This thread got the gears turning for me. After some violent steering feedback in the mud ruts at Haspin, I thought it worth a try.
The truck has 900x20 NDCC tires all around.
The damper is a Monroe 555949 Gas Magnum RV steering damper. Plenty of stroke at 12.25 inches. Rockauto - $29

The alternator came from Pat's Small Engine Plus. Part # AHADR0009. It's a Delco 27SI style 24 volt 65 amp alternator.
The bracket set came from George, user name " tm america " on this forum. The brackets work very well. They use the original belts. You will need to bore the pulley from the...
This all sounds too familiar.
My A2 had similar problems this past Spring. It charged fine but there would be a light sweet burning smell at times. One day it quit charging. I looked around and found evidence of arcing between the alternator battery connection and the sheetmetal cover. I...
I'm with Sparky on this one.
From Southbound 75, take Galbraith Road , exit 10. Go left on Galbraith, go about 0.6 miles, then turn right onto 126 West. Get off 126 at Hamilton Ave. Go south on Hamilton Ave to Galbraith (the next large intersection). Right on Galbraith and the first right onto...
I made it home safely yesterday evening. The bulk of the mud I left there with didn't make it to my driveway.
On the way back, cars would zoom up on my bumper then quickly drop back as they found themselves on the losing end of a mudball fight.
As always, the company was great. It was nice...
I had a change in plans and will be arriving about 7:30 Saturday morning.
It will be a day trip for me this time.
Eagle is bringing eggs and sausage. I'll have the rest for Saturday breakfast.
Everyone have a safe trip .

Bring the eggs and I'll take them off my list. Fresh are always better than what I can get at the grocery store.
Don't know what to tell you about the sausage but I would think 5 to 8 lbs would be in the ballpark.
I was planning on bringing 10 packages of turkey bacon, 5 dozen eggs and 5 dozen English muffins. I have the bacon but haven't picked up the eggs yet. If you want to bring eggs let me know how many more I need to bring.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not...
It doesn't leak a little, I can watch oil running down the pan rail and dripping on the ground while it runs.
It didn't occur to me that blue sealer would work on a green truck. You have enlightened me. Thanks Steve.
Back in the day as a Jaguar technician we called it British rustproofing.
Thanks for all the responses.
I've tried Memphis, Saturn, Eric's and e#ay with no luck.
I might be cutting gaskets soon.
When I bought this thing a year ago it would leave a small oil spot under the engine. The source was the oil filter housing. That was resealed and the lifter covers were tightened. It's all pretty dry up there now.
The transmission and transfer case always have a drop hanging from them. The...
I'm still on board to bring stuff for Saturday morning breakfast.
I will have 8 lbs. of turkey bacon, 5 dozen eggs and 5 dozen English muffins.
I'll have a 2 burner Coleman stove with a griddle, so another cooking source will most likely be needed.
Unfortunately, no green eggs and ham.
