Did you use any kind of primer? Just curious.

There's a thread on here somewhere with me going through the process of getting my M51a2 6X6 working. I did the whole thing with the diesel in the xfer case, rebuilding the poppet valve, replacing the poppet valve, and getting a kit to rebuild the cylinder. AS my luck works out it turned out...

I've been running 100% WMO in my M51A2 for about 4 years with no problems, even with fuel filters. I filter down to 10 microns before putting it in the truck. My WMO is mostly 10W-30 motor oil with some lower viscosity hydraulic fluid from my tractors and some ATF from my Tahoe and Grand...

That may be the kind I needed for my DTC 8606 Froklift. It had a two compartment tank wet side/dry side setup. I couldn't find one when I needed it so I took a new larger one for a semi trailer and mounted it on the hood because there just wasn't room underneath. 2cents

You may have a problem with that "white primer" underneath the CARC. My 8606 has that and I couldn't figure why there was a white undercoat on my Marine forklift painted with CARC. I eventually found out it was a latex primer. The problem is it pops off in quarter sized spots randomly all...

I'm not familiar with Chasis Saver but POR 15 is supposed to be applied over bare metal only. It needs to be degreased and prepped with an acid wash, either their Metal Prep or I use phosporic acid like they use to clean grout off of ceramic tile. POR 15 won't stick to any paint.2cents

Just thinkin' how about adding a buzzer connected through a manual switch(maybe out of sight) turn it on when you leave and turn it off when you return. Think a very annoying burgler alarm.:shock:

You can bet if the druggies have taken over none have wiring harnesses left.2cents

A lot of people on here throw out that "search the forum" thing freely but don't bother to mention the search function is pretty much useless if you don't know the tricks to using it. The best way is to forget SS's search and go to Google instead. Have Google search the Steel Soldier site for...

I think the joke is over one way or another. I keep a heavy 8 mil plastic bag in my M52a2 to put over the dust separator on the intake since blocking the air intake with a board like the M54a2 won't work.:shock:

The reason I didn't try anything like you did moving trucks is that I spent several years following SS and the MV list on Yahoo before I made the plunge. I actually had all my MVs hauled home on a tractor trailer. Expensive but safer when you don't know what you're doing, and I didn't. I'm...

She's going to the movies, she's just picking her seat.:roll:

I got my '89 Suburban a couple of years ago for $ 1100 from GSA in Ft Leavenworth. Ran good, 350 gas, granny low 4 speed and 4.56 gears, 3/4 ton. I saved everything but the body which was pretty rusty. It had a broken fork on the clutch. I got it to put in my '80 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup. I...

Does anyone know if it's different than the one for a 5 ton?

I don't know about running straight water in a big diesel, the SCA(supplemental coolant additives) to prevent cavatation along cylinder walls are listed for usage with antifreeze. It's too cold around here to run only water and you would loose the higher boiling point of antifreeze. I have no...

If you have a needle valve that's all brass hang on to it if you rebuild the carberator. The new replacements that have the black tip(Delrin) will soften from the alcohol and the bowl will overfill. I didn't find out about this until I'd already rebuilt almost all my carbs. Alcohol runs OK in...

I weren't askin' what they were for new, just what they was good for now.:roll: As far as behind the barn, what did you hear? I had a bad experience back there once, my girlfirend's mother caught us messin' around. Know what she said, "MOOooo!":lol:

Make sure you clean it up as soon and as completely because it is terribly corossive. I'm not saying how I know this, great for fire supression otherwise a mess.:roll:

Looks like a well thought out plan, it hadn't occured to me to mark it first. Duh! Thanks

I have a roll of insulating mateial with foil backing that has a mesh behind the foil facing the insulation is 3/8 " thick. I was going to use it on my hood. I bought the plastic holders at O'reillys but I don't remember how much they were. My question is how did you locate the holes in the...
