I don't believe the Herculiner would spray very well. For one, it is textured which means there is some type of abrasive material in the paint which would destroy the brass spraying tip rather quickly. I tried brushing and rolling the Behr and was not happy with how it came out. I wanted a...

Low Fart Cottage cheese?! Got any hard tops? Actually nevermind, I don't have $1000 for postage. But i'd kill a rabbi with a porkchop to get my hands on a set of those cool Canadian mirrors you guys use. I think Stan has some on his, with the little orange reflectors. Really neat and clean...

I couldn't be happier with my $25 electric paint gun. I got it off Amazon, they don't have any left. But it looks very similar to the Chicago Electric made ones at HB. Very simple in construction and easy to clean and take care of. I don't see how it could break, there's nothing to it. For those...

I'll be covering the air compressor mounting soon. That is the very last thing I have to fabricate with this entire project. These are the pictures I took today for M1010Plowboy

Some pics of the texture. Hides about 60% of all surface flaws such as small chips, dents, sanding marks and brush strokes. I would have killed myself trying to get that nice of a finish with the Aervoe semi gloss. I expect to use 3 more gallons to finish the truck, from top to bottom and bumper...

This amount of work required to swap ring/pinions is substantial. Unless you like wrestling 200lb hunks of iron underneath the truck where you have no place to lift stuff, I would just go with 46" Michelin tires. If you shop around you can get the XML 395's for under $200 a piece. So you figure...

I have heard of .030 over during engine rebuilds, but the rebuild tag on my 6.2 HMMWV motor states it was bored .30 over. Does the rag really mean .030 or .30? I don't think it's even possible to have any cylinder wall left with a .30 bore over. That would make it a 7.1L diesel. :lol:

You are correct on the H110 designation. The general consensus is these are made by Eaton. They were made from 1946 to about the mid 80's, and were put on many GM medium duty vehicles. The ring gear is 12.25", axle shafts are 1.75" with a 27 spline count. The most common gears were 6.17 and...

All done with the engine swap. I finished my mounts last night and bolted them in. For my 1st set of motor mounts I think they came out very nice. To test them, I used the engine hoist to try and lift the motor up to flex the mounts. Instead, it started lifting the front end of the truck off the...

I used one of those harbor freight airless electric sprayers today, it's a cheap version of a Wagner. I had to thin the BEHR the recommended amount on the can for it to spray well. It used up a whole gallon in about 1 1/2 hours, although the adjusting knob on the back hardly works to "adjust...

I saved the page to my computer, so if the link ever goes KAPUT like they often do, it will still be available for readers here.

Thought i'd share this article I found, i've seen it posted years ago but the link was dead. Thought i'd never be able to find it again, but it's a real nice read. Makes me love my GMC that much more........ as well as the Th400 in it. rofl M211: The “Cadillac Deuce” | Military Trader

That is for the M35, the M211's have the bleeder valve at the top. It sounds like you have air in your hydraulic system. Before bleeding the air pak make sure you exhaust all the air from the air system.

Yes, it holds up very well to diesel fuel, oil and heat. It will stain like too, to watch where you put your grease rags and your dirty little paws.

What's the diameter on those front tires?

Go strata blue!

Behr can be applied at 35 degrees and above, and it must remain at 35 degrees for 4 hours after applying it. I'd say your good to go, if you started spraying before noon and finished within a couple hours.

Rusty Metal Primer does contain fish oil, this soaks into the rust and is what halts it. This is why it also cures to darn slowly. Even if it's summer time, I'll let the stuff cure for 4 to 5 days. It should be absolutely rock hard and should not be soft at all when scratched with the thumb nail...

If you have access to the real thing, by all means go with it. But It's really up to you, durability wise and appearance wise they will both wear the same. You can always touch up CARC with BEHR too, and you will not be able to tell the difference. As the original OP said, depending on the...

I typed this out on wordpad real quick. Save as a DOC file so the forum will upload it. BEHR matched to Aervoe 24087. I felt this would reduce some of the "how do I post this code properly". Print it out and take it to depoty.
