    Questions about the thermostat test holes in the radiator - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    . I believe the two openings on the back of the radiator tank is 5/16th Inverted Flair. In other words, brake line fitting... Fairly easy to screw in and test too.

    M105 tire conversion

    . A real tire man with a gallon jug with a hole drilled in the top and a duckbill hammer is REALLY AMAZING to watch work. Standing on the tire, squirt some slick-em from the gallon jug, then three or four thumps with the hammer and the tire is off the bead. Special pry bar to pop off the ring...

    MEP805B not generating

    . Welcome to the outfit! So, I guess I just can't read very well or maybe I am just not understanding what you said. Short sentences for us old guys please :) I am hearing that the power - the motor - is not functional. Right? Battle Short on. Starter just clicks? Have you verified battery...

    Finally got me a deuce!

    . Wow! Those boot shields are nice and beefy. Much nicer than the sheetmetal that comes from the factory... You may want to carefully inspect those front tires. The sidewalls look pretty cracked in that bottom picture. If you happen to be running tubes and flaps, you might be "kinda" okay...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    . It seems interesting that you are having the same "not enough housing" problems there in Germany. I can't figure out if part of that problem is war related - or if it is just growth in general. Here in Charlotte, North Carolina we are adding about 120 people per day in 2023. A quick...

    Cooking oil as coolant?

    . Here in The States, substation transformers were filled with oil that had PCB's (Polychlorinated biphenyls) in them. UNISON was a large company here that reworked thousands - maybe more - of those transformers to a new grade of oil to eliminate the carcinogenic chemical compounds. We printed...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    . Looks to me like that might have been a fun project. Too bad about the storage barn... I have been trying to negotiate one of those for myself, but it seems that a patch of dirt in this neighborhood big enough for a few hundred apartments gets to be "high dollar". Knock down whatever is...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    . Yessir, it is a lot of dough. But it looks to be pretty good quality material.

    MAN KAT US owners?

    . Might be that @simp5782 could make suggestions about the transmission. He has done quite a few builds that replace parts to improve performance... Neat looking truck. Almost a one of a kind sort of thing. .

    MV of the Month August 2023

    . Well, the good part of that space it that you will have a dry spot, hopefully above freezing - that you can work in when the snow is about half way up the sides of the building. Yep it will beat laying around outside in the cold for sure! .

    Electrical Gremlins. HMMWV M1097R1.

    . Just remember, with the HMMWV the body of the truck is NOT part of the ground circuit for lights. All those light wires have a ground wire - like most other MV's - where the ground circuit is completed with a wire to the body. .

    Yellow Freight Shuts Down

    Dug up some more dirt... At the time the PPP loans were made, the Department of Justice was suing Yellow for alleged fraud related to overcharges to the Defense Department for freight carrier services. The company in March 2022 agreed to pay about $6.85 million to settle that lawsuit. That...

    Yellow Freight Shuts Down

    . I hate to say it, but it is/was pretty obvious that YELLOW wasn't doing a very good job managing their money for the last 20 years. Buy another company - then get another mortgage. USF Holland is a great example. USF was next door to the YRC terminal here on Statesville Road. Did they shut...

    Yellow Freight Shuts Down

    . The Teamsters Central States Pension Fund (Established in 1955) has paid about 80 Billion dollars in benefits to roughly 600,000 beneficiarys. Employer Contributions are negotiated as part of the Teamster collective bargaining agreements (Union Contract). In other words, the pension is...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    . Well, I waited on somebody with more experience to answer up. Didn't happen, so here goes: If it was my truck and my money paying to replace everything that might be ruined if we did it wrong, removing driveshafts solve that problem. Yea, it's a pain if you are laying in the mud. If you...

    Arrived...........the M1009/BIAB1 from german M1008

    . Nice to see that you were NOT dribbling on the pavement! Hate to say it, but that little piece of cardboard isn't big enough for some vehicles...
