    Airpack Rebuild Complications

    So I started having some brake issues and decided to rebuild the airpack, then I ran into a couple issues. First off it looked really good inside the cylinder and the piston's components were all in great shape . . . then in the clean up I used brake cleaner. At that point the felt came unglued...

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    I'll see if I can dig some up and start a thread on it. Had some hard drive fails so lost a section of years in its development. In the meantime here's one of the builds that I did, https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/camper-m109-spacial-transformations-style.54442/

    FDC Bypass Hose Question

    Right. Wanted to replace the line I bypassed the FDC w/ years ago and while I was at it I was just going to change the other two off the secondaries as well. I've always liked using clear line so that I could see certain fuel issues but have learned over the years that the desert is hard on...

    FDC Bypass Hose Question

    My question was just about changing the type of lines used and whether I needed to change all the fittings. My FDC was bypassed about 15 years ago, like I stated earlier. I have no confusion about how to do that.

    FDC Bypass Hose Question

    Would I have to change out the fittings for all three of the lines coming off the finals, or just for that one?

    FDC Bypass Hose Question

    Not leaking as I haven't changed anything yet. I think it was an optical illusion. I had picked up enough 3/8" air line to replace old lines and then noticed that the particular line running between the two appeared larger diameter. I didn't actually do anything as rebuilding the brake air...

    FDC Bypass Hose Question

    For some reason I was under the impression that I had two sizes of fuel lines around my secondary filters, but now i find that I have three. The 1/4" lines from my return, the 3/8" off my secondaries, and the as of yet unknown size that is connecting my secondaries to the bottom of the IP. Is...

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    Never "downgraded" to an LMTV 😆 but have been nomading/overlanding for about 15(+-) years in this rig and have a total of 43 years since I moved into my first rig. The trailer combo is an S-448 shelter sitting on an M-796 bolster trailer. The shelter is removable and trailer can be used to haul...

    G177 tire swap on a M35A2

    What do you mean by "spacers"? The G177s are tires that fit on the stock deuce rims. That means that they need everything that the stock NDTs nedded, tube and flap liner (forget what its really called). The tubes will be sized for the tires, so 11-20s and you can probably get them from any...

    Gear Fluid Life Longevity and Brake [Wheel] Cylinder Rubber Longevity [2-Fold Question]

    Haven't been around the site for a while but still riding the lil Draggin around the western side of the country. If you're still in Tucs I'm just recently back in town for a bit and working on my truck. I've spent years working on my truck in the dirt, not sure I'd know what to do w/ a hard...

    Front main seal replacement

    Thanks, but think we might be talking about different seals. I'm going to be replacing the front engine seal, the one around the crank.

    Front main seal replacement

    I'm getting ready to replace my leaking front seal and I'm wondering if the pullers referred to in the TM are available as loaner tools from some place like Napa, or are they specialized tools for this motor? And of course, any tips?

    M146 landing gear crank handle

    Has anyone had to replace their crank handle and have a source? Have a trailer that is missing both of them so I can't even do a match up. A civi one would be fine.

    M37M35 - I see that some times you leave the crane out on top of the load and not folded up, is there a reason?
