    That's some excellent information ! That's also a really great price on that master cylinder ! Did you find those adapter fittings at NAPA ?

    Good job ! Do it right the first time and there is no need for a second !

    You can never have enough reflectors and lights ! Well maybe you can, but I haven't seen it yet !

    Night college ! What kind of degree are you going for ? I should set-aside some time to get over there and see your progress.

    I've never had really good luck with rust removers in general. They always seem to leave that little bit in the corners. A good sandblasting though gets all that nasty rust out !

    I also played with using electrolysis to clean up a slave cylinder. I just use the sand blaster to clean-up the air-pac housings. Then a little honing and all is good !

    The reason most don't mention it, is that it is not used on all models. There where several different models of air-pacs in service for our deuce's brake system. I mentioned it in one of my rebuild threads for the air-pac. I just bought some 'O' rings from the big 'O' ring supplier in Kirkland...

    I would remove the pressure switch on the end of the air-pac. They are nothing but trouble. Go with the air-line pressure switch conversion that the military recommends. A simple brake air switch from any truck shop will work. Besides that, looks good !

    The "Tacoma Screw" directly across the street from the Fastenal store will probably have them. Or they can order them in really fast.

    1980 to 1986. I was the "old man" since I was at the age of cut-off, but I made it in !

    You cannot find them listed because they are not military items ! That was someones modification. I have added regular semi-truck pull drains on mine. Their cheap at about $10.00 a valve with a long pull cord.

    The last lot of tires I bought at Fort Lewis I talked with the manager. He told me "all" tire sales are "Scrap" sales and he couldn't guarantee the quality of any tires. They do "try" and put together a lot with some good tires, but they also have some "not so good tires" in each lot . After all...

    You won these tires from the Gov Liquidation sale ? Then there is no return on them. They sell them as "Scrap" and they let you know that in the description. That's why you really need to go down there and check everything out before you bid. I have gotten really burned a few times ! One time...

    Hey back at you ! I try not to shop at NAPA especially the one in Woodinville ! They rape you on price ! If I have to go to NAPA I go to the Redmond one. They sell things for almost "Half" what Woodinville sells it for. The Woodinville store is an Independent operator so they can "jack-up" the...

    Just a thought but check your transfer-case lever. It should be in the "up" position.

    Yes those boxes of parts bought and stored away for later use. It's like Christmas time when I come across some now since I've forgotten of a lot of things I've already bought !

    Zanther , looks like your a neighbor ! I'm between Woodinville and Duvall myself. Drive by Maltby all the time. Especially in spring time going out to "Flower World" .
