    If its time to paint call RAPCOPARTS.COM

    Rapco’s Gillespie CARC substitute paint is the correct color but nowhere near the correct flatness.

    Looking for a M1079 Mechanic

    Have you at least changed the oil in the hubs? If when you drain the oil you get filings out that will tell you a lot.

    What do I do with this motor?

    These engines are dying right and left these days. Every week or so someone comes on here telling us their 250 sounds “like a bucket of rocks”. Take out a classified ad on here and sell it.

    What do I do with this motor?

    Welcome. Your engine could be factory new, depot rebuilt, or an engine that was pulled out of a truck due to a fatal flaw. Paint on the engine usually tells the tale. Bright fasteners means new, all black paint everywhere is rebuilt, all black but evidence of being installed means dead. But...

    Looking for V belt part # for A/C on 3116 (Driver side)

    See where it says 55 inches? If you take that length plus the width of the pulley to the auto parts store, they can match it. Sorry I don't have the Dayco number, but this belt is nothing special.

    parallel 803A's on MJQ-37

    The Hertz of each generator needs to be identical to allow paralleling. So if either generator is off a little, you will not be able to parallel. Next, the alternating current waveform has to match between each generator before the transfer can occur, otherwise loads will suffer and the...

    Decontamination bed CCKW

    Hmm, if you restored it, you already have a picture of all that it would be good for, a museum display. The structure looks like it just needs new planks. The tank looks like it would take some very special carpentry to remake the wood pieces. Not sure what I would do with it.

    Newbie Needs Advice on HMMWV

    My advice on paint comes from my efforts in the past to paint prep HMMWVs like the one in the attached picture. NOTHING is more time consuming than attempting to prep a truck like this for a decent looking professional paint job. 5 or more flaking coats of military applied CARC with zero prep...

    My Carb is Driving Me Nuts!!

    Biggest mistake people make in rebuilding carbs is hoping tiny passages are clear. You MUST run a drill through each and every passage.

    Newbie Curious What I Missed

    Big question to me would be did you end up with a GM engine or a GEP. 2000 was the change year. I think GM. See the bar code decal, that’s a GM thing. I also don’t think that engine has ever been removed or rebuilt which is a good thing. Given the engine is NA, most likely the cracks that...
