    What day of the week does GL post new MV/Deuce Auctions?

    CAT 7155 Manifold rebuild

    Next questions: How are you cleaning up the parts? Looks like bead blasting might leave too rough of a surface and tear up the new O-rings. Did you put the manifold back on the trans to test it? Is it OK to "dry shift" the trans (without it turning)? I would hve never thought the...

    CAT 7155 Manifold rebuild

    Need parts source for 2 things

    The thermostat gasket is same as M38A1 Jeep, lots of the army jeep suppliers have those. On the hose, even if you find a NOS one it will be too old. I just bring the old one in to my local auto parts and find a pre-formed hose that has a 45 in it and cut to fit.

    M172a1 trailer wheel cover plates

    I had to change a inner dual on my M172A1 and I was able to do it without needing the overhead access. I have the same idea, those plates are heavy as heck.
