I have found a WC4 7.5S genset with a willys overland engine. It is an Onan product. From what Ic an tell, it is WWII vintage. It works well and apparently is all there. How much is this Genset worth in fair but working condition? I appreciate your help....

The only drawback from welding the sprag is that when turning the truck you can have a difficult time with the front axle hopping on sharp turns and from the torque in the driveline that results. The sprag accomplishes two things. One is the proper engagement of the transfer case which is...

I got mine at Advanced Auto Parts. I went to the commercial accounts counter. It was an OTC-1907. It took a while for the guy to find it in the book. They ordered it. It came in two days later. I paid about $20. RL

Our company had a DT360 in a truck and we put well over a hundred thousand miles on it before I left with absolutely no issues. The truck was decent on fuel and really never caused any problems. Our truck ran down the road at around 20K gross. The engine was not a "powerhouse" by any means...

my m1007 Here is my 91 Suburban that needed paint so instead of the automotive paint route I went with 3 coilor camo and followed the CUCV pattern for the most part. I found some steel wheels and then some aggressive mud and snows. I am an amateur radio operator so I have 3 radios in the truck...

check the tail lights first. The taillights ground with the mounting bolts. If you had a bad ground on the flasher it would result in erractic operation of the turn signals but the stop lights and taillights would remain unaffected. Since your stop lights are not working properly, I would...

I would take the lenses off the taillights and look for a short inside the fixture. If a bulb socket has a shorted center conductor you could have the erratic symptoms you are having. It only takes having one TURN/STOP bulb partially shorted to ground to cause all sorts of seemingly unrelated...

Dessicant cans from an AC system would simply fill up and then become sponges to hold moisture in the system. That would be counter productive. I would be concerned about solenoid valves as most are a poppet type of valve and would most likely be prone to freezing. If they did, it would be...

Air when compressed is hot and carries more moisture than it can when it is cold. While it sits in the tank, the air charge cools and the moisture condenses into the tank. That is how it gets in there. Now how to deal with it. Always drain your tank immediately when you shuit the truck off...

I agree with JATONKA. I know my speedo jumps and cliicks when it is cold out. I am sure it is the cable and solidified grease spinning around together and binding in the housing. I took the housing off and shot some lube in there to try to ease the problem on my deuce. The vibration from...

using an intank TBI fuel pump I would think that an in tank fuel pump from a TBI equipped GM would be an adequate lift pump for a 6.2 or 6.5 diesel. They work better with a return line so the pump stays cooler. When you have a high stall scenario for an electric fuel pump it cavitates and...

I live near you and can stop by so you can take all the measurements you need. PM sent.... RL

pour it all at once! In estimating the amount of concrete needed you add extra for the reasons stated. What makes the difference on how accurate your order is is how carefully you prepare your forms and subbase. The more care you put into grading, compacting and leveling your forms, the more...

So CLinto, what did you do to install the lift? Maybe this should be in the original thread, but it seems relevant here. RL

Why would anyone want MRS.EARTH to learn to rebuild an LDT when she is so good at finding new ones? Mr. Earth, you are well loved! RL

Just as in road building, the subbase is what holds the weight. If you have excess moisture in the subbase you can cause soft spots which will cause the slab to crack excessively. I would make sure there is a deep layer of coarse gravel under the slab and make sure the area under the slab...

If you fill the housing with a lubricant that clings well, is not like concrete in the cold, it will keep the moisture from freezing the cable in the housing. I just did not think to "lube" mine before the freeze. It was fine until I took a 7 hour ride in the slop a couple of weeks ago. I am...

As I write, my parking brake is stuck on. It is not a problem with the brake shoe freezing to the drum or any issue with the machanical linkage. It is due to a frozen cable. I looked mine over and the frozen section is in the portion of the cable where it lays horizontal between the frame and...

I cannot offer any specific answer. I know from my experiences that cold weather increases the amount of moisture that will accumulates in a trucks air system. Any moisture in an air assisted brake system is a danger especially in cold weather. Air lines can freeze and any air acccuated...

Maybe you could flip the scenario.... take a cool street cruiser, and apply a little OD magic to it. Military Tires, paint, seating and of course a convertible top. Make a really slick ride into a proper O.D. RIDE RL
