    steering knuckle studs cleanup

    You might try using a dremel tool with a thin cut off disk to slice the nut in two. The front spindles on my truck didn't have any type of sealing compound or gasket between the knuckle and spindle or spindle and brake backing plate. There is actually a channel cut at the bottom between the...

    1954 Volvo TP21 Sugga direct from Sweden

    Very, very nice. I have always thought they would be neat to own. Not that I'm knocking the PS idea, I have a 02 7.3 myself that I am very happy with but have you thought about the Cummins 4BT. Just like the idea of no electronics to have to deal with.

    Disgusted with Cat 7155

    :ditto: Give me a 13 spd any day in a road truck. Although I do have a soft spot for the old Mack quartoplex twin stick. Learned to drive on that.

    steering knuckle studs cleanup

    Worked ok for me. Just did the front boots, seals, knuckle bushings on mine. Chased the threads on a couple and replaced 3 or 4 that were in really bad shape. Dorman Products - 675-070

    Lugs OVERTIGHTENED

    To deal with things like frozen / overtightened lugs on larger vehicles you would need something more along the lines of a geared lug wrench or something like this. My 2cents

    M1009 Lockout hub bolt question, not a allen bolt.

    I was thinking it's rust and paint holding it on. I'm surprised the engagement spring hasn't pushed it off.

    Radiator Pressuring Up?

    Kind of sounds like maybe a bad cap gasket and a air bubble purged after the refill. Question would be where did the antifreeze go to begin with ?

    Got my MEP-017A running today!

    Might try jumping the oil pressure safety switch terminals and see if it will run in normal than. I would be a little leery of using JB weld. I would be afraid a piece might break loose and either travel through the push rod tube to the head or the crankcase. A better solution, IMO, would be TIG...

    GL M1009's at Ft Meade today

    I thought maybe that was you trying to corner the CUCV market. I thought about it but figured I would end up sleeping in it and the temps are starting cool off.

    Another use for the Deuce

    Better keep an eye on the winch hook. You know how children are, turn your back for a minute and it will be broken. :-D

    Marker light brackets holding water

    I have thought about the same issue. I was thinking about using nylon washers.

    Axle trans TC vents

    In TM 9-2320-361-20 and TM 9-2320-361-34P it doesn't show or mention any different venting for the fuel tank or mc with the deep water fording kit.

    Axle trans TC vents

    From what I can see in TM 9-2320-361-34P, Figure 294. Deep Water Fording Kit, the bell housing is the only one pressurized. The trans. transfer and axles seem to keep the bobble head vent.

    Distributor vent line repair

    Just my 2cents but I would solder the parts. I would hate to see the tube come loose and be ingested in the engine.
