Sorry I’m in southern part of the state, I don’t know any mechanics up north. BUT there are several members here who might, @Gunzy comes to mind.
Boyce is up near there, as well as Industrial Injection. Can’t think of any others though, my apologies…
IIRC, the original master cylinder vent line was connected to the crankcase vent line in the engine compartment…a MWO or TSB was issued to disconnect the brake vent line from the crankcase vent due to engine vapors fouling the brake fluid and master cylinders. So the majority should just vent...
I flushed my PS system several years ago & have used standard power steering fluid from NAPA in it with what seems to be good results….no issues so far. (M931A2)
I have had 2 or 3 of those at one time, it looks to be an original M105 (A0) or M105A1 model. Look at the data plate, the Federal Stock Number is short 2 digits to make it a NSN. The landing wheel is non-adjustable and quite fun to try to retract by yourself…I usually used a Hi-Lift jack on...
Amen to that… I did say that mine was several years ago right?!? It had to be, because I suckered her into helping me bleed the brakes on our newly-acquired M246 just a week or two ago…. :ROFLMAO:
Mine did same thing several years ago, it was exhaust gasket. PITA to replace as nearly every stud wanted to break off in spite of torch heating, penetrating fluids, wax, etc….
The telltale signs were black soot coming from failed gasket areas.…as well as having my wife watch for smoke when...
I owe a large debt of gratitude to Wes ( @simp5782 ) and David ( @155mm ) for helping me with purchasing, storing, and transporting my M246 wrecker.
Wes found it for me via Purple Wave Auction and gave me invaluable advice that helped me with the winning bid.
David helped recover it and stored...
16.00R20 tires won’t fit on a stock Deuce, unless you do some serious sheet metal trimming & extend rear tandem suspension dogbones so tires won’t rub treads. A company used to offer an 8-inch lift kit for bobbed Deuces to clear 16.00s (Black Rock Fab? Can’t remember…).
395s are the tallest...
I usually got it as a concentrate…. But if you pour half a jug into a clean 5-gallon bucket & mix an equal amount of distilled water into the half-jug, you now have 50/50 mix. Use a large funnel to pour concentrate back into jug. I keep used antifreeze jugs to store my mixed 50/50 antifreeze...
I use distilled water only to flush…too many impurities in tap water. If there’s oil in your antifreeze then add some Cascade dish soap to clean it all out (and find/fix the problem), if you’ve got lots of rust & scale then flush with white vinegar.
Otherwise go to NAPA to get the green...
The front axle is engaged by an air piston on the transfer case, flip the switch below your light controls to engage front axle drive. The transfer case lever selects between Low, Neutral, and High ranges.
Blackout drive provides a very small beam of light intended for assisting drivers while...
What state was the truck originally registered & titled in? Is this an out-of-state purchase, if so, was it from a state that would register it but not issue a title due to its age? This latter sounds like why your DMV is making you jump through these hoops. The better & sooner you can answer...
