DO NOT LIFT THE FRONT WITH LIFT BLOCKS. If you want you can do a search anywhere and see a list of reasons why.

How does the store purchased kit control the flow, and know how to adjust? Is this the popular $1000 kit or an off brand?

You can look up in the tm for which wire is the grounding wire or just trace them. The headlight grounds shouldn't be far it'll look like a wire that goes to a bolt. Some things like your turn signal switch use the contact to the body as thier ground, this can be replaced with a wire if needed...

Also your not getting that much temp affect from the water jacket on the intake manifold. Large coolant aftercoolers usually only take about 80* at 20psi boost out of the intake air temp when used in a shell fin design. I would be suprised if deuces water jacket design did 20* difference. Also...

I need to go through a system trace on these engine to see if you can just cap the coolant lines. Those might be necessary for coolant flow, also these engines don't have an aftercooler so the intake air might be cooled by the coolant flowing around it. As far as the FDC, it does not go off of...

Nice truck, I'm only an hour and half north of you.

I got 10mpg interstate. Bobbed truck, 14.00 tires, 13,400lb truck, lock-out on front axle 55mph from NC to MO.

Unless he is using 12v lights then putting them in series will alow him to use 12v lights on the 24v system.

I'd be interested in what you find. I know for my truck, granted it has an extended drive line, the angle was way out of alignment and still is to an extent. I have to modify the perch to get the angle back into the optimal 1-2*. I think I have 5* on the farthest back joint going into the axle.

Yes he is talking about Dean's place. I met him this weekend. I thought the place was abondoned but Dean is just really up in his years and you have to scream for him to hear you. I didn't get deep in prices but he has quit the collection of parts. Anyone know what the **** those huge alluminum...

I have them on both of my trucks and love them. I notice it more with the Crew cab and 1400s but still noticable on the M36a2. As far as mileage I have no idea, large tires fuel tank error factor of like 5gal and such its hard to tell. The closest I figured was 10mpg on a long road trip. I will...

Had the same thing happen to me. Side just blows out, two of them have done that to me. One at 65mph (I know, over speed) the other at 10mph, that is why I switched to goodyears. How fast were you running your tires?

I have one in my crew cab but the big issue was getting it to line up with the other seats and not block the transfercase lever. I did it by moving the seats back a few inches but I don't think you can get away with that in a regular cab. Then again I used seats from a Ford superduty so the...

The cheap mans way I use is unbolt the rims. Pry the one face off. I prefer oil along the rim edge over soapy water. Its 10,000x better just makes a mess. Then flip the tire over and have the tire just sitting on the rims inner face. I use two big rubber chock blocks. Place oil along the bead...

If you have even a little mechanical skill I would highly suggest Waterloo Specialties. I have one of their kits on my truck with 14.00s and absolutely love it. Tom is a great guy to work with and call if you have any issues. Granted the kit is expensive but its everything you need and it works...

Took the truck down to the river and used the winch to pull two trucks out. Had no issues on the winch and only sheared one pin. I'm cool with that cause these are slightly smaller and they take two seconds to swap instead of two mins. the correct size takes to pound out.

I have those mirrors on my truck and they have held up well so far. But I also stop and push them in if I see I'm going to hit a tree. For the most part though branches and bush haven't damaged them. I will say it is hard to find trails that will fit my big beast. Even on the trail I use to get...

My truck has yet to get stuck and I've gone through the roughest trails I can find. Here in the Midwest though mud holes don't get as big and usually you have to watch the tree branches more then the mud holes. Had to do a couple of 9 point turns on some tight trails. I have lockers front and...

I finally took the beast to the trails and had a great time. MO has a lot of small jeep trails and I tried to go around this really bad spot that people say is really bad but in the end she's just to big to squeeze through trees. So I dropped her in 2nd low and let her rip. You would have...
