. Yes sir. I find some really cool stuff on the other side of the country. Most of the time the cost for shipping ruins it, but eventually fuel prices will come back down. Like that comment about February 29th too. :)

. Now, you have your answer and the parts are on their way so - what about possibly downloading the TM (Technical Manual) for your truck now? Not being a jerk here. Just trying to help you see how those books will make you life easier and make you smarter in the future. The 24p (parts book)...

. Keep shopping. You might eventually find something better. OR, you might buy one with doors and a top and a maybe cab that is mostly intact. Then find another truck that claims to run in the auction report. Put the parts together, and sell off the extra parts and possibly get some of your...

. Outside rear battery is on the 12v part of the connection. Drop a charger on that one battery (don't bother disconnecting everything else) and cook it for a few hours and that D@$# infernal clicking should go away. These trucks are "over batteried" and they just don't get a good charge with...

. Yes sir... Black bulbs generally indicate a bad ground. Not always, but most of the time - especially when the ground "comes and goes".

. You might consider a 10ft Conex

. Well, that doesn't sound like fun... The good part is that you didn't end up with the WooFlu on top of the heart attack! Hope the Saw Bones can get you cobbled back together on the first attempt. Remember to work smarter. Hustling a 5-Ton tire and rim is no joke. Barely get the wheel off...

. Tojo has a wire rope that the spare tire hangs from under the truck. (Picture Below and it looks like your picture as well) There is a hole - generally above or beside the license plate that allows you to lower the tire to the ground. Size of the tire is only limited by the space you have...

. You might look for a Chevy spare holder on a square body truck. Item #5 in the picture is a "must have" and clean is really nice to have. Item #3 is pretty important too. Word Of Caution: A flat on the rear can be dangerous. You just about can't get the spare off the under-bed cradle with a...

. The "Tape Test" works really well for adhesion testing... Blue painters tape shouldn't pull anything (paint) even if you burnish the tape to the painted surface in 24 hours. After a few days, full tilt 2 inch masking tape shouldn't pull paint - especially in full sun. Adhesion Promoter...

. 54 year old toy...

. Ahh... We were looking for the Snow Cat manuals for somebody here recently. EM-0112 is what we were looking for and it isn't classed for release to the general public. Your subject line is the Hagglund. Similar but different. Sorry for the confusion on my part. The American black metal...

. I know NOTHING about it, but you mentioned solenoids... What about a can or two of spray electrical contact cleaner? There is a Anti-Ox spray cleaner too that seems to help a lot of relays in big green trucks. Might be worth a try. Also, if you happen to have any sort of black metal...

. Sure is looking awful good to me!

. I suggest a 3# hammer. Tension the puller, then hit it. Don't try to kill it, but give it a good thump. If that doesn't work, spray with your favorite penetrating oil while the puller still has the wheel under tension. Spray it every day for several days and snug the puller a little more...

. Transmission overheating is why - according to the information shared with me. Logically, what you mentioned would be the same - and if so - it seems that when a slushbox gets hot it gets unhappy no matter what it is doing.

. The reason for setting the speed to 1700 rpm is to keep you from "smoking your Allison" transmission. Nothing to do with hydraulic pump speed and resulting speed. Just creep the handles if you want to move slowly. The older wreckers with manual transmissions will operate at idle all day...

. Looking Good!
