    Why are the splines of my MTV driveshaft dipped in plastic?? And is this too much movement??

    And one more thing, There are Meritor U-joints in stock locally. Will those be ok? Or do i really need the Spicer??

    New Dash Layout in the works……

    I really like your light switch mod. My lever mechanical OEM switch is ridiculously confusing. I'm assuming you ran pins from the harness to the switch and grouped a bunch of them together for park/brake lights and headlights?

    As I was inspecting wires and getting ready to replace a bunch of cracked plastic wire protective sleave, I noticed this plug un-plugged. Any idea what it is?? Thanks!

    New Ride

    Ronmar, I plan on doing as you suggest and replace my A0 breakers with fuses. One thing I ran into is in TM 9-2320-366-24P-1 FIGURE 54 sheet 5 of 7, there are 2ea. breakers #75. When I scroll down to P. 54-3, #75 appears to be a hex nut? What's the amp rating on the two #75 breakers?

    One more thing. The previous owner indicated he never changed the oil. Based on the recorded mileage of the guy he bought it from to when I bought it, it had only been driven less than 2500 miles from what I can tell. :oops:I was hesitant at first, but all signs pointed to it was OK. Just to...

    Well yesterday I changed a tire and fixed the kneeling control valve. The valve had a little bit of a learning curve, which I live for. I put the video in another thread. The tire was a different story. My first one. These things are heavy, but more important is they are unwieldy!! 36" breaker...

    How I rebuilt my rotary hydraulic kneeling valve. Issues I ran into and how I got the stubborn knob off!!

    How I rebuilt my rotary hydraulic kneeling valve. Issues I ran into and how I got the stubborn knob off!!

    Just to add a few things. I didn't test for leaks by activating the kneeling circuit. Mine leaked quite a lot by just activating the cab and tire lifts. So, I checked it in the way I used it. Also concerning the index wafer. I think the wafer may be the same as the 3-position selector knob. I...

    Belts done. Not too bad of a job. I was quite happy to discover I had the new fan clutch on my 97 MTV. I wonder who did that?! Tomorrow will be spent changing a tire and sorting out some hydraulic leaks.

    So in prepping the truck for fan and water pump belts, I felt the front of the fan hub and I have regular bolts. Not hex bolts. I think thats a good thing.....Right?!
