That is the main reason I am keeping the DOT 5 in my truck. I just rebuilt the entire front end and painted it while I was at it. I also am replacing the master cylinder and brake calipers and don't want to have all that paint slough off due to a spill from the master cylinder. I honestly don't...

Maybe 'cause they knew it would just be like what happened with the word "Inflammable"?

Oh, the horror of it all... Of course the market is flooded. You might want to hang on to those D60 front ends for a while. they are dirt cheap right now, but once they have all found thier new homes, which usually is under a rock crawler if not under the original chevy frame, it will only a...

Notice the relationship between Si and C in the periodic table? It would have been interesting if God had decided to use Si for the basis of life on this planet, but then, I suppose, He would have had to do away with oxygen, or we'd all turn into piles of sand pretty quick. I was hoping you...

Oh, what a tangled web we weave... You should know better than to try and trick your fellow SS members into something like this. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. I only had one class in college on economics, but I did learn the rules of supply and demand. Now is not the time to sell with these things. They are at...

There are currently several NP205s on ebay and some are pretty cheap compared to what they were going for a couple of years ago.

It was 60 regular days. I firmly demanded a refund and scolded them for keeping my money for two months and leaving me with nothing to show for it. Igot the sale canceled in a day, and the refund came to my credit card in less than 48 hours. The icing on the cake was the EUCs clearing for my...

I thougth hydrophylic meant water-loving, or would absorb water. So I think DOT-5 is Hydrophobic, or water-hating, like wax. In other words, water is non-soluble in DOT-5, and that is why it will form a water bubble in the brake lines if it gets in there somehow. The like-dissolves-like is true...

They do make good daily drivers except when it gets really hot. We are buying a house in High Springs, Fl - about 15 minutes north of Gainesville, adn we are going to keep this place in Alabama as well since the houseing market is so bad for sellers now, so both places are HOT in the summer, and...

I picked this 'un up for the top bid of $411 on GL. I have since put the axles of a '78 K20 underneath it when i put the 8" superlift in. Also resealed the bottom end and rear main, and replace the oil pump and harmonic balancer. I'm also going to build a 700R4 for it to get better highway speed...

I just got one of my sales cancelled after 60 days, adn they refunded my money in about 36 hours! Also, two other EUCs that had been to BC for about a months cleared the next day. It seems you will be notified when you least expect it. I had a couple clear in 3 days, but lately, they seem to...

Haven't you heard of the new plan to take over our country with silent, but deadly, oh, wait, that was something else... Nevermind.

I keep a bottle of Rosanol lighter fluid for the same purpose as the aforementioned WD-40. A diesel mechanic friend of mine told me it is wetter than ether, so it is easier on the engine. It doesn't take much - just a squirt, crank it, let it rund and die, then another squirt and crank, and...

I managed to find the auction in my bid history: 4940 - Miscellaneous Maintenance Equipment at Government Liquidation I was mainly after the limited slip front axle and the t-case, but when I picked it up, was pleasantly surprised with all the stuff in the back. The only thing missing was a...

ROFL... sorry guys, but this thread reminds me of the lightbulb joke. How many members does it take to change a brake drum??? I just found this thread a few seconds ago, and had found the window in the drum last year when I had a similar problem stripping down an M1009. It took me about a half...

My final bid on the last M1031 was $987.00 before the fees and all. Also acquired 200' of the heavy extension chords they use in the field, a 4000# block & tackle, amd a few other odds and ends that were in the back. While I did not get this particular truck running and it had some interior...

Opening bid of $4k ?!?!? I can buy 2 for 1 on GL... I think I paid about a grand for my last M1031, and it has the NP205 t-case.

You need a bumper sticker I used to have on a really tall truck. It said "If you can't stop, smile as you go under." You might even add "Smile, wait for flash" with the fuel cans back there. 'Course most people know you can put a cigarette out in diesel, but the thought is still there... come to...

Good luck with that. I tried that many moons ago on a crack at the rear of a TH400 case. It held for about a month or two, then separated. I eventually took the trans out and rebuilt it, and while it was apart, took it to a welding shop and had them TIG it. They also reinforced the back area...
