It's almost impossible to replace a major component in the brake system without getting air into the system. I would highly recommend bleeding the whole system. I built a pressure bleeder out of a cheap chemical sprayer, and bleeding the entire system is a one man job that takes about 15...

I ran into that problem. Go to your local hardware store and buy some wooden wedges used to level door frames. Use 1 or 2 of the wedges to separate the halves. A couple of light taps with a hammer on the wedge, and my piston halves popped right apart. The felt strip is the right one. It only...

Thanks. I'm doing the same thing with my civvy truck, and I haven't got that far yet.

Which electric fuel pump are you going to use? I read somewhere that the electric pump from the electronically injected engine makes too much pressure for the mechanical injector pump. I don't know whether or not it's true.

Those boys bear a resemblance to Dad in that picture. I'm glad everybody got to go out there with you. Scott

You could go with a standard replacement (about $350 on line, 5 or 6 years ago) and an aftermarket transmission cooler. Talk to your local transmission man for size requirements. You want the tranny fluid to go through your aftermarket cooler and then through the radiator, so the tranny doesn't...

We tried to slave m813rc's V-100 when it tossed the alternator belt and got the same results. He swapped the leads on the slave port in the truck. The thought that the adapter might be backward never occurred to me. Scott

Sounds like you'll have it ready by Veteran's Day. Are y'all going to be there this year? Scott

A grand idea! I need to find them on the web, to see if they will ship. I missed the Temple air show last year, as I was in Chicago for training. And I do mean I missed it! I'm already excited about next year's show. Scott

Picked up a 1989 M105A2 from Hooks on Friday, 8-17. That was my scheduled day off from work, which was good, but the only schedule pickups until noon on Fridays, which is not good, because it's a 6 hour drive from suburban Austin. So I borrowed my dad's 1 ton Chevy, and the wife and I left the...

on Friday, 8-17, I picked up my latest M105 trailer from Hooks. My first time to pick up there. Miranda was very patient and helpful on the phone, walking me through the process, and giving accurate directions......twice........when I left my notebook at home. The whole process was quick and...

Holy Moley! Is that the window in his truck?

Welcome from suburban Austin! As you've noticed, there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here. Good luck in your pursuit of a 5 ton. Scott

That's absolutely normal for an old 6.2. Scott

Pawnshop's locale is pretty darn incorporated...unlike my house. Scott

Welcome to the site. You're welcome to join us at Lone Star MVPA. We meet at Camp Mabry, Austin on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. lonestar-mvpa.org Scott

He couldn't see it. IT'S CAMO!!!!!!!!!!!!:-P

Wreckerman, I am sorry about Elmo, and I hope he turns up. You guys did a great job, and we had an absolute blast, in addition to contributing to the local economy. A lot. It's 0645 now, and we're scheduled to start moving at 0700. We're going to stop by the hall and see if any vehicles are...

Maybe he just went to visit that cute little TV reporter. Couldn't blame him..........

We are leaving Liberty Hill (sub-suburban Austin) Texas about 0700 Wednesday. Should be in Huntsville around 2200 hours. Looking forward to meeting everyone. I'll be wearing a "Lone Star MVPA" T-shirt. Scott
