    I purchased a Rhino tire carrier for my M998. The pivot pin is slightly bent. I have been searching to see if anyone has successfully straightened one, but have had no luck.

    Air-O-Matic help

    I just started trying to put the air-o-matic steering on my truck. I received it with springs and cups out of the valve and I need to know how all of this stuff goes together. I looked at the one TM 9-2320-386-24P but it does not show the assembly of the parts. I assume maybe only one spring...

    I talked to Todd at the Clermont County fair today about doing some exhibition pulls at the fair this year. I was told that I could pull Friday night July 25 after the tractors.

    Alternator took a drink of water

    Well some idiot (me) adjusted the output on my alternator and did not replace the plug. My rheostat was screwed up by the previous owner and I had to keep adjusting it. That being said I got it right and it was holding and I forgot to put it back in. I went to the Haspin rally and played in the...

    Part prices: Winch, hard top, heater

    I have been in the market for a heater, a winch, and a hard top since I bought my truck. Obviously I want the best bang for my buck but I cannot believe the prices that people are asking for these parts. I see where people buy entire trucks for what they want for a winch alone. I guess it is the...

    Axle vents

    I was changing the fluid in my rear most differential and I decided to take the jiggly cap vent out to make sure it was not clogged. I had a little oil on the inside of the rear rim but for the life of me I could not see where it came out of. Obviously the fluid is from the rear diff. When I had...

    Pattern for compressor wrench

    Is there a pattern out there for the compressor wrench? It would be cool if someone had a pattern or traced one on a 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper and scanned it in so tight wads with scrap steel could make their own. Thanks.

    Pyro gauge install

    I have caught the Deuce modification bug. I turned up the fuel after I added the turbo and took the forum's advice and added a pyro gauge first. What do you guys think? I bought a Autometer pyro gauge with probe for like $82 shipped and added a $5 gauge mount from O'Reilly auto parts. I...

    How about a sticky for Noob questions?

    As a new member to this site I have found it very useful so far. The one BIG drawback of the forum is that the search feature here apparently is set on kill. I am a member of probably 10 different forums and this one by far is the hardest to find information on. I do a search for diagnose...
