I was renewing my drivers license a few years back and noticed the signs that told what each room was were also in braille but they were located about 7 foot high. What the crap?

Not sure what they might charge you. You might want to look the parts up on NAPA or O'Reilly website for a 1984 K5 Blazer. The labor shouldn't be more than an hour or so to replace the tie rods and adjuster sleeves. It's a fairly easy process if you are replacing the sleeves at the same time.

If the alignment guy was trying to turn the tie rod adjustment sleeves and they were seized, that is not unusual. I run in to that all the time on Mercedes. I would say it would be more common on a these CUCV's because they sat for long periods of time and most of them have such low mileage that...

Back in '05 I was traveling a lot with my business (38000 miles in 4 months). A guy told me that transfer tanks were illegal in Massachusetts. I never verified that and I never got pulled over. Not like the tank was hidden. It stuck way up in plain site in the bed of the pickup.

I'm familiar with the lawsuit. I actually got a settlement on a 78 Chevy pickup I still own (parts truck). They awarded me $100 towards the purchase of a new truck. WOW, how generous. The award was not redeemable for cash, and I could not afford a new truck, so I was SOL. I looked at your link...

If I were you, I would add a factory auxiliary tank on the passenger side, then a factory rear mount 25 gallon tank (LMC Truck part # 32-5943) where the spare tire goes. That way you would have 65 gallon capacity and still be able to use the bed. I'm thinking that in a SHTF situation, you are...

I am sorry for your loss, however, I do believe the good Lord works in mysterious ways. Looks like He sent this truck your way so that you could fulfill your son's dreams. It is probably not just a coincidence that the kid's name was also Nicholas. Good luck with the new '09.

I just filled up today and calculated 15.1 mpg's on my 1008 at max speed 60 mph city driving. I was hauling junk engines etc. to the scrap yard this week, four loads, about 50 mile round trip each load with about 800 pounds extra weight one way. My normal load is about 380 pounds over curb...

So.....with three full time jobs, when do you find time to sleep? Just curious.

Couldn't you use an old water heater tank to heat the oil?

Just got my tag yesterday. It was $20.00 tag fee and $2.99 Ad Valorem tax. The tag was due on my birthday 12/31 but I didn't get to the tag office last week. They didn't even charge me the $10.00 penalty like they usually do when you're late. The title fee was $18.00 when I originally registered...

Do you tell that to ALL the girls?

I would like to have the bucket seats in my M1008 but my Dog would not like it one darn bit. Over 2/3rds of the seat is his. I only get to use a small portion of the left side when He rides with me.

I would love to have a M1010 box for my M1008. I don't want the walk through, I would just patch the hole on the box. I do mobile repair and used parts sales and think the Ambulance box would be cool. I don't really care for the Maintenance truck body.

Just Dashes has a gauge conversion for 73-87 Chevy/GMC trucks. It includes a large tach where the fuel gauge normally is and a full gauge set up including a relocated fuel gauge for the holes on the left. I am not sure if the tach works on diesels. I have been meaning to call them and ask but...

Thanks. I thought I had looked in both. Sorry, I guess I just didn't look hard enough.

I like it. The dual rear wheels fit under the bed nicely. Must have been a stake body with narrow rear end instead of the wider rear end like on a dually pickup.

I am looking for some alternator pulleys for the 100 amp units on the CUCV's for a project I am working on with another member. I looked in the parts TM and could not find a part number. They do not show a parts breakdown for the alternator in the TM, just the complete unit. Does anyone know a...

There are two slots in the fuse panel (maybe three). Anyway, one is hot all the time, the other is key on hot. I had my add on cig. lighter socket (cell charger and Garmin use) plugged into the key on hot, then I discovered the slot that was hot all the time, so I changed it to that one so I...

I would say that pulling everything apart would work best. It would allow you to tap the metal rail onto the glass (as another member stated) much easier. I know it is a pain but I think the results will be much better if you do it this way. That is the way we did it years ago. If I remember...
