1) This is not the threaded end of a broken bolt, that you can then unscrew by turning that nut with a wrench. 2) The broken piece does not protrude from the housing; there is a risk to weld all three parts together. 3) If the welding doesn't hold you will have a "hard" time to get a tap in...

Locating pin for front axle spring seat. Since this isn't a part you would find in the manuals I made a quick drawing, for anyone to see the dimensions of that locating pin. (below...) If I had this issue (Valence's) I would look for a new replacement pin, or simply make one, out of a short...

You should be good with 10-11 inches. And even with less - once you can reach and unscrew the caps-crews holding the deep-sump pick-up tube to the oil pump and engine block (LDS), everything will come out easily. "Make a mess with oil...?" Why so? There shouldn't be much oil left in the pan...

:ditto: And usually when they guess it's more then the real weight, not less! G.

Thank you...! That orifice shown there is never "open"- should not, at least! It either comes with a plug already, or you will find a std. grease fitting there. And sometimes its just the remnants of such... (some "mechanics" seem to prefer just that spot, to place a jack there, without even...

Here... G.

Almost: the brake(shoe) return springs do exactly that: pull the shoes back against their regulators, after braking. While at rest, those return springs do nothing to keep those cups expanded. That is what I would try if the replacement cups you can get had the lips chamfered, to more or less...

Here is another one to compare... G.

That is not correct: in any case, when you step on the brakes it is the fluid under pressure that forces the lip of the cup against the cylinder wall and makes it seal. The extra part you see on the right are cup expanders, yes, but the only force applied to them- with brakes applied or...

No, you are not alone! And you should be happy that everything cleared US-Customs, at least. Believe me, that could end being the real nightmare...! Murphy is omnipresent, indeed! G.

Anyone in "need" of a brand new hood for his M939 series truck?? I have two of them, still in the crate and taking up too much space in my storage container, in Ringgold/GA. $125 each, if you pick this up (1/2 a mile from Exit 345 on I-75). G.

Stamped on... 12-bolt wheels: Max. Load 3400 lbs; Max. Tire Pressure 50 psi. 24-bolt wheels: Max. Load 4540 lbs; Max. Tire Pressure 65 psi. The only problem/risk that could arise- and possibly the reason they say to only use the 24-bolts- is if your BFG's are the heavy duty version, Load...

Kblazer87 is correct, bolt pattern is the same for all: 8 on 6.5". Also true that one should be able to find a good set of 4 tires/wheels for less $$$. And personally I'd much prefer the 24-bolt wheels over the 12-bolts; they are stronger and have a better valve stem. G.

I'm almost sure that in the later 60's they came with DANA 27/44 axles and the diff. ratio was 4.27:1 G.

Maybe yes.... ? I just don't think that 22 gpm is that much, considering the size of our engines. For reference, a stock Chevy-sbc oil pump puts out 18 gpm @ 3000 rpm and the same but with a high vol. pump, will flow more or less what the book says a std. Multifuel pump does. (HDO-30 at 180º @...

Life isn't fair: more we learn, more Qs. we have... :confused: :) Seems like "trial-and-error" - combined with collective experience may take us furthest, in this case...? Anyone else here, running these twin-nozzles in their Multi's please report back results! G.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! 1) No "Kabels" anywhere, between fuel injectors and fuel tank... 2) If you want to be helped you need to be a bit more precise describing that part. Why not start downloading and reading all the good books in this section... Then post lots of questions - and...

I just weighed those two to compare and can confirm now that there is no change in mass really: LDT piston #11668483, 4 rings & solid pin = 3196 g LDS piston #12380090, 3 rings & solid pin = 3206 g. The difference of only 10 g (= 0.3%) could well be within production tolerances, IMO. I also...
