I wanted to clarify some additional information on adapting a Cummins 6BT engine to the Spicer 3053a transmission in an M35A2. This came up in another thread, so to avoid derailing that thread I started this new one. A link to the original thread is below...

Unfortunately the part number you gave me for the flywheel is for the flywheel itself without the ring gear, and there are at least 2 different ring gears that work with it. Some are 8/10 pitch, some are 10/12 pitch. So without knowing more information, I can't be sure which pitch of starter...

Sorry for my mistake, edited my post to refer to yours. That's what I get for attempting to help without being in the shop. He will still need an adapter, and depending on his choice of flywheel and flywheel housing, potentially for a depth change and not just diameter. I am gathering parts...

What are the part numbers for your flywheel, ring gear if it is not original to the flywheel, and flywheel housing? G has the right information on the pilot bushing. I was going off memory and mixed up the ID with the OD. You will still need something to adapt to the 306 bearing that has an ID...

Ah, I understand your question now. As long as you scuffed the tubing up well prior to applying the POR-15 system to it, I think it would stick fine. The biggest problem in my mind would be getting even coats on tubes that run vertically. The stuff doesn't go down well in thin coats, and seems...

To be honest, the only new steel that I've used it on was hot rolled sheet with very thin mill scale. This was on the patch panels that I put on the roof in this latest round - every other time I have used the stuff it has been on old metal. Keep in mind that I'm not an expert with this stuff...

I have some of the cartridge style filters like you showed, and on the package it said that they were for organic solvent particles. I think they are intended to filter out mists like with paint vapor, etc. I know that when I use those to go into the crawl space under the house, I can't even...

https://www.por15.com/ POR-15 is a system of rust neutralizing and encapsulating paints that I think actually come close to doing what they are advertised to do, which is rare these days. Their metal prep appears to act similarly to phosphoric acid in that it eats the rust away and leaves a...

I did decide to add a few minor upgrades while I had things apart. It had always been a bit stuffy inside without the AC when using the windows for ventilation, so I added in a roof vent in the main space, which actually helped the circulation a lot. I cleaned up the wiring to the TV so it...

That's one of the few sure things in life... death, taxes, and rust in an M109 van body! Like peashooter said, you can get into most areas of the M109 box, but almost every part of it is steel and will eventually rust no matter what you do. All of the effort you put in just buys time, and the...

I don't have much new with it right now honestly. The biggest 'upgrade' I have done to it was actually building a barn big enough to park it in. I feel a lot better about it not rusting away with it out of the elements. I did find a leak in the roof at the end of the 2019 camping season which...

My build thread is in the 5 ton modifications section, but feel free to move it to a camper specific area if you make one. Mine is set up more for short trips rather than as an expedition vehicle, but I still enjoy it...

Have you changed the filter? It is inside the reservoir if I am remembering correctly. Wix PN 51418.

@simp5782 Wes, do you have a part number for the air bags you used? I am guessing it is an AirLift Dominator D2600 based on appearance, but that doesn't match the weight capacity that you listed in another thread that I can't find right now - the D2600 only has a max capacity of 3055 lb at 100...

I'm needing a spare tire davit extension to fit in an A1 davit, but I'm seeing some sources that say that an M939 extension won't work for an A1 / A2. All I can find for sale online match the M939 part number. Does anyone know if the davit extension on an M939 is the same outer diameter as one...

I got my confirmation number too. I'll be there, one way or another.

That is how I see things. I sent an email to their reservation address on Saturday, and got the automatic confirmation that they received it and would respond soon, but have not gotten the final response with a reservation number. Has anyone else gotten their reservation number?

@DJones I've been looking forward to this all winter, but I'm concerned about the limited capacity part as well. If they are going to make us all stay 6' apart like the website says, it won't be much fun either. I can schedule vacation days whenever, so I am flexible with the dates. For me...

I second the suggestion to inspect the roof / ceiling very closely before building out your RV interior. I had mine completely stripped out in 2013 and thought I had the rust issues fixed. The whole inside got sanded, holes patched, floor replaced, rust ground out / neutralized, etc. I found out...
