We wrote about this a month ago and the new LMC catalog shows up at my door a few days ago. Part number 36-4042 for $17.95 is their wiper arm with a nozzle and the side mount wiper arm.

We brazed up the broken starter mount 6.5 last week but I didn't have all the other stuff needed to try spinning the engine at work then. This week is spring break so I made a pair of trips to get the last of Warthog's stash. Tuesday had me loaded down heavy with 7 engines in cans. One of...

The convoy through town with the escort really is one of the funnest part of the weekend. Try to make it if you haven't already.

This is the best shot I got of the Cowdog hooked to the M715. 6.2 power pulling another truck to get revived 6.2 or more likely, 6.5 power. Maybe even a turbo.... the 6.5 block with the cracked starter mount has been worked on for a few days now. We got the broken off clean bolt out. The part...

Here is where the plot thickens. One of the "close but not right" vehicles Warthog bought was a 2wd USAF C20 from FT Sam. I went and picked it up for him in November of 2010. I had no interest in the vehicle myself. Once my students got it road worthy I started driving it so warthog could be...

Ok, I was out of town when I wrote the above post. I got home and looked at a '87, '89 and '90 Suburban in my yard. They do have the side lug wiper mounts. However, the arm itself is the same. They just have a plastic adaptor that houses the washer nozzle and a side lug mount. They are very...

I had the same problem with the plastic adapters bending or breaking. One day in heavy rain a few month ago the drivers side wiper just kept on going. It hit the door mirror as it flew away. Thankfully, the next town a few miles away had a NAPA. I went in asking for the cheapest thing they had...

I can answer a few of your questions because I put a NV4500 behind a 6.2 in my M715. You need a 4wd version of the NV4500 that will take a passenger side drop transfer case. I do not know for sure which year NV4500 will do that or maybe all will. A 1985 K30 6.2 flywheel will work with a...

Colton and I should be able to attend yet again. Thanks for doing this Lincoln!

60G's in all 4 6.2 engines on the road these days. The newest set is 3 years old and the oldest is 5 years old. They work everytime.

I think I am blessed to do more than 90% of all my driving in 6.2 powered former military vehicles. I have been doing this for years. Each of the 4 trucks has a different "normal" engine sound. We all know that the best description of a normal healthy 6.2 is "a washing machine full of...

Pull the bottom hose. That valve has been sitting in one place for maybe 30 years now. You go messig with it, it might get mad and not seal up again.

I can't find my thread from a year ago. So, here are the pictures I took of the NAP brackets on my M1009:

Nostalgia air products has some great brackets. They get them made by a place in Ft Worth. I can't link them here from my phone. I think I have your email so I will try sending it to you. I also put put pictures of them on my M1009 on a thread here or the Zone a year ago when I wrote about...

Just a dirty head and header without drips is something that can stay or get fixed. Depending on your level of OCD. If it is OCD, check the level regularly and normally it won't get any worse. However, if your OCD is actually CDO because that is the proper order. Then you better pull the...

Theory on diesels is so simple. Put clean fuel to the IP, let the IP send the pressurized fuel to the injectors and let any left over fuel go back to the tank. Have a clean air filter and unrestricted air access. Then spin it fast enough to make fire and let it run. It doesn't read like you...

Very good point. I am at 468 feet above sea level and normally don't consider elevation change. I am glad to hear about the help at altitude.

That is a very early version of the blinker box. I have never personally seen one like that. The front of your tool box and battery box is where the difference is. Here is a thread listing out a few of the differences between old and newer trucks...

There are a bunch of little bitty splines around the steering shaft with 1 big spline. The only way to put the steering wheel on anyway besides how the factory put it is to use a file and flatten a few of the small splines. If you look at the steering wheel there is a notch under the horn...

The wait light shows when the glow plugs are working before you start the engine. However, the plugs still glow up to 30 seconds or so after engine start up. It is officially called "after glow." The glow plug controller determines how much after glow is needed based on engine temperature...
