    The problem they have in the snowy north with LED traffic lights is they produce almost no heat and in snow storms the covers the lights so you can't see them .

    best way to level 1986 m1009

    Finding 2 inches in a bent frame isn't rocket science , if you can read a tape measure . 30 years ago when this truck was built very few frame racks had lasers , they used a tape measure.

    best way to level 1986 m1009

    If it is 2 inches out of wack, a level concrete slab and a tape measure should be able to determine if its a bad suspension , bent frame or rotted body mounts . I would narrow it down before shelling out money on having it put on a frame machine .

    Air Dryer Fixed!! - Was Stuck on the side of the road!

    If you have never serviced the air dryer ( filters ect.) cleaning and greasing the valve is a band-aid fix. It is never a good idea to cut corners on the air system or air brakes in general to save a few dollars.

    Fuel Tank very slow leak and Fuel gauge not registering full

    The fuel leak could be a line leaking since only leaves a small spot . The fuel gauge is either a bad ground or bad sender . But your on the right track to drop the tank . While you do that replace the rubber fuel lines at the tank and the sock in the tank . Good luck .

    coverting a CUCv from 24V to 12V

    It is not a bad idea to have a spare stater and a spare alternator on hand if you own a MV. This will eliminate the no money to fix or can't find one when you need it . If it isn't your daily driver breaking down isn't that big of a issue , but if the starter goes out on a sunday afternoon and...

    Looking for help - Tcase Blew Up

    I would start with a complete used transfer case . It also looks like you need a new driveshaft or at least a new tube . The bend in that one would make a GL fork truck driver proud.
