Makincold's MWO Complete Problem solved! Thanks to Makincold's MWO. Took about ten minutes to core out the access hole and now I have a clean shot at the adjustment screw. Just pop a large flat tip screwdriver in there and adjust away. I did remove the screw and added some spacers (washers and...

Great lookin' camo paint job [thumbzup] Reminds of the old Nat'l Guard truck you'd see convoying on the weekends.

My usual Memorial Day mission has fallen through for this year. Do any of our Los Angeles area brothers know of any events/ceremonies desiring an MV appearance on Monday the 26th. If not I will most likely end up at Los Angeles National Cemetary.

Gulfway does not have a "garage" clause last I checked.

Shamelessly, I nominate the Hannibal 8, again :oops::twisted:.

First download the most current DMV commercial handbook. Study it very well. Also, bone up on standard driver's laws. If you don't have it already, get trained up to drive a large and heavy truck. To get the Class B permit (this portion is all written) good for one year you will have to take at...

Here's an overall pic and a left side pic of my roller. Between the close tolerances of the roller and the its side brackets and the anti-pinch/rub plate there is no chance of the wire rope getting caught up there. The "J" type anti-pinch/rub plates were a later addition and an improvement...

Well, in studying photos of other similar winches, that spacer seems to somewhat unique to my winch. It is only on the right side and is 1/2" thick. You'll notice it is also beveled on one side just like the roller itself in order to clear the vertical rollers. There is hardly any gaps on either...

I took a pic of the same area on my winch for your reference. Your winch may have been serviced or rebuilt prior to your ownership and the tech/mechanic neglected to install the spacer. It seems strange the the two cases would separate and cause this. Is there a spacer like this on the other...

Thanks. I can just reach it with the tailgate open.

Yeah, it might have been designed for that. As a matter of fact, the hood I have on the truck now had a third hold-down on the passenger side about 15" forward of the standard one which is about where the hood would land when open of if there was a gun ring mounted. I took it off, but that might...

Foldaway cup holders. An improved raised hood kit (NSN: 2510-01-281-1273, PN#12356798). They are kind of hard to find and can be a little pricey. Mounts to windshield top right. It folds and clips to windshield frame in the stowed position. It is also removed completely by simply detaching...

I finished modifying the boarding ladder I got a while back. I cut the bottom step off and about half of the tubing to the second step. I bolted up a couple of Curt 10K lbs. tow hooks to the ladder so it can hang on the open tailgate lip. In order to haul it around, I mounted up two aluminum 1...

Thanks again. I have a whole grip of hole saws and I have that exact size and mfg'er in the tool box. Between the leaking lube and built up paint, I can see why yours had the issue. The learning curve is always present with these trucks.

Cool. Then the gasket/shim in the TM falls within the correct tolerances.

The cover and PTO gaskets come back as the same p/n. They are item nos. 29 and 67 respectively on those -34P2 pages I listed. I got two of them in a transmission gasket kit I got on the Bay a while back. I checked and rechecked the p/n's before installation. They're pretty thick heavy duty...

From the -34P2, pgs. 447-1 to 447-3: p/n 8327322. TM also refers to them as gaskets and only one is called for per the -34, pgs. 16-230 to 16-231. Parttaget.com listing puts the thickness between 0.084 inches minimum and 0.104 inches maximum. Just shy of 1/8" thick. I put one on my truck and I...

Makincold...thanks for the response. The hole in the mounting brackets is a good idea. I think I'll do the same. This is a bad design feature on the original equipment. The hole provision should have been there from the start from the manufacturer. Put an adjusting screw up against a solid steel...

Disclaimer: I have searched the following question extensively to no avail. The drum on my 20K lbs. front winch spools out to quickly resulting in some bird nesting of the wire rope. Easy fix and after consulting the -20 TM, I firmly understand how to adjust the tension of the drag brake. Just...

I had the PTO to winch drive shaft retubed (.120 wall) 6 1/2" longer this past week. The drive shaft with my winch kit must have been from an M39-series truck. Found a great hole-in-the-wall drive shaft specialist who did the work fro $240. That's beats the heck out of buying a new one for $350...
