    Injection pump problem

    PP; The tolerances on these pumps are so exacting my suggestion and experience is to have the professionals do the work. It's cheaper and they have all the specialty tools needed to do the job right the first time. Be sure to use a fuel injection shop, not just a truck shop. I learned the...

    Forum Color Change!

    Guys, Not only do we know what a "poll" is but it's really interesting being the only Swedish family in German country. There has only been five times living here that someone spelled our last name correctly! Usually people butcher it into some German version. So far I've seen about 22...

    loud, DEEP tone air horn?

    Guys, the set screw adjusts the diaphram and thus the pitch of the horn. If you really want loud air horns get a set called "Organ Tones" from Navistar/International Trucks. I had two on each of my semis and they were the LOUDEST legal horns I could get. Believe me they were the deepest eye...

    saw the USMC Oshkosh 7 ton MTVR this weekend

    Guys; When Union Pacific stopped on the tracks this summer they had over 100 flat cars of these fresh from the manufacturer! The plastic was still draped over the seats! I got a free up-close and personal look. These things are AWESOME! By the time I came back with my camera they were gone...

    Need new radiator for M35A2

    Robb, I'm afraid to say, but $600 is about right for a recore give or take a few dollars. New Deuce radiators are usually more.

    My M880 with Humvee tires

    Larry, I guess I need to take a road trip to MO! Looks like about a six hour drive from here.... Weekend blitz!?! Is this gentleman open on the weekend? Just thought I'd ask.

    Need new radiator for M35A2

    Robb; Please do not forget to fill out your info in the signature box. I suspect you may have overlooked it. Go to your profile and look carefully for the signature box and put in the info you listed in your post here and you won't have to repeat yourself all the time. If you want some ideas...

    HOLY CRUD!!!

    JT, If you are good at metalwork you can make your own. All you need is a 24v blower motor, a heater core, some sheet metal, some heater hose, a couple of spickets that fit the engine block, some angle iron, two pieces of ducting, some electrical wire and a switch and you are in business. All...

    My M880 with Humvee tires

    Larry, I was in but never used any of them. Several buddies in CA where I was stationed loved to use them and preferred them to the M1009's and M1028's we had. Does that help?

    pinion brakes

    MM; Wow! Please tell me those are not Isuzu rotors! Did everything bolt up directly or was a little creative engineering required? That looks like a more effective parking brake than what's standard on these things or perhaps I should say easier maintainence. Let me know.

    cool deuce pic of the day

    Ken; My three year old is about the same way! He loves riding shotgun whenever he can, awake or sleeping. BTW, I love the Indiana University cup cubby! Go Big Red! Anyway I'm feeling much better now. The kids gave me one rough flu to fight. Also, check your PM too.
