Re: Getting connected to this site

Yes. Just have to hit when there's low volume?
Not sure if it's a resource issue or something else.

Re: Vacuum Wiper Motor Alternative

Done.
The pump is a little noisy but once the engine is going it drowns out everything.(Pump, trains, bombs, volcanoes) :roll:

Re: Vacuum Wiper Motor Alternative

Can anyone post a front on picture of how the wipers sit while 'parked'?

Never mind. I searched the .net and all the original vacuum wipers were parked towards the passenger side.

Re: Vacuum Wiper Motor Alternative

I've been on the fence what to do for quite a while. The Chineseium DC motors are out. Too FUGLY. Since the truck isn't "planned" to be run in the rain and I like the look of the originals... I picked up two NOS wiper motors with arms/blades. Going to run them off a 24vdc vacuum pump. 2025...

Suspect the crush washer isn't doing its job. Try another type?

I use all copper, fits good, no leaks.

Re: Electric steering motor

What is the charging system?

While there's a lot of 24v steering out there I don't think the stock 25a charging system will work.

How tall is the softtop?

I've measured, researched and came up with multiple heights. So, what is the height of the softtop bow?

My 'calibrated eyeballing' says just under 7ft.

After some reading I decided to - Change oil/filter - Put Marvel MO in the gas and oil (cleaning ratio) - Run for two tanks ...

Re: Vacuum Wiper Motor Alternative

I just went out to my shed and looked in "The wiper box". There are two NOS units, 2 used and working units that are spare. (3 almost working. I have the parts to repair) The only thing missing from the spare working units are the nut and spline to mount the wiper arm. I just ran them on ...

Re: Left front fender XM708

Looks like there was a heater installed at one time. If you look at the engine side cowling(?) you can see plugs for two water hoses.
