Nice truck. I like your exhaust. Welcome from Ca.

Always use distilled water with antifreeze in the cooling system to prevent scale buildup. Spring water, regular water contains minerals.

I'd like to know how you got that info. Please advise. Thank you.

I need to get going on some rust spots on my truck. I'll try sanding/grinding off the heavy stuff then use a liquid called Metal Prep to clean the rest then rinse and prime. I think the Metal prep stuff is just phosphoric acid. Your truck looks good!

What kind of primer you using, red oxide?

The michelin tires I have are just michelin X not XZL. I was wondering about the difference in circumference of the different tires too especially when put on the rear axles. I would think the differential gears would compensate for that when the tires are different diameter on a given axle...

Was wondering if it's okay to mix Goodyear AT2 tires with Michelin X especially on rear axles. All tires are 14X20. I couldn't find anything mentioned about this in TM 9-2320-272-10. It only mentioned tread patterns can be mixed. I'm changing out some dry rot tires. It had michelin xl tires...

The Kent- Moore tool part number shown in one of the service manual pics is for a 53 series. A 92 series would have a bigger wrist pin and a different tool and number. it would be a good idea to check those retainers for leaks cuz oil can leak there if not sealed good and then you burn oil. I...

The service tool part number is a Kent-Moore tool part number. A mechanic told me to just use a golf ball but I havn't done that yet. It should work. Just make sure there is no leak at the wrist pin retainer or you will get lube oil leaking. How about the sleeve to install the pistons in the...

Google is your friend. Try searching for Daygreen B20-24-12. That's a 24 volt to 12 volt DC downconverter that can handle 20 amps. That is overkill for a radio but good for extra accessories too. There are 24 volt to 13.8 volt DC downconverters too. You can get them in various amp ratings...

Good work. 240 ft.lbs. is a lot of twist! Do you have the special tool for the wrist pin seals, caps?

I kinda figured that too was gonna happen. I had hoped to go on saturday but will see come fall. Take care everyone and stay healthy. I'll be working on my truck. Hope fuel prices stay low for a while.

I did some social distancing today, just me and Groot, my 923A2. It was a beautiful day and Groot had a great time!

I was troubleshooting my non operating heater fan and the switch came apart. I think I found the problem!

Don't forget to check the fuse plugs in the cylinder heads. They are probably melted if it got hot but you can replace them for next time if it comes. It's behind that slotted head plug below the exhaust ports. Only one on each head.

How does the crank look, thrust bearing?

I've been that way a couple of times. It's a long drive! One time I came in from the fawnskin side and was going to go down along the trail but there was a big gate that was locked preventing anyone from going up or down. It would be a real bad day if someone drove all that way up the trail...

I would clean up the contacts and reassemble and try it but would also consider a new one. How does the commutator surface look on the motor? Brushes? Check them out too and clean up while you got it out.

What you could try is tap the solenoid with the handle of a screwdriver or a ratchet extension and see if it unsticks the solenoid. Sounds like that is stuck in the "energize" position. It might take a few "taps" with the screwdriver so keep trying. After getting it unstuck, I would take the...
