State requirements here say it has to have a catalytic converter, 2 side mirrors and a rearview mirror, and needs a bumper height of 24 inches max, do you think it will be ok? Can I get my emissions sticker at the Mobil station like usual?

it is the same as having a fully open diff, because when it's unlocked it is a fully open diff. When it's locked it keeps one axleshaft tied to the carrier - when you think this through fully it becomes clear that this automatically locks the other axleshaft to the carrier as well via the...

You should likely also heat it after doing as supermechanic said. If you heat it to a fairly high temperature (say 220 degrees or so) and keep it that way, almost all the coolant will boil out. Heating it to a lower temperature and drawing a vacuum to lower the vapor pressure of the water will...

yep... I ninja edited it just after you quoted this apparently :oops:

hmmmm... I like the way this is going. How much did the new tranny run you? Might have already been posted, I seem to have forgotten. I am still thinking about adding an auxiliary OD tranny in the rear driveshaft of mine and converting the T138 to air shift though. At the very least I'd like...

you and me both... A bunch of my friends call it "the massivemobile", has a kind of a nice ring to it. I mostly call it the big truck. Full list: Big truck - M54A2 Small truck - '91 Jeep MJ Big jeep - '96 Jeep XJ Small jeep - '98 Jeep XJ The big jeep is getting junked in a year or two (too...

Welcome! I'm in Worcester right now, but moving to Southbridge as soon as I finish rebuilding the house I bought, or as soon as I get a roof on it and it gets warm, either way. Let me know if you need a hand turning wrenches, if I'm free I'll usually work for free or beer/pizza.

My apologies... did not mean to get this derail started :lol: Any other causes of loose steering people know of?

huh, guess a friend of mine misinformed me... had never seen them myself. Grade 8 it is! EDIT: maybe not. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex;jsessionid=d07ede51cad192c0d0f0f25531a8dc217d0f49cc20a31d6307d891e8b6cced21.e34RbhmQbxiOai0Nb350rQjwqQzOnh8?sku=11101606 grade 9 bolts here...

Another thing to keep an eye on is the bracket for the steering box. The one in my M54A2 w/ power steering worked loose at the frame end, all the rivets were stretched and loose. I have replaced one of them with a suitably sized grade 8 bolt and will be replacing the others as soon as I figure...

I know the feeling there. battlebuggy, thanks for warning me about that and saving me a lot of hassle and legal fees... :beer:

pretend I am retarded... which forms exactly did you fill out? I am trying to figure out how to register my M54A2 for personal use, and in Mass it appears entirely impossible. I have to register it for commercial use even though it will never be used commercially, and I have to get...

Hey, just saw this thread! I'm in Southbridge. Truck is in Mont Vernon NH till Thursday and possibly a bit later depending on if I manage to fix it completely or not.

Broadway does not do military vehicles from what their site says. I guess they got tired of dealing with all of us nuts rofl Ever see the James Bond movies? Build yourself a plate switching machine... you now are two different trucks... rofl (I am completely kidding, that would be all kinds...

beachbummer - that is a pretty neat radio! Also, yeah... I personally don't even care if people know where I live. Internet Tough Guys can bring it :grd:

this is exactly what I was hoping not to read :( I was hoping I could send stuff to VT as a resident of MA and it would work. Oh well, I knew it was too good to be true... A friend of mine in my jeep club has property in VT, I'll have to see if maybe he would not mind running stuff to the VT...

Drop by if you do (especially if you are driving the M109!) I'm a WPI alum (class of 08, electrical and computer engineering) and currently work at Intel in Hudson. Careful about those HF tools... some of em are crap! Some are pretty nice though.

Welcome! I am currently in Worcester, my M54A2 is in Mont Vernon NH till I manage to get a roof back onto the house I bought in Southbridge, then I am going and getting it off my (very tolerant) friend's lawn after we finish fixing the engine! I will be in the Southbridge area soon. What was...

It's mostly in the center, not really bendable using that method as far as I can tell. We'll see.

Mine has battle damage in a good number of areas... I am fixing some and leaving the rest. Mirror supports are all bent up and rigged, I am fixing those. Left fender is dented in and the signal lamp housing is smashed, I am fixing that (to the best of my abilities, bought a new light and will...
