Detroit Diesel Thermostat OEM Replacement 03038144 Well, I took my thermostat out of the truck and tested it. It worked great. I reinstalled it in the truck and then realized I wanted to flush the coolant system really well first. Well.... during the uninstall phase, I put too much upward...

I know, there's something about this truck that I seem to be attracted to. The ugly looks, the loud DD, and the maintenance challenges. I love a good challenge;-)

Modification Work Order 9-2320-242-35 Tonight I scored one of the most important accessories for the M561/M792, in my opinion. It's the MWO for the addition of the driver and passenger seatbelts in the tractor unit. Having a wife and 3 kids (+1 but he's only 8 months) wanting to ride in this...

Thank you Juan!! I'm going to take those belts back tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up sir!

Hose Replacement with NAPA hoses I meant to post this a couple days ago. Here are some of the hoses I bought to replace the cracked and aging 1970 hoses. I found this formed hose to be perfect but had to trim 2-3 inches off the end for a perfect fit. The other hoses were just trimmed off a...

New Radiator and Crankcase Oil Drain Valve Got a couple things on the porch today. Got my oil drain valve and a new radiator from Saturn Surplus. I paid $18 shipped f for the valve and $250 +$14.50 shipping for the radiator. I got both items off E***. The valve had a MAKE OFFER w/free shipping...

Oh, yes sorry about that.

I ordered the same one. Did you get yours out of Canada? I've got the filter and 9 qts of Rotella T1 just waiting. Finding a single wt diesel motor oil was the biggest challenge. Seems no one carries single wt with the needed CF2 rating.

Filters, Belts, etc Made a couple trips to NAPA over the past couple days. I ordered a ALL new hoses, belts, filters, and Rotella T1 30w oil. I initially bought my usual Rotella T 15/40 and found out it was not CF-2 rated for a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke. I bought three different straight hoses of...

This story is what got me deeper into MV's:-)

I second Bob Connor's M2HB replica. I've got one proudly displayed on my guntruck

Yes sir that's the one. I had things in motion to buy it, but the Mr. Mangels found out he couldn't sell it due to the agreement with the US Govt. Apparently it's basically on loan to the museum. He said in order to sell it, he'd have to strip it and demil it. The deal crusher was he didn't have...

Elma? That's only 10 miles from me. Hopefully, I have that day off on the schedule. I'll let you know when I get back from vacation in a bout a week or so.

Cornhead grease

Pics before I bought her Here are some pics of the Goat before I bought her. I haven't had any time or opportunities to take any pics. Been down with some kind of flu bug and just haven't been motivated to do much of anything. Funny thing is, I was just perusing the internet and found my Goat...

Draining Fluids and New Radiator & Crankcase Drain Kit Over the past couple days I've been trying to get the interior tub cleaned up. There must have been a good 1" of pine needles mixed with oil and grease caked along the bottom of the tub. I used about 2 qts of Simple Green to get things...
