find the size spacer for under the pedal that gets the desired effect, make wood block and paint green and dirty it up a little, install good magnet on back side then stick to floor when exiting truck at arrival to testing station. once complete stick block to back side of dash till next time
didn't seen anything obvious wrong with the rf brakes once i pulled the drum but they were old so i swapped in the new mates to the lf shoes and adjusted accordingly, the test drive was perfect without the grabbing dive to the right the truck has had since i got it, thermal camera still showed...
got the upper torque rods done so now all 12 are done, replaced the rear rubber brake lines and finished flushing the system with dot 5, back when i serviced the bearings i replaced both front wheel cylinders just because and the 3 front lines, ended up one was leaking a little and killed the...
got my spare together and after a good look over and test drive so far all seems well and my thermal camera isn't picking up anything different on any of the rear hubs.
did discover one thing that people that wanna run aluminum mrap rims on unflipped hubs should look out for, the hub face is...
this https://www.bigmikesmotorpool.com/products/torque-rod-end-for-m35-series-trucks-7521831 is the press in part, my lower 4 arms came out with relative ease and a 20 ton press took care of the removal/installation of the joints, not every truck may give up its arms without a fight so try to...
that was a drag, it worked but it didn't wanna, soapy water didn't get it moving but while under tension allowed easier cutting and once it was 3/4 through it folded and started it's way out of the tire, aborted the brute force route when i felt i was about to break something with my hoist in...
tried lifting it and locking it in the upper position and filling it at the truck stop went a little faster, still foamed up if i tried more then the first notch but burped less then normal
just shy of $600 will buy you a set of 12 original style ends off a popular auction site, two different sellers list em and one is a couple few bux less, i just did 8 out of 12 on my truck and posted about 3-4 pictures in the what did you do to your deuce thread
seeing that someone else bumped up this necrothread ill add on
this is something i adhered to on my 105 recovery, also declined to play with the parking brakes despite the urging from the former owner that they worked great
popped the joints 4 that faced the wheels all with about the same amount of persuasion from a 3# maul, the 4 that faced inward received direct smacks as i don't care about saving the threads and popped easily. yea i was expecting more of a pain in the butt and have been putting off doing them as...
they got ticketed for failure to yield and expired license.
for the dogbone/torque rod job i forgot to add a big pickle fork gets the outward facing ones pretty good
if you are talking to me port allen on court street west bound not quite to allendale. if you are talking about the festivitys down town by the kidd/centroplex/belle casino
replaced 8 out of 12 torque rod joints, dumped 3.5 gallons of atf in it from work and took for test drive/fuel up, and apparently the old 3 color camo job did its job nicely and disguised the 11' tall almost 8' wide m109a3 at 50 mph good enough that i got t-boned from a side street, once i get a...
cool, 2256039983 if we can't find one another for some odd reason tomorrow, also my dually is distinctive and easy to spot if i can get close enough early, ill be there around 8 by the kidd museum
well i am now a spectator, finished changing all 8 lower torque rod joints and decided i'd do the uppers next week and went for a drive and to fuel up, was about 1-2 miles from home and this turd in a camaro t-bones me from a side street while i am going about 50, tore a hole in the right rear...
