    M923 13 Speed Swap

    Heat (around 230 F and some penetrating oil. Try just hammering on it to help break the rust loose and let the oil soak in. i ran into seizing issue with my water pump. Heat beat and oil worked, especially after i broke a flange and exposed the oring. Them it didnt matter, i was forced to heat...

    M931a2 cooling issue

    Not that i could see. Seemed to have been just corroded in place. The new 1 went in with no issues. Im thinking bout drilling and tapping to use the 2 short bolts as a jack bolt.

    M931a2 cooling issue

    After more heat and beat, i broke an ear off, but noticed it starting move outward, so i proceeded to beat on the pulley till it fell out. The new went in no problem, but i lubed it with an anti-seize compound, along with the mount bolts. Next thing to clean will be the filling tank. Ill take...

    M923 13 Speed Swap

    yes sir, i can make out the spacer. well, if that swap works for you w/o a lot of major driveline modifications (xmsn to xfr case and xfr back to fwd axle), i'll try and locate 1 of those xmsns and take some measurements and make sure it'll fit in my 936A2. i truly hate automatic xmsns enough...

    M923 13 Speed Swap

    then by those numbers, they are the same distance from block to aft face of housing. Unless with the spacer, its 6” total.

    M923 13 Speed Swap

    Boy if they dont find a way to screw it up between models. I wonder if machining the bell housing (if the bolt holes are deep enough) down would allow the 2 to be mated up. Any idea how much deeper the bell housing is? Actually, how deep is a 250 housing? Ill go measure my housing.

    My awesome new PLATINUM motor oil!!!! Now my engine is making the bad noises.

    Thats not a bad price. Is he gonna give the rest of the eng a good look over just so you dont have an issue a few miles down the road? You just fix on that one cyl or yank all of them and replace what is needed?

    Coolant component builds

    what are you calling constant tq clamps? The rolled ends are $7 and the 90 is $27. The rolled end couplings/necks are 0.057” thick, and im not sure how easy stainless will bend compared to say exhaust/muffler pipe for cars and small tcks/suvs. If it bends as easy, then yes sir, 1 pipe bent to...

    M936 Wrecker, Tires and Spare

    i used to have a hydraulic stanley rescue chain saw. I was told it was used by tapping in to an acft hydraulic system to be used for rescue by the first acft on the scene.

    M936 Wrecker, Tires and Spare

    that is definitely a modded truck id much rather have compared to my A2. Esp free spool rear and different boom winch. Iv thought bout yarding the bed off the parts truck and putting a civi crane, riggers and bed on it.

    M936 Wrecker, Tires and Spare
