    Tire/Wheel Covers.

    My thought is that I 2x's a year spray the tires with tire protection. Sold everywhere but read the labels to see what you are getting. I don't care about the shiny thing but want the chemical to protect to be absorbed. Does it work? I have no clue but it can't hurt and does not kill the bank.......

    5/8" Ballistic Windshield - Impulse Buy turns Cluster #$@&

    @Action has posted in the past that he provides a service to de-laminate the plastic layer off if that allows you to flip the glass and use them both sides. It will also save you headaches down the road when they turn cloudy. You will not have the safety layer but do you expect to be shot at?

    M101 NOS trailer cover

    One easy mod is to use rubber rope on all the grommets in a continuous loop like the cargo covers on military trucks to avoid the sag.

    Calipers Stuck

    symptoms you describe would cause me to first bleed all 4 ports in correct sequence and confirm you are getting fluid flowing out then trouble shoot from there. Sounds to me like a master cyl internally bypassing or proportioning/equalizing block problem. One caliper can be sticking but would...

    M1097A1 Steering Gear Box

    Call me old school, but I prefer to run a pitman arm nut by hand via wrench or socket as I am paranoid the impact hits can cause seal problems over time. I have no scientific or real world failure to back that up but just my feeling and seeing how little that rubber lip is can cause problems...

    M1097A1 Steering Gear Box

    Have you used a pitman arm puller ? Not a bearing puller. Pitman arm jaws are fixed. Autozone and oreilly have them in their loaner tools. Soak the splines with pb blaster. Lisle and Otc make hd ones also.

    M1082 Spring brake valve leaking air...is it rebuildable

    Is it a haldex valve? If so, look up the part number on their website and typically will list a rebuild kit if available. Possibly bendix also might be available.
