I believe that brakes and lights would be best done with a 12v/24v converter and use the electric trailer brakes. As far as the hitch issue, would the tractor version of the lmtv be an option? Or the same hitch height issue? If low enough, then would tires clear the trailer in a turn?

Thank you, but sadly its just a defective memory. It saves all sorts of random information, but never what I really need. (Like what it was that I was going into the store for in the first place. Haha.) Ironically, i don't even own that series of truck. If that doesn't do the trick, just go...

I've heard of pretty common issues with the PCB. And it sounds about right from your description. Try tapping it with a hammer, seems to free up the solenoids.

There is a great collection of vehicles this month, so I suppose that I should do some "campaigning". This is my dump truck. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Built by Mack, she started life in 1952 as a M51 gasser. She served with the Army, getting rebuilt at some point into an...

There's some stiff competition, but I'll toss my dump truck in the mix.

Haha. I understand, but they used to get in the house when I was younger. Not wanting to pour fuel around in the house. As I understand it, they have the sent to leave markers to make a trail that they can follow back to a food source.

I didn't check, but if they are the typical ants we find here, they are carpenter ants. Carpenter ants give off a weird smell when you squish them.

Drove I the dump to work today. Took some ants for a wild ride in the process. Found them when I got home.

I had had that thought, as well. Someone trying to slip one past, but, (I have no idea who post the auctions, sets prices, etc) I wouldn't think it would be easy get away with something like that.

Condensation can form inside an engine due to fluctuations in temperature, relative humidity, etc.. Especially if it sits a lot. When the engine warms up it will "burn off" the condensation. Basically it just boils off the moisture, which comes out as water vapor. Engines also create a oil...

I'm not super familiar with the m1009, but the civilian version of the K5's in that vintage had a slip-yoke transfer case. If you pull the driveshaft, be prepared to have the fluid come out. They do make a tailgate plug to take its place, but I believe it's more for in the shop vs down the...

To be fair, they probably don't realize they killed it. They were a co-worker when we recovered the vehicle. Planning to make a mini-home out of it, so I understood that money was tight. Then they quit to work at a different dealer, so it took some pestering to finally get the batteries...

I feel your pain. I loaned out my batteries to help a friend get a vehicle home. They kept them for a couple months, and when I finally got them back,, they had left the key on and ran them dead. Killed a cell in one. Fortunately I only had to buy two. That was months ago and I'm still kind...

When they say overwidth, they are saying wider than would be legal for the road.

The biggest benefit for me, when I used it, was that it eased trigger finger fatigue when painting a lot at one time.

I've had decent luck with this style. I had a different one that worked a little better, but these do alright.

That's no fun. On the plus side, reinstalling a starter shouldn't be a big fix if you can get the bolts. Now, I don't know a great deal about the FMTVs, but I have noticed traffic about them having a vibration issue. Something about driveshaft phasing, I believe. I would recommend some...

Same here. Keep trying to make it again, but seem like the truck is down every time.

If I'm searching correctly, shows to be Fayette County. Possibly in/near city of Oak Hill.

I have a GMTK that goes with me on any trip. You can do an amazing amount on work with what's in this kit and maybe a couple other special pieces, from changing injectors on an LB7, to swapping a transmission in a Civic. I've added a couple tools but basically original. That said, if I were...
