. The ONLY reason that I was hell bent on having the real bushings when I did my replacement was my age. I figured I would do the job once at 62 and whomever has the truck when I am gone gets to deal with it the second time around. :cool:

. Hi Dave and Welcome to the Outfit! I think the rules might require that you have posted a few times before you have the ability to add a listing in the Classified Section. The goal is to keep out the spammers and scammers. If you wanted to post a few pictures of what you have here - and...

. I will be really interested to see what the guys have to say about aluminum @Guruman . When I replaced my dried out, badly cracked (but still whole) cab bushings - there was a noticeable improvement in how my M1088 "felt" bouncing down the road. My M1089 that had one bushing completely...

. YES Sir! Haven't we all... I've got one around here somewhere!

. Just fishing... It looks to me like the steering knuckle boots are what is leaking. You should be able to confirm that by smell. If it is gear oil, it should have a sulfur smell. You don't want that to be leaking out (obviously). If it is grease in the knuckles, that isn't good but if it...

. Also gotta know - Is she a blonde or a brunette? Or maybe a red head?

. The work lights are a really nice plus!

. Well... I guess the good news is that they fixed your truck. Insurance should fix things but sometimes it ends up costing you in the end. Stay on top of your insurance records - making sure that they don't penalize you for some "nit-wit" driver that ran into you! The repairs look good so far.

. Dang. Yessir, seems "similar but different" and a PS2 Connector and the connections are definitely backward to use those parts. Sorry. I was hopeful. My guess is that part of the MILTOPE folks made it the way they did intentionally. All parts would have to come from them is my guess.

. That is (was?) a good looking Built In A Barn truck! .

. Don't know for sure because I have never seen one. Could be a 50pin SCSI (before fast wide 68 pin SCSI) or depending on who built it, IBM had 50 pin IDE drives with power built into those connectors.

. WWII vintage International 6x6 trucks had two output shafts on the transfer case. Both axles were driven by completely separate drive shafts. Both rear axles were interchangeable with the rear axle driven through a bolted on "Pillar Block Bearing" that was mounted on the drivers side of the...

. Yeah that and some new rims and new springs too.

. That's Great!! Especially when "the Finance Department" is on board and needs a HMMWV. Makes it much easier to buy parts when the wife is involved in this project!

. True @ezgn ! Most all fossil fuel vehicles have a rear main seal and a water pump. The water pump is definitely common and normal. The rear main repair would be the same as a small block Chevy. AND like you said both of those aren't diesel specific...

. Yessir! Almost need to have a sword on your hip so you can whip it out and cut a hole in the air just to walk around...

. Welcome to the Outfit! So, you have already been welcomed, been told about the TM's (Technical Manuals), found this website, got yourself a truck... All you gotta do now is wait for paperwork and eventually you be able to cruise the neighborhood. BE SURE to take some pictures and create a...

. Got a picture?

. What about an Impact Driver? As you are already doing - penetrating oil, then "thump" this tool with about a three pound hammer. Gotta find the hex tool that will fit it, but there are kits for that or a 3/8 socket with an allen on the end of it. These things work pretty well... That thump...

. Very well said @Lil Pete ! There are people who will help you figure out things @jplace1011 . Your answers will not be instant, but with patience somebody here can point you in a forward direction. All it requires from you is a set of dirty hands willing to turn a wrench or two and time...
