I just started my flame heater delete project today. I was armed with the M18 (spark plug) and M20 (Fluid Restrictor) plugs, but as Jeepsinker said, it seems the M20 plug is too small. No amount of Teflon tape would help this plug, had I used it. I could pull the M20 plug out by wiggling it...

Thanks for the input everyone. Now that I got them in once, it will only take 45 minutes or so to switch them out. My u-bolts have two coats of paint on them, and the springs and axle seat also had a good coat of CARC on them. I'll keep an eye on it to see if moving to steel is appropriate...

Earlier this year, I put 395/85R20 XZL tires on my M105 with recentered HEMTT wheels done by Stazworks in Wisconsin. I did this so that I would have two spares for my M35A2, and so that the trailer sat more level with the truck - now that the truck has those same wheels & tires on it. So...

Welcome from a fellow MN resident. I live in Eagan (SW Minneapolis/St. Paul metro), but I have a cabin up near Grygla (40 miles SE of Roseau).

Welcome to the site. I am also from MN. I live in Eagan and have a cabin in NW Beltrami county (40 miles SE of Roseau, 15 miles North of Grygla). ~ Thad

I sure hope to get my FDC bypassed and the manifold heater removed before the show. Then, I can bring my truck down. Otherwise, I am gaining oil, and I'll make the trip without the truck. So, I am looking for a couple of things: 1. Fiberglass racks for an M105 2. Pair of windows for an...

I know what you mean, Neil. My truck is leaking fuel into the crankcase, and I have to bypass the FDC and remove the manifold flame heater. It's parked 90 miles away from where I live, so I hope I can get this done before the trip. Otherwise, I don't want to drive it that far in its current...

Back-up lights! I finished my install of the back-up lights today. I had a switch housing made at my local machine shop (Ickler in St. Cloud, MN) from the schematics that Peashooter posted in post #44 of this thread. I also bought the switch that Peashooter suggested in post #47 of this...

I just put a set of XZL 395's on m M105A2 trailer this past weekend, and as expected, it doesn't have much clearance to the fender. My guess is that someone has done this already. What do you think of the idea to give it a few inches of lift? If that has been done, I would love to hear how far...

I'm not really an expert on what kind of pipe to use (or anything else for that matter). As such, I got a section from the dealer that sold me the Donaldson muffler and the Donaldson Stepped SealClamps. I did the same as you plan to do - I got one 36" section to come out of the top of the...

Donaldson M070028 stack stands straight up That looks like a Donaldson M070028 muffler. I put the same one on my truck. My stack stands straight up with the original brackets (TM 9-2320-361-20P, Fig. 34, item #8, 11677118, "Support, Exhaust PIP" and Fig. 34, item #9, 11677120, "Hanger, Engine...

I've done the 5-ton power steering mod that booger showed a picture of in post #16 of this thread. I had to shorten the steering shaft below the box a bit. I also took a 5-ton steering arm ball stud and had the threads machined down so it would mount in the same place the 2.5 ton steering arm...

2015 Iola registration Form Look what came in the mail today. I've been there the past two years, but this year will be the first year I bring my truck. How exactly does that work for registering for a space? Do you request an area, or do they assign you an area? Do you guys camp in your...

So ... about that camber issue. I know this thread is eight years old, buy can anyone give me some guidance as to how the axle is cut and welded to adjust camber? I am a long ways away from Orlando, so I'll need to find someplace local to do this.

Thanks for all that great info, Z! I will not get a chance to work on these for another week, but I will follow your guidance when I dig in. I am sure that I will have questions for you later. Thanks again.

Yikes! The guy running the forklift that was loading my MEP-802a units was not as skilled as he should be either. I wanted to say, "let me give it a try!" I think it's sometimes a matter of who is available and not who is able.

I recently won a GL auction for two MEP-802a units and just got up to Camp Ripley, MN to pick them up. Here's my story, which may sound familiar to many. GL advertised these units as condition B. When I got the paid-in-full invoice, it listed both units as "Demil A." That was a pleasant...

MEP-802a battery Back to the battery question from the OP, even if it was a couple months ago. I just picked up two MEP-802a units I won off auction a week ago. I got two 12 volt 51R batteries from Fleet Farm for $80 each. They were 500 CCA and 6-year warranty. They fit perfectly on both...

That M200a1 is the trailer I usually see these units on. Thanks for identifying it. $350 is a great price on one of those, but I am too far away to economically recover it.

Thank you. There doesn't seem to be many of them out there for sale. I see that Eastern has then for $1,750 - but that's too rich for my blood.
