I have been trying to search the classifieds for a part, but the search function hasn't really been working for me.
For instance, I am have been trying to look and see if there are any brake hose kits listed, so I type "brake hose" in the search and it brings me all sorts of listings. The only...
Most gas engines used a bolt that passed through the rod, and was held from turning by a shoulder on the head of the bolt. I have worked on an engine (can't for the life of me remember what it was though, but it would have been something old school) that had studs that screwed into the rod.
One...
I was just thinking about this the other night. Has anyone tried sourcing a stud to replace the bolt, and then just use a nut instead. I imagine it would be a lot easier to find a stud that will do the job rather than these hard to find and very expensive bolts?
Not too piss anyone off, but as another person that is fairly new to the site, a lot of you kind of come across as really condescending to people that ask questions. In reality, there is a TM that covers pretty much every component and situation that may come up with one of these vehicles. You...

Lip servicing a M135...........well thats a mental image that won't go away any time soon! Thanks! Lol
Wow Sean, looks winter sure hit hard and fast there. Any troubles with the truck in the cold?
Bahahaha! Just snorted coffee on my computer!
Man, looks a lot better than up here. Green grass! I wish, it's been snowing all dang day. How are you running the gps? Does the truck have 12v power too, or are you using an inverter?
Hmmm, I had replied but it didn't show up.
Anyway, the fan clutch looks a lot like a Horton clutch, which is quite common. Might be able to find parts at a heavy truck place. From what I could find, it should need air to disengage. Easy way to check, when the truck is off and there is no air...
