Dunno if a second job is really necessary. These are some of the most affordable MVs on the planet, and the majority of the replacement parts are DIRT cheap!!!

Seems as though every time I've climbed aboard this SOB this year, something breaks. And repairs end up being a major undertaking that result in an aching back for the next 1.5 weeks after. Never expected a rose garden and/or trouble-free operation 100% of the time, but...****!

My vote would be for neither, but then I'd be a poor choice to ask for an opinion. I'm a bit soured on "big rig" ownership at this juncture. :-x

It's alive!!! Well actually, it has been for a while now. Sorry I haven't kept you fellas updated. Finally got it running good. But now of course we're finding lots of other problems. The brakes, while much better, still weren't working up to out standards. We determined that the front were...

Nevermind, it looks as though the Boss Lady um, "created" a solution. Laugh all you want, but it appears to have gotten the job done.

Does anyone know where I can get a puller like the one shown in the TM to pull the front brake rotors? Is there anything available at Horrible Freight or Northern that can be substituted? Thanks for your time, Don

RockAuto has the RB57s for $8.82. [thumbzup]

Sweet looking unit!

I was just coming here to ask a similar question. RockAuto, Advance, etc list a bushing with a 1" OD and a .5" ID, but they say that it's for a Dana 60 front axle. Anyone know if this is also the right one (Moog SB266) for the Dana 44 front springs?

Our M882 was originally a brown color, not unlike the brown on that M887 box above. You can see it plain as day on the underneath of the hood.

Gotta say the same thing to Blake that I told Cabell Garbee: If he were to open up a BBQ joint, there'd be car lined up for MILES on the road out front, seven nights a week! Kudos to him!

For better or for worse, I am headed in you guys' direction as well. See ya in a few!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TD_pSeNelU

Heck, somebody took a lifted gold cart on the trails with us last year. If Common Horse Sense is exercised, everything should be cool.

I'm hoping to be there for it! It was one of the high points from last year.

uld I would like to know more. :)

Welcome to my world!!!

I'm going to get a few things done to the Sprinter and drive it down and camp in it. Hoping to make it Wednesday afternoon/evening, Thursday at the latest. I was *this* close to saying "screw it" and writing off the whole entire week, but you can Thank Spicy for talking me out of that. ;)

They started dragging on me, and I was in an area that I really didn't want to be in with NO tools, so I ended up having to drive it home that way. Now I fear that the shoes have been glazed, and even if I could get them releasing properly, I wouldn't feel comfortable driving all the way down...

Dragging, won't release completely. Backing off of the 'minor' adjusters did no good either.

Well. my trucks brakes are officially FUBAR, and the odds of getting them fixed in time are slim to none. Looks as though I might wind up being yet another casualty. :(
