Interesting as I had never heard of Dirko or sold it in the parts stores when I was in the biz in another lifetime. How did you find them ? and I assume you are happy with the product? Do you use it for everything- water, oil, etc?

There is a dye you can use to id coolant leaks.

What are you building ?

That is a great tip on the tool! Thanks for sharing.

Check the gasket on the oe. Does it have 4 tabs on the sides or 2 front back as those are 2 different caps? Both styles should be available aftermarket gm.

Are we talking the boot puffed up or the joint literally separated? If it came apart, go buy a lottery ticket as you just might have saved your life if that failed at any speed... Definitely can not be driven with separated ball joint. You do have the correct procedure. Just fill till oozes...

These would typically be mounted on the floor of the bed close to the wall of the fender with I think one footman loop on floor and one on fender side with a strap that snaps closed. I believe only some models of armament carriers slant backs got them standard equipment.

The new style Ball joints are available for 5 tons but I do not recall seeing them for deuces recently. I do not think they are the same.

I would recommend when you replace tires to get smaller and get that center of gravity lowered. That is a lot of weight and easy to rollover. Not sure those totes have baffles.

Look at the tm to get the part numbers and cross over. I suspect it is dexter. Not sure you are going to get a complete assembly, might have to piece together. Brake Shoes, Wheel cyl, and hardware kit should be readily available. Does the brake drum go on correctly? I suspect it was robbed...

Croft or etrailer. All civy parts.

Positive terminal is a different size than negative on oe mil spec terminals. I don't see a + or - negative on terminal. You might have chinacom knockoff.

She is a Keeper....... great decal :tank:

I would check that wheel's portal hub to make sure the bearings are good and nut properly adjusted.

many many threads on here about the fluid. My m923 came with dexron already straight out of Ft. Polk. No issues and shifts great. If you are running 1000's of miles or heavy towing, weight carrying , working her like a rented mule; consensus is to use the motor oil. Whatever you do, key is to...

hard to tell with the dirt but look at the indentation in the middle of the bottom 2 screws and clean out to see if it is hollow or look directly under the bed where screwed down and see if you have a black plastic nipple. Hose could be long gone. Also has a slant to it. Water can...

I used GL5 80w90 gear oil in my m923 and it is better in my mind than the original lube. GL5 is pretty much the standard now a days in the civy world. Synthetic is not worth the hype or cost in this application IMHO. Ymmv

Fuel can holders are normally on the floor and have a drain hose through the body. They are different than the water ones. Both abs plastic not the ole school universal metal ones.

holds 3 of the larger ammo cans. I think 40mm.....

here is a pic and link to the critter that has worked for me...
