    preventable rear suspension failure

    Well now I'm really glad I posted this because I was planning on using two short keys. The newer TM (2320-361-20)I was looking at seems to show one longer key though and I was just thinking that's probably for a reason. You think I should get one longer one?

    preventable rear suspension failure

    Want to contribute some info I came across during my tandem rebuild. I had to replace my rear trunnion (part # 7700126) and I discovered that the NOS trunnion I got from easternsurplus had the keyway all the way down and not just to the outer bearing. So it looks like the flaw that allowed the...

    New-Style (Short) Airpack Teardown & Repair with Photos

    Have it all apart now. So far looks like a much more refined design than the long airpack. No trouble at all opening it up with such detailed pics. Mine probably didn't need to be rebuilt. All the seals are in great condition. Going to save all the parts I'm replacing just in case.

    Stick with DOT5 or go to DOT3/4

    Thanks. I didn't even think of DOT5.1. Going to do a little more reading on this topic.

    Stick with DOT5 or go to DOT3/4

    I'm going to be putting my brake system back together with basically all new parts. I'm seriously considering going with DOT3/4 fluid just because it's easy to get anywhere and I don't mind flushing it every couple of years. Is there any reason to stick with DOT5 if you're basically starting...

    Replace in-tank pump with external solid state pump

    Sure. I remember there was someone selling cheap intank pumps on ebay a few years ago, but havent seen any recently.

    Replace in-tank pump with external solid state pump

    Was trying to find something closer to the stock 7psi. The E8131 is rated 10-14. Is that safe for the injection pump?

    Replace in-tank pump with external solid state pump

    I'm looking at the pump linked below. It looks like a much cheaper option than trying to replace the intank pump. The specs look right, but I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing. Thoughts? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713PZ58C/

    Hex bolt, brake drum to hub - replacement?

    Did they have loctite back in the day? Seems like some red loctite would be a good replacement for the wire? Maybe they went with wire because it wasnt available or wire was just easier to inspect?

    Hex bolt, brake drum to hub - replacement?

    Try mcmaster. They have pretty much any kind of bolt you can imagine

    Wiring harness

    DIY is the way to go. The harness itself is dead simple. Dont see the point of paying 400 for 20 year old (at least) wire.

    Brake drum adapter bolts

    Im working on flipping the hubs and took the brake drum adapter off of one of the drums so that I could get the drum turned. After I did that I realized that the bolts holding the adapter to the drum are in pretty bad shape and I probably wont be able to reuse them. Problem is that I cant find...

    MRAP Rims on a Deuce bolt question

    Since the adapters shouldnt ever have to come off the wheels is loctite a good idea?

    Rear trunnion wear

    Yeah Im pretty sure that a machine shop is going to charge at least as much or more to try and fix this thing as it would cost to get a new one. Plus Id have to haul it all over to have them look at it. Will try to find a new used one. Plenty of trucks getting cut up so cant be that hard.

    Rear trunnion wear

    Yes already found that thread and read over it. Just wanted some confirmation my part was toast before I spent the money though. Thank you!
