It's air shift front

Where can I get more info on tire scrub, axle bind, ect. Saw a post and some nasty pictures of broken axle parts on another thread that got me thinking about my truck (post #3898 from forum "what did you do to your deuce this week")....also how do you create links to posts, I have found it...

Dot 3 versus Dot 5 On the 3 vs. 5 debate, you guys touched on a curiosity of mine, I would like to hear more input. What is involved in the conversion? Do you need special seals and hoses for one fluid or the other? I did a little research when I first noticed my brake leak, only because Dot...

I knew I had a gallon in my head for some reason. I didn't realize you already answered the quantity question. Thank you. I checked almost everywhere in Keene yesterday and everyone carries the same generic brand 8oz bottles for anywhere from $12-20. So bulk is definitely the way to go. I am...

err...meant 2 quarts....been a long day, and a Monday, not doing conversions very well tonight. Yes I was thinking 1 gallon originally as a gut feeling for having plenty on hand and some extra but then second guessed myself. Thanks for the input.

sugested Dot 5 inventory Got my NAPA rebuild kit on order and lots of blocks of wood for cribbing, I plan to check all 6 brakes while I am tearing into it. Hope to start this weekend and will take photos to document. I am going to order some Dot 5 from the Iris Industries vendor referenced in...

added some info to my post 2 or 3 posts back about LH and RH thread the way I have always understood it in my automotive experience, but I notice the rules seem to be opposite for my Deuce?? what gives? p.s. "Quadjeeper" don't let the challenges beat you down. As a few others have already said...

RH and LH thread Not a historian but have a story that follows this thought process I can share. I had a 49 Pontiac Silverstreak when I was a teenager because I thought the old led sleds where cool (still do, just cant afford any toys that don't serve a purpose now) and the right side of the...

My 86 M35A2C has the exact same data plate on it with same stock # and same contract #. Have had truck for about 8 months. Bought in Springfield, Mass private sale and bought it to use on my wood lot. Joined SS to get some maintenance tips and stuff but now getting a little interested in the...

Dodge done onto Deuce Wow that was a 2 week PIA!! Finnally got the bottom of my vibration in my other work truck (95 dodge 3500) I am convinced that full time jobs just get in the way of getting things done!!! Arrgh. Haven't had time to fix breaks on Deuce or even go for a paddle with the...

Yes, yes. It is parked. No time till my Dodge p/u is done, removing air bags (suspension) and looking for a driveline vibration. Again on the deuce, I had been checking the brake fluid regularly with no discernible drop in level (4 oz over 6months didn't seem like a crisis) Now that I...

Copied this from a service manual for an antique motorcycle I used to work on. It was along time ago but I remember playing around with the points and condenser assembly quite abit, getting a good ground on parts to be grounded and getting good insulation on the parts that weren't was the...

larger pics think I figured out the zip file thingy. are these better??

If I post a pic on one thread and it is relevant to a different thread is it better to create a link to the post with the picture or repost the picture in the current thread or does it matter? How do you create a link in a new post to an existing post or thread?

Also any tips on keeping track of members who have posted useful to me stuff? I have been reading a lot of stuff about my deuce last 2 days and I am subscribed to all the threads I have started of course, but as the threads get longer and I branch out more to read stuff from other people I am...

Sometimes my fumbling around gets me in trouble but I am a learn by doing type. I think I have figured out the picture basics. I don't quite understand what the difference between an album and other pictures that have been uploaded. I have not figured out how to use any of the pics I have...

Well that was weird.. Text was supposed to be included in the 1st post.... few quirks I am still learning with this site, guess I timed out while I was messing around loading pics. oh well.

Had week off work anyway, mostly to help my mom move (done) but also to catch up on house projects (no fun, too hot) so just got back about an hour or so ago...been trying to figure out how to upload normal sized pics to this site. My test pics came out like thumbnails. Anyway decided to err...

tiny pics removed

Yes, sorry should have said it's and '86 M35A2C from the AF and yes, appreciate the safety concerns, I drive the truck more off road than on and was thinking about it more from a maintenance stand point and how likely it is for a heavy duty wheel cyl to just "blow". With that said I still have...
