The fuel leaking problem is originally based on the zink casting of the fuel filter mount, with might get the Zinc-pest (white blooming of the base). This means the part is scrap. If you get the parts at the NAPA store or at the Advanced Auto parts still have them, you are lucky. Neither in...

Poor condition, but try to save it. These vehicles are getting reare. Wolf

Allison automatic transmissions usually have an overdrive, usual ratio is 6.45 in first gear and 0.83 or 0.74 in the six gear, depending on the year of manufacture. However, with 202 or 240 HP such a truck is in unladen condition somewhat good motorized, but laden it is, sorry to say, a lame...

To my experiances in the auto parts shops in the US (I'm over there about two to three times a year), the shops do not have the original filters in stock any more. The parts are over ten years out of mass production, so they are not found any more in the catalouges. Diesel is a very sad story in...

O.K, this clears the situation. However, the initial statement did not give the neccessary information to see the background. Of course, if a project overcomes the awailable time frame or the expences eat to much in a foreseeable time, it is legal to try to sell a vehicle to good hands. Just the...

The switches right of the instrument cluster to me do look like fire department stuff. Else it looks like it should look. From the pics good condition. Brake service is allways needed on these babies. There are two choises: Maintain it as a fire truck or put it back to the military standard. I...

Interseting idea to put a Hummer ambulance body on a Deuce. This will mean you have some space left on the platform that you are not falling dircetly out ouf the door if you miss the ladder. The four litter body sould comfortly accomodate at least 2 people. Wolf

Even if I was wrong with the estimation of the Sd.Kfz 251, the basic is: were is the noise of the air coming from.... That was the intention of my statement. Anyway, the M-series trucks are of relatively simple design, their basic design, as far as the basic vehicle is below 100, is from the...

It is not completly clear to me what you realy want. Replace the original fuel filter by a new catridge (which is a NAPA part, if you work in a Chevy or GM shop, you should find them, MY 1982 to 1992) or do you mean the replacement by a standard 1 quart diesel fuel filter system of any brand...

If you are not the person to handel that issue, you are wrong in the MV bussines, where bussines does not mean to make money with it, it means to maintain them under any circumstances. I agree with Lonesome 715! Kaiser Jeep M715 since 1982 J24KAI since 1988 DKW Sport 250 since 1980 Wolf

I could add something unfriendly to this, howerver you seem to own a Sd.Kfz 251 made in Checoslovalcia (Techoslovakai) by Skoda. This vehicle should bring you the minimun skill, if you maintain it by yourself, to maintain a simple made M-series truck. Blowing air noise always has somthing to do...

The grease for the floating disk calipers is a coper paste which is heat resistant. During any inspection (which means any 12000 to 20000 miles or at least once a year) you should remove your wheels and inspect your brakes for proper operational condition. This includes the sliding capbility of...

If you do not have the manual, it is not that easy to keep the propper torque and tollerance values. Look for to -34 Manual or the simmelar of the WC62/63 of 1944 or later. It is the same tansfer. Bearings are standard stuff from Timken, but not very cheep. Seals are standard stuff from CR. It...

According to the manual any semi up to 12000 lbs fifth wheel load is correct, which means for example semitrailer,Stake and Platform, 5 ton 2 wheel, model 516 or semitrailer , animal and cargo, 6 t, 2 wheel Model SKD 1815 or model TG or 32 G or semitrailer , Gasoline tank, 6 t, 2 wheel, M30...

Anything that is called polar white or acrtic white or or titanium white or simply white is correct. Avoid any white colour that might have and additional name which you not identify with clean titanium white. Wolf

To my opinion there are two possibilities: The steering wheel is simply very dirty, which means you have to clean ist very well. The second is that someone before tried to clean the wheel with some impropper solvent that is agressive to the polymere material of the wheel. The solvent is in the...

The initial pics look like 9.00x20 Michelins with flipped hubs. For bigger tires the bed must be cut out or the tires hit the bed under some circumstances on road and off road very quickly! The Michelins useually carry higher loads than the old NDT. So check the sidewalls. The max. lbs at psi is...

The VW TDI is a different story. There the injection pump (IP) is a VP44, an exelent piece of engineering. However, the electric contacts around are sometimes poor. That you have a regular three month problem is very uncommon. You better should change you VW shop to a qualified one. If you look...

With the original batterie harness it is very difficult to missconnect the batteries. Plus and minus have different diameters and therefore the wirering normally can not be connected the wrong way. Wolf

For a 1302 or 1303 Beetle an automatic transmission is factory stuff and original. Those had a marking on the back , f.e.1302 automatic. However, most of the beetles were manual. Wolf
