I mentioned that before....scrapyard near me has two MLVW without beds sitting around. They have been picked at but are substantially complete. The hoarder in me would have dragged them home already but the wife suggested I would then have to live in them and they are simply not that roomy...

I think it is designed to interfere with the engine stop handle. My ACC switch effectively blocks the STOP pullout from being operated until the ACC switch is turned off. I think that stopping the engine and accidentally leaving the ACC swith in the ON position was the cause of a great many...

I have my US origin M35A2 registered in Ontario. Ontario is similar to other heavy-collector-vehicle-unfriendly states in the US in that it sees your M109A4 as a vehicle that - has never before been registered in Canada, therefore needs to be emissions tested to the current standards (no...

The light switch contains a self resetting circuit breaker. That is the clicking. You have a short somewhere. Start at the headlights...a wire chafed through and shorting to sheet metal... Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

:naner::naner::naner::naner:It WAS filters/debris! High 5 for an easy fix.

The Canadian M35A2 licence built trucks (with a series of improvements, including rear suspension, massive Allison auto box, Ross power steering, but still no dual brakes) that you can buy these days are all major projects as far as I have seen. Expect significant rust as well as missing parts...

Just from reading this, two things stand out: - the leak occurred repeatedly, despite taking steps to "do the job right" (good seal, ensuring size and fit, speedy sleeve to be sure) - the indicated loss of crankcase oil on the dipstick does not seem to match the observed volume of continuous...

I am looking forward to hearing what the problem turned out to be!

While it is possible that the issue is caused by adjustments made during the HH swap, it is also possible that the new hydraulic head now provides full fuel flow - as opposed to the defective old one. This can cause restrictions in the fuel lines to become more prominent. Filters are a good...

Look, it depends where you are at in your life. Here is another video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgX1xYNfZL0 You "can" take the outer half off with the rim mounted to the truck, replace the O-ring, replace the outer half and reseat the bead. Imagine the wheel in the video remaining...

A resistor converts electrical energy into heat. That is how they work. The electricity not convereted into heat ("the rest") gets to run the fan motor and it is enough to turn it at low speed. For high speed, the fan motor requires all the electrical energy, so the resistor is not being used. I...

Queen Lola is tucked away in winter quarters, between an Aistream trailer and a PrincessCraft for company. Battery disconnect switch, so batteries will be fine in Spring. I miss her already! And, as luck will have it, it is snowing heavily tonight for the first time. Winter is here!

You are the eternal optimist! Doing the front seals is rewarding. I have very good experience with the slightly oversized boots from rockwelloffroad.com as well as their modified inner front axle seals with the "sock tube" type of seal that seals better than the lip seal. Not affiliated, no...

FWIW, my Deuce spent its life in the salt-free southern US and I am not going to introduce it to stone salt and calcium chloride liquid that are used around here for snow and ice removal. That sh*t eats your car alive. Mine goes into heated storage next week.....costs money, yes, but so does...

If I understand correctly, you would cut the bus frame behind the transmission mount, remove the corresponding length of Deuce frame at the front end and mate this bus front frame piece to the deuce rear frame piece. You could leave the rear frame two feet longer to give you room for a...

The fuel gauge is a simple set up. I would start by checking and improving the ground. The gauge grounds via the gauge bracket which in turn grounds via the four panel screws. The power feed into the gauge should be firmly attached and not have any damaged insulation where it rubs against the...
