Talk to Bill at Eastern Surplus...$150 for a takeoff with the gear and the flange. Didn’t ask about shipping. That’s cheaper than I got mine for, but mine was NOS from a fellow member who was putting an rebuilt LDS in his M35 and didn’t need the pump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depending on your timeline I can get you one that is complete, and reasonably priced. Shoot me a PM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For sure. My wife said she is gonna bury me in it. Now to find someone who will have an excavator big enough to dig the hole. Unless I trust my sons to take the reigns...and give it the love it deserves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you have access to CAD software? Or know someone who does? I do have a drawing in AutoCAD which you can print out as a full scale template for drilling. If not, I can convert it to PDF with dimensions. If I recall my template was only for the box mounting and the sector shaft hole, not for...

Haha!!! Yeah one of the reasons why I did it too, but then I went the other way, 395’s down to 1100’s. You need a come-a-long to move those 395s at a dead stop! Power steering is still great, even with 900’s I’m sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took her for a decent drive through town and on the highway. Cooler dropped the temp approximately 15 degrees. It’s about 85 here today. Not bad, but I didn’t really need to cool it much anyways. But no more leaks. Horn intermittently chirps when steering slowly though. Something else to check...

Decided to add a cooler. During my original install, I removed and repositioned my return line. I’m doing so, I never replaced the o-ring in the fitting, which developed a small leak. I never liked how my return line turned out anyways. Although my temps weren’t that hot (180 degrees F on a hot...

I'm a hack of all trades! Used to work doing carpentry, then for a non-destructive testing firm, that's when I really polished up my welding since I had access to cool stuff like X-ray, mag particle, UT, dye penetrant, and a host of other stuff to check my work! Now I'm a CAD teacher, they...

I do have to say, if I didn't have such great write-ups to research, read over and over again, and procure parts beforehand, it would have never happened as fast as it did. I think I spent about 4-5 total 10hr days on it, more or less. The rebuild wasn't too bad. I think the adaptor plate on...

There...I think I finally figured out all the broken picture links...aua:jumpin:

You were a big help bud...thanks for all your help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beautiful work! I like that you can just pop open the cover and replace the relay with an off the shelf part! Awesome!!! And something I can do late at night while family in the house are sleep and I'm in my garage with several moderate quality beers! You had me Chuckling a bit on this one...

Another thing I did while I was there was replace a section of the copper airline off the compressor. It had been leaking since I got it due to a frame chafe, and previous owners or the military tried to solder a booger on there to stop it. I had to re-route it around the steering box and ensure...

Well, darn it! Well, I've always hated the location of it regardless and now I can easily change it by simply opening the side hood door like when I check my remote brake reservoir. Maybe I'll have to design a more robust one with my electronics colleagues! Sure someone's been there already...

Thank you! LOL...yeah I had 395's I know your pain. It would take a come a long to turn the wheel at a dead stop!!! The G177s definitely helped, and the hub lockouts, but I still wanted true PS for when I daily drive it to work through town. Hope to take it on some off road camping trips when...

While waiting for my belts and cooling system parts to show up, since it was right there I did some PM on my IP. I replaced a few seals and hoses to it that looked old, as getting to them would be difficult later in without removing the entire IP or PS box. I also bypassed the FDC and deleted...

Thank you, Those are modified MRAP jumpseats with 5 point harnesses similar to a kids carseat. I modded the stock spring base and the passenger bench to accept 3 seats wide. I will end up selling the center one for a shorter seat as it blocks my rear window.

:beer:

Forgot to mention, before I put the system back together, I did the Gringeltaube method of grinding down the spring brackets 5/32" to correct the caster on the front axle. I also replaced my u-bolts with a custom made set (local spring shop) and added 3 leaves to level the truck out more. It...

So now to the box rebuild, since my kit came in. Sure enough, same kit, just different manufacturers. It was good insurance to know I have another on the shelf just in case. The Ross manual I got online (60 pages, PDF) gave a VERY straightforward disassembly and assembly and testing...
