    Power steering pump woes

    The previous unit didn't fail. The bolts fell out, from vibration... It was being held in by the belts, and STILL working.... I will look through the TM and see if anything helps.. BUT, I did notice it was leaking..... and NOT from the 3 holes at the bottom.... I opted to replace it...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Picked up an M109 box on a trailer. Unfortunately, because of the previous owners health concerns.. But it's going to a good home (mine), and it'll be back in tip-top shape in no time.

    PNW-7TH Annual Chehalis River Valley M/V Gathering

    Funds will be tight (unemployed for six months, just got new job), but I'll bring water, soda, etc. for everyone. I will need a couple coolers with ice though, if someone wants to bring some so I can chill the drinks for the weekend, that'd be appreciated.

    Do NOT use zinc/galvanized... use black/brass ONLY. The diesel will eat the coating, and you'll have crap lodging in filters...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    HAZMAT training drilled into my head says fuses aren't always best... :-p When I got them for free, it was fine.. Now that they're like $10 for 3 of them.. Meh.... Collapsible LED road cones are my next idea...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I tossed a tire... tread separation blowout... on my M1031.. @ 60MPH and realized... 1. It's fairly easy to control, even missing a tire. 2. People are #(&#(&, and think they're more important, passing you as you're trying to get to the shoulder with a blown tire. 3. Once ON the shoulder...

    WA state m923a2 registration

    I was advised by WSP, and quite a few other states that I drove through (called ahead) on the trip from NC to WA... that a CDL is only required if the vehicle is being used for commercial purposes. In WA, there is an air brake endorsement, but ONLY for CDL drivers, so if you don't need a CDL...

    M1031 vibration when stopped

    I just noticed my gen1 light is flickering, and goes away when you hit the gas... Methinks the idle may be off a bit.... Probably contributing, but not the sole cause. Will work through the list of things you guys said to check. Thanks.

    M1031 vibration when stopped

    OK, I picked it up, and noticed a vibration at all RPMs, suspected the harmonic balancer, so I checked, and sho nuff, it was wobbly.. Replaced it, and the vibration went away... for a bit... I now have probably 200 miles on the replacement balancer. Now, at idle, in anything BUT park, and NOT...

    I believe 85.5+ used a different relay, so the doghead mod is not required.
