    Injection line boots

    OK I got the new boots in and was able to install them over the pump end fitting. I didn't think they would stretch that much but they will. I used dielectric silicone grease and pulled them over the fitting. You have to secure the line in a vise so the fitting is in a fixed position. You have...

I have a set ordered but looking at the lines I am not sure you can install them over the end fitting. Does anyone have any advice on that? I don't want to...

    What sandblaster should i buy? need opinions...

    The size of the compressor is directly related to how fast you can clean things. Smaller compressors will not be sufficient for some thing like a bed. I do commercial blasting and an I run a 100HP Ingersoll Rand diesel unit. I blast with a #6 nozzle that's a 3/8" bore and uses about 250CFM of...

    I got an A2 that is a 71 model. The asset cost on the sticker was $41,000 when I got it. I assume that was the govt cost in 1971.

    Can Anyone ID These Rims?

    Those look to be the late model deuce rims. I bought a set and the only issue is the oval openings in them are much smaller than the original. This makes it much harder to access the inner valve stems on duals.

    M35A2C Gushing oil

    Check the torque on the hold down bolts. The gaskets may have taken a set and caused the leak. I think the torque is around 65 ft lbs. you may want to plan on converting to spin on oil filters will be easier to change and faster oil pressure build.

I pulled the old one off so I knew it was just didn't connect when I tried to install the new one. I felt really stupid for...

    Engine Cut-out at high RPM

    Actually there is a drain on all 3 filter canisters. Most of the water will be captured in the primary canister but it's a good practice to drain all 3 on a regular basis.

    How to repack wheel bearings?

    Rusty stud is right the grease will flow even cold it will settle due to gravity. I always put enough if the hub so the bearings are supplied with grease when it settles.

    Winch and Bumper Project

    Rusty, if you were close by I would sandblast all your parts for you so the finish would be top notch. I blast with 35/65 grade sand leaves a smooth finish ready for paint. Eddie

    Wheel removal for wheel cylinder replacement advise

    If you would have used the military gear reduction lug tool this could have been avoided. It drives off of the square thimble head to turn the hex nut. The gear reduction makes it reasonable to loosen most wheel nuts. I am a believer in that tool. I made my own extended handle out of a high...

    Head stud issues

    Loctite makes a semi solid thread adhesive. It looks like a large lip stick tube. I would remove them one at a time and apply that and reinstall them. Using a proper lube is critical to get the tension load for the gaskets Rustystuds advice for using the ARP lube is correct.

    Whites multifuel ldt 465 blowing oil out exhaust

    Over filling the crankcase should not have done any permanent damage to the engine. It would just try and push it out the slobber tube. I would clean the engine good correct the oil level and take it for a run to burn off any residual oil and see how it runs.
