    Shipping A Fording Exhaust Pipe

    It is dimensional pricing and will knock your socks off due to measurements not weight. I was selling them here in New Orleans and UPS tried to bill me a stupid surcharge for oversize after the fact on my last shipment. I won the fight but it was an ordeal.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    That wrench extender is very interesting. I googled it and found it in Amazon. Might need to add to my overextended ( my wife's opinion ;-) ) holdings of hand tools.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Brass is "relatively" easier to remove than going back with steel or stainless if there is another problem down the road. A little heat, some penetrating oil, and a left hand twist extractor should make it a painless operation.... Teflon tape or preferably the liquid /paste sealer not only does...

    I had a massive sweet gum tree fall on my 5 ton. The muffler took a hit at the top. Pretzeled the pipe and pushed in the top mushroom flange. Muffler is solid with no rot. I changed it along the way and muffler has maybe a 1000 miles on it plus I had a flapper on it to keep water out. Top...

    HMMWV Alternator problem

    That answers the question with the regulator it is probably 200. Some older models had 100 but that is not as common as the 200. The 400 would power the space shuttle and weighs 17 tons...Lol Damn shame as the 200 is a small fortune. With a new key weight and pulley with a lock washer under the...

    HMMWV Alternator problem

    What flavor of Alt 60amp , 100, 200 or 400? I assume v belts so likely 60 or 200. Were all the mounting bolts and brace snug? Brackets?

    M925a2 8.3 cooling system burping

    On the m939, the heater core is a great place for funk to accumulate if not flushed out regularly. First time, I flushed it, I was amazed how much "mud" came out.
