    Do any other trailer tarps fit a M116?

    Did a search for M116 tarps and came up with everything but. Can anybody tell me if any other trailers use the same tarps or a good place to find one? Rick

    How do I disengage air brakes?

    LMAO!!! I do have to agree with scaring people off with the instant RTFM stuff. Some newbies don't even know where to find the FTM! Yea, I know, they should read it before doing anything else. I am sure we ALL read the manual first didn't we? Yea Right! 85% of those who answered yes are lying...

    MEP-002A synchronization question

    Wow, I am subscribing to this one. This looks like it is going to be a fun project to watch. I wish I had the time and knowledge to tackle something like this.

    Diamond T M20 Prime Mover

    Even if he was just looking for that particular truck and Kevins name was not involved you have to remember he bought this truck back in the beginning of November. The one you pointed out just sold beginning of this month. What are the odds of two of these trucks coming up for sale so close...

    Steering question...

    I guess I don't know what you are trying to describe here. Can you pm me a phone number and I will try to give you a call tomorrow evening. If the tie rods are disconnected the steering box will turn beyond the point it would normally hit the steering stops. This will not cause damage as long as...

    How are the axle u-joints out at the wheels? It is sounding like you have a binding u-joint or a binding ball joint. Rick

    2600mile recovery :)

    If you have to pull that thermostat housing to fix the leak replace the stat while you are there. Cheap insurance, otherwise it will stick wide open on the coldest day of the winter.

    Government Liquidation ***BUYER BEWARE***

    Jimmy, we all feel your pain. There is probably not a single person on this forum that has dealt with G/L that has not been burnt. We know all too well about their customer service. It is not that way at all locations though. I have had very good service at several locations. Wait until you find...

    Government Liquidation ***BUYER BEWARE***

    That is why I seldom if ever buy from Ebay. If I ever do I am coming to you first for a buying lesson!

    Government Liquidation ***BUYER BEWARE***

    Angus, I checked, You had better raise your prices! Even used are in the 70.00 and up range. Does not mean they are all selling at that price but since they are ALL starting there I would say they must be selling some. Rick

    New Format for forums

    Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and then go to the left and you will see a contrast setting. Go for higher contrast. If that is what you are now on then it must be a computer issue. My background is dark green, almost black and the printing is white. Rick

    What is your temp gauge reading? If normal you might need a reverse flush on the heater core. Otherwise you might need a thermostat. Definitely want to have a good working thermostat in those temps or you will end up with milkshake for oil. Rick

    MEP 005a Low oil pressure light on unit still running?

    I was going to say that I have used clear lacquer paint in the past but that was for my own stuff and did not want to volunteer info that might not be proper. I did find some info on conformal coatings just doing a search for "circuit board spray"...

    MEP 005a Low oil pressure light on unit still running?

    If it is not out in the open I will have to wait until I can catch one of the professors. You might find something in Radio Shack or one of the online electronics stores. I should be able to catch one of them in, it is finals time. 3,000 stressed out students running around in a daze.:popcorn:

    MEP 005a Low oil pressure light on unit still running?

    I saw some stuff in the electronics lab at the college I work at for spraying on those boards to seal them, I will send myself an e-mail to check it out on Monday and report the name of it. Sounds like if you can just reseal the board it would solve the problem. Rick

    Found pieces of metal in tansfercase, it's a shame because i was going to sell it

    I am sure the bolts will be fine. Look at your old case and see if the bolt holes go through to the inside of the case. If they do you may experience some oil weeping at the bolts. The studs were so hard to get out because they were locktited in. Most likely if you look at the ones that came out...
