    Oil Filter again

    Well I can't seem to find a torque spec for the drain plug in the -20 or -34 TM. I just tightened mine with a regular box end wrench. Mine didn't have the cotter pins installed and still doesn't.

    How hard to reseal/boot front axle??

    :ditto: Did mine last summer and didn't have an issue doing it my self. I cleaned the grove on the axle housing, steering knuckle and the edge of the boot with brake kleen and didn't have a problem with the boot coming off while I tightened the clamp.

    Fed up with batteries

    Sounds like you and batteries do not get along. In the 30+ years I have been working on everything from bobcats to D9's I only have had 2 ~ 3 explode. Scared the heck out of me.

    MEP-003A price

    Back in the "good ol days" we use to have a TM section here at SS where you could download manuals and other useful information. :roll: JMO, I would say not over $750 for a running unit (both engine and making correct power) with those hours. Problem is at auction there isn't anyway to know...

    Best gasoline to use in a M38A1

    Thanks for the information Chuck. I never thought about the water bonding to the ethanol and staying that way. I knew that the main ingredient in most gasoline drying additives was alcohol but never gave a thought to using water to get rid of it.

    Best gasoline to use in a M38A1

    Most likely the only real issue you might run into over time is the ethanol (alcohol) in current gasoline likes to turn non-alcohol rated hoses, seals and some gaskets into a brown slimy goo. The ideal gasoline to use would be 100LL av-gas. It doesn't contain the crap ethanol and still has a...

    0-120 Oil Gauge Installation

    Yes it is a different sender depending which gauge you have. If you switch to a 60# gauge you need to have a 60# sender.

    0-120 Oil Gauge Installation

    My deuce came straight from surplus with a 120# gauge. Cold start it is around 70~75#, as near as you can tell from the markings on the gauge, and after some driving it will drop to 40~45 at idle and back up to 55~60 running down the road. Haven't installed a mechanical gauge to verify. Reading...

    Over 1 year SF97

    I think it has to do with the fact that they figured they are making money by supplying the SF97 even if it is over a year. Money talks.

    Over 1 year SF97

    I just received the SF97 for a M105 trailer I have had for about 16 months. Thought the paperwork might not go through because it was over 12 months but it did.

    My new 1028

    Great looking truck. Every time I see a nice CUCV I miss my old 1980 GMC 2500 pickup and my 1985 K1500 Jimmy.

    Nice idea on the seal. I'll try that next time I pull the hubs to do the bearing.

    need help fuel problem!

    Do you still have the strainer in the tank filler hole. I have made a habit of trying to remember to take the filler cap off and just give a quick check for anything that doesn't look quite right. Lower fuel level than expected, spilled fuel around the filler opening that wasn't there before...
