    planning an LDS swap

    Ideally, that area between pump and rad. should not be left open. Especially at higher ambient temperatures you want the fan to suck all the air through the core - and help keep those 50 extra horses cool! I say that there is enough room to accomplish that, without any risk of interference -...

    Help with 10 Lug wheel conversion

    Those are just made of aluminum...; stud-centered 2pc tubeless bolt together design; wheel width; stud hole circle; pilot hole, backspace; all seems to be the same as for the steel FMTV wheels. Definitely NOT MRAP wheels. G.

    Winch Help! Need Ideas on how to remove clutch sliding keys from winch

    OK, then plan "B": contraction - after been heated real hot... I don't think it would affect the shaft if you heat the key (or what's left from it) to light red and then let it cool down. Not the full lenght; just one inch at the time! And of course, heating had to happen with your biggest...

    M62 wrecker hoist turn table info any one?

    Drawings were copied from this fine TM. Other info was taken from that classic book ORD 9 SNL G-742, Jan1955. (Took me a while before I found out that there is a misprint on the number for the upper bearing cup #7406935, on page 593...) See resulting GIF files, attached below... G.
