You can theorize all you want, but you have no idea what that piston actually looks until you pull the head and look at it, or see it with a borescope (if that's possible) If the valve dropped it's due to a faulty keeper or broken/weak springs which can all be repaired on the non offending...

Doesn't seem like it'd be all that hard to pull it around back and yank the head off, if the piston is "okay" and the problem is isolated to the head, then rebuild the head and pop it back on and run it for another 20 years . Diesel pistons are pretty tough and can take some well above average...

If your hyd res is 3 gallons low with bed down, that's certainly where I'd start, then if problem continues address filters .

I think it was the wording that may have threw some folks, the yoke is held on by a nut threading onto the pinion, holding the yoke in place . Pull the nut back off clean the threads and put a couple drops of blue loctite on them, reinstall and give nut a couple quick wacks with an impact if...

Looking at a couple A3's a friend has, I don't need two, so was thinking of buying them and selling one . I have never owned nor even driven one of these, and prices for the few I've found for sale online are all over the pkace, from 2500. for parts trucks to 31k for a gold plated one . So...

I painted my entire M35 water truck with 1 gallon of paint, thinned it per the instructions, used a roller and brush, no primer, laid down great, looks great . Thats All I got .

If I'm not mistaken those rigs use a thick cut gear on the lower ratio (numerically) case . I'm betting someone make a thick cut higher ratio (numerically) gear for the original case, that being said you should be able to lunchbox the carrier and run a set of thick cut gears in whatever flavor...

Oops, forgot pics for proof 😬 .

Just a quick check on eghey shows me several options fro the 20, Spartan, Lokrite and Detroit Locker . I didn't dig into ratio selection on the Detroit, but stuff is out there for sure . Seems like maybe rigging up cutting brakes (poor mans locker) for the rear would me quicker/simpler for...

I had a 52 XM211, it was in mint condition, but that Cadillac transmission and the bizarre way GM set that truck up killed it for me, I can't even see the engine in yours, got more pics ? Still have the Caddy trans ?

Okay I'll play ... M50A2 Deuce 1/2: Fuel kill is always pushed back in after I stop engine . Transmission is NEVER left in gear, I often even pull the T-case into neutral, my park brake works excellent . All that is needed is to spin the starter, not too difficult . M931A2 5 ton...

Hello Not sure how trash could get into a T-case, maybe just old Army gear goo ? Things I personally would try before removal and disassembly of said case: 1- drain trash/goo From case and fill with ATF which has detergent in it, and run the truck around and clean the case out, and it will...

Hey nice looking truck, looks uber clean . So it drives fine forward in high ? If so personally I would start beating it down the road and getting heat in the trans and making things come back to life, I find these things develops issues sitting around, I know mine has . Some things will fix...

Cool truck, I like that winch on the back and the roller, nice that your saving and repairing the old building too, hardly anyone does anymore they just smash and put up new . 🇺🇸

What else did you do when you "climbed aboard" ? I doubt that just getting in the truck would cause a problem, but, if the gauge is pegging over it's because is receiving a full ground signal, so somewhere that signal wire is getting to ground like it's maybe rubbed through somewhere, or your...

Here's a couple pics of some different fenders that I have, I'm on the West coast so they won't by do you any good, but just for ideas, run a couple pieces of pipe straight out from the top of the upright section below the curvature of your tank, hang em high for the articulation these trucks...

An M931A2 only has 11.5 feet of frame rail behind the cab, and 2 feet of that is unusable unless you remove the spare tire, exhaust etc. So there's barely enough room for a camper, you could always get one of those models that came with an aluminum box on the back and trick it out, thats what...

Okay, so I did more stuff (M931A2) I put that angle iron cross piece back on behind the cab that holds the metal covers over the fuel tanks and spare tire junk . I had taken it off when I made this truck into a water truck, and I also removed the drivers side fuel tank and had a pump down...

Remove the electronic fuel shut off solenoid from your inj. pump and throw it in the trash, that will fix 90% of your no start issues, and just use the manual fuel stop T- -handle on the dash . I might be working today, but eventually and intermittently it won't .

I'll bet you're right, but by the time I found a TM, read it and got it to sink into my ADHD infused grey matter, I could have fixed 4 doors/windows . Every screw and bolt in this door and window assy will fit in the small of your palm, a minor amount of common sense and sone elbow grease can...
