the top fitting is a 1/2 npt and the one off the water pump is 3/4 NPT. Dug got me the sizes just before I went out so I have him to thank for it.
Took about 16 ft total of heater hose to go from the fittings to the far right (passenger) hand side of the cab running the hoses though the...
I am installing my heater tonight and I was wondering if anyone could tell me the size and thread of the fittings you have to install in the side of the water pump and the water manifold. I need to pick it up tonight but left the fittings at home this morning... :neutral:
Also, about how much...
We were laughing about this at work today. Took about 1 second to pick it apart. For someone it would be cool but it is just like a cj2a with a star on it.
Nice, that's just what I wanted to see. Did you flip the hubs on that truck? I was thinking of just dishing them out.
-edit, looking at the pic, looks like you did.
How do they wear on that thing? It is one of the considerations just because I doubt I will ever find replacements for a reasonable price again. I heard they have an extremely long life.
I do have enough rims and tubes to do a completely different set of wheels with these mounted.
I just got a pile of these tires (goodyear G286s) and am thinking of mounting them on a few spare rims I have and trying them out on my deuce. Right now they are on 0 off-set howie rims with the standard 10 on 5 bolt pattern.
Now I have read a ton of threads from a while back on how some...
Finally got it home. It was worth the money just for the trip, bs'd with the marines there for a long time and then visited eldgenb and saw his 920. It is a freaking beast.
Time to relax.
As far as an MV goes, an Abrams is prob the last thing I would ever want to own myself. Don't get me wrong, I would play on one all day, but running one even just to keep the batts charged would drain a small fortune VERY quickly.
We had running jokes in the motor pool on how many hundreds of...
It may be there. I just got an e-mail from GL saying it was not on fairchild and got a new contact number for the Navy yard. i am going to call them and setup Friday for pickup.
PM me Mike about the last cover if you want to sell it and I will grab it at the next rally.
I got drenched because of this. Safty goggles are a must. I was wearing them and got hit in the face with a very large solid stream of motor oil. My neighbor spilled her beer laughing while watching and then brought me one.
I dump it into the tank. Stock filters will catch the crap. I filter the other stuff I get from mechanics and farmers, but not the stuff that comes strait from the engines.
I got one of those cheapo hand pumps from northern tool. I drilled and tapped in a 1/2 inch shaft bolt with a 3/4 head onto the post for the crank. Then I put a old nasty 3/4 inch drive socket on my cement mixing drill I got for 12 bucks at a yard sale.
I can empty a 55 gallon drum pretty fast...
