    Hey cranetruck, It's Me Again--Help

    I have not switched it out yet. I think were it just the flasher, the lights would come on but not flash.

    Hey cranetruck, It's Me Again--Help

    The turn signals have quit flashing again. The headlights work. The turn signal controller on the steering column lights. Bad grounds again?:?:

    $%#, Was gonna drive my truck for Independence Day...

    You need to check the bearings. That looks like rusty water from inside the boot. I pulled mine a year or so ago and posted some pics. Rusted bearings will run, for a while.

    25k rounds of .30-06 in a M109A3

    I noticed they were not for you. I was going to ask why you had so little at home? Most Texans would be considering ordering more under the circumstances.

    Changing U-Joints-Stuck Bolts!

    It might effect your virility. Once the scarring heals, you should be OK. Do not try this at home.

    Changing U-Joints-Stuck Bolts!

    PB Blaster for 24 hours, then cranked up the pressure on the impact wrench and off they flew. I do not know whether it was increased pressure or PB Blaster, but back at work.

    Changing U-Joints-Stuck Bolts!

    I have the AVM lockouts on the front and the transfer case is disengaged. I will try the PB Blaster first.

    Changing U-Joints-Stuck Bolts!

    I am pulling the front drive shaft. Four bolts came out easily. Four are not. The impact wrench is not loosening them. Any ideas on how to loosen them for removal?

    genorator just caught fire help

    This might be a good time to replace the alternator with a modern one. I believe it is listed in the classifieds and on eBay. Looks good to me. And lower cost than the original probably will be.

    Lockout hubs

    I have the AVM hubs and I am very satisfied with them. So far only one failure of a locking hub has been reported, by any manufacturer, on this board. It was a minor problem. So, pick the hub of your choice, they all work. It takes about 15 minutes to install. I will buy another set...

    windshield frames

    Yes. Then put the rubber in with lube and a straight edge.

    windshield frames

    I am not sure your frames look so bad. Unless they are rusted, the rubber will need to be replaced only. If you need glass, the local glass shop can handle that.

    Air Pack End Plate Seal

    I have been getting them of eBay. The short air pack probably has a different seal for the air cylinder and I have not opened one to see if the air piston uses the same felt and rubber seals. But the hydraulic cylinder stuff should be the same.

    Air Pack End Plate Seal

    I have many gallons around here. I will try it. Weird. I may like the 1/8 o-ring better, but then who knows?

    Air Pack End Plate Seal

    As some may know I have been working on three deuce air packs rebuilds. I cannot find a real gasket amongst the rebuild kits that fits the end cap. It is a 4 1/2 inside diameter, 1/8 inch paper gasket. The rebuild kit I have gotten, four, all have a paper gasket that is just too small. So...
