Just make sure you rough up the area with a 3 M abrasive pad to make sure the paint adheres to the surface and clean the area with a chemical degreaser to clean the road grime and paint off to make sure you have a good bond between the paint and surface area.

Bad switch- determine the out put voltage wire from the switch to the turn signal - secure a bobby pin insert the pin into the wire ( make sure you don't short out the bobby pin) using a ohm meter check for the 24 volts that supplies power to the other device -(Make sure you have a good ground)...

Was it determined why the engine seized, with the cause and affect theory.

The RPMs of a alternator will change the voltage output of the device - most common alternator regulators will engage at approximately 800 to 1000 RPM depending on the stator which will excite the regulator and elevate to voltage to 14 volts ( charging Voltage ) assuming that a good ground and...

Contacts such as ground can be affected by grease and or rust preventing a good negative ground affecting the performance ( out put ) of your alternator- and causing a intermittent ground and undesirable operating conditions.

What size wire do you have between the alternator post and the positive terminal. Check the negative post and make sure you have contact on the frame, body and motor area and even perhaps the alternator it self, a uneven electronic flow of electrons between the ground and positive areas will...

Just do what I did on my shelter - rolled on the Herculiner and spray or apply another component or paint over the base at which time you get the best of both worlds - durability and strength with the Herculiner and comfort or lack of heat from from a lighter colored paint ( the best thing I...

Bill was great guy and there was nothing he didn't know about mules, he will be sadly missed.

Talked to a couple of guys at Sparta vehicle maintenance facility and they said -same motor oil in the engine and trans 15-40 unless its extremely cold then they use 10 w. Checked with the guys who did it for a living and worked on these trucks ( right from the source ). Did all of my trucks...

Good to know, talked to someone who sells military tires recently and he stated that the availability of the 49 inch tires are almost near the end and whats out there are from the destroyed and parted out trucks. He also said there are plenty of 46 inch tires in the system and depending on...

Kenny your always invited - even Dave B is going and I understand a couple of club members are also going - should be a lot of fun

Designed and built it myself- with a cutting torch and a welder - what is visualized, obtainable and needed can be built. The power sources 1) the 160 amp alternator- through a battery isolator - with a dedicated feed to the rear of the truck into a polarized HD connector into a battery box...

Good thing you changed the dates- a bunch of us are going to Ohio, and would have really missed going to johns place as always - great time and fantastic food. You all ways can count on us ( Northern Illinois contingent ) to find a good party. And john yours are the best.

That really sad to hear- fixed a lot of them for members in the area.

Did the same upgrade to one of my M923a2 - installed a Delco Remy 160 amp alternator to the system to provide additional power to my 12 volt, 160 amp alternator for the 3500 LB crane and electrical components needed for some of the devices I have installed. The reasoning for the the battery...

Talked to Glen in Kansas, he is getting 700 trucks - all to be parted out - I'm sure you'll get a good deal - the hard part is to arrange transportation of the engine back to your location.- good luck.

Pretest and the check the levels - all of them including axles and and don't for get tire pressure- just got back from Knob creek in Kentucky for the gun shoot 400 miles on way with my M923a2 and m798 bolster trailer with shelter mount on it. Just bring the right tool and supplies.

You probably want 11 or 12 tires so you have a spare or two. The spare on your truck looks like it's a michellen xzl, so you have total of 7 tires.

You have Goodyear at-2a's on your truck now, your looking for g-177's. I have swapped these tires out many times, to lower a 931a2 so that it can pull a civilian semi trailer. It will lower your trucks fifth wheel height about 2 inches. The duals are 4 inches smaller then the super singles. You...

Back home and planing for next next year - always a great time and the weather was fantastic - found a couple of good deals, and as usual didn't bring enough $$$.
