    M101A2 shock replacement

    Ok I assume they are a direct replacement fit? I would have to paint them and get a black dust boot. That's just me. Last weekend was doing some dirt work on the ranch. My brother was running the tractor and I wanted some fill dirt loaded in the M101A2. Wasn't paying attention as I was...

    M101A2 shock replacement

    Just curious What is it about the Rancho shock that you like besides the brand? What did the other shocks not do? I believe that you usually get what you pay for.

    M35a3 vs m923a2 need some opinions

    Just how fast are you wanting to go? The 5 ton isn't much faster. Tires are limited to 55. No matter how well balanced, they tell you what speed they like. I know some guys drive faster, but you still have to stop. The faster you go, the harder to stop. Cars love to pull out right in front...

    That sealant they use is like peanut brittle, only sharper. Some had broken up inside PCB. When I rebuilt mine I took (broke) all the old sealant out and used black Aviation silicon to seal it up. Yea, sounded like marbles inside. Rebuild was very easy and took about an hour.

    Starter turns when key out of ignition

    All your issues are fixable. Its not hard, just time consuming. Doghead Starter Relay should have been installed first thing. Then fix the rest, one thing at s time, as already suggested. Post pics and questions here. The knowledge base is greater if you share the process with everyone.

    Starter turns when key out of ignition

    Pull it to a shop? Rarely do they know how to work on a cucv. I highly recommend you hold off on that. Step back a bit and read up. Take one thing at a time. It's fixable. A shop unfamiliar with these trucks usually make things worse. Post pics here. Guys with amazing cucv knowledge are...

    On the fence about a cucv

    It's either work on it and buy parts like you mentioned. OR Have a nice big car/truck payment and have to take to dealer for someone to put the computer on it. @ $90+ an hour. My M1008 is extremely reliable. Drive it everyday. I don't buy cheap parts and replace or repair anything if there...

    S-280 Shelter. It's final ride

    Mine originally had two boxes mounted on it. They were only for venting. Original A/C unit had already been removed. The small A/C will work fine since the shelter will be in the shade most of the time.

    Will Circular Runways Ever Take Off?

    Will never work Well maybe for STOL aircraft One concept where the Cons really outweigh the Pros. Speed for takeoff is high and the airframe has a lot of momentum. You cannot bleed off speed on the ground, during an emergency, going in a circle, safely. Even moderate lateral forces are...
