I forgot to mention that the amount of space you would leave at the radiator cap depends on the amount of fluid in the system. Easiest way to quantify that is leave it several inches low and adjust when at running temp. Sorry I did not read the entire thread before. Good to hear all went well...

I assume you put a new or just cleaned/recored radiator in there?? If you put in a used unit you may have installed the problem. aua As far as the head gasket goes it may, or may not, blow steam out the exhaust depending on exactly how the gasket failed. It is possible you might see bubbles...

Just a comment A friend (Lloyd) had a 73 F250 Camper special. After I observed the bent up rear bumper on it he and I decided to replace it with an 8 inch tall structural steel beam. May have been 120 lbs. Lots of "momentum" in that thing. I have seen Lloyd driving, when he didn't know I was...

Get the same light fixtures your truck has on the rear and put them beside the four original signal lights. Make a T connector for the wires and connect them to the headlights on the front and the running light circuit on the rear "always on" circuit. Use a diode to tap both headlight circuits...

I have been repairing cars trucks equipment for 40+ years. I have not done this on an MV yet. Don't have the m35 or the m817 to go out and look at here. So I have to generalize a bit. Unless you are sure you can get satisfactory replacements for the nuts shear the lines off at the top of the...

I use papabear's idea. Always ask for a clear title in the seller's name. No money changes hands until you have examined the title! E

I could be misinformed... but I understand the military hummers were not legal to be used on any public roadway. No one is going to try to stop an in service US military vehicle. ;) However once "We the people" gain ownership "batten down the hatches and standby for foul weather"!! auaauaaua I...

If you remove the carb and rinse it out with carb cleaner and use, round, welding torch tip files you may get it working for next to nothing. Don't actually "file" the holes just pass the biggest one that will fit through easily once or twice. This is just to be sure you have clear holes. Some...

If your test at the starter was from the batt wire (large cable) to the small wire (from the starter button) you have done the same test both times from opposite ends of the same wires. If the "click" is conspicuously from the starter itself it still may not be a bad starter. Always start...

The one in the pictures is designed to pick up only the Gichner mobile units. The one that will move a standerd sea container is "M1022 Mobilizer". It is made by Gichner. If you want I can send you lots of info and brochures. I have sent them several emails trying to get parts for my M1022...

I assume you have completed the job by now. However there is an early model lock assy that uses a "push pin" to release the cyl. The hole you need to reach through to push the pin is not there until the cyl has been replaced the first time. You have to punch the hole your self. If you know...

I have mounted quite a few of these 20inch and bigger tires.auaaua It is quite a bit of serious effort. A few years ago I got the local truck shop to do a leak fix for me. $40.00 and 30 minutes later I was on my way home. :idea::grd::grd: If the prices stay like that I'll never mount another...

A fair # of these are sold at Ft Meade MD. Previews can only be done on tue-wed-fri. I believe that is correct. The site administrator is called Jason. He does know me generally. I have been there many times previewing stuff. I bought an M35A2, M103A1, and tractor trailer + trailer dolly...

I seem to have left this info out. WVO Designs - Engineering Waste Oil Solutions leon@wvodesigns.com 2053 Willowdale Ct, Mount Pleasant, SC 29466 e

Try this guy. I bought one because his prices are excellent. 3000+ Gs for $1100. NEW machine. Tell him I sent ya.

Forgot to mention this. When you go to preview the one you will bid on go through the "deliveries" entrance, not "main gate", where you will be able to talk to the personnel that will checking you in when you go to pick up your new prize. I am in No. Va. The base typically >takes< your...

You should always preview anything you buy from anybody! There could be any number of important parts missing. Always roll UNDER the unit to see that all of the drive line is actually there and in place. I would not be entirely surprised to see an ad that says "vehicle complete" when something...

After two or three email exchanges a certified letter from an attorney typically gets much more attention, much faster, than most any typical customer would. Maybe I am missing something here. The truck had a bent tie rod or two? In dollars that is a very small issue. If the rest of it was OK...

I live in Virginia so I can't speak for another state. I did look into driving a vehicle, that I don't have title to, on public roads. Virginia has a "one trip permit" that is good for 3 days. you can get over the internet. I believe it costs $5.00 It is a full page document you printout at...

I believe that is the one loosely described as a "B" block. Which happens to be a big block. The most typical sizes were 383 or 413 or 440. Can't imagine a reason that would make me put that much work into the swap. The diesel is more efficient (better mileage) and already there. Then again...
