    How hot is too hot?

    I have finished replacing the rear axle seals and cleaning and repacking the bearings. I adjusted the bearings per the TM, tightening to 50 ft.lbs. and then backing off 1/16 - 1/4 turn (shooting for 1/8 turn) to get the keeper to line up with a flat on the nut. All seems well except for the...

    Year wheels went from green to black?

    GO & GAA lubricants (they're back again!)

    Hi Group, I've been lurking for quite a while, and recently bought a 1968 Kaiser-Jeep M35A2. I bought one that had not run in a very long time, but I had no trouble getting it up and running (blown fuel pump fuse, clogged fuel filters, and air in the lines) and now it runs great. Blind...
