    Lug Nuts Way Overtorqued (!)

    To me, if you have even the slightest bit of mechanical aptitude, it will be completely obvious if the ring is not seated prior to inflation. Remember the truck tire repair career path does not always attract the sharpest tools in the shed.

    Lug Nuts Way Overtorqued (!)

    That bar is a Ken-tool TR11, not too expensive. Air tool you need an Ingersoll Rand 285B6 extended anvil 1" impact. A Ken-tool 30150 combo Budd socket to go with it. Tire tools you need a Ken-tool T23 lock ring tool and a T11E duck bill hammer. With this setup you can remove and...

    Have your CAT had its Asphaltene today???

    Maybe I have that. Thought it was some kind of wax that precipitated out of the diesel. I used lacquer thinner to cut it in the primary filter, trying ethanol in the fuel tank. This is a LMTV.

    M54A2 Identifying numbers?

    Look for numbers stamped into the frame rail by the steering gear. 9525 etc. M54A2s were only built in the mid to late 1960s.

    The distributor caps are notorious for getting hairline cracks and then the juice jumps to ground right there. Do as G744 advises.

    Multifuel camshaft timing

    Multifuel camshaft timing

    You should be able to eliminate camshaft being sheared off by running the engine with the valve covers off and observing the rockers. Wow it must run pretty awful with only 2 of 6 cylinders contributing.

    Why do I need DOT 5 brake fluid in my Deuce 1/2 ?

    If you drive your truck daily/weekly and do fluid flushes every few years, DOT 3 will serve you fine. If you don’t drive often and don’t flush, the brake hydraulic components will turn into a rusted mess. Silicone DOT 5 eliminates this problem. I redid my M38A1 Jeep with silicone fluid in...

    Air Compressor/Opinions Please

    In the product reviews, someone posted a pic of the sticker on the unit and it says 90 amps, I agree that wire would be smokin’ with 90 amps going through it.

    Suggest you verify 12 volt supply to the solenoid on the injection pump is not dropping out.

    I got a stupid question

    Goats were manufactured with dot 3 but got converted over to silicone in the 80s like everything else the Army had. Silicone fluid is perfect for vehicles not driven very much.
