    This would not have worked for me, but thanks for the reminder of a good tool to use.

    Solutions to grease the steering U Joints and leaf spring bushings

    I have been trying for some time to get a grease gun on those U joints in the steering. It is so tight in there, I could not get to the fitting, which was a 90 degree zerk. I ended up getting some 30 degree angle grease fitting from Fastenal. Tractor Supply did not have what I needed. I wanted...

    I read somewhere that the FMTV, by the statistics, is 8 times more reliable than the older trucks. I have learned that anything maybe of rubber or plastic on an LMTV is sure to need replacing. Never worked on a deuce, but probably the same in that department. :tank:

    What did you replace your radiator hoses with?

    Might be able to do just that. I'll bet there is a few hundred dollars or more in silicone cloth covered hoses in there. Wonder about UV rays eating the exposed rubber. Could cover with that black plastic electrical wire cover the use in vehicles.

    What did you replace your radiator hoses with?
