    Historical Responsibility?

    Being in NY, and realizing what the salt does to our trucks, wondering if you plan to store it in the winters to hide it from the rust Monster? If not, then it won't much matter. In a few years it will be sacrificed anyways. If it was me, I would love a beautiful 1008 to do nothing but keep...

    Yet More coolant issues! 84' M923

    You can force the fan on. Put the locking bolts in, and see what happens. If that cools you back down, then you have it narrowed down. Interesting though that the oil and tranny temps are not rising with the coolant. Are you driving the truck to get it hot, or is it running up static...

    Beat to heck GovPlanet Humvee

    Sure you do if its mis-represented, and they don't allow previews. That's not buyer beware, that's fraud.

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    I gotta tell you Kenny, having the bed sides even with the rear dual width will look so much more "professional" than wheel flares after the fact. Or is it wider than the duals? Its hard to tell from that one pic. Def a great project!

    Can someone explain these brake canister bolts to me?

    The bolt indicates that someone caged that brake can. For some reason. Need to uncage it (take the bolt out) and see if it is operating properly. With only one you will probably find that can has got a problem.

    CUCV Desert Restoration Wheel Color

    On tan trucks the tan rims look way better. Most that I've seen that were desert painted got tan rims. Green trucks look better with black rims.

    Also the air compressor can make a very pronounced knock. Does it go away when full air is there?

    923a1 no start

    The PCB and ABS both ground at the PCB mounting studs. Take all four out, and clean all surfaces especially of PAINT. A floating ground there will cause all kinds of problems. I have found two out of three had paint still on the spacers of the studs which caused bad grounds.

    Go to each pic in your phone and "edit" the pic. Crop it ever so slightly and no more problem after you save the pic.

    Use of Diesel 911, fuel gummed up and engine knock w/o power

    I use 911 religiously. Tractors, trucks everything. Never had a single problem ever. I think it helped uncover some other issue that has sat dormant previously. If this stuff was so bad there would be ALOT if broke down trucks.
