    Suggest you bring the part to a heavy duty truck parts house, they should have one in stock.

    Blending colors for touch up

    The problem with that approach is that the new paints will be just that, new. No fading. The computer match will match the existing fading.

    Blending colors for touch up

    Bring a sample of each color you wish to match to Sherwin Williams and have them match it with the computer color match scanner. 1 quart of Superpaint in flat should get you going for both shades. Incredible Jeep you have there, like 20 years of markings showing through.

    M916 Novice!

    My battery box is wired up just like yours. The huge cables are 24 volt plus and minus, and the little 6 ga ? wire is 12 volt. You can omit connecting the slave receptacle if you don't have a use for it. Use the same stud top 31s you have now. The TM will tell you to use 4 ea 12 volt...

    M1151 w/4L80E wont shift

    The transfer shift mechanism external to the transfer is about as simple as can be. If the pictured items are free to move, the problem is inside the transfer which is a bad thing. Time for more investigation.

    M1151 w/4L80E wont shift

    We can help you. It is not clear to me from your narrative whether you are having transmission engagement or transfer case engagement issues. Can you elaborate? Two entirely different diagnostic paths.

    Need help with power steering issue from hell

    Sounds like you have done an exceptional job at isolating the problem to the Saginaw gear.

    264Charlie's M51A2

    Your truck has a multfuel engine essentially the same as “deuce” trucks. The engine shut off system has probably dozens of threads on here as it causes issues.

    M38A1 jeep

    Welcome and sorry about your loss. You have an immaculately restored example there, value $15 to 20k. Consider a collector car auction or Hemmings Motor News for marketing. Maybe Ebay.

    There is just Weebee Webbing and Beachwood Canvas that make repro mil canvas other than New Life.

    264Charlie's M51A2

    Dump trucks are always worth more assembled than in parts. Wow the picture you first posted sure did look good except for the ridiculous stenciling. They call that “lacquer overhaul” in the construction equipment biz.

    GMC M211 Soft Top Help

    Once the canvas cotton duck material is dry rotted it is garbage. It will tear easily in the wind. Best to get a reproduction top and keep it out of the weather.

    M1083 '98 Alternator/regulator troubleshoot.

    Suggest you check the connections on the reverse polarity protection device under the spare tire. Also verify that the excite voltage coming from the oil pressure switch is constant.

    M1083 '98 Alternator/regulator troubleshoot.

    What year is your truck? It’s not a 1988.

    Can’t manually rotate engine

    I don’t agree with your diagnostics. You don’t have to put the crankshaft in any specific location to replace the injection pump.
