I am very certain that I see an air shift lever underneath the dash, right of the heater controls. There is a bunch of non-turbo multifuel owners on this site and they do have good things to say about their rigs (noticeably lower noise level in cab being one).

I pass on that one. I like mine the way she is :-) Thanks for the suggestions; that gave me some ideas.

My wife likes riding in my truck and, to keep it that way, I need to make getting in and out a bit easier for her. She has a hard time with the height from the stock step to the door sill and ends up using the top of the battery door as a step, which makes me cringe. Any ideas on a step setup...

Put the old and new cable side by side and compare the diameters before putting the new one in. There appear to be New Star replacements that are either mis-labelled or simply the wrong part. If your replacement cable is not the same diameter but thinner, do NOT put it in; you will find that it...

A minute and a half of searching yielded the product data sheet: http://www.greatlakesoil.com/products/1936-data.pdf The oil carries the MT-1 designator, so, I would venture out and say it is ok for yellow metals. It was also discussed on SS before...

Too bad the government stubbornness proved insurmountable. I hope that you have fun with the M816!

Ok, so you have the plastic air wiper motors that many people hate and yours does not work - like mine. If you absolutely need to spend $80-100 on a new one, do not read any further. If you want to see if you can fix yours, here is what you need: philips screw driver flat screw driver...

The brake hoses you have are already the "upgraded" ones. It pertains to their length; the original design called for a short hose (about half the length of the ones you have) and it turned out to be a flawed design. When you have brake hoses that loop nice and wide, like yours, and are held by...

When you say you adjust the bottom excentric to the book number, you mean that you set the bottom part of the brake lining at the TM's 0.1 gap and then adjust the top until you hear the shoe rub?

New brake shoe adjustment difficulty - yes, I read the TM Disclaimer: I have, use and read the pertinent TM and also searched. I replaced, a little while ago, full brakes, all around; cylinders, flex lines, shoes, hardware. I adjusted the brakes exactly as per TM - at least, tried to - and...

Nice truck (and cute dog). Mind telling us more about the winch and the surround?

Digging up an old thread here. I have the plastic air pressure wiper motors. I did the recommended PM with air tool oil, which led to one wiper motor freezing solid. I mean solid, where I am afraid to apply any more force to the manual lever so not to break it. It won't budge. I think that...

I ordered and received zippered axle boots from ODIron. They are made by NewStar (Asia). However, ODIron warranties them for a year. I closely inspected the boots on the truck (army installed) and decided to keep the new ones as spares, at this time, after reading the thread. I, too, would...

You made me laugh out loud - so true, at our station, too. I have no manhood issues and drive a turbo diesel VW Beetle. The guys at the station laughed about it (I am 6'3''). They accuse me of having a split personality (Beetle/Deuce) but I get 50 mpg in the Bug and have money left for ice cream...

There are many, many options. The stock rims take up to 12.00-20 tires (per design). People put all sorts of tires on the stock rims, even those that really should not work (e.g. huge 365 radials). Aftermarket manufactured rims are also available. You decide. Singling out the rears can be done...

Both work. My preference is a can of ether spray I handle myself. That way, I am in full control of dosing; I have seen what ether can do to a Diesel when applied liberally. The ether setup is "simpler" than the flame heater, but it is harder for a moronic soldier A to cause damage with the...

[/LEFT] Your employee is wrong for the Rockwell axle of yesteryear; it needs the oily and greasy bits separated by functional seals. He is right for the commonly used modern planetary gear drive axles.

1) I would not...obscures view of stop lights and bangs around. 2) Yes; secured by the chains 3) if you mean whether you can use the troop ladder when the tail gate is in the horizontal position - yes

Good point; the "civy" hitch is actually a unit modification and these guys took the thickest steel they could find and welded it all together. You could probably lift the truck up on this hitch and shake it! It does decrease the departure angle. Deuces up here are not plentiful, so I am not...

Long weekend and getting fed up with having to back up with my 4-ways on. The ideal time to install backup lights. I used 2 spare "lollipop light" brackets and mounted them upside down behind the rear composite lights. For lights I used small fog lights from a tractor supply place and sprayed...
