So I finally decided to dig into this leaking heater core but stopped the work when I realized I am probably going to destroy the soft line in the engine compartment that connects to the heater core. Since I can't get it to come off non-destructively I am going to get some heater hose before...
What about bolts and flange gaskets, do they usually survive or should I grab replacements as well? I'm actually tempted to have an exhaust shop do it in stainless, I can't believe how quickly it rusted away.
Thanks
So yet another victim of NJ winter salt. My exhaust crossover is rusted through. What parts usually need replacing along with it(bolts, gaskets, etc)? Also what's the consensus on the cheapest replacement crossover pipe that's not complete garbage?
Thanks,
Michael
I wish I would have gotten the flexible ones, I already had the hard ones on hand so they went in. I will get the flexible for the fronts though.
I don't know where this thing spent it's life before I got it, but the past 3 north jersey winters have done a number on it. All the protective...
I was actually thinking an access hole would be perfect, but before I saw your response I actually got 2 of the 3 fittings on the tee to come off. The last one I will remove when I get the line out. Right now in fighting with the caliper to get it out of the truck.
Who the hell designed this...
Hey guys, what's the easiest way to replace the rear caliper lines? It looks like getting to the T split is a little difficult, but that was only from a quick look.
Thanks for any helpful info
I'm beating myself up over not buying it now lol. But I'm glad someone else here was able to grab it. One day after my wedding and a bunch of other expenses are taken care of I will finally get my hands on one of these.
A little over a year ago I bought a 4 door conversion straight from Breton. Now 3 of the 4 tie downs for the rear flap had the spring fail and can't be tightened. Has anyone else experienced this? Seems pretty bad quality for military use parts.
Michael
Yeah, I figured as much. They are cheap enough, I just thought it might be a quick fix to swap out some bearings and whatever else.
So I noticed that there's a newer style pump that doesn't have the reservoir on it. Is there any reason to switch to that one?
Mike
Eliminating issues and I think my power steering pump is on its way out. Are there any rebuild kits or a list of parts to rebuild this thing?
Thanks,
Mike
All great ideas I will try, but what about killing and cleaning the existing mildew? Will a solution of water and bleach ruin the color of the seats? Anyone have a favorite non bleach mold and mildew killer?
Thanks,
Mike
The overly rainy weather in NJ lately has caused the inside of my truck to start smelling of mildew. Does anyone have any good tricks for dealing with mildew inside the truck? I would just spray everything down with bleach, but I don't want to bleach out the color in the seat cushions.
Mike
I ordered a replacement from Eastern. If that one ever gives out I will look into upgrading. I'm going to break this one open and see what failed.
