I like the pictures but how did you do it ? Especially the air over hydraulics.

I like your fire extinguisher on the front fender. I think I will do that with mine. Easy access if you ever develop an engine fire. Just have to secure it from sneaky hands !

If you want to use the alcohol unit there should be a hex nut on top that comes off. You fill it with "denatured" alcohol to the indicator line. The military never officially sanctioned their use as far as I know so there will be no documentation on it from them. In todays truck world everyone...

That very well could be the original mileage. Unless it had a total refurbish done to it at sometime. But in all reality I only saw a few deuces that had all the differentials and transmissions and transfer-cases replaced. Most differentials last the life of the truck as do the transfer-cases...

He will be able to use the winch as long as he doesn't use anything else. If he turns the steering wheel while winching it will steal power from the winch and vice/versa with the steering. Since the steering doesn't use any "power" unless the piston is moving and the same with the brakes he will...

To bad you couldn't save the seal. Those where the factory seals for deep water fording. I installed many of those when I was rebuilding all those military gear boxes in the mid 1980's. I wish I could find someone who still carried them NOS. Of course you can just use the seals now and just...

As long as it works then that is all that matters.

You have other problems besides the vent hole. You have some major rust issues ! There should not be any rust in the master cylinder. Your bores could be rusted also, so you need to take this unit apart and see what is going on here.

Honestly you never know what some shops consider a rebuild. Myself if I just replace a few parts and adjust everything I call that a "refresh" . Now if I call it a rebuild it will have all new bearings and bushings and seals and all parts will be within factory specs. You need to talk with the...

Looking good !

I just did a little research on this. The "mile marker" 12,000 winch needs a pump with a minimum of 3.5 GPM at 1500PSI . So if you have a standard power steering pump on your M1031 you will have a 3.5 GPM at 1450PSI pump installed. This is just enough for the winch itself, no power steering or...

I think you will find the steering pumps in those HMMWV's are higher capacity then your stock pump. I have a K30 dually and the pump can get over-whelmed when steering hard and braking at the same time. I even went with a high capacity pump just because of this and at times it will still kill...

Good advice ! I would go with the 4-0 welding cable myself. Make sure all the batteries are the same ! This is important in a system like this.

Sounds like you have a good handle on this problem. As far as the injection pump oil lines go you can have a good hydraulic shop make you up a set. I went with PTFE stainless steel lines since I never want to have to do that job again.

Your just used to the European way of fitting bearings like the MAN trucks and buses. They all are press fit. American vehicles have a tight fit but never pressed fit. A few thousandths clearance is the norm. This is to allow for expansion of the bearing race due to heat. By the way, welcome to...

A really good rivet to use in this application is the "Marson" SSB8-6SKL . They are 1/4" dia. with a grip range of .080"-.375" and are all stainless steel. I would also recommend to anyone doing the cab support bracket that they rent or buy an air-powered rivet gun. Their is over 100 rivets that...

There is some rust, that is why I am constantly cleaning and wire brushing everything and then spraying primer on it. It is a constant chore. That is one reason why I always replace all the bolts with stainless steel when I work on a project. The only bolts not stainless steel are any that must...

Thankfully it happened as he was driving up to the house we where sharing (roommates) when we were going to trade school. He ran into house screaming his car was on fire. The flames where shooting up around the hood. They really took off when we opened it ! I remember I was shooting the...

OK, the cam gear is pressed on with an alignment key and some bolts to keep it on.

If I'm running empty I put 40psi in the front and 30psi in the rears. Though it steers pretty hard, it doesn't bonce. On the freeway I use at least 50psi up front.
