Welcome! Got pics?

try some stuff called "Goof Off" use it lightly. You can get it at home defect.

Big horn...bison, some kind of horned creature. They were U..G..L..Y to work on. Oh yeah, there were alot of those V8 and V6 Cummins around. Thankfully, they are few and far between now, and I will disavow all knowledge of EVER knowing anything about them! BTW, did you haer Chrysler is putting a...

Kelly, they are cheap compared to an engine. If it's stuck, just pry the blasted thing out and get a new one. Saturn, Memphis, White Owl, Addirondak Dodge...and more have them. You gotta get a gasket any way. Besides, when you get it out, you'll know what the housing looks like, how the stat...

V/VT 555....555 CID V8 Very expensive to buy parts for, when you can find them. Getting harder to find someone who knows about them. The truck is VERY ugly to work on..I remember them too well. They were also fitted with a 903...903 CID V8.....shudderr!!! If memory serves me, that is a Dodge...

Digital camera, WIFI = instant pic of the part to the interested person! :)

Kelly, you should check out the latest MVM. There's an article on cooling systems and tips. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, you might want to get some of the 5/16 x 2 1/4 inch bolts b-4 you start your project!

A few of our local PDs have taken those trailers and turned them into Haz responce, swift water rescue, aux lighting/support, USAR equip/supply. Maybe one of your locals would be interested. I'd even mention donation to them. It would be a good write off.

I believe that 30 miles counts :driver: . You talked to someone in Ohio, form Texas :shock: ??!! Thats like 1200 miles, 1/3 the way across our nation!

I found a cable like that where the cables go thru the frame behind the battery box. It was a B+ cable :shock: , grommet had disappeared, later found it down the cable toward the starter. Also check at the starter, the B+ cable rubs on the frame on mine there too.

RE: trailor stuff Matt, you want the pintle loop that will slide into that huge receiver correct? If give me a measurement of the hole and how long it needs to be.

Nope, but I did when I did the head gaskets a month later! I was gonna suggest this thread to let you see the broken bolts, but I see you ahve already found it!

Kelly. The little hoses from the water manifolds to the intake manifold are 1 3/4. The stat comes out, it might be siliconed in. Use a nice sharp gasket scraper and clean the gasket off of the housing. You'll se a seam..aluminum housing, brass stat. Gently pry it out. Oh yeah. The 5/16 capscrews...

Have you thought about making the mount yourself then taking it to a radiator shop and let them install it?

Will it fit on a regular roll back like the size for a regular car/truck? I think I remember seeing a pic here of one on that kind of truck...I forget his name, he drove the Gamma Goat to Aberdeen and he just floated it in his pond. See if your local Ryder truck rental has a rollback they rent...

:ditto: The only ones I had any luck cleaning were the ones on the axles. If you can read them now, leave them alone. If they are illegable, just get new ones. Saturn Surplus has a bunch of them, Teds Trucks has some, Rod Shaver has them, but he is extremely hard to get ahold of. There are also...

Bjorn, Norm at Antelope Valley Truck and Equipment sells Aervoe paint. He lists the 997B in MVM, I know it's 3000 mi from you, but, if he has it....? If I remember correctly, he sells it for $3.95 a can...

Look around your local area for a heavy duty tow service..the guys who tow truck, busses, etc. They mosy likely have a Landoll trailer. It's a big roll back designed to carry big vehicles. 1000 mi, is that RT or one way? Does the goat run? nopics

Great lookin truck Devin! There's a guy by me that has a 404 with a radio box on it. He has some manuals in english. I'll ask him. He might know where to get a canvas/vinyl for for the rear. Also, Mercedes is the parent company for Freightliner now. You can get parts thru Freightliner if you...

800 - 825. Its a little 1/4 inch screw with a lock nut toward the front of the throttle arm. Sorry, I'm not smart enough to paste a page from the manual. The TM is in the TM section here.
