maverick, there may be a slight off set difference between your old pulley and the new one. You might look at that and have the pulleys changed. Also if you have the pump off try to hose out any junk that you can while it is opened up. Radiator too! Ahab, if you tell them you have a WW2...

Here is a tip for parts, the jeep parts were fairly interchangeable for a number of years, so when you go to the parts store, tell them you have a 72 jeep with 4 cylinder. They will have that in their book. The 24v parts you will still most likely need to go to a specialty dealer. When you...

If you could, post a picture of the towbar attached to them too.

You have to love those Prius and Lexus drivers that are in such a hurry, they have to cut you off (while you are driving the M923) in Seattle traffic. It is amazing how little sense they have of how much Prius a 923 could eat in one or two bites.

Bragger. :) I found a new trick for our big trucks and taillight lenses. Automotive paint scratch remover. A little spot of that on an old sweatshirt and start polishing away. It took off the paint over spray and the accumulated haze from the outside of the lens. Just takes a few minutes...

Fuel isn't that inexpensive yet. It is still around 90 miles each way from my house too.

How about the 14th or 21st? Next weekend and the one after, think I am booked. Sundays are a no go for me too.

This very topic came up last week at the WA DOT Traffic Control Oversight Committee meeting. What do we expect from first responders, even civilians if they come on an accident scene, or if they are doing traffic control under a non construction circumstance. We are considering putting...

Unfortunately I am out for that weekend. Drat! But we should probably do hamburgers sometime between now and then. Scott are you still working the Saturdays?

You could also add a flaggers stop slow paddle to your safety kit. They make roll up models that stow well. Minimum size is by the MUTCD is 18 inches across. It has to have stop on one side and slow on the other. It would be nice if you took a Flagger class somewhere so that you knew the...

Here are a few ideas for some of the mentioned remedies. First thing that struck me was the advice on the Biker and helmet. If the person is responsive, leave the helmet, if the helmet strap is causing a restriction of the airway, you may need to at least loosen that. This is a case by case...

Took some automotive scratch polish and polished up the taillight lenses. They had overspray and were generally dull in appearance. Soft cloth and within a few minutes had the paint off and had a nice polish on the lense. They are not new, but they started out a 3 and are now a 7 to 8. Make...

Mikey, if you don't subscribe, either or both Military Vehicles magazine or MVPA magazine, Supply line are excellent publications for running down parts on most vehicles. We can PM for names of a couple of vendors that I have dealt with. If you are just missing the windshield gasket that is a...

Since you destructive tested the old unit, you could probably paint your new box semi-gloss black and cut out the old nomenclature tag and afix it to the new case. Nice work and thank you for the write up.

That is a nice looking M38A1. We should all be so lucky to get one that looks like that but needs a little work. Sounds like you need to get it started, take it for a 10 or 20 mile run. Get the old gas out and some new in. You might dump a can of carb cleaner in if it has been sitting...

That would be a great idea, but the state dept. of licensing is involved so logic is not a priority here. The lady at the licensing station knows how to fix it, but unless it comes from the powers that be, it is a no go. On a side note spent last Sunday afternoon working on the M1102 trying to...

If anything the steering gear may have been moved outboard a hair to miss the exhaust manifold. But it looks pretty stock. I was looking at mine in the dark with the fender on and it looks pretty close to that. If you don't know for sure what age your rig is, you should be able to find a GPW...

Beautiful work as always. But it looks like it all needs to come back out. 2 black brackets? :) What a great an imaginative job.

Looks like a WW2 to me. It appears that they mounted a passenger seat frame in the drivers position. Are you going to restore it? That Buick V6 was probably one of the best conversions for a jeep. The heavy flywheel made them idle along really well. If you cleaned it up, brought it back to...

Good point. I was thinking lighting is lighting. He told me I could be pulled over if the exterior light that lights up the truck box area is lit, going down the road. Sometimes you hit the switch and since it isn't shining on your head, you don't know it is on. This is another one of those...
