    Recovery M818 from Camp Dodge

    Just ordered a wheel cylinder. Figure I will replace the existing one with new, and then rebuild the old one for a spare. Has anyone run across a good thread that suggests what parts, fluids, etc. to carry or have on hand as spares? I've run across a few, but nothing I would call...

    Recovery M818 from Camp Dodge

    Picked it up today Picked it up today. I had gone out last week and rebuilt the master cylinder, but today when we got to move it, the left front wheel cyclinder locked up. Bled it free, but figured it was better to tow it the 8 miles home than to try to cap it off or do something else...

    My bad - it is really the power steering pump and reservoir. I guess its a good thing that it was not going down when I bled the brakes.

    Got the master cylinder back under the truck and bled the brakes. That seemed to work. One question for anyone who knows, bleeding the brakes pulled brake fluid out of the reservoir on the top of the master cylinder, but did not pull much out of the reservoir on the compressor. Is that...

    Recovery M818 from Camp Dodge

    Rebuilt the master cylinder. The old internals seemed to be missing a part or two. Will go out later this evening to put it on and bleed the brakes. Keep your fingers crossed. Also realized that with both fuel tanks full, that's close to $400 worth of fuel. I llike that.

    Good idea, I was trying to think of some way to add and remove weight with minimal work. I like the Home Depot concrete idea!!

    Recovery M818 from Camp Dodge

    Hi Stan, been out of town this week. EUC submitted, just waiting for it to clear. I ordered a master cylinder rebuild kit, and will go out this weekend (if the parking area is unlocked) and work on the brakes. Hoping I can still drive it home, otherwise will be going really slow with the...

    Recovery M818 from Camp Dodge

    Tried to bleed the brakes -- no luck. Heard a gurgling sound, and discovered that the fromt brake lines had been disconnected and the line heading to the master cylider plugged. Even with the line plugged, the pedal went to the floor, and it would not draw from the reservoir. Looks like I...
