Interesting day/night yesterday. I decide to take the truck to work last night (3rd shifter here). Did my pre-trip, all systems go. Fire up the truck, let her warm up. All is good. I get about half way to work (apprx 5 miles of stoplight to stoplight) and notice the temp gauge is pegged at...

It is a tight fit. Mounted mine up a while ago, just getting around to hooking them up electrically. Removed my flame heater switch because I am removing the system entirely. Found a nice little hole for my light switch to go! Low and behold, it has a nice power wire right there too. I...

I've got this available when needed. Lifting things is not an issue.

Thanks Peashooter! Here are the part numbers I used from napa (all walker numbers): 49012, 41686, 41378 and I was able to return what I didn't use of the 10 foot pipe.

I just have the one board done currently. Had to get the truck over for the snorkel, hauling some brush this week, and working on fluid changes so the racks got put on back burner again. The universal Napa muffler that is on there is great. Quieted it down quite a bit, but it is a whistler...

Thank you. I was hoping for a different answer, but it is what it is. I'll get at it then.

Dropped my truck off with a buddy so he could do some welding on the truck. Meanwhile, I got to drive his truck to work!!

Trying to get the deuce ready for the Iola Military Vehicle Show coming up soon. Is there a "quick" and easy way to inspect bearings without a complete dis-assembly? I've never had to do brakes or bearings, and that is the last thing to be touched on the truck. I don't really want to make the...

Nice! That's where I'm mounting mine.

Dropped the truck off at a friend's house (previous owner actually)(called him the truck's step dad tonight....seemed to fit) to get the snorkel welded up. We couldn't get our schedules to line up, and I had to work today. He said, "just drop the truck off." "Then what? Walk to work?" "you...

I got mine from Ken Spencer. Don't remember his screenname on here.

I know it's an old thread, but what I did today fits the conversation. I mounted my beacons a while ago, but didn't get the switch and plate until today. Removed the flame heater switch and mounted the beacon switch there. I haven't hooked them up yet (tomorrow), but plan to use what I can...

Removed the switch for my flame heater today. Replaced it with my new switch for my beacons. Hoping to use the same wires from the flame heater for the beacons. Replace a broken board today on my troop seats. For the seats themselves I'll be using the white oak. But I had some pine laying...

Cad models would be awesome! I haven't found anything like that either in my travels around SS. Some guys use the 5" boards. Some have used the manufactured boards (decking) in the hopes that it won't weather like real wood. I have 12 foot, 9 x 1 boards here but they are pine. Not strong...

That was the thought. I've got the boards and no other use for them, might as well use them up. This first time around replacing all the hardware is the hard part anyways. Having to grind or cut most of the old bolts off. New stainless hardware with locknuts is going back on her.

I had some 12' pine boards laying around, so I ripped them down to 3". I plan to use white oak on the troop seats themselves, but the other boards should be fine as pine, right? I never strap anything to the boards themselves, always around an upright. And I have the extra boards laying...

Changed my fuel filters this weekend. Easy Peasy. I've read the horror stories, but my truck must love me. Ordered the filter/belt kit from RealCustomTrucks and it had everything I needed. That was nice. The o-rings didn't fight with me. The truck fired right up when done. No complaints...

Our town houses a company called CHART. They build huge heat exchangers. This aircraft was here to ship one. If they put it on truck, then ship, it can take months to get to it's destination. Putting it on the Antanov (the only aircraft large enough to carry it), it can be there in only a...

Sorry, yes, it's an Antanov AN-124. only the 4 engine, not the 6 engine. Hence the 2nd largest in the world. 1st: Antanov AN-225 2nd: Antanov AN-124 3rd: C5 Galaxy

Last week a friend called up. Said he had a bunch of shingles he had to get rid of. All he has is a little ATV trailer with sides. Every trip across the scale at the dump is $25. Plus tonnage. With his trailer we both figured about 8 trips. It just wouldn't handle the weight. So I said...
