    FMTV Brake dust shield

    We have both covered and un covered brakes in our fleet. On my lmtv I have left mine open much easier to clean mud and dirt out and when the brakes freeze up in the overnight blizzard they thaw with a space heater faster. Just my 2 cents I live in the arctic and these are air brake lessons I...

    LMTV brake dust shield

    Ive had the same problem I have trucks with covers in the fleet, it doesn't help much if any thing makes problems worse. I like leaving the covers off makes brakes easy to clean and get heat on with a space heater when its cold out.

    Lakewood WA m1078A1 retrieval

    I did pick up on a non running rig Justin who is the yard supervisor there was a lot of help he let me do diagnostics and repair there and even had one of his guys pull the caging pins once I had it started. Justin is a top notch guy and will be a valued resource to you when doing the pickup.

    Performance: 3116 vs 3126 and WTECII vs WTECIII

    The electronic engines can have better performance, but it comes at an expense. the 3116 engine in my opinion is a much more affordable engine and really all I need. All the 3000 series transmissions are reliable the newer models do seam to be smoother as they shift.

    Best Civi 2 inch hitch?

    Thats the problem with those universal hitches they never fit quite right and sometimes hang pretty low. The drawtite will fit under the bumper tight and hold more weight than a blazer can safely pull.

    Best Civi 2 inch hitch?

    my suggestion would be to go with a direct fit drawtite hitch. You can pick up a class 3 or 4 receiver at u haul and other dealers. In another life when I was younger I did hitch installation's and the draw tites had the best fit and quality.

    Another Newbie Post - M1078 General Misc and Drive Train Conversation

    going to a smaller tire diameter will lower your gear ratio and suck up all the gains you got from the high speed gear set there are wide duplex tires out there the ctis would have to be defeated to accommodate 22.5 wheels also the off set might not be quite right. the good year tires have the...

    Rear wheel single out w/out flipping hubs

    On a duce the out side wheel will set about a half tire width wider than the front and the inside sits a half width narrower when you flip the hubs there will still be a little offset difference because the steering axle is a little wider but I think it was only 1/4 inch or less. the reason for...

    Propane Carb Conversion, Hobart Welder/Wisconsin Engine

    Those welders have a control box that if frequency gets to high or low they will blow the box and parts are not available anymore and that was back in the late 80's. when they run right they are an awesome welder, but I like the diesel models much better.
