I agree. I was doing the change to avoid the corrosion and failures on the plow truck. After spending a few times up under a plow truck at -10* in a snow pile doing in line splices I decided this was the better way. So far I have it on 3 plow trucks and have never had any issues. These trucks...

Meet Mr Rusty | Page 13 | SteelSoldiers I had people on this site say they wouldn't hold up. They said the heat was to high. I prevailed and 3 years later they still look the same. Granted I haven't done any interstate driving but pulling wood trailer and plowing snow in my world creates more...

Mr. Rusty has been serviced and released for another year of hard work. And YES the hydraulic hoses I used as transmission cooler lines still look like the day I installed them. High and dry. I ran them over top of the transmission. Meet Mr Rusty | Page 13 | SteelSoldiers

SSDVC I thought I gave you that tool. I used to buy them on the Snap-On truck for like $8. and give them to friends that had the cowl screen all chewed up from using pry bars and screw drivers to remove the arms. WTF. The truck in the picture was repainted and they did not even bother to...

Mr. Rusty has returned. I have him here for annual maintenance and Mr. Rusty rusted more over the past year. Mention was made by a friend that they would like to have this truck and do a frame off on it. I looked at him and said GOOD FLUCKING LUCK. I had it apart 7 years ago and the frame was...

OK. That worked for me. May not work for you. Experiment with it. See where it runs the best. Move it a small bit at a time.

What happened to small town auto parts stores? At one time a man could go to work and come home from work eat supper and stop and buy some auto parts up till 7PM. Saturday you were good till 2. Now the parts stores are down to one in the town, and they close at 5 M - F and 12 on Saturday. People...

Did you try to move the injection pump to the driver's side 2-line thicknesses? You have nothing to lose. I thought it was crazy and I done it on my M1009. It ran perfect.

I posted a deal for you in the PM. Let me know if that is doable. I like trading for things.

I have a stock sway bar if you need one. I hope they saved the brackets and did not torch the bolts out of the clamping plates. If they did I have them also. Time to liquidate. 1 piece at a time.

Do you need that return line that runs across the front of the timing cover connecting the return lines from both heads? It has a nipple on top also. I have it. Let me know your plan.

Show me this line.

The job is done. I had a friend that had a friend that had these marvelous tools. In 10 minutes I had all the lug studs/bolts off the VW. After that I was Fahrvegnugen. But I quickly came to my senses and recovered from that illness quickly. Take Care and have a great day. My Son is going to do...

I sent you a text early this AM. I will check out the list of parts you need. The transmission cooler lines can be repaired. If they cut them at the radiator I would cut them back a few inches and use a double flair connection splice, new line and new flare nuts to attach to the radiator. I am...

GMC Ford Dodge Chevy Dana 60 70 Alignment Kingpin | McBay Performance I spoke with a freind about this years ago and he said that the wobble was not caused by caster camber adjustment but toe in and out. And also loose steering linkage. He is the man that gave me the insight to the issue and I...

As a final recommendation I would double check the steering box and make sure the frame is not cracked and the bolts on the steering box are tight. I only ever had 1 broken frame and that was on an M1009 with a snow plow and bound up front axle U joints. I used the Off Road Design weld on frame...

I probably have all the fuel and brake lines you mentioned and have stored them for 25 years. So they are clean. Let me know if I can help. I have been using hydraulic hose run over top of the transmission for trans cooler lines. They have been on a few plow trucks and I have had no failures to...

I have encountered this on a few trucks I owned over the years. My experience has been that once you have a truck that has the issue it is fairly easy to repair. he cost is relatively less than $300. First thing is to eliminate that the tires are not causing the issue. Many times if I had a...

Strange as it may sound after all these years I never added anything to my CUCV fuel tank except diesel, heating oil and on occasion contaminated fuel from over the road trucks that drivers added DEF to the fuel. I would get it for free in a 330 gallon tote and let it sit and pump the fuel off...

I probably have more than 1 of them M1008/ M1031 filler neck and hose assemblies. Let me know. I know I scrapped a few of them trucks over the years.
