Inspect the seals at the ends of the differentials and the boots. They are probably torn or cracked.

I agree about the single circuit brakes. It is a planned project to try to upgrade to dual circuit air over hydraulic on my truck. I'm hip deep in this thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?73346-Dual-Circuit-Brake-Engineering-Thread/page7 I realize it's for deuces but the...

Oh, I'm using a clip on chuck. Think about it though- if a tire mounted on the vehicle blew a ring off, it could rocket across my yard, into neighbor's yards, possibly. Fortunately, it sounds like the ring is usually still firmly attached unless the tire goes totally flat. The M&R guys in my...

Right. None of the tires have gone totally flat and deformed. The lowest I found, was 25 psi, so "off roading" pressure. I think it took 8 years of sitting for it to drift that low. Oh- these are ordinary NDT's. I imagine that driving the truck with tires at all different pressures would cause...

Yes, I searched the archives. Lots of CTIS information and info about mounting tires but not exactly what I'm looking for. Simple enough question- On a NON-CTIS vehicle, with a tire that has already been mounted with the split lock ring and inflated to full pressure but has slowly lost...

Toby- NO WAY!!!!! Awesome, brother! You're a brother X2! Submarines and the MIUW! Ha, I wish you lived closer. We'd have a **** of a time.

Howdy. I'm near Annapolis, MD so not terribly far away from you.

Ejection seat. Just kidding. On my truck, in that location, the cable is to supply or cut off fresh air. You should see a cable running to the passenger's side footwell, to a damper. I have another t-handle that flaps between heat on your feet and defrosting the windshield. Of course, your...

Dang. That's straight out of The Walking Dead.

Just found my winter snow-day project in this thread. My passenger seat cover is blasted but the foam is still good (and yes, I can upgrade the foam with something better if I choose to.) I found a good source of OD green canvas duck cloth but I'm trying to decide which weight and whether waxed...

Sigh...I feel old. I can't believe the 900's came out in the 80's and 90's. When I arrived at my unit in 2001, we had a fleet of ancient M35A2's and one M813. After 9/11, the budget spigots opened and we got freshly upgraded M35A3's from the ESP, a 900 truck and replaced our decrepit CUCVs...

From what I've observed in my very limited experience, the 900 series trucks are very popular, much more so than the 809's. I get it- the more modern engines, automatic transmissions and other bells and whistles plus the fact that they are much newer makes them very attractive. Based on...

Well, I can see the truck in your avatar. I'd love to see some close up photos of the armored bits. Run flats of that size must cost a fortune! My first batch of parts is in the mail. I'll order batch #2 while I'm out of town next week so that they arrive when I return. So far, my first few...

Perfect- 11" long by 2.25" ID. Only problem is, this part doesn't have the "nuclear hardened feature." ;)

Buy an IR temperature gun and shoot the transmission and the cooling hoses to see if they match what the gauge is telling you.

Yeah, I ended up going with NAPA for the belts. I need to email myself the spreadsheet. I can't access it from where I am, right now. Thanks for the tip on iso-group, I'll try that. I've been trying to cross reference part numbers with mixed success with other cross reference sites. I can tell...

Does anyone have the ID of the upper radiator hose handy?

P/N: Car Quest 13A11p5 P/N: Car Quest 11A0915 may have been superseded. They don't come up in any Car Quest or affiliate parts search engine, or even Google. The only reference to these P/N's in Google, are to the threads on this forum. NAPA P/N's still seem valid.

Ah, the game's afoot! The vets here weren't lying when they said not to make assumptions and troubleshoot.

I'll read up on that, thanks. My house is on a well that has mineral laden water, so I sure won't be putting that into the cooling system. If I can't find pre-mixed at reasonable prices, I'll be sure to use distilled water free of minerals.
