Not really. The fuel booster has a shaft thats about 2.5-3 inches. It will hit the steering box when trying to remove. Your best bet is to pull the IP and then remove the booster. It sucks, I know. I will see if I can dig up some pics I took a while back.
I have had my M62 for a while now. Its been years since I blew a hose and had to have an adapter made up, but what we did was take the thread from the original hose and braised it onto a standard hose end for the adapter. If you wanted to get rid of the goofy threads, you could un-bolt all the...
I had my rod ends go bad while off-road at Haspin one year, it was a PITA to get them lined up and back on. When I pressed out and pressed in the new ones, I drilled and tapped the ends so I could bolt on a quarter-inch plate. leave some space so it can flax around, I learned that by snapping a...
Check your axle vents.
You will build pressure and push fluids out every time you drive if the vents aren't working. I go off-road a lot, so I replaced my vents with hose barbs and tied them all together with tubing ending in the cab. That way I know when water might get into the system.
The Austin Western beds have a goofy "ermetto" (I think) thread fitting. All of the hoses I've had burst on my truck, I've had braised onto standard hose fittings so I can use cheap hoses instead of $$$$$ hoses!
A ghetto cure for the 3-4 gap is to start in low range Tcase, run through the gears(1 through 5), shift to high range and use 4 then 5. Its not the greatest, but works ok.
I have had to pull my batts out and charge them individually. I don't think the charger built-in is very good. Once things are in place and working, make sure they don't get drained!
I have a battery equalizer if you want to run 12v stuff. It allows you to run 12v off one battery and not kill your system(PM if interested).

Be careful with this, please.
Once there is a load on it, you usually need to press in the clutch to stop the pull!
Many members here have ruined their radiator cause they drug the winch hook around the drum.
I have run my deuce with an LMTV cargo cover. One time I ran with the sides and rear in the raised position and the top of the cover separated at the seams. I will not make that mistake again!
I have seen and driven that A3 in Indiana, its a good truck! I'd be torn between the A2 and A3 only cause the A3 has no overdrive.
I love shifting gears!
I love multifuel!
The cat has more power!
Air assist steering is awesome!
Tough call, but if I were to choose between them, I'd go for the...
