OOPS ! ! ! Shoulda read the whole thing and not skipped to the end. Anyways, the post is still righteous and might help somebody in the future. Get yourself a remote starter switch (any auto parts place or even H F). Then you can crank it while leaning over (NOT on) the fender while...

Gentlemen, gentlemen . . . :lol: Heat must be gettin' to y'all. chrisniak, Welcome from Southcentral PA. All of the posters above are, I M H O, correct in their fashion. The most important things you need are mechanical skills, and resources. This place is FULL OF the second. Finding...

Coffey1, looks awesome ! Is that the approved pattern from the TMs ? Not saying it matters, just never saw one taped and painted using all the little pick-up points so quickly.

Yessir ! I have lotsa memories of friends whose rides had "a funny noise, canya jist look at it for me? ". Best, ( and a VERY old joke) was the one that told me he had a hole in his muffler, could I fix it without buying a WHOLE new one? Told him all he needed was new MUFFLER BEARINGS. He...

computer54, You live in Nashville and nobody can getcha a rebuild kit for a NP208 ? Really ? I am more disappointed every time I get to them thar Smoky Mountians. Broke mah dang Heart when Gatlinburg burned, and it wasn't even Sherman this time.

cucvrus, Wow, ya dodged a .30 caliber there. I had a borrowed pick-up returned to me on a roll-back with the RF wheel hangin'. They wanted to do some four wheelin' after they used it to move. I asked if I could borrow his T/A for the night. Had some cops I wanted to chase me . . . Ba dum...

Spray a test panel (white license plate blanks from a craft store) with the color you want and take it to your paint mixer. If they have a scanner they can match it in seconds or they can do it manually by mix and test. I have even taken pictures of colors i like and had them matched.

bwana and S D, I actually felt a little ree ree when I read about that (redneck penetrant, if I may) on here. Been turnin' wrenches since I was old enuff to hold one and have NEVER heard of it. But after thinking about it, the boss bought what he wanted used and if it worked then it's...

As Chico said to the Man, " Looooooo-keen Gooooood ! ! ! "

simp, 5x5 on the temp. Had the same thing happen with ambulances when they went to dual alts with the diesels. Rigged some ducting and wallah, problem went bye bye.

Haven't had any break from being sprayed while parked. I am talking about sitting for a few months. Overloaded ? Yes. Rusted from sitting ? Yes. But never when maintained and loaded properly. Agree that use is the best solution.

Pennsylvania's roads will leave my packs shining like the sun. And my kidneys even more damaged than they are now. Another old trick, if it'll be parked for a while, spray the packs with penetrating oil. Not a perfect solution but every little bit helps. Still haven't tried the ATF / acetone...

tobyS, well, no goin back.

That would require research would it not ? :naner: Sorry, bad joke. 18 hour day after 1.5 hrs. sleep is my only excuse

Unless you are using the same metal on ALL parts they can corrode including different ALLOYS of the same base metal. Best solution is a SMALL amount of anti-seize compound on any dissimilar metal surfaces. Hardware store grade is fine for mounting things like your radio rack. Be conservative...

That's step one.

Well, then make a shopping list and hit your closest Pick & Pull salvage yard. Basics : compressor, preferably off a GM with a 6.2 diesel. Any can be made to fit but that should be a bolt on. Take all the lines and attached parts all the way to the firewall. A crankcase breather for the low...

Does your vehicle have a/c now ? If so you have most of it. Some lines (or hoses), a FILTERED inlet source, a storage vessel (tank) WITH DRAIN and a high pressure cut-off, and a way to get the air to your end use device. (tool, inflator, etc.) The link above is good. I also have seen...

Profo, sir, I have read everything on here about all of the camper conversions being done or that have been done. I had tried a coupla times to find yours and either got di . . . SQUIRREL ! ! ! . . . stracted. Or fell asleep at the switch. I have been told your work is outstanding and that...

Elijah95, Almost seems like ya could reach out and touch the track don't it ? Had a tractor on Daytona years ago. Very disconcerting feeling until I hit about 90. (Yes, Kenworths, and others before somebody cries foul, could, before electronic b.s.) 74M35A2, When I get to that point on an...
