    Brake light/turn signal...same?

    The brake "signal" is routed through the turn signal switch, so depending how it is designed, it will or will not override the turn signal(s). Rory above is correct as far as the deuce goes and that is the way it should work anyway.

    You are welcome! When you get to be my age, you'll have plenty of info accumulated too. :-)

    Proper way to tie down cover

    Do a search in the PS magazine section (still old site) with keyword "tie" for several hits. Seems like a lot of the new PS mag articles are reprinted from the originals several decades earlier. :-)

    modern tire size conversion for 14.00x24 tires

    I have similar issues with tires for the 8x8, the best replacement seems to be "grader" type tires, mainly because of the 70% aspect ratio. Speed rating may be a problem only when tire is loaded to the max. It's hard to find good answers to tire questions IMHO. Many more choices in Europe it...

    Upgrade brake switch vs old style switch

    These images should help. Note: The new switch will only work when the air pressure is up. The old one worked whenever the brake pedal was depressed (hydraulic). Issue with the old switch may be the pressure rating, should be 3,000 psi minimum....

    M35A1 starting issues, with vid for diagnosis

    Check the fuel filters, there is a bypass valve on the filter bracket, so you'll have a return flow even when the filters are blocked.

    STE/ICE connector Tach Reading

    Just guessing here, but if the signal is capacitively coupled, you may have better luck using an AC scale on your meter.

    Running gas in a multifuel engine

    Biodiesel and/or veggie oil mixed with whatever fuel is in the tank will also help reduce emissions if they actually measure the pollutants, that is.

    Eastern Surplus - Super Single Rims-

    I have thought about having two Schrader valves per tire to speed up airing up or down. Just a more compact version of the dual air chuck set-up shown in an earlier post. The compressor can handle it. (Don't install a Schrader valve in the air feed, that would defeat the advantage) and, oh, nice...

    Good picture of the articulating rear! Do the tires always pick up that much mud?

    With the quantity of goods coming out of China, they'll soon be producing the best quality of just about anything with the experience gained, just look at Japan....

    oil filter gasket poblems still

    It's interesting how all the information is to be found in various places in the TMs, but rarely all in one place. The "60 lb-ft" came from a 3rd manual.... Notice that the edge of the canister should be inspected also. Practice makes perfect.

    A little help bitte!

    If you are referring to the low pressure fuel lines, here is the breakdown and NAPA should have all the parts including the plastic lines (ask for "air brake" tubing). I wouldn't use anything on the high pressure steel line compression fittings, doesn't take much to clog up the injectors. Just...
