I've verified that the filter base bolt in the drawing posted is **** near identical to the one sold with the current aluminum kits.
Those are uncommon thread sizes and I haven't found them on online like on McMaster's website but I will call them tomorrow.
Finding these available commercially...
In my quest for the conversion from the sprag to the air shift, I have acquired two air shift cases with their own unique problems at a fair price.
In the pictures, you'll see that the one on the left has a broken mount. I assume this was broken when the truck that it was in was rear ended and...
So that bolt in the bottom half of the drawing holds down the stamped piece that is shown on the top of the drawing on to the motor's filter base, correct?
Is just Permetex or gasket maker used between the sheet metal part and the motor's filter base?
So we could come up with a screw on adapter that has lines to a remote filter, with the filters positioned opening-up, so they retain oil.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a universal remote mount and hose kit I can draw up the adapters to make that happen.
I hope that stipulation about no firearms and live ammunition is about selling things and not applying to people who want to conceal carry or open carry their personal firearm.
I picked up a good master cylinder and air pack this weekend for $75.
DOT 3 is in fact hygroscopic. It absorbs moisture, which is why DOT 3 brake fluid should be changed every other year or so. You've been changing the brake fluid in all your vehicles, like I have been, right?
DOT 5 does not...
I honestly can't say what DOT was in the system when I purchased the truck. I also found a Grade 8 bolt used as a shear pin for the winch so I'm taking a closer look at things now and reading more TM's!
Regardless, it sounds like we're all singing from the same hymnal now.
True. My system already showed evidence of mixing based on the ugly fluid in different colors and viscosity that came out of it. I'm running DOT 3 from here out.
I picked up a master cylinder I'm going to rebuild and install.
I also picked up a newer short air pack.
Currently, I have the older long air pack that has the rebuild kits readily available.
Can the short one directly replace the old one? Simple modifications needed?
I plan to pull and...
Can you explain what the problem is with the return line only going to one tank?
What is wrong with that OR why couldn't it be plumbed with a "T" to both tanks?
I have a complete tank to install on the driver side and I was planning on using check valves and double throw switches to make it...
I got to see this truck and trailer today when picking up some M35A2 parts. Jake is a great guy and I really look forward to seeing what he does making that trailer into a camper.
I have no idea why you would license in NY. Costs on registration and insurance are higher.
I had NO issues registering and insuring my truck and others will say the same.
Someone is blowing smoke up your rear end.
