    Loose Door Mount Mirror Repair

    I had one of the power door mirrors (Passenger side) that wouldn't stay put in the mounting bracket so that freeway speed air loads or a good slam of the door would knock it out of the power adjustment range. I was able to tighten the lower bolt get it to hold still pretty well but the upper...

    Drum Brake issue...

    '92 W-250 that has been ridden hard and wrecked pretty badly by the previous owner. I recently replaced everything in the rear brakes except the backing plate and the hub. New drums, bearings, slave cylinders, springs, pads, adjusting parts, everything. The right brake would grab some times...

    Rear wheel bearing issue...

    I try to get US made parts when I can and I don't object to paying the extra money because cheap parts fail sooner or don't work as well in most cases. Still, sometimes something runs amok and that's the boat I'm in now...er, or at least with the truck on jackstands, the rear wheels, drums and...

    So far so good...

    Finally got the '92 W-250 transmission swap nearly done-at least running down the road in RWD! The exhaust system is in the way of the front drive shaft so it won't get installed for a few more days and wow, is the cab LOUD with no muffler, the floor mat and no boots around the new 5 speed and...

    Fuel Tank Straps replacements are not manufactured but there is hope!

    I talked to Spectra's technical help yesterday and asked them why a part comes up for the later Generation 1 Diesels even though it doesn't fit and I got the technically correct and essentially useless answer "That is why we tell the consumer the part is for trucks with 6 inch frames."...

    Another NV-4500 question-to paint or not to paint?

    While the adapter for the transfer case came painted, the case of the transmission was left bare. I know that heat is the enemy of transmissions but I imagine that a bit of rust after a few years-along with an accumulation of road dirt and whatever-would also potentially inhibit heat...

    '92 W-250/MV-4500 conversion transmission mount question...

    I'm replacing the dead automatic in a '92 with the MV-4500, retaining the NP-205 which I've had resealed (the internals were fine according to the shop). Went with the Midwest Transmission conversion which is pricey and very complete but didn't have a new transmission mounting bracket. I...
