What is vinyl? PVC, same basic heat molded plastic pipes are made from but will 11 secret herbs and spices to make it flexible. For a while.. The baking sun heat and ultraviolet light bake these secret herbs and spices out of the plastic, turning it brittle and shrinking the mess. That new...

Single tone is stock. And it is a weak one. I have onboard air, be it the stock SECM air compressor and tank. It holds pressure so I installed a Klein air horn. Wired in a solenoid relay with hidden switch, runs stock horn when switch is off, air horn when on. I've got enough compressed air...

Zinc phosphate is a metal primer, save it for bare metal. Primer over bare needs sealing. Layers have purpose based on order of application. We were all beginners at one time. But never be afraid to ask for advice. There are many threads on using Home Depot Behr, a month's worth of...

Rusty primer over bare metal, then high build primer-sealer over all. Mist coat with flat black spray paint, not enough to cover, just a dusting. Then sand with 180 grit with orbital sander until scratches are gone. It is now ready for final finish. Washing between sanding will show...

A great looking $50 solution which seems viable with a bit of work: A good bit of work. I would grind out the bad vinyl and foam plus all vinyl around the bezels for proper inset fit. Sheet poly foam is available as hardened foam grinds rapidly. The fabric backed vinyl may not have enough...

Sealer is a high solids primer, useful if you have used coarse abrasive especially on body filler. I haven't done a full look into your process and just used your finished product. Definitely get some finer grit. Coarse open grit is for shaping and thick finish removal, once you get scratches...

Guess you still have power. Painting is all about prep, military paint jobs are much easier as 180 grit is the finest needed. It appears you didn't have the surface sealed which telegraphed the issue to the surface. Let it harden, then 180 grit sand smooth and try again. Once assembled, I...

Actually, the left combination light appears to be an M1031 style. Which is why I noticed it not.

I've bench tested. You need the regulator plug pigtail , a small 12 volt light bulb and a decent 12 volt battery. Plus wire. I chucked a rubber disk in an angle grinder to turn the pulley, direction matters not. Plug the regulator pigtail into the alternator. The white or #1 wire is...

Blackout marker lights are LED. One of the first applications.

No transfer case. Loading plate claims M1031, has 208 shifter and shorty round transfer case adapter. Probably a swapped door as data plate is 8800 lb GVW. No signs of SECM PTO install.

What fuse value? Glow plugs together draw over 100 amps cold.

Yes, the alternator with the red ring on the outer terminal is isolated negative. The other alternator has this terminal without any isolation so the case is now negative, making it a negative ground which is the driver side. The large black wire connecting to this terminal has its other end...

Backwards. Driver side is front battery. Right side alternator is back battery. The red wire with white stripe goes to the negative terminal on the alternator, this is the one flush on the back end of the alternator.

All vehicles are in short supply. And those with vehicles are testing the market with inflated prices as the future is concerned. There is an expanding market for vehicles without OBD ports, GPS tracking and Wi-Fi. It only takes one story of a vehicle being disabled because someone didn't...

As long as the bushing isn't missing segments, it functions as a stiffer race polyurethane 😉

This is the communication shelter version (M1028A2 or A3) with the 205 transfer case for PTO. I ran across TB 5-2520-551-24 that details installation of this kit. Quite extensive, it has the PTO, tandem hydraulic pump and air conditioning compressor, all PTO driven. Includes remote control...

Boots protect against stone impact damage which causes seal failure. Most aftermarket have external wipers to keep dirt away from seals. Rod down keeps seal saturated which may reduce nitrogen loss.

Last transmission I did was with a home made jack adapter. Only a 100 pound aluminium cased Ford F 150 manual. That would never work so I bought a proper adapter for standard trolley jacks. Cheap enough modifications are painless. Like blocks to make a 205 transfer case steady. One does not...
