    VERY basic bead lock question

    Just use plenty of tire lube and you should be fine.

    Blown Head Gasket Recovery (no longer) - Massive Engine Failure (!)

    Agreed, even if 3500 miles is not enough to consider this a good used motor... Reading post 1 again, it doesn't seem as if there was any sign of loss of power or cylinder(s) misfiring, shortly before the disaster. How could a faulty injector cause this much havoc in just seconds?

    VERY basic bead lock question

    I suspect you are talking about solid rubber runflat inserts, AKA "donuts" ? .... like this one....... ? .... and not this type of full rubber beadlock .....? .... or this other version, steel/rubber beadlock ???

    Driveshaft bolt size

    Exact............? :giggle: Hex head, 1/2”-20 tpi UNF, Grade-8, L= 1-½”, partially threaded, 5/8" shank (grip) BTW: Flanges are 3/8" thick. So, if the stock bolts are hard to find (or too expensive), a std 2" long, Grade 8 bolt with a 3/4" unthreaded shank will also do, after cutting off...

    Blown Head Gasket Recovery (no longer) - Massive Engine Failure (!)

    Can anyone explain this mark on the exhaust valve? A ½”-lockwasher would be about that size... But since this mark is so perfectly centered on the valve head and there are no evident signs on the corresponding piston, I doubt that the engine "ate" a washer... (?)

    VERY basic bead lock question

    Squeeze or twist-and-screw in, depending on what type of beadlock we are talking about. Or are you referring to runflats? Often yes, especially if tires were kind of collapsed/compressed from being stacked in a pile. Yes.

    That's correct. 1 foot wider but exactly the same length.

    M35A2 / M35A3 - Lets Discuss Civilian Seat Options

    Sweet dreams.........! There would be hundreds of good options - if......... the cab was only 4 inches longer!

    Purchased a 6.5td from 3500 truck for my M998 & have questions

    Sadly not... That's the problem I have when selling HMMWV engines to people who want them for their suburbans and pickups: Due to the different shape at the bottom, the mil pan sure does interfere with the crossmember...(!)

    Barely Turn Right With MRAP wheels & Super Singles

    Those will stick out a lot, on the front axle. Ideally you want something between 8.5 - 9.0 inches of BSP, measured with the adapter plate already bolted on.

    Ball joint install driving me mad

    That's your problem, right there! Solution: Brake cleaner & chalk ..... Degrease and dry all surfaces thoroughly, then rub the cone all around with your piece of chalk. Insert the joint, screw the nut on a few threads and eventually use a small prybar (in between nut and knuckle) to force the...

    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    Ammonia solution will do.... Any household cleaner (with 5-10% NH₃ by weight), or buy 30% commercial and eventually dilute. Where it matters, any residue (stains of ammonium sulfate) can easily be removed with a damp towel or by rinsing off with water.

    Continue turning the engine without removing the engine - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 Diesel - Solved

    Sir, your question has been answered, already...(!) Either turn the crank (CW) at the front bolt - which holds the pulley and damper in place (takes a 24mm socket & breaker bar), or at the flexplate ring gear, in any direction. That can be done with a large screwdriver as lever, or best with...

    Spare wheel/tire combination for M35A3 with 365s or 395s without getting another M35A3 rim?

    No, for long trips or everyday usage I would not want more than 1/2" difference. But for temporary use I see no problem at all - unless you had detroit lockers installed.

    Spare wheel/tire combination for M35A3 with 365s or 395s without getting another M35A3 rim?

    I'd shop for a 12.00R20 tire - which can be mounted on a 7.5 inch rim, no problem. Their overall diameter is somewhere between 44.5" and 45" and as a spare that would work good enough. A2 rims are TT, so just make sure you get the right tube and flap, too.
