Welldigger, you are one cool dude, you really treat people right and it will always come back to you in spades. I know, it's often that I tell guys how to avoid buying my expensive parts by taking another good way out to fix a problem, and you know what? They always say thanks. JT out
That pressure priority valve screwed up on my 923 and I lost all dash air including wipers and front wheel drive engagement. I borrowed one and installed it, everything is fine now. I would like to find one NOS if anyone knows where to get one. Good luck Lex Ordo, my thoughts are with you, JT out
I'll be there by Thursday as usual, I can make an M332 Ammo trailer cover if you want it, Maddog, let me know. Will be Canvas,OD only. Can bring anything anyone needs, JT out.
I was the first to make the XM381 shorty in 2001, since then, you all know everyone does the same thing but different. I lengthened the drive shaft 9 and 3/4" and set the 105 bed centered over the new axle position. The longer wheel base makes for a much more stable ride and better control in...

New Lower Radiator Hose
Answering OP's original query: the end with the kink or offset goes to the water pump outlet, the straight end goes to to the radiator. Cut nothing. Napa hose is never right, the kink is there to miss alternator belts. All this is from sad experience. Jt out

I look forward to more suggestions from you guys who understand trucks and their limitations. I'm getting pretty excited and a...
I know this is too much of a trip alone in hot weather, I give advice to people all the time to stay within sensible limits on their goals. I can't explain why I am driving to the Gathering, except I said I was, so......., how about some help on alternate roads that work for truckers and I can...
