I buy it at my local paint shop. Not cheap but extremely effective.

TNJ is apparently sold out of these and MV Dataplates is not a viable business. Any third choices? Also, has anyone out there ever seen the AM General warranty sticker available reproduction? Finally, where do you buy the rivets that hold the dropside dataplates in place?

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?11295-All-this-for-a-freeze-plug-! Any machine shop can do the heads. There is a difference between "shaving" and "resurfacing". Shaving is taking material off the entire bottom face of the head, in order to reduce to capacity of the combustion...

The Lube Order for the M44 series is confusing to me; it seems to call for both OE/HDO with is effectively engine oil and CW lube, which is chain and wire lube, which I assume in the civilian world would cross over to chainsaw oil................ (guessing). I unspool the rope, inspect it...

It's unrelated, all those stupid F134 pulleys are out of whack and no one repros them and with them all being bent, I suspect a great many sling the nut off.

So, on the F134, the crank spins the cam via the fiber gear NDT mentioned. The cam then spins the oil pump, which engages with a gear halfway down the cam. The distributor shaft fits into a recess in the top of the oil pump drive shaft. The good thing about this is that there is no timing...

We have a tentative date, let me firm it up with D-town this week and I'll post it here and on the rally Facebook page.

So I've got this truck I'm getting ready to sell. And I needed to rewind the cable since someone in a motor pool wound it backwards. And I needed to inspect the cable for kinks and damage and service it (lubricate it). It takes a lot of room to unspool 200'! So I parked it in the front yard...

The advice above is all good and I should add something. If the holes in the shaft and yoke are elongated ("wollered out"), it will consistently break sheer pins. The pin will constantly be shocked by the freeplay and break. Replacing the yoke isn't hard (and I guess you could drill a fresh...

This is my system and it works well. The drums gets cleaned out with paper towels, then put in the parts washer. Spindles, backing plate, shoes, etc. get soaked with a degreasing solution and pressure washed. Before: After: Drum and individual parts cleaning: This is an issue. Buy...

I removed 8K lbs. of weight from it.

So is your truck still 24V? Is the oil pressure gauge the stock one? Because if an aftermarket sending unit would work with the factory gauge, that would be fantastic, since the Newstar sending units are beyond worthless.

IMHO, CARC is the best bet. I believe it flakes because all these trucks have abysmal paint preparation. I have had several trucks that the military sandblasted and then didn't put any primer on! They shot the CARC directly onto bare metal. And all the other trucks I've had were maybe washed...

You can go look at the members map and see who is along your route. Some of those members participate in member assistance (like me). I'm in Athens, Ga. I have a towbar and sometimes can make things work.

I've done a ton of these, let me offer a few points. 1. You might as well take the entire assembly apart so you can clean it. I have gotten so many of these where one of the shoes was seized on the bellcrank because it had corrosion on it. Take it apart and clean it. Once the bellcrank...

Correct on all points. Invest in a ratcheting stubby wrench like this:

I'll have to go upstairs and correct those posts because I think you're right on both counts. EDIT: posts above corrected. On the rope spooling, I guess I got mixed up looking at it, thinking which way the rope would exit the drum to engage the lower rollers. Looking at it some more, I guess...

Wait............. you mean they're all not this clean? If the shaft is moving back and forth in the case, then something inside isn't kosher. The entire main shaft would be moving back and forth. So there's a bearing, shim, something that isn't keeping the shaft in place. The transfer is...

Oh man, I didn't mean it that way. If you sell something, nobody can blame you for not posting up how the project finished! As I was doing this job, I repeatedly thought of this thread and thought "Hasson probably set the truck on fire and that's why he never finished that thread".

No. That's my plan; I'm going to offer the kit both ways. With and without. Reason I'm working on finding a master is that the correct ones are hard to find and expensive. I am going to find a better solution.
