    Bled the Brakes and Now I Have None

    Being a novice at this brings up some concerns. When bleeding brakes with a master cylinder that has been in service for a while, there are some precautions that must be followed. Pumping the pedal to the floor often does more damage. You are forcing seals into an area of the bore that may be...

    Do I need a transmision cooler?

    There exists (or so I am told) a standard rotation high volume water pump.

    M925A2 to M932LA2 Conversion

    Ah, I see now. From the first post I thought you were matching the tractor wheelbase. In fact you are just moving the tandems the same distance from the end of the frame rails as the tractor. That's a great idea. I've converted a deuce cargo to a tractor and lopped off the extra frame, now I...

    Guys, lets not get into another CDL debate. Think physics, not paper.

    Load if you like. I've never been denied towing a trailer off the reservation before..

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    Nor were you questioned on that. Thanks for your contributions. No one specific, just a group of people. The difference is? Perhaps it's because we are thinking of the greater good. You don't see the inherent dangers of what you are doing. We do as a community. When we pointed them out, you...

    South Florida to Louisiana to recover CUCV-II at Jeepsinker's place.

    High mileage on the back side there Mr Shirt. Be safe on those roads.

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    I know what it can move. I also know what it should and shouldn't move. Let me know how that helps when a kid darts out in front of you. That's pretty arrogant considering you have no idea who most of us are or what we've done with these trucks. Attitude like that, calling members names...

    Hose ends ... upgrade to camlocks?

    FWIW all the fuel tankers here at Port Everglades use aluminum camlocks when they do fuel dumps.

    "Serenity" - My M101A2 expedition trailer build

    Cool trailer but wading through photobucket to see all the neatness was a pain. I've done 2 3/4 ton trailers with steel toppers and later this year will be number 3.

    Who says a m1009 cant HAUL

    For me and many of my colleagues, the question isn't "can you?" , it's "should you?" Case in point. We had a member here that had a 40' gooseneck. He drug that thing all over the countryside delivering goods for other collectors using a hemi powered 3/4 ton Dodge.. He towed a deuce dump for...

    Tall but if all you can get is a short one, you can add a spacer.

    Rear Spring Swap hints M1008/1028

    Why are you changing spring packs roadside, with hand tools and a short window to do so?

    M116A2E1 Recovery.

    Looks great. One of the cool things about MVs is they are like painting the house. Give it a good scrape and start rolling.

    Am i expecting too much , or right on target

    Sorry, was just trying to help. I'll delete my post and shut up.

    A gift of a life time.

    Yes! No!! I mean yes! Congrats on your new truck. Any deuce tractor is cool but noooo, please don't listen to Steve. Come June next year, hide that truck from anything Haspin.

    Wreckerman bought a WHAT????

    Sorry, should have qualified my statement with M series. Some of the Caprice staff cars were nice too.
