If I understand the engineering intent of the heavy wall spacer correctly; it allows for a little flex without accumulated stress cracking the frame (Just like the ones for the bolts on the steering gear box protect the frame). I'd go to a Chevy or GM truck dealer and look over the parts...

I seem to remember the M880 family had a 2x4. Maybe he's thinking of that? Lance

Good job! It's also good to see the youngsters pitching in. Do you have access to a place where they can get some wheel time? Lance

A high leverage hand tool will set you back around $300 with a single mandrel. You can get any kind of thread-sert you want if you hunt hard enough. I use aluminum, steel or stainless inserts depending on application and even have some for blind holes (including in thick Lexan) If you can get...

I'm in! Chris and I will be down from central New York for the four days. We' really looking forward to it. Probably bring a deuce. I think we'll drag down the pioneer trailer with a generator, tools, gas air compressor. The son who was thinking of coming up from Fort Lauderdale will...

As stated, the full braking ability will be there without air. It will take as much as 10 times the pedal pressure and all bets are off if the brakes have a major leak or they are otherwise inop. Lance

I suspect none of them deal with the initial installation. If a winch was added after manufacturing the truck, the winch kit would likely have come with a cut sheet set of installation instructions just like a heater, hard top, air shift transfer kit etc. If you have or can borrow a winch...

The basic adjustment procedure is to tighten the nut (I can't remember if it's a full or half turn at a time) until it holds the specified load on a slope. It goes on to state that if the brake cover gets warm to loosen the brake (again, I can't remember how much) It's covered in the -10...

I've gotten confirmations from some folks that they are coming to this meeting. If I haven't heard from you and you plan on coming, please let me know by Saturday, 8 Aug. Thanks Lance

If it only makes the noise and vibration under load, I'd suspect an internal issue. Before pulling it and tearing into it though, you may want to try this: On the front driver side (at the end of the worm shaft) is a cover for a band drag brake that is supposed to hold the load and keep the...

Check the tie rod ends and steering link. 1/16" is the max play allowed. Jack up each front wheel. Give them a solid shake from the top and bottom and from the front and back. There should be no appreciable chuckling. While the driver side is up (engine off, column unlocked), have a...

Sounds like they may be the trim vane float for a M113A3 or similar? Lance

PM sent.

Does any one know if these will fit over 11.00R20 XLs? The XLs shine off road but, like just about anything else, they don't handle ice too well. Lance

There's a 100% chance. We don't grow it but a lot of our neighbors grow sweet corn and the first of it is starting to come in. Lance

I look forward to seeing you. I'll call about the transfer case. Lance

Are they the single or dual tire kind? Same GA rally question. Lance

Ditto, please. Thanks Lance

The Easy Company, NY-PENN Military Vehicle Collectors Club meeting on 09AUG09, originally planned to be held at Jack and Angie's, will be here at our farm. We're about 3 miles from their place. We're about half-way between Auburn and Skaneateles and about 12 minutes from the Weedsport exit...

I'm looking for a good take out or NOS transfer case as near to central New York as I can find one. Please PM me with details, location and mileage on the T-case. Thanks Lance
