    Down the Rabbit Hole! My Chronicles of Buying a Surplus M1152A1. One Place For All Who Want to Know.

    It amazes me some of the "repairs" I have found. One of the rear half shats only has 3 bolts in them and has a worm style hose clamp on the boot. It looks like it has been that way for a very long time. Also there is only one lock washer on one of the 3 bolts. Looks like another order to...

    If this is true it sounds very childish if we have a disagreement and he took is ball home. I am sad for this person. There are a lot of people here willing to help. Unless the GOBC puts a stop to it... For the people who have help me out thanks! Now it is time to go back under the truck...

    Installed the CDR today. Found that the intake pipe where the CDR hose connects had some oil in. I sure hope this isn't a bad sign. Pressure washed the truck today... WOW the amount of dust and sand on this truck is amazon. Looks like a beach on my driveway. There is a hose dangling under...

    I have tracked down 2 leaks that I want to see if I can fix. The is stuff in the way thought. First is the A/C duct/hose (not sure what to call it) that supplies air to the driver's knee vent. I believe the diesel leak is on the hose/clamp/line the comes from the fuel filter. I would like to...

    Thanks! I believe I did... I have going over it and looking for issues. I could have done much worse. Its mostly there and only missing a few odds and ends. I believe the items missing may have been lazy mechanic not putting back all items. I looked at the tires closer and only one is 14 years...
