If you were spraying the stuff from the cab, most/all was wasted. Have to spray up between the tank and cab and hit the square(at least on mine) nut that is under the seat belt setup in the cab. Might be worth removing some of the mud and rust first. Sometimes it takes a day or so for the...

2nd on the thought that stop leak is a temporary fix. It sometimes allows you to defer a fix for a few months but in most cases you will be doing a more permanent fix. When the shop flushed the radiator, did they also blow out any crap filling the air passages? Plugged air flow gives the same...

If the dealer can't find a value for it as a CUCV, see if they can provide a MSRP for a 6.2 diesel K30 w/auto trans since that is basically what these CUCVs are with a few extra 24v bits added on. They are otherwise pretty much what used to be sold as a basic work truck.

Nothing says you can't ask an attorney for advice on how to best do a small claims court case even if they can't go with. If your state allows spectators in the small claims court, go watch several cases to get familiar with how things work. If there is more than one judge, try to sit in...

Both my M1101 and M101A1 have a junction box where the military cable interfaces with the trailer wiring. Instead of hacking up a good military cable, access the junction box and wire your civilian cable in there. If you buy the proper wire ends, you can make up a civilian cable set the just...

It is likely the missing belt is the primary belt for the power steering pump. IIRC - it is the rear one. Goes around the main pulley, water pump and PS. A 2nd belt goes on the PS pump and the driver's side alt. One of my Gen lights sometimes needs a RPM bump to go out but not always...

Found this link for a 22SI @ 24V. http://www.delcoremy.com/find-a-part/product-details/19020382 Supposedly the 22SI is a physical drop in replacement for a 27SI except for isolated ground. That link shows a 28SI @ 24v @ 110amp as an upgrade. No clue on pulley and double check rotation...

Double check the service light and blackout light switches. IIRC, there is a combination of settings that will leave the blackout relay engaged.

You can get a 24v alt with high output amps. No need for isolated ground. Keep the 12v alt that ties to vehicle ground. The 24v alt runs the AC and tops off both batteries while the 12v alt supplies the 12v system and provides any charging the lower battery needs that isn't provided by the...

30~40 gallon Suburban fuel tank. Already has provisions for filling with cap, withdrawal and as a bonus, has a gauge sender. Designed for some exposure to elements. Same for deuce fuel tank.

Not on the suction side. The mechanical pump sucks the fuel out of the tank and feeds to the injector system. Chewed/rotted hole lets air in when the pump is running. The hole breaks any siphon effect once the pump stops. There might be a few drops spill during shutdown but probably not...

Double check the rubber line from the tank to the frame and frame to the mechanical pump. Frame to pump often gets changed as it is a simple job. One from tank to frame often gets skipped. Out of sight and all. If it is original, possible it is starting to let air into the system. Also...

A clean bed floor + supports ready for bolt on side panels might be worth $ to someone doing a Chevy square PU restoration. The bed by the tailgate often catches dirt and salt and rusts out early.

If the first one stripped/broke and you stopped, soak the other three in whatever thread break solvent you can obtain(Liquid Wrench type stuff). Go have brunch. Come back and try the other three. If they come loose, fairly simple to drop the shaft at that point. If the two on the side...

One possibility for the oil loss might be a plugged air filter. When I drove my M1008 to a friend's house after purchase(he is about half way to my place and we didn't have time to complete the trip that day) it used about a quart of oil for a 30 mile trip. On the 2nd half of the recovery...

When I was working at a discount store for college money, a customer brought back a new lawnmower that "Just quit running". Yep, no oil. We gave the customer a replacement for PR purposes, assembled in store with oil. After soaking with Marvel Mystery Oil and some beating on the blade, the...

Is the oil line that was smoking close to the exhaust or other high heat source? Thinking if so and your oil cooler is plugged, that line got overheated due to being close to the heat with no circulation. 2nd the double check engine temp idea. Is the engine temp light still working? Same...

One thing I don't see is a cotter pin for the castle nut. Could explain the wheel falling off. Please check the other side before moving the trailer again. Possible whoever built that axle missed that step somehow.

Depending on your hitch setup, you may need some quick links and short pieces of chain to allow the safety chains to connect to your truck. Many military hitches sit forward of the loops for the chains instead of behind like many civilian tow vehicles. Unless it has been switched, expect the...

You should also evaluate the need for them. If they have sat 18 years without use, do you really need them? As you have noticed, even free stuff often has an ongoing cost to keep it ready to use. Possible any uses for the trailer portable generators might now be met with hand portable...
