If it didn't lose fluid, my first thought would be a dead master cylinder. You can test this theory by removing the brake line output and plugging the hole. If the pedal is rock solid then the problem is further down the line. Reinstall the brake line and cap the airpack output. It's gotta'...

I would assume that's because the core is an expensive oddball. My local shop that I've always had good luck with quoted me nearly a thousand bucks to recore a deuce radiator and they said a big chunk of that was the weirdo core. I suspect that since the modern service world pretty much...

OK, fine. One time, at band camp..................................... Alright, first............ clintogf bought a bunch of NOS transfers. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?48432-A-trip-to-Redstone-Arsenal&highlight= She sold all but 2 of them...... and I said "Honey, if you want...

I see silicone brake fluid.

I also didn't mention our guest from the Czech Republic last year. :) I doubt the minute amount of difference from where my bracket was and where yours is will make any appreciable difference.

1. I would not overfill any manual transmission. The engineers specified the correct amount of fluid for it and if it needed more, they would have specified so. I understand there may be some special instances like the aforementioned Ford, but I have never read about the T84/T90 family of...

Thanks. Feeling better now. That is a long trip. In an MV, you might not be in a great mood when you got there. But Those Military Guys came all the way from California last year and Gringeltaube has been with us now for several years all the way from Uraguay. So book your plane ticket...

Chickenhawk is probably one of the best books ever written about VietNam. So well written.

Went out and measured my factory M35A3 bed. The outer mounting holes for the marker/reverse light bracket are exactly 2.25" from the very outside bed rail to the center of the bolt hole on both sides. I have to sweep away 2 years of leaves, my crazy dog, brave the epic pollen and I am a...

It's probably due to be serviced again: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?5935-leaking-axle-seal-repair Look at that thread #. Woo.

I think if I was going to do all that, I'd go ahead and go whole hog and do the steel brake lines as well. They're 60+ years old and reasonably cheap. No point in going this far and trying to reuse an ancient steel line and have it split. You can use a pressure bleeder to do the brakes in the...

That's a lot of work but it's really the only right way to do it. I have a lot of respect for that. A deuce to haul all your stuff to the rally and a Jeep as the "bomb around camp" runner - you can't do much better.

That is a heck of a nice trailer. Aluminum trailers are the bomb. Is the Gator a new addition?

That is a deuce bed: 12' long and 5 stake pockets down the side. Looks really straight.

My post, my keyboard, go pound sand No grass grows under HQ43. It gets used a lot. I don't own a regular pickup anymore, so if it's a mission that requires something more than a Honda Civic, 43 gets the call.

The 12V battery that is for the emergency trailer brakes. Mounted on the tongue of most trailers.

Oh, you so funny. Eventually when I paint the truck (I'd say I'm about 80% done with the truck), I'll do a build thread, but since you've called me out (et tu Brutus!) I'll have to defend myself now. So, after owning a couple of these things, a few truths came to mind. All the ways you use...

Do you mean why aren't the drums a "slip on" design like modern vehicles where you can remove the drum or rotor easily in order to service the brakes without having to repack bearings?

What do you not like about (other than the obvious: 5 gallons of explosive liquid 2' under you thaqt's in a prime location for being hit in a t-bone style accident)? I like the water cans on the flaps. A truck that holds 8 gallons of coolant and springs a leak-you're going to need more than a...
