I work on turbos for a living. So mabye i can help. What's wrong with yours?

Bill, I got one from jeff. It's NOS and worked out perfectly.

That's a good looking truck you got. I love the 52s. We are going to have to get together for a little drag race! If you can post some pics when you get it under the M127.

I'd be glad to give you a hand. This weekend is booked. But let me know when your ready.

Mudlord hit it. The axle shaft floats some. Grease is needed to lube the thrust washer and the boss of the axle shaft. I think the innerseal retainer plate needs grease also. This keeps the yoke from wearing it out. I like to disassemble clean and regrease mine once a ear. Because i take mine...

Get a laser type heat gun. Point it at each exaust port. After the engine has warmed up. The one that's colder than the rest will have the dribbling injector. Pull the air intake hose off. And try to move the turbo's compressor wheel up and down. Make sure the wheel isn't touching the air...

Ryan, i sudjest a M172. It's a lowboy type trailor. It's only long enough to carry one vehicle at a time though. The other problem is it's about 9 feet wide. That makes loading and unloading a breeze. But you may require a wide load permit when using it?

Sounds like you have a inner axle seal leaking. Not to mention a bad boot. Let the truck sit a few days then change the diif oil. Hopefull the water will settle to the bottom and you get it all out. Changing the seal ins'nt a big deal. I have the puller to get the seal holder out of the axle...

The command post. It's a army surplus store on IH-10 east in houston has one in the parking lot. It's been there of years. It still has the rocket on it. Although the paint it very faded it doesen't look too bad. The store has about 5 locations in houston. The onwer has a different office, i...

Does anybody know where i can get a set of these steel pads? I'd like to use them as risers to help when the M127 trailor sinks in the mud.

Dave it looks like we have the same task ahead of us. Here is a few pics of my resto. After i changed the cab and engine.

Man a rokon would be nice. Mabye with a hatz diesel?

I have one at home. I get a wix filter for it. I'll look and report back.

My local auto parts carries kentool. They had everything i needed on the shelf. I sudjest the fiberglass handle with the rubber grip on the tire hammer. It absorbs the shock/vibrations pretty good. With some rigging they will fit in the pioneer tool rack.

Do you have any pics of the groove on the rim? The first pics looked looked like the groove was eroded or had trash in the groove and didn't let the ring seat. If you pound the ring off with the tire hammer you will bend it. It's better to use the spoon/hook bar to get it off. I'd guess somebody...

That's a good looking truck. I'm amased it's still a gasser. I'd think it would have been swapped for a multi with the carc paint. I couldn't emagine the mileage it's going to get with a 127 in tow.

Looks like it's almost the same size as a 52. What TM did you find the drawings in?

At 53 inches that will keep the trailor about level. I noticed in the pic from the pass side that the folcrum on the fith wheel was just forward of the folcrum for the springs. How far forward are you planning on mounting the wheel? My 52 is pretty much dead center. Do you know how far it is...

I agree with dave. The kingpin could easily run up on top instead of sliding into the jaws. Also if the landing gear has sank into the mud for some reason then the ramps closer to the tips will help lift the trailor should you have to ram it up to couple them. A M127 will only rise to about...
