My rear main started puking oil on a trip one day, it was a steady stream while it was running. I went and got some rear main seal stop leak additive and drove it home, fixed the leak. I know its only temporary but it has allowed me to stretch my dollar a little more. I'm going to be doing the...

RE: manifold heater O-rings replacement It took me a while too. I had to bang it really hard onto a hard surface to jar it loose. The problem is the o-ring gets hung up in the groove thet the c clip sets into. It has not leaked since the repair and my truck starts right up when the start button...

RE: manifold heater O-rings replacement Mine has been leaking fuel onto the turbo so I replaced the 2 o- rings inside and took a pic of the innards. Pretty easy job, but I have'nt put it back on so I dont know if the leak is fixed. I used some o-rings from a universal kit that I have and have...

I towed an M1009 about 350 miles with a toyota tundra and was fine. Drove very carefully and disconnected the rear driveshaft and hung it up tight with a bungee cord. I too have burned up a transfer case by flat towing too long, too fast.

Looks great! I would love to have had a dropside bed on mine. I think they become much more fun after a bob job. Here is a most recent pic of mine. Still have to paint it and finish welding up the bed.

RE: Beach Trips Money is going to be tight the rest of the year until wifey goes back work in January. I am starting to kick around a trip to Gorman to test out my new M1030, that is a nice close cheap trip. I dont see being able to make a Pismo trip with the family and motorhome until spring...

Sounds about the same as mine. You need to get a load on the motor to get the temps up.

I think Mike Pop had a real nice unimog with a radio box that was converted to a camper or it might have been a Unimog radio box on a M105 chasis, either way it was real cool, there should be pics on the site somewhere. I tried the Unimog thing, they are awesome but I am partial to the duece.

I am definately interested in a trip up there. I would probably bring the family on this one and stay for 3 nights.

I am selling new in box ones that are the newest style vinyl with the built in end curtains for $200 (cargo cover only). They are desert tan but can be painted with house paint. They are not mine, just selling them for a friend without any profit to me. He also has the cab tops new in box...

I cant wait for the next trip and I promise I will stay more than 24hrs next time! Just bad timing with the new baby and the wife being sick. I tried getting Will's fire walking picture but there was too much delay on the camera. Did you hear about the guy that was killed on Saturday while we...

I made it home safe and sound.We had a great time, I had to cut out early to get back home to mama. I underestimated how cold it would be and spent all night shivering and half awake so I am pretty tired. Have lots to do at home so here are some pics.

Hundy, I will bring the tires. My day off tomorrow got revoked, gotta work anyway now and the wife is happy with my decision to head out at 6 am Saturday. See you guys bright and early Saturday morning (8 oclock ish), if anybody needs anything Will has my number.

I might not be able to make it out until early Saturday morning (by 0800). The wife is only approvinig a 1 night pass (due to new baby) and I would rather not have to drive home Saturday night. Also, does anybody have any interest in 4 12.5 R20 Michelin XL's with 95% tread left? I am not going...

Im still in. Have been having a heck of a time with these A3 wheels. Finally figured out how to break them down, its not too bad of a job but it leaked after I put it all back together so its gotta come back apart. I'm still planning on coming out Friday with Yellobronc but might still be...

I'm just about ready. Installed my new vinyl cargo cover today just before it started raining. It is nice, has the built in front and rear flaps. Fiddled around trying to get my A3 wheels and tires swapped around, couldnt get the tire off the rim, called tire shop and he quoted me $25/wheel to...

Thanks for the info G, I just finished trying to break one down, I gave up. Tire shop wants $25/wheel to swap the tires out which seems like a pretty good deal considering the work involved and my lack of specialty tire tools. Cruzin28 I can spare one of my counterweights if you cant get one...

I just picked up my A3 wheels yesterday and am going to swap tires. Anybody know if the rubber O-ring needs to be replaced everytime the wheels are split or can they be reused? 3 of my wheels came with 14.5 20's (1 of them is brand spanking new) and the 4th has a Continental 365/80 R20 like G...

Changed my oil and added John Tennis' spin on filter kit today, works great! Oil pressure within 3 seconds of start up. I will be bringing some items out to sell for a buddy if anyone is interested, New in box duece cargo covers, desert tan vinyl only $200, Desert tan vinyl cab tops, new in box...

Here is the link that I hijacked/piggy backed off of instead of starting a new thread. http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=20591&highlight= I have been waiting on some wider rims that I found locally to mount my 12.5 R 20 XL's on and am keeping my fingers crossed...
