I am a little slow, but I finally played around with this and created my personal menu block located right above the Whos Online block, using html formatting. I don't know how many people are utilizing this, but it is a nice feature. For now, I put links to the top 5 forums that I visit, but...

Got back from a trip to Las Cruces area, and thought I would share some pics. Visited the White Sands Missle Range Museum, which is on the missle range, near Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, NM. They will allow visitors by just showing your ID. They have a V2 rocket inside a building...

What is the going rate of a 5 ton drop side bed these days?

I received some really good information on engine oils from a respected professional in the field of engine oil development. He has also written, with another author, a SAE paper titled "How Much ZDP is Enough?". It is SAE document #2004-01-2986 if you care to locate it and read in greater...

Went on a recovery trip this past weekend to pick up my new project. It’s a rusted out Chevy C60 with a nice 16.4’ Hiab knuckeboom crane. 2500 lb rating at max extension. Not as big as I would like, but it was a very good price and should work well for my intentions. My plan is to make a...

Hope to be there early Friday afternoon in the deuce. Who else is going? Anyone bringing a new toy?

I recently learned of this trailer model while doing some surfing. It isn't in the Std Catalog, but I did find the manual for it on logsa. Anyone have a swag at what their value is? I think this would be a nice heavy duty - general purpose trailer.

I have gear lube in the knuckles. Pulled a lower kingpin bolt and it came out, need to replace the inner axle seals. Am I looking at this seal correctly? It appears that the seal is trapped behind a machined surface in the axle, or is that part of the seal? The manual says there is a...

Someone told me of drilling a hole(s) in the bottom of the inner windshield channels for drainage, to help prevent the rusting that happens to all of them. Anyone tried this, or other opinions to stop this from occurring?

I am not familiar with the M809 series air filter element. Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a hole in the closed end of the filter body, such as for a mounting bolt? From the parts catalogs and other sources, best I can tell is that the M809 and M939 series elements are supposed to...

I installed a coolant filter 1 year ago, approximately 1000+ miles ago. Took it off today and cut it open, lots of brown goop. Keep in mind that in the past 5 years my coolant has been changed 2x, with the last time getting a new radiator at the same time the filter was installed. The pics...

Need to replace an axle vent that stuck on me (internally, the cap moves freely) and squeezed lube out of a couple of seals. Has anyone modified theirs with pipes/hose, other options to prevent mud/water contamination or blockage? It would be simple to do, but I also worry about condensation...

I should have taken heed to the warnings. I thought one would be enough, but apparently I have a problem. I am definitely outgrowing my available space! Its a 1989 M932A2, 20k miles. Drove it home approx 550 miles last weekend. Ran like a champ.

Wanted to post this awhile back during similar discussions, but my truck was covered in 1/2" of ice! I plumbed my heater hoses into a distribution manifold that has 3 valved outlets, all accessible by simply opening the side panel. Very nice when you want the heater in the mornings and...

I will be passing through this area (I-80 in OH) within the month. Do either of these places let you browse through the yard? Any opinions on either? I periodically order M35 parts from Sam Winer and they are great to deal with, but browsing through a field of old iron is just plain fun...

I am planning to make up a set of temporary tow lights for use when recovering a vehicle via towbar, or towing a trailer that has an inoperable electrical system or one that is not compatible with MV's (ex 12v). Does anyone have a picture or diagram of the tow lights that are used with the...

Does anyone know what 900 series trucks got the 8.3 Cummins? Specifically, I am interested in the tractor (M932 I think).

Last weekend I noticed after a long drive that, under a float condition (no accel or decel), I heard this rattle noise in the drivetrain. I narrowed it down to the t-case, and can duplicate the noise easily by putting the t-case in neutral and putting the trans in gear and letting out the...

A friend of mine asked me to post this. Does anyone know what this is from? He is trying to ID it and find out what the specs are (hydraulic pressure/flow requirements).

Getting the truck ready for a trail ride, planned to leave Friday. Brake fluid was slightly down since I checked it sometime last year (has been sitting for months), but brakes were fine. Topped it off, drove it around last night, drove it to work and back today, no problems, will lock up the...
