    detroit locker on m1009 front diff

    Re: RE: detroit locker on m1009 front diff True, a set of 1008 axles would do the trick nicely. Good point. Forgot to mention that. :shock:

    detroit locker on m1009 front diff

    I was going to have a shop put a Detroit up front, but a couple of the guys encouraged me to go with a limited slip like the Detroit TrueTrac instead. They said the locker would snap u-joints and axle shafts with 35" tires, especially when turning in the rocks. An Air Locker would work because...

    Wack a Door or something???

    You can buy body panel adhesive in a tube to fit your caulking gun. Many body shop supply places will have it. You'll probably have to take the hood off, lay it top down, clean off the old stuff, put a glob of the new stuff on in each spot and then weigh the frame down enough to maintain...

    Wow, what a great day. I'm glad you lefties know how to have a good time to ;) You guys see any 756 pipeline trucks or parts laying around? I need 2 gin pole sockets, the trunion, the sheaves, and any other misc BII

    Wack a Door or something???

    Doors can be a real PITA. Eastwood has a tool that hooks to the door latch and the pin on the B-pillar. You stick a breaker bar on it and it allows you to tweak the door without loosening the bolts. This is for fine adjustment, not big changes. For more than a 1/4" you will be better off...

    M809/M939 5 ton air filter elements

    RE: filter I checked mine tonight. All it had was the NSN. You should be able to take the PN to NAPA and they will cross it for you. My Heavy Truck NAPA loves to see me coming :)

    OK, you can see the target. Grab your BFH and whoop the crap out of it with a BIG drift. Enjoy yourself :)

    Man, that sucker can really twist. Looks like fun, John. I didn't know you were selling it. Are you ready to move on to a different project?

    more pics of unknown deuce+++MORE PICS ADDED+++

    Yeah, I helped DR remove that windshield from a truck at Howard Hammond's yard in KY. It looked just like that one. Interesting truck. It won't look like a WW2 truck captured by the Germans no matter what color you paint it. Depending on how deteriorated it is, it might be worth fixing a few...

    m63a2

    Hmmm, that is a cool looking truck. Nice to finally see some good pics of one in OD. How's he like it so far?

    XM757 frozen drive shaft

    If you do knock the cross out of the female end, take a look at the plug in the end of the yoke. I had an old Chevy drive-shaft that under extreme compression off-road popped the cap/plug out of the end of the yoke revealing the male splined shaft. If the cap/plug is removable on your...

    Poof! here I am.

    Hmmm, well not really a good spot for this post, so we'll just put you in the Mechanical Upgrades forum. By the looks of the bead, I would still prolly run a 10" rim, but I like to err on the side of caution if it is used on-road at all. If its use is all off-road and you really want to do a...

    Nice run there Rich! You got my 14R20's on there? :) What's that smell? Bacon frying? Nope it's Westy's neck!

    Poof! here I am.

    Not really sure what you are talking about David. What are you working on? Are you talking about Michelin XL's? What is a regular aluminum rim? What size rim? A 15.5/80R20 would require a 10x20 rim. What are you cutting to fit? Did you mean to post a picture because I can't visualize a...
