Blazers and travel trailers are dirt cheap compared to what COULD have been the result! Thanks God your all OK!

Words to live by!

I generally use like a bridge planking to put under the jack just enough to accommodate the height needed and to also provide the floatation needed to be a good solid base!

Thanks much Wes its appreciated!

What size and thread pitch are the bolts? Match accordingly and you should be good!

I have owned a few 37s and they are a good easy to work on little truck. Very reliable and their prices keep going up. Yours looks like just about the right amount of work to be done, I see the paint doing some things because of rust but doesnt look to bad, clean it up get rid of the bad...

Two big issues I see in using cooking oil a coolant. Oil retains heat very well as opposed to conventional coolant which displaces heat very well as its pumped through the cooling system. How are you going to cool the oil down? The water pump is NOT called an oil pump, can it even circulate...

I have a 20 ton red bottle jack that I bought from Northern tool and use cribbing to get it to the height I need and lift the truck and change the tire. I have 2 of these jacks and will be using them again for my 5 ton and my M977 going to a truck show at the end of the month. Plus they get...

Looks to me like its a generator trailer without the generator!

Hook47 congrats on the Deuce, she looks good! As far as the ticking noise start with the easy things first, I would look hard at the exhaust manifold and gasket. If you have a leak there its going to be to far gone already and your gasket has burnt through. With that said the exhaust manifold...

Thanks you guys very much all great ideas and I have the old cap but the seal is questionable, armed with that and the information you provided I can find one locally! Thanks again!

The mighty 404, congratulations on the Unimog and welcome to the Club! My first along with many Mog owners was a 404, its a great way to get your feet wet so to speak. They are easy to work on and will teach you a lot of the reasons for why they are designed the way they are and how this...

Hey guys I cannot believe this but I am having a hard time finding a Radiator cap for an 1988 M977 HEMTT, Eastern doesnt have any and I seem to be striking out elsewhere also? The truck has a General Thermodynamics model 816A radiator core in it and its original all I need to finish this unit...

I had an S280 shelter that I coated the roof with an RV type sealer it was black and paintable and the prep was normal just have the surface veryclean give it a light sanding with 220 and coat, I used it for 3 years with not a leak then I sold it but would not be surprised if its still doing good!

The first place I would call would be my local CAT dealer or an Allison Dealer depending on where your problem is. Warning, its going to be expensive!

I have always double clutched my Deuce both up and down and that eliminates in issues completely. I also always shift the truck along with any other manual transmission vehicle into Neutral when stopped like at a light or anything like that, its much easier on the throw out bearing!

Hey guys after reading everything I could find both here and the open net I have to say I was rather confused on how to proceed with getting this engine to fire after being run out of fuel. Well here is what I did. My truck is an 88 M977 with the 8V92 its been a great truck since the day I...

Air leaks are pretty much just another maintenance item, I have yet to have one that was more than 100$ to fix and since I do all my own work thats just for the parts. Its all pretty simple, I have my air parts box where I stock a few lengths of airline and a few set of ends and that pretty...
