It’s been many years, but I believe that I removed the fender and exhaust as well as air filter and some other parts to be able to access it for removal & cleaning….I think I broke it loose from brass elbow with an open-end wrench of some sort (I have several different lengths for each size, a...

How old are your batteries, and what condition are they in? You may show some power at the dash, but your batteries may be low enough to not be able to retract the FSOV (Fuel Shut Off Valve) on driver’s side of engine. Aged batteries can cause the stock alternator to fry itself trying to keep...

Plus heat & pressure together usually result in condensation. Make sure that the air compressor output hose goes to your wet tank first, then off to your air dryer…..could be that your air dryer is so in need of rebuilding that excess moisture is carried in the air storage system. I’ve gotten...

rofl And plenty available at most truck wrecking yards nationwide….

When does the air-ride rear suspension go in?

At KSL.com go to the Classifieds section, it’s pretty good.

That’s a standard Budd pattern for wheels, how about some steel 24.5” wheels and 11R24.5 tires? Might even find some gently-used tires nearby since it’s only used on your property. Or 11R22.5 on rears and a wide-based 22.5” tire/wheel on the front, like a 365 or 385? Replacements are widely...

The brake hoses would be worth replacing as well, since you’ve put this much time, effort, and money into getting this right. Several years ago I went to a local (to Las Vegas) Parker Hydraulics shop and they made me some reinforced braided stainless steel brake lines that had an immediate...

When I had this happen, it was the relief port in the master cylinder; it was slightly plugged and caused the brakes to drag. I used a Tip Cleaner kit for cutting torches to clear it when I rebuilt it, which fixed my problem. Hope yours is as simple of a fix.

Awesome! I was a USMC tanker on M60A1 RISE-Passive, so I find these experiences with M48A5s very informative! Thanks for posting/sharing

Greg, this is what you provided me with about 5 years ago (has it been that long already?!?) when we were talking about having the long-style AirPaks rebuilt: ”The person you want to talk with is "Tim Henderson" at Precision Engineering Rebuilders. The phone number is 1-800-325-2690 . It might...

So where are all the “kits” to replace internal combustion engines (ICE)? Ford announced a battery conversion kit for a late 60s F-100 pickup to completely replace its existing ICE, but I haven’t really seen anything else viable that would convert existing ICE vehicles with...

Interesting! How’s the empty ride with the Hendrickson suspension as compared to the original? You should realize a noticeable MPG increase…

Yes sir, you NAILED IT! That’s why I didn’t even get into the waste of money wind power really is; not one wind farm has turned a profit WITHOUT HEAVY TAX SUBSIDIES/BREAKS! Without taxpayer assistance, wind power offers NO return on investment. One of my neighbors has Kestrel wind turbine to...

So I don’t know how the current world population could be immediately transitioned off of petroleum, coal, and/or nuclear power in a short amount of time that is currently envisioned…it’s just not feasible unless totalitarian force is used and/or a mass reduction in the world’s population is...

Speaking of solar panels, I get questions from folks all the time about them…it’s amazing how little most people really know about so-called “renewable energy,” and they are extremely confused when I tell them how petroleum oil is the one TRUE renewable energy source we are already harnessing...

To prevent WVO from gelling up when it cools off, you most likely have to have it plumbed in parallel to your existing fuel system; start on diesel until warm, switch to WVO, then when done running switch back to diesel and let it run an additional 10-15 minutes or so until purged. The WVO...

M48A5! Thought most of those went to National Guard units….
