Thanks! I have ordered some test leads with alligator clips and will look at a Power Probe. I changed the oil today (almost) but whoever did it last didn't put crush washers on and I couldn't find them local so I'm not able to start and run until the crush washers get here. Every little...

For future reference of those that might read this thread, I cannot find the torque values for the nuts that hold the compressor in place. Before I tear the thing off and replace the gasket, I'd like to check the torque. I searched TM9-2320-209-34-1 , 2, and 3 as well as the -20. The 209-34s...

Thanks again, gentlemen! I have just about every caliber casing from .22 to .50 so I'm sure I've got something the right size.

Thanks, Todd! I'll clean a little spot close by and clip it there. I'm working by myself so it's hard to go on/off and check the gauge. On the oil pressure, I suspect you are right... Given it reads 0 when the accessory and engine are off, jumps to 20 with the accessory on but engine off...

I have two gauges that I need to test/diagnose. I have gone through the -20 but my meter battery is out and, of course, it is a cr2032. Off to Wally World. That said, the testing procedure for most electrical things asks for frame ground or engine ground. Given the multiple coats of paint...

Let me make my question more clear: Does anyone know the part number for the single cylinder compressor gasket kit? The napa one listed in the cross reference spreadsheet here is for the twin and won't work for my application since I have the single. It appears that only the bottom gasket is...

Thanks! I'll do just that...

Dredging up this thread. I'm still inspecting previous owner's/motor pool's handiwork and looking at a leak that is bathing the driver front area with a sheen of oil. As I look at it, it is very heavy around the base of the compressor so I'm assuming there is oil coming from there. The...

Everyone seems to want to make a killing on any "job" these days. I found a NOS one on ebay for $250 so I just went that route. Here's to hoping NOS is, in fact, NNB (New, Not Bent).

Very nice looking truck and 98G seems to really know his deuces so I bet you'd get a very well maintained vehicle here. I would seriously talk to him about this one.

Thanks! Success. I went to the main office and it went through without a single question. Five minutes with the clerk (and an hour of waiting) and I was out of there. It was almost 100 outside on the way home so inside the easy-bake oven cab was brutal. I have lots and lots and lots of...

Yes, I read your thread before I even purchased a truck as I wanted to know what I was up against. For the record, M35A2. I did have all the paperwork required with me but she seemed like she knew what she was doing and her boss "backed her up". I tried to reason with her but figured it best...

Again, thanks! I did find the specific statute that says they can use web resources to determine an approximate curb weight but if that number exceeds 5800 pounds a certified weight slip is required. Beyond that they are to title it like any other purchase and the registration is separate...

Thanks! I suspected as such. I'll produce a mountain more documentation and take it to another branch as the window clerk took it in the back to talk to the "manager" and though neither could find said requirement in writing, they insisted that was the case. I will get it weighed regardless...

Thanks! I'm going to pull the lines and replace them with something braided and I guess I'll just have them made locally since I can't find a pre-made set from any of the SS (or other) vendors. I don't want to replace with rubber ones. Plans always change, of course, but I plan to drive/keep...

I went to the DMV today with a North Carolina title in hand and all required paperwork -- or so I thought. I want to register it as a Former Military Vehicle given the difference in cost. 5 years is $50 and no inspections. Regular registration is about $750 in fees over 5 years. As we were...

Are there any pre-made kits to replace the rubber lines/fittings with something a bit more robust? It seems like all the vendors have the same rubber said and I'm concerned they are another chicom failure waiting to happen.

I took a couple of short 1-2 miles drives around the back roads near my home today. Hubs are definitely not hot. Yesterday, I had adjusted the driver brake shoes to about .015 and I didn't hear any rubbing when spinning the wheel but it was still heating up to 180+ on the same 1-2 mile loop...

I was busy replacing silicone boots and cleaning up/regreasing the front on both sides and I noticed the front driveshaft has a good bit of wobble to it. At some point something struck the shaft and creased it. I'm guessing either a tire came apart or something similar as there is also a gash...

Next update. I finished the passenger side. The axle seal carrier was extremely difficult to get seated all the way. I had to pound the brass-tipped rod until my arms hurt to finally get it completely seated. I test fit this side dry before I packed it so I didn't waste 4 pounds of grease...
