EMP Resistance??

A question has come up about the design of the Pinzgauer. Is it EMP resistant in it's stock configuration?

If not what kind of spares would be required to keep it running?

Re: Brake Pads

Thanks Paul.

Re: Rear portals leaking

Winter Beater, thanks for the reply. I've found the tools to do the seals. How do you remove the hub with taking the axle off?.

Question. Can the outer portal seal be replaced without pulling the entire portal axle? I watched Vince's yo...

He said that the used car dealers in the Chicagoland area bought it by the case. They would take a car in trade and run it with a ¼ tank of fuel and a can of Seafoam. ...

Thanks Dennis, The starter was rebuilt and now works great. I finally made some time and installed it today. The "bench check" with a pair of jumper cables is NOT the way to check for proper operation. It worked fine on the bench and the starter gear would only go in one direction when I t...

I have not been able to find any Chevron Delo® Gear Lubricants ESI 85W-140 here in Illinois, or any weight Chevron lube.
Any suggestion on where to find the lube? Is there a suitable substitue out there, other than redline?

Lube Oil Change out

I want to do a complete lube change out. I have the Redline GL-4 for the transmission (gearbox).
I'm looking for the lube and the hand pump. I want to change the fluid to something that's readily available in the Midwest. (NAPA Farm & fleet)
Thanks in advance

I just fired up my Pinz last weekend and the solenoid is going out. I was wondering how hard it is to replace?
I haven't even looked at the starter plate.
