    rattle noise. worse when warm

    muffler and heat shield are things to also look at again video time the ip would be the last thing I would look at if it were making noise the quill shaft would likely break first. I have seen db2's break the shaft just from running out of fuel. a good way to find it is with a cheap craftsman...

    rattle noise. worse when warm

    Makes me wonder about timing chain. You should shoot a video and post it so we can maybe hear the noise. Usually when the pump goes bad, it happens right now.

    wont help,electric fans just cant make the volume needed.ram air is intended to take in cool clean air, in theory moving air holds less particulate matter than stale air that isn't moving,say like from under the hood

    it depends upon if you have aviation head sets or commercial head sets the impedance is different which in tern dictates which com box you must buy. if you have to buy the aviation stuff its going to be expensive.

    Rear brake lock up question? M1009

    I've chased this situation several times. the problem is in your parking brake cable its corroded and not fully releasing. you can check this by having some one pull the brake release, while you use a prybar to push back on the levers on each shoe my guess is they will release a little more one...

    Talk to me about getting an M1078...

    the non runners that don't sell do get cannibalized. But there are a lot of non runners that just need a little work to put them back on the road those should be suitable for work. a popular auction site has a truck running ready to work with a max bid of 5500 bucks on it right now there are...

    drivers usually get into trouble with forward control vehicles because your visual reference points are different when making turns, and they cut corners rubbing up against stuff

    I can safely say it will turn as tight as my 89 dodge pickup standard cab long bed. overall length is about the same as a cab and half long bed pickup. the truck is noticeably wider than a pick up or duce.

    Jd 6101 or 6125 repower in m939

    I would go bc400 and auto trans from a 915 of course you might also want a t case upgrade as the 250 was able to split the case a 400 will certainly be able to do it. I'm not brand loyal they all make me money I like the idea of doing something different using a deere motor would be cool.

    you are right about my experience I did how ever examin it through gp pics I did not have the luxury of a 2 thousand dollar ticket to see it in person. my experience in working third shop also helped me a lot to get an idea what I was getting into. the gp rep let me know I stole it. the fact...

    I should also add there is no reason to shorten the wheel base any more, they turn pretty tight as they are. any shorter you might find you have stability issues in high speed emergency maneuvers just like the old jeep cj5

    I paid 6 k for mine it was a non runner I expected the worst found the problem to be a cannibalized relay box took me about 15 minutes to get it started. as others stated I looked real hard to make Shure every thing was there. in the end I came out with a nice platform to mount a gigantic...
