It’d be best if you could post the names and part numbers for the speedometer adapter oil seal instead of the eBay link as that eBay link will not last “forever”. Also, I want to replace my injection pump oil lines too, but how in the world did you get wrenches on them without removing the pump...

My two go-to vendors (Erik’s and Big Mike’s) are also both out of stock, but Big Mike’s lists the following part numbers and the switch looks a bit different: PART # 11602160 NSN 2540-00-789-6192, 5930007896192, 7005, 7014-05, SP9A-5RPP...

Thanks guys, I petitioned the mods to add White Owl to my above list.

Thank you Evil Dr. Porkchop and Recovry4x4 for your very helpful replies!

So to bump an old thread, even though I’m sure this information is covered somerwhere but I just can’t seem to dig it up: Are the side racks (and subsequently bows and cargo cover) interchangeable between A1, A2, and A3 cargo bodies?

I was just telling my mother these same things last weekend. Prices are sure climbing. It seems my main source of surplus is eBay any more as the little surplus dealers dry up or age out (retire) as GP is now "that person". The world changes and I'll just keep my memories of visiting all the...

I was thinking I'd need some expensive mic and voice unit, but to find out that it was for cabling to radio equipment that I don't have (nor intend to have) then I suppose I can get the much cheaper VPU (Voice Projection Unit) pictured earlier. Thanks a ton for that quite detailed and helpful...

I have what I believe is an MSA MCU-2/P gas mask as pictured below. Its lens is yellowed from age, but it has a 2-pin connector for what I also believe is a microphone? I've done a lot of searching and found some less than helpful videos of people talking about the mask and even a voice emitter...

Thank you. I couldn't get the KSL article to play on my device.

Guys, stay safe out there with your rigs, insurance and preventative maintenance. (I highly suggest a dash camera in all your vehicles too). Today, Monday October 15, 2018 the driver of the Chrysler 300 died in a collision with an M44, M809, or M39 series 6x6 (hard to tell which exactly from...

Hah. That's interesting. In all my years here I've never uploaded images that way. I never paid attention to that "Insert Image" toolbar icon. That's a might shorter way than "Go Advanced" -> "Manage Attachments". Update: Moved my more complicated method instructions here: To attach...

Two and a half years ago I dug through the Monroe catalog to see what shocks would fit a 1960 Pioneer tool trailer I had (same M116 frame, and axles as an M101). I'm not saying the information is current, but may be of some use to you...

Not really for me. I’d have to know the seller REALLY WELL to be COMPLETELY assured that the kit wasn’t missing any pieces. A kit this custom, if you’re missing one single piece the whole kit would be useless (IMO: it would cost way too much to try and have the unknown missing piece made).

I'm sad to report that due to work I will not actually be able to attend. But I WILL be following for your pictures, videos, and stories!

Rusty, due to your words here I decided it was time I buy one of Tom's overdrive kits (I had been wanting one for years). But it looks like I took two weeks too many to decide to invest in it. His overdrive webpage worked a few days ago, but not now. So I called a spoke to Tom personally and he...

That's way cool! I love not only the look of it, but being correct, just like tobyS said, being within legal width without narrowing the axle. Nicely done!

Great idea, thanks! This has been a high priority "TODO" item on my list all this year.

DeadParrot is exactly correct. You do need that 2-9/16" 8 point socket to remove the spindle nuts. You may also want to buy a new gasket for the hub flange (or use RTV silicone, but I prefer the gasket). Here's a few pictures of a 1960 pioneer tool trailer that I used to own (same 3/4 ton frame...

I want to post a Want Ad for an item. Am I allowed, in the same post, to list items I have that I'd also be willing to trade (or partial trade) for said item, or do I need to create a Classifieds For Sale post first and then link to it?

Oh mine tows perfectly behind my Dodge Dakota too. It turns, pulls, and rides just fine (I can feel the extra jars in the rear end over bumps though). Except, I can feel it back there in acceleration and especially deceleration. The transmission noticeably waits longer to shift up while...
