I hear those ghosts are fueled by a heathy dose of a certain beverage mixed with coke. Also, I will hopefully be there.

MBI A72420 is the part number from NAPA for the alcohol evaporator.

I'd second one of the air lines to the sprag being frozen. That's what happened to me.

I got CO poisoned a few years ago when a train I was the conductor on got stuck in a tunnel. The tunnel in which this took place is nearly a mile long, and at it's construction, was allegedly the largest unsupported tunnel in North America. Consequently, since it was built in 1905, it only has...

I concur on the fuel fired heater bit. That +air ride seat and you'll be good to go. The increased maintenance will be a thing to consider, but you've been here long enough to know that. With the fuel fired heater, you won't need to insulate your cab. You need those cracks to regulate the...

Definitely recommend the 50 weight.

If you're talking about the seal that you tap on the spindle on the M35A2, I use a plastic handle (like the one off a gas station like squeegie you buy at autozone) and tap it on lightly with a hammer. It's soft enough not to mar, pit, or bend the metal mating surfaces. If you're talking about...

I switch all the military vehicles I work on over to Rotella ELC coolant. It has excellent corrosion inhibiton properties. Also, add a coolant filter.

Got any pictures?

I could not imagine being not mechanically inclined and owning one of these trucks. Parts are FAIRLY reasonable, but as with anything, labor is the killer. Being my own mechanic, the only thing I'm out is time. Frank said it best, you're not YET in a quandary, as you have not yet drained your...

I'm gonna pull my 5 ton down here in the next few days and take some measurements, see what i can come up with.

Holy cow, a thousand? Someone must be getting into the Colorodo homegrown reserve for that price. You wouldn't happen to have a picture of your heater mount under the hood, do you? Also, no clue on the formatting.

The truck spends a lot of time in single digits during the winter months. So far in my plans I've got a three way split. One for the cargo bed, one for the engine compartment (that i can shut off at temp with a damper) and one for the cab. That MIGHT be enough to eat up the excess heat. I

Bikini weather in the cab, for sure. I absolutely despise riding with a coat on, so this works for me. I was thinking of maybe piping heat under the cab to the cargo bed, to heat under the cargo cover. I figure this will help eat up some of the excess heat, and make it nice and toasty back there.

Okay, I'm bored and it's been a bit since we had some shenanigans afoot here, so here goes. I've got a 60k BTU fuel burning heater kit, which appears to be for an M113 sitting out in the garage. The Exact model is a Stewart Warner 1060-D24. I've got a 1970 XM813 with an anemic at best coolant...

I also plan on changing the fuel button with the coming dual fuel line mod.

I don't have to lean to get it any differently than say, checking my mirrors. Splitting in this fashion is not only the way I was taught to do in the military, but is also the way my truck feels the happiest. Both the transfer case and transmission slide in and out almost effortlessly. When I...

Not to resurrect the dead or anything, but here is some new relevant material for Zebedee's transfer case extension. I got her installed, and finally got a chance to take it for a test run. Enjoy! Sorry in advance for the shakiness of the video. Wife's accessories don't exactly make a good...

Good looking truck. I especially like the seats. Also, welcome to the 5 ton club!
