Hello all,
Just finished replacing all the glow plugs and it was a true PITA. Broken tips, No room to work. After all this I tested the box. Light came on for approx 7 sec went out Heard a relay and I still had 24v going to the plugs. I had a meter hooked up to a glow plug. I have a Nartron...
Dot 5.1 is pricey and made for high performance brake applications. I use it in a car of mine with AP-Racing 4pot calipers. I would recommend DOT 4 for most uses and as already stated DOT 5 is great stuff but can settle water to the lowest point and rust out lines and is $$$. If you do change...
If you use never seize (I always do on my HMMWV) and if you are not in a marine salt environment it can be acceptable. I just hate rusted fasteners. Steel screws have problems also. A poly or rubber washer to insulate will help.. You do what you can.

That spare tire carrier I believe comes from the M37 and are impossible to find. What a lot of people do is switch the light bulbs to Leds that will run from 10v to 30v. Brighter lights and the ability to hook up the trailer to 12v or 24v with no concern. A popular auction site has 12 pin...
Very impressive. This 3D printing is getting better and better. On another note the proper word for a can of carbonated soft drinks is "Soda" or more properly "Tonic" and certainly not "Pop" Lol
You need to look at the 3D adapters to mount an H1 style rear view mirrors on the upper hinges of...
