You'll have her going in short order. I always like to take them to the car wash, as soon as possible - they will look like a new dollar.

I disagree with Post #11. What I said if true. If the drive shaft is fixed, with only one wheel up, all things proper & sound, you won't be able to turn the jacked up side.. If both wheel ends are off the ground, the spiders will cause the other side to rotate opposite (drive shaft fixed)...

That truck is untried for work. A deuce has been tested. You can probably get a real nice one, for half the price of the bobber. Put a couple of tons in the Deuce, and a custom hitch on the rear, and she'll work for you. Plain NDT's will do the job. If its not an air shift front, make sure...

Jack up one front wheel at a time, with it in 4WD. The one that turns, is the one that is broken. Welcome

Actually, there are 8 big shackles on the Bolster. Measuring them, they are an inch larger/longer then the ones on the 101A2 -you probably wouldn't be able to notice much difference. The ones on the 101A1, are the same as the small ones on the sides. The Big Ones are nice, but I want to have...

I Think that the 24.5 will come the closest. That is what I have always run on my transport. Get a tape & do the circumference of the NDT. All the Mfg's list their specs. The 24.5, isn't as popular any more, as the 22.5 is. The idea is to save weight with the smaller size - so they are...

I'll see what I can find tomorrow. Seems like mine has two kinds. The smaller version is very lose to civi common shapes, which i'm sure would be strong enough, but will check it tomorrow.

All the shoes will not wear at the same rates. In a single WC system, such as on an M35A2, the leading shoe will tend to bite into the drum better due to drum rotation, then the rear shoe, thus wearing faster. I did the front axle a while back. The leading shoes were half worn, & the rear...

Relief valve is stuck closed

You said, 3/4" lug nuts... Did you mean 3/4" lug studs. That would be the 5 hole Buds that fit the M37. The round tail lights put it back there a ways too. They recently sold some in Victorville. Don't remember what they are called. Its for high mobility. I don't place the surge brake part...

If it has a good title, you better get it.

I think he has a point - give him a chance. But it would be helpful to have a more accurate size, of the two different pins being shown. A Caliper dimension, would be helpful, and to know the correct diameter pin size. I think many of us have had experience where stuff has been peddled as...

The car wash is your friend!

That pickup will tow a 105 just fine at those speeds, as long as you don't have to stop fast, and then it will push you into the middle of next week. You'll be real lucky, if it doesn't jack knife in the process! I know, there is always this discussion, and there are always Folks that...

See how they compare to the stock wheels. On the inside offset, you might get away with another inch, but I wouldn't go more, and that might be too much for off road work, where its likely to rock around more. But those are real fat tires, and they might be too much. The short answer is, pay...

Re-circulating interior air works. Although I prefer to use fuel burning heaters, years ago, I put a re-circulating loop on my M37 Recently, on a trailer recovery to Fairbanks for an M 989, with my Deuce, there were stretches of -20F. I ran the heater on LOW, all the way. So, if you think its...

That's starting to make sense. I knew that if its possible to work on it, there must be a trick to it. Thanks

Several days ago, I had occasion to recover a M 989 Ammo Trailer. I took a "new to me", but also, new looking Inter Vehicle Cable, as well as a light bar, in case things didn't work. I ended up, using the light bar, but the issue was the inter vehicle cable. The trailer lights are perfect...

Are you sure it isn't a leaking oil cooler? Oil pressure is higher then water pressure, so that is where it will go. Same symptoms. I,d change it (cooler) 1st, then drain the system, add water, and a box of Cascade dish soap. Flush. Do you have other head gasket symptoms? Tow cylinders...

Good Luck - your on to Adventure now. Once you get her running, get on Hwy 395, and go straight North, rather then the traffic side of the Sierras. It will lead you into the SE corner of Oregon. Much more scenic too. The down side of that route is, its more remote, if you need help, but I...
