Just adding some visual aides...

On the front axle I would recommend checking the torque on the nuts that hold the spindle to the knuckle while you're into it; mine were almost loose.

I finally came across the elusive photo of a 2.5, 5, and 10-ton trucks all hanging out together in 1 frame for size comparison or just MV eye candy 😍 What's neat is they're all wearing the same vintage of paint scheme. Maybe they are all part of the same collection? - who knows. Definitely...

It's been done and I think there were pictures of it on this forum. It's been many beers since I saw the pics so I have no clue where the write-up is stashed or who did it. Seems like it would be an item with a decent demand within this group.

Is the reserve price 6 figures?

I hope he got some cruises out of it before it sells. Having a boat like that probably doesn't happen everyday.

A Navy SeAL Riverine Assault Boat (RAB). You would be the envy at any boat launch. They only want $395,000...what a steal!

Chain up and go! (Not mine)

Maybe it's just me and it would be short lived, but I would love to see an M813 with a 1000 hp big cam do a 6wd burnout! 😁

I'm kinda hoping that my Prestolite wire is made of all the best materials that the EPA and California have since banned that might be caustic to rodents. So far so good...

There was a time when Subaru had wire harnesses made with a soy-based wire insulation (for environmental reasons) that the rodents just loved. It was such a problem that they had to change their formulation somewhere around 2007-ish?

Veteran's Day 2021 My truck is at about 19:30

IIRC, you have a SWB 818 chassis - are you running a shortened bed?

I ordered a new dipstick on ebay (thanks Simp) and the fresh rubber of the new part holds it all in without any problems.

Success! I just warmed up the engine, opened the valves, purged the air out of the heater core and now I have hot air in the cab with no fluid leaks! Man, thats a good feeling and a long time in the making. *One thing I found is that with the front half of the air canister removed there is...

Today I plumbed in the heater hoses over to the heater core. My Stauff clamps are probably stuck on a cargo ship offshore so I had to use zip-ties as a temporary fill in. Once the hose clamps arrive I'll mount it all up proper and trim the long hose down to match.

Sure does...

I know what you mean. I want mine to be capable of that and I would install a fording kit if I could find one, but I don't want to take it swimming. A full suite of oil changes is about $1000 these days...

Bouncing has been attributed to worn dog bones in the past so it would be good to check those. I would be willing to trade you my stock 11R-20s for your 14R20s straight across! Seems like no one does it anymore for liability reasons but they used to set up a shaving machine beneath a jacked...

Not sure about the electrical stuff but when outfitted with the deep water fording kit there are valves and lines that supply subtle air pressure to the axles, tranny, t-case, clutch housing, and maybe even the crank case. In theory the internal air pressure is greater than the external water...
