Well my SS braided hoses, cunifer lines, and MRAP adapter plates showed up from Peashooter. Everything looks great, if anybody is thinking about ordering anything from him, I highly recommend him. Everything is top notch quality and hes an absolutely great guy to deal with. I will give some...
I had mentioned this in a different thread, can't remember which one, but I also got the remote reservoir mounted on the firewall with a ball valve and a port for hooking up a power bleeder. The idea behind it is I can close off the reservoir via the ball valve so when I go to pressure bleed the...
Hey, you never know what might come up. I'd rather be ready for an issue than to be stuck with my pants around my ankles. Plus it was a good deal on the turbo's so I decided to strike while the iron was hot. I do try to make it a point to have back ups for most things, at least as much as I can...
Well, I got the front axles/brakes done, see this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?118090-M35A2-Front-axle-and-brake-service&highlight=
I also just got in a full exhaust kit (which is green! I'm tired of everything on this truck being black :?). I'm not sure when I'm going to...
Quick question for anybody who has dealt with NOS brake shoes... Mine just came in and the friction material on some of them is gray, and on a few of them is more of a tan color. Not something I'm concerned with, I was just curious if anybody knew if there was a difference between them and/or...
I didn't even think to check Amazon...:doh: That definitely doesn't seem like a bad deal at all.
And I heard back from the seller on the brake shoes, the quantity was correct. Also after looking around, it doesn't seem like it was the "too good to be true" deal I thought it was, quite a few...
So I Finally got some parts ordered. Found what I'm hoping aren't "too good to be true" deals... I got 6 lock washers for $21 shipped, three sets of 4 NOS brake shoes for $265 shipped ($22 a piece with shipping). I'm hoping that there isn't something funky with the shoes or the wording on the ad...
Yeah, I'm familiar with driving in mountains. I always downshift in my car when going down hills, but there are some rather steep, winding, and long hills around where we travel that require braking when engine speed gets too high. As I haven't driven the truck in the mountains yet, I'm not...
I'm very familiar with RTV being that I use it with my job on a regular basis, so I'm not gonna goop an entire tube on one gasket ;-). The brake fluid is something that my wife and I have been going back and forth on for a while now. I have literally an unlimited supply of DOT 3 fluid from work...
I am also doing a remote reservoir kit (forgot to mention), and I was planning on building a power bleeder as well. I might need to look into a wheel dolly also, we're wanting to eventually put on singles, and that would make life a lot easier.
So does anybody have any other recommendations...
Yeah, I need to find out which TM all this is in... I've read most people tend to replace the cork seal with RTV, are those the "4 outer seals" that White Owl was listing off to me? Or is that something else?
So its getting about time for us to start doing some work/repairs to our Deuce. I'm kind of anal when it comes to doing work the right way and making sure that everything that needs to be done is done in one swoop. That being said, I plan on tackling the brakes first. Once I start going into the...
