    Water Outlet, Engine question

    I had the same problem except it was my top bolt. I found a crossover on eBay for the 6.2. The 6.5 crossover has the thermostat facing up. At least the one I was given does. It would bolt to the engine but the radiator hose would not have fit. There are guys on here that have the crossovers, try...

    Here we go again with the H.O.A

    Most municipalities (cities, counties) consider a vehicle that has three axles commercial. You can argue the fact but these codes have been around a long time. They do not care if it is tagged with historic, military or some other special tag.(Straight from the mouth of the inspector) Here in...

    How to engage the front axle?

    Wow, poor OP got his thread hijacked big time. There is lots of info rarely seen on the site in here though. Maybe a mod should change the title for future searches. To the OP, I hope you gained some knowledge. Do you still need some advice? Sorry for losing track of your original question!

    How to engage the front axle?

    Sorry I did not catch the to the right part! Sounds like someone may have converted an air shift to manual. I think that would be a first. Waitin' for the pics!

    How to engage the front axle?

    That is the hi/low lever for your transfer case. The front axle is engaged with a sprag clutch if it is not air operated. The air operated will have a small lever with a indicator light under the edge of the dash. The sprag only engages the front axle when the rear drive shaft turns faster than...

    Drivetrain transmission problem

    Transfer case linkage out of adjustment? Probably nothing wrong with your transmission. Body mounts worn out?

    SR71 Blackbird

    The Air Museum in Warner Robins Georgia did have a SR71 and a Drone sitting next to it. You could actually walk up and under this plane. There not as tall as you would think. If your in Macon it is a great place to kill some time. http://www.museumofaviation.org/...

    SR71 Blackbird

    The original start carts had Buick Nailhead's in them. That just adds to the cool factor of these planes.

    startup issue?

    My pump would not come on the other day, upon inspection I found a loose connection screw under the cover. It had not been apart in years. Makes me wonder how much it ran or not going down the road.

    hot rod deuce and half

    Deuce spring packs have the smaller springs at the top. The pic is of an old gasser with dual stack springs. All leaf springs are to be flattened to accept load be it from the top or bottom and some packs are loaded from the center ie(pick up) or from the ends upside down such as the deuce or...

    **2013 Florida Military Vehicle Rally**Fall Event**

    Jackie's internet connection must be down. I can't believe no one has posted any pics. I know several people there have smart phones and don't need the DSL connection. Unless their stuck out in the swamp. Connection out there is spotty at best.

    What's a good way to verify whether or not am M923A2 has lockers?

    Eaton no spins unlock when one axle shaft is turned faster than the other. The only diffs these axles had were open or Eaton no spins. If you jack up both axles yes the open diff will spin the center driveshaft and the other axle. However, if you leave the other axle on the ground and just jack...

    What's a good way to verify whether or not am M923A2 has lockers?

    It will work with just one side of one axle off the ground. Brakes are a different story, don't know anything about a five ton. Have done this test on a 2.5 Rockwell and it will unlock because you turn the axle faster than the carrier. Yes it will unlock and spin free if it has a locker. If it...

    What's a good way to verify whether or not am M923A2 has lockers?

    Just jack up one side of a rear axle. Grab the tire and give it a good turn back and forth. If it does not turn it is a open diff. If it unlocks and spins free then it will be a Detroit "no spin" differential. The faster rotating axle shaft will unlock from the diff and remain so until the...
