    Is a Dana 80 strong enough?

    You sure? Are the Axle housings square? I had an 01 F550 With a Dana 110 in the rear with square housing, and whatever the front was. If I remember was a Dana 60HD front. Was bigger than a Dana 60 for sure.

    6.2 Broken Crankshaft Revisited.

    FWIW I believe there were a concern with crankshaft failures as well as the lower block in the main cap area In the very early 6.2 production(81 1/2 to 83) They later redesigned the block and shaft and those problems went away for the most part. Lugging the engine and improper timing is the...

    Wrong Glow Plugs.

    You do need to change ends or narrow the plug spade. I carefully grind the blade narrower and use the original harness. Works fine for me. Tom

    M38/38A1 Rear seat question

    The seat frames are the same. Just went through this myself. Had to buy all new brackets and reinstall them as mine were missing. I found a seat on G503 from a member. Good luck Tom

    CUCV M1008 wont start

    Do read the link Porky supplied. And No everything under the hood is not 24V The truck is 12v The starting ,slave connection, and glow plugs operate on 24Volt. The glow plugs are 12v. They get that through the resistor supplied by 24Volts. So when all are operating the resistance is 12 Again...

    CUCV M1008 wont start

    Plugs are junk and need to be changed. If your reading 24+ volts at the plugs there all bad. When all 8 are working you will see 12V at the plug. As they burn out voltage will rise and start burning out the Remaining plugs quicker. I did the resister bypass and Dog Head mod. for the starter...

    Got the backseat brackets and bows installed. Added the canvas and have a couple of questions I can't seem to find answers for. 1 Does the side curtains fasten inside the top like the only way I could get it? Or is it sandwiched between the outer top and inner flap? 2 Also have a 42" strap...

    Finally restoring the M37

    Should be the same, unless someone changed out one or the other. I'm guessing you had a screw in the one you removed? Originally they had a small pin under the echelon. Push back the echelon and push out the pin, careful not to loose it. Tom

    M1009 wont start, different than the others, I think

    Put a 15/16 deep socket and long ratchet on the front crankshaft balancer bolt. Turn clockwise and see if you hear a clunk then rotate? If that's what it does then try and restart it. Sometime the starter bendix will stick in the flywheel. This is assuming your Batteries are up to the task. Tom

    Oil question (Mysella by Chevron)

    A quick Google search for Mysella will tell you everything you want to know. Personally I would use it in a gas engine but not a Diesel of any kind. I don't believe it has the additives for Diesel. Tom

    Warpy Washers for Parking Brake?

    As Bill said they do help with rattling shoes. Surely you can order something else you need to justify the shipping. Tom
