Hey Duane, I need some stuff brought up from Mexico. ......could you......uh.......make a call for me......? I'm just kidding but when I get a chance to go South again, I'm going to load up with MV gear and mention your name. Don't worry brother. I've got you covered. If I fly, even...

Thats great, I'm glad you guys made it home safe and sound. And thanks for the kind words. It was really nice to meet the both of you. Its too bad the weather was so chunky, i couldve given you the full tire kicker tour. As for the border..i have to appologise..i know better than that, you cant...

So for those that are following and those that find interest. Here are a couple of pics of the modified high/low formerly pto shift fork. I don't have fitment pics yet, It's been back to back projects at work the last month and a half so little time to play with my toys. Judging from the last...

Hi all.. So after much delay.. and some vaccinations..I'm back at it while I try and get the shop cleaned up enough that I have room to swing a cat. I took the front shifter rail support apart and it turns out the detent ball for the forward/reverse sprag rod was missing. Not a huge deal I...

That is awesome! Thank you Santa! I'm jammed up for time so ive stalled out at modifying the shift fork and rods. Any and all additional info is extremely helpful. They asked us to work Christmas eve and Boxing day today 8-Z

Haha i know..its supposed to get super (relatively) cold and snow tomorrow..as soon as i can get in there ..im on it. Its next on the dockett..

*Shakes his fist at the sky* ...i know..now theyre forecasting a week of -10 ..just as we get a bc ferry up on the blocks for an afterlife refit.. So tonight i got the output gear/shaft/bearing support back in. If you have to mess with the bearing preload ring like i did you have to install the...

Well here we are..a paltry 6 months since the last post on my thread..time sure flies when the bosses expect you to actually work. So i got the main (upper) rear output bearing off, the new preload adjusting ring on and the bearing reinstalled. I also found a cross for the seal. Its a little...

Sorry you got nailed merle.. we have mud daubbers, bald headed hornets (huge and super agressive..one chased my 240lb linebacker son at a full sprint for a half a mile before it gave up) and some newly arrived ground dwelling black and white bumble bee's that when disturbed, the crazy agressive...

Well heres the vacation update..popped my back the first day off moving a suspension crossmember so i could only manage to sweat blood and do light duty. Still managed to get some critical parts in and out but held off on taking the front clip off the 135. I'm almost to 90% now and back to...

The first 2 cans ..the one in your dominant hand should have the straw in it for range and to begin the assault. Hose down the hive. The second can no straw..wide spread for CQB to take out the enemy fliers that escaped the first strike. Victory will be yours.

I use brake kleen..i get nests almost twice the size of a basketball a couple times a year in sneaky locations.. One can in each hand and a couple spares near by..it takes them right out of the air dead as fried chicken and blocks the pherromone so you dont get every wasp in ten square miles...

Yes soon hopefully..i'm home on the island this week with the wife and attending my brothers 55th birthday tomorrow..i head home monday night with shop on my mind..ive sent a bunch of cars to scrap and done some yard cleanup so i am in a good position to start on the M135. I'll have to put the...

Yeah the KT/KTA's were monsters.. if i had to use a 4 stroke it would be a cummins..as long as i had enough hood! Hahaha. Years ago i had a Mack RS700L with the big..and i mean big V8..it was a brute. Unlimited torque but was sooo thirsty. Lately I've been dreaming a little of a p-pumped DT466...

I'd love to see those pics. Every one of the majors had their share of lemmons. Even with the terrible horrible open-deck-what-were-they-thinking 8.2l fuel pincher at least the deroit people did their best to help you out of a bad situation. They practically give me 2 stroke stuff when i need...

If i could get ahold of a turbo core at a reasonable price i would consider playing with one. What i wont do is order a single part from cat..outrageous prices. Especially when the 3208 became obsolete in 1990. $750 for an overhaul manual and 3 weeks to "assemble" it. Pfft..its their corporate...

My task complete. Swapped a new to us 3208 into the Grove 35 ton carry crane..now i can take a couple weeks off and work in my shop.:beer:

Bah..one emergency docking this week..and another next week..gonna seriously cut into my automotive fun. Hopefully ill be able to get back to this in a couple of weeks.

Well the new to me transfer case that was sent my way by GentrysGarage landed in the yard today. Thanks for your effort in helping line it up and get it to the shipper. What i had forgotten was that i had buried my engine hiost in the shop behind an M37 Cab i plan on doing some welding to this...

I hate you chrysler...and i hate people who assemble parts they know are going to be scorching hot their whole lives with no anti-seize... Just thought i'd share..thanks for letting me vent. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend :grd::beer:
