After last weekend's foul up, I realized that I had not even thought to check the fluid level of the brake master cylinder. Bad Moose, drop and give me 10,000 ( as if ). Sooooo, almost a quart later, the master cylinder is full of fresh purple pedal juice. Already have improvement in the...

True. Unless you extend the frame and fab new hood n fenders. Make her look like a long nose Pete pick-up. Just playing.

That's what I was thinking too grigeltaube, well, almost. I was seeing a Power Wagon.

Sorry for any possible snow flakiness in the next statement but as a tax payer that just pisses me off. Like I said, I know stuff can break ANY time. Been there, but when it's done willfully that smacks of negligence, dereliction, and possibly even treason. Trashing a $30,000 engine just...

Sixty . . . Six - Zero . . . 60 ? miles Who in the H are they letting work on these things ? That's just abyssmal. I know a liner CAN crack at any moment but what are the odds ? At least when you're done with it it'll be right.

Yes, if the truck is auto trans and the converter to flexplate bolts are not properly tight it will KNOCK in neutral or under certain light loads. I just remembered this happening with my Suburban. I too thought the main bearings were going. You were saying flywheel, and "grinding" so I was...

I'm with cucvrus. Take the inspection plate off and see if noise goes away. I changed a clutch and dropped it one time years ago. One tiny dent that JUST touched the flywheel under certain loads / speeds. Couldn't see it from the outside but it was nice and shiny inside. If noise is still...

PLEASE DON'T BLAST ME, IT WORKED FOR ME BUT I AM NOT TELLING ANYONE TO DO IT. My CIVILIAN K20 had Rancho soft-ride 4" springs front and rear, RS 9000 shocks, all bushings and body mounts replaced with urethane (add grease zerks anyplace you can, urethane likes to squeak), and the ICING...

Sorry to hear about the SNAFU but unfortunately it's a common thread (no pun intended) with trying to procure an MV for civvie use. I was VERY lucky with mine. Your dream "girl" is out there. One friend had a LOCK on a 934 in Kansas and it fell through in the DMV even though it was...

Wow ! Talk about ambitious. At 15 I was drooling over a Ford Torino GT. I admire your desire. Now to business, I have absolutely ZERO idea on the legalities of one of these beasts vis a vis the U.K., E.U., or anywhere other than PA, USA and I spent quite a while digging up info before I...

Thanks guys ! I thought that might be how the circuits worked but I couldn't find a solid answer even looking at the schematics in the TMs. Didn't see any valves for the emergency side and had a suspicion the air pack was the service side control. Thanks for helping an old dog learn a new...

I promise I have done due diligence to answer this on my own. Perhaps I missed it while searching. If so, please direct to appropriate thread. If not, then I'm glad I asked. How is the Emergency side of the air system charged on my M820 ? Is it a valve somewhere activated by the parking...

Buffalobwana, Still out here, doin' day by day. Appreciate more than I can express that anyone noticed my absence. Life took me for a wild ride starting last July and I've just recently gotten back to abnormal and had the desire to be sociable. I am planning to become more of a presence...

Hey y'all ! ! Been a while since I stopped by because It's been a while since since I actually DID anything to / with the old girl. Life's been "interesting" for the past year or so. Things were starting to get back to abnormal so I thought I'd pay some attention to the ole' M820. She has...

Thanks Bwana, it surely is a disease, but a wonderful one to have. Drove 100 miles coming home to avoid highways and legs and butt were numb. Was fun getting my right foot on the brake pedal with the spring full soft and seat as far back as possible. I am 6' 2" and 275. The driver's area was...

Finally, finally, FINALLY picked her up. Soooooooooo excited. She definitely needs lots love ( money ) to make her right, but like the Hokey Pokey says . . . That's wut it's ALL about.

Oh, sorry. Then I guess the Snitz Creek paddle is yer best bet.

Good point,. Dot 5 tastes HORRIBLE though. The smokes help.

$70 bucks buys 3 cases of my fave AND a couple packs of smokes.

It's your dollar bill but I wouldn't. Shoot Brake Kleen into all the lines that are at the master. Blow shop air through same lines. Put the new pieces on. Fill the reservoir to the top. Let the lid off. Open all four bleeders and let gravity and atmospheric pressure do the work. Just DO...
