    Air Filter Question

    Just fyi, If you do have a USMC truck with the fording kit, That is another piece of the puzzle with the vent lines as they are all hooked up together along the way.

    Air Filter Question

    Is it a USMC truck with a fording kit? Sounds like an issue with the vent lines sucking fluid as they are not supposed to do that. Check your fluid level and condition to your Transmission, differential & Transfer Cases. A known issue is called the vampire...

    Continental hcs 14r20?

    That is pretty cool tool and time saver! I know, I installed some hubcaps on fmtv wheels and bought a die nut to clean the threads for the rim halves. This tool would have made that a snap and to also clean the mounting studs just makes good sense. I think everyone in our hobby needs one of...

    ball joint removal

    There is 2 styles of them made. Originally a pitman arm tool and then they changed the width and it can be also used for some control arms to get to the ball joint if it fits. The other picture posted of the "clothes Pin" type with the threaded bolt/rod is one of the newer styles that does not...

    ball joint removal

    Since these are bolt on and not press on Ball joints, you will not need the press. Typically the ball joint fork is one size and wider than a tie rod fork. If you have an auto zone or O'reilly 's close by, they will loan you the tool for the deposit of the cost and will refund the deposit upon...

    crushable copper washers for M101a2 master brake cly

    The block is more specialized. Eaton/ Weatherhead/ Edelmann brass fittings would be the manufacturers to check. Croft might also carry the OE from Mendenhall who makes the surge unit. I only linked to O'reillys but I am sure Raybestos Catalog ( Supplies NAPA and most of the aftermarket) or web...

    crushable copper washers for M101a2 master brake cly

    Napa or any real parts store. These are common items for brake hoses typically on calipers as each side uses 2 . They do not have to be exact. As long as the banjo bolt passes through and the sealing surface contacts the ridges you can have some variance...

    Till Scar59 can get restocked, if you are in need check B -line. I checked with Josh and pricing is $85 plus shipping. No connection on my part but when I got my m923, they were the cheapest around. Looks like inflation and metal pricing had driven the cost up! Oil filter is extremely common...
