He's thrown some of that fine WilWagner TLC my way. Helped me replace injector o-rings and gave her a tune-up. My ol' bucket runs pretty well because of Will.

End notes The box upgrade actually looks better on my truck than I imagined. It is a little different procedure climbing into the cab, but it all works. The plastic battery boxes are easier to remove than the original set up. There are steel cables that retain the plastic boxes when...

Step support/span bracket modification After bolting up to the frame brackets and fender support arm, the box felt a little flimsy when I stood on the step. I decided I would modify the rear angle bracket and attach it the span bracket between the two steps. With the help of my neighbor, we...

Front support I decided to use the fender rear support arm to hold up the front of the steel box. I removed the two inner bolts on the fender support bracket, dry fitted the steel box and marked the box for drilling. I drilled for 3/8” bolts then mounted the box to the frame brackets. For...

Step support/span bracket The two 45-degree support bracket would not work with the 809 install as provided. The box hangs lower in relation to the frame for these brackets to be effective. Here was where the thinking really began. The front bracket is flat and the rear has approximately...

Bracket Installation Obviously, the first thing is to remove was the original battery box set-up. Everything goes down to the frame…the only thing left are the battery cables; hot lead, the 12VDC accessory lead and the ground lead. I flipped the steel box on its head to loosely mount the...

I have had my eye on a 939-series upgrade battery box for sometime now. I thought it would be a nice to modify one these boxes for use on M818 (all 809 series trucks should be able to use this mod). Well, I came upon a rather affordable kit locally with benefit of no shipping costs. I spent a...

Hundy...looks familiar...except different flavor. I like it[thumbzup]...HEY, maybe I need a green one too...wait...I think I hear my wife griping at me. Bouncy. Ask me how I know. However, very maneuverable due to short wheelbase. Great for these busy West L.A. streets and easy parking...

Here's the parking light mod. thread I used. Took about 15 minutes, the cost was less than $5.00 and works great. It is a Deuce thread but all circuits are the same in this regard...Enjoy... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/46341-turn-deuce-front-parking-lights-into-markers.html

Likin' the straight stack and flapper!

Very nice addition to your stable[thumbzup]. Does the little Philly have a name yet??

Thanks for the "how-to". My cylinder was leaking also and I just rebuilt it several weeks ago. I got my rebulid kit from Memphis. It included the copper washers, spring retaining washers and the rubber gasket that seals the input shaft. All went well with my project...just took a lot of...

Here is what I got for my 855. Got it from Napa and wasn't exactly cheap. BUT, it's Cummins approved, HD and concentrated. Oh, yeah, its red... Valvoline.com > Products > Zerex > Antifreeze Zerex > Zerex® Extended Life Antifreeze / Coolant

Well today, Oct. 08, two years ago I took delivery of M818. So, I guess you can call it an anniversary. I'm one who feels like I never get anything done...always seem to have a time deficit. So to put the last two years into perspective, I decided to list my accomplishments as far as repairs...

I have spin on adapter for my fuel filter. As a security measure, I installed a locking ball valve on the fuel tank side of the fuel filter. An unintended use for this valve was to maintain prime during filter changes. Upon removing the filter, I first close the valve retaining all the fuel...

Here are the instructions for changing out a horn wire in an M809 series steering column. They came from the newer style horn button kit (P/N 11677308, NSN 2590010934152). The kits are available at: Erik's... Horn Button Switch Kit (new style) For M35A2/M35A3/M809 etc, 11677308 IPS (Clark...

Just been saving them up...time is at a premium these days:grin:

At idle my truck's exhaust stack would vibrate to the point were the metal stack bracket and cab bracket would grind together. This would, in turn, make an annoying high pitch squeaking. The stock spring set up was not offering enough stand off. I removed the inadequate stock springs, bolts...
