I have seen some folks asking an exorbitant price for vinyl cab tops ($250+) You can order one straight from the manufacturer for ~$170. It takes about a month to get. They also have cargo covers and bows. http://www.gmacover.com/

I am not trying to fan the fire, but I'd like to know a little more about the multifuel's weaknesses.

You can use a 7812 for small loads (radio shack has 'em). Anything larger is best served by a DC-DC converter. There are a several commercial solutions but you can also build your own. Linear Tech has one that looks suitable for 5A loads. If there was demand, I'd consider building and...

You need to know the load current before you can determine the resistor value. Dropping resistors are not a very good solution. The best would be a separate regulated 12V supply for your trailer.

I have an otherwise quiet gas truck. This heater has a high frequency whine like a vacuum cleaner.

Sam winer motors had wheel cylinders for ~$16 each. Not worth messing with rebuild kits IMHO.

I am using DOT 3 which, by design, soaks up moisture. This is not a problem if you flush it out periodically.

I bought a 24 volt heater very similar to the Mojave. $35 on ebay. Made by Red Dot. Just enough BTUs to run the defroster. Very noisy.

Antique Auto Cellar specializes in fuel pump rebuild kits. http://www.then-now.com/The_Cellar/cellar.htm

My holley carb book shows a holley fuel pump in pieces and it looks like the same as the reo style holley. The edelebrock appears to be a copy of the holley. The bolt pattern for the reo is the same center to center with a BBC. The reo has larger diameter bolts. My plan was to buy a good...

I got two junk rebuilt fuel pumps from there... No warranty. Fuel pump kits are available from the antique auto cellar. The problem is that most cores are worn out. The good thing is that the fuel pumps are universal; you just have to exchange your arm. There is an edelbrock fuel pump...

I called Memphis Equip this morning and talked to their parts dept. They do NOT have any more sprag eliminator kits. They sold the last two this month and ar not going to make any more. They haven't found a cost effective company to manufacture the gears so they are not going to mess with...

I'll give Memphis a call on Monday but here is their response to my email: -----Original Message----- From: James [mailto:jyork@memphisequipment.com] Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 1:45 PM To: 'info' Subject: RE: M35 transfer case REB kit I'm sorry Jason we no longer have the m 35 reb...

I clearly stated "m35 transfer case" in my email. But, you never know... IF I replace the sprags, how reliable is the sprag transfer case? Obviously, they are a wear item but how long should they last? Gerhard, Are you offering to sell just the sprags themselves?

The REB kit is no longer available. Anyone know of a source for an air shift transfer case near SE south dakota?

You don't need the adapter. Use a civy spark plug and wire. Trim ~1/4" insulation off of the wire and stuff it into the disty.

The lines to the military disty are for the governor. Neither the civy nor military 302s had vacuum advance; it wasn't used in the big trucks. It would be of limited value in a large truck since you seldom are at light load. You can stay 24V regardless of whether our not you keep the...

The best thing you can do is convert to a civiliian style distributor. Get a disty from an early chevy six. You can also convert to a pertronix electronic ignition. I used the 1167 pertronix in my m35 but the gmc is the same internally. You will need to keep the original ballast resistor and...

The transfer case is adjusted OK. The reverse sprag is fine; I can back out of anything. If I start from a stop (jerk), the sprags catch. It would slip once in awhile this summer so it is probably safe to say that it is worn out.

Thanks for the advice. REB it is.
