    (Yet Another) Brake Thread

    You are probably spot on... when I got this truck it had amazing brakes so in all the years I've never really had to adjust them. I did try the TM method but I may readjust using the .015 method. I did not touch the master cylinder since it had no issues... I'm gunna check it tomorrow when I...

    (Yet Another) Brake Thread

    So, last summer I was driving along in my M35A2 and my airpack locked up, causing me to drag my brakes for around 5 miles until I had a place to pull over. I drained the tanks and the brakes released... called a buddy and we slowly got the truck home. I decided it would be a good time to...

    Driver Side Axle Boot

    I suppose I could stretch the boot over it, however on the Passenger Side it was easier to get the installed on the Axle and then add the knuckle. I am also taking the opportunity to remove the knuckles and inspect the bushings and clean everything up. I got one of the cones out and have been...

    Wheel Bearings - Preload Question

    All, Thank you so much for the assistance. I have 3 three hubs by Hand/Feel... and have no play with the tires installed, and I did the last rear with the 50 ft. Lbs. method... they all had the same feeling. For the front, I'm thinking either the 50 ft. Lbs. method or RustyStud's method. If...

    Wheel Bearings - Preload Question

    Truck: 1968 M35A2 - 16 Spline C240 Rockwell Axles. So the TM says to tighten the locknut until the wheel binds then back off. Well I have tightened it until it doesn’t tighten anymore and the wheel doesn’t bind. I set them by feel... no play in the hub afterwards. Tightened the outer locknut to...

    Turbo to Exhaust Manifold Nuts + Bolts

    Much appreciate the words of wisdom you speak! In the end, I have bought a new "center" section for the exhaust manifold and will just replace it. I've taken everything off the passenger side of the engine, just waiting on the new parts. I actually intend to begin to put things back together...

    Turbo to Exhaust Manifold Nuts + Bolts

    I guess I posted too soon... checking here: http://www.goetzprinting.com/images/conversion_table.pdf .375" = 3/8's which would mean the nuts are 3/8's -16... Thank you! -Dave

    Turbo to Exhaust Manifold Nuts + Bolts

    I did! I'm not sure I see the size of the Hex Nut... I do see the TPI (-16), but not the actual size of the nut. Admittedly, I may be misunderstanding the output. -Dave

    Turbo to Exhaust Manifold Nuts + Bolts

    All- I'm hoping someone can give me the proper size for the 4 x Nuts and the 2 x Bolts. I snapped all mine when taking the turbo off and the NSN/Part Number is not quite helpful. Anyone out there have the sizes so I can grab them from the store? -Dave

    Swap the Box Seat for Springer Seat - Question

    Well, at the moment I'm coming from an old box... that was re-covered with less foam (Basically sit on metal). The springer was pretty pricey once shipping was included, I'm hoping to not have to deal with it for a while (Why I bought a NOS one)... what was the experience with yours? -Dave

    Swap the Box Seat for Springer Seat - Question

    Thanks for the information! I was able to get the bench and box out fairly easily... I'll probably replace the bolt hardware to be safe. Now, what does everyone do with the Bench Seat? It uses the box as a "left leg" and I suppose I could cut the right side of the box off and keep it as a...

    Swap the Box Seat for Springer Seat - Question

    First off- Many thanks for the assistance with my Turbo question a few weeks ago. Just got it back from the shop all nice and rebuilt. As a part of my "Winter Maintenance", I also ordered a NOS Springer Seat and I pulled out the Box (found out the bench is attached to the box.. more on that in...
