    What is the Correct Part number for Cab Mount air bags?

    I’ve been looking for them for months and haven’t found any in stock anywhere. If I remember correctly, someone had mentioned a few months back that there was someone on Facebook who was selling them, but I just don’t do social media. Not sure if that is still viable, but if you do social media...

    M109 rotted floor

    Look into the marine, West System Epoxy, to coat you plywood before putting it in. Coat both sides and all edges and it will seal the wood! I used it on my 34 foot wooden cabin cruiser and other wood project and it worked great…a little expensive but it will protect your wood products.

    Lmtv oil pan r&r

    Well, I was able to get the trans cooler bracket off after about 30 minutes of working on it. Actually the drivers side bolts were easier to break loose and the passenger side bolts were really torqued on. Finally broke them loose with a breaker bar and a cheater pipe on the end of the breaker...

    Lmtv oil pan r&r

    Not really leaking. No leaks at the oil cooler. Dropping pan for several reasons. One, the truck sat for a long time and the injectors froze up and rust developed on the rocker arms and most likely inside the complete engine. Two, drained the oil for a second time, with only 1.5 hours of run...

    That is crazy awesome! If you could make it into a remote control truck that would take the awesomeness over the top.

    Lmtv oil pan r&r

    Yeah I know what you mean about writing things up. The older I get the more I have to document what I do and that’s why I take a boat load of photographs when doing something. The top of the bracket is slotted, that’s GREAT, you can’t see that while the bracket is in place. Thank goodness I...

    Lmtv oil pan r&r

    I bookmarked your post just in case I needed to drop the pan on my engine in the future, and now I do. Your post is the only one I could find that addresses the pan removal on a 3126 Cat engine. I've seen several post and videos about the 3116 engine but there is enough of a difference between...

    FMTV Transmission Replacement

    I have purchased a lot of items from beltfed in the past year or so. I have always, except for one time, got exactly what I ordered. The exception was I received a NOS stock item and when it arrived is was damaged. I contacted him and sent pictures and he made it right without any issues. I...

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    I have the newer model as it has the studs with the nuts. I tried to look for a diagram of the fan clutch online but I could not find one that would help with nomenclature and describing my findings. When I checked the fan, like I said it has studs with nuts. The part of the clutch where the air...

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    Well, @CallMeColt I believe you might be correct. It appears that the fan clutch is frozen. I removed the airline from the solenoid and switched on the fan switch and it was sending air to the fan clutch however the fan still will not move. Also I can hear air leaking from the area of the fan...

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    Well, got back to the fan issue again. First I took the air lines off to check and make sure that the lines were not clogged or pinched, they were not. Fired up the engine and built up the air until the air dryer purged twice. Turned off the engine then turned on the power switch on and I still...

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    Yeah, I've had a lot of practice with checking lots of things, that weren't the cause, when I had a crank but no start engine issue. Checked everything it said to in the TM's and from SS members and from Youtube video. It turned out the injectors were frozen due to, we believe, sitting for long...

Mainly I wanted one to honor our veterans, and secondly was considering to make it into an RV at some point but keep...
