If you like blue, repaint it Battleship blue-grey. But if you don't sand it down and repaint, she will start to rust as soon as she hits moisture or salty beach water.
Sort of... That's max speed at max rated load.
Unless you bobbed a deuce down to a unicycle, those tires are WAY below the rated speed/load curve.
But I 100% agree, after my blowout, I'm paranoid about tire condition/cracking.
If my kid was lost in the woods, and a search needed to be coordinated, that looks like a darn good truck for the job.
Even better, that town used reasonably priced parts, assembled without a lot of fanfare, but from all appearances quite capable of doing the work.
I'm impressed. Thanks for...
Don't get me wrong, I love the sound on your vid. I caught it yesterday on my daily "M35A2/Deuce and a half" Youtube search.
There was some guy on here who was trying to sell a header and an intake that he said made something like 350hp on a stock LDT. I'll keep looking for it if nobody else...
I was trying to be nice!
If you feel frisky, after finding that thread, see if you can scare up that awesome M35A2 lightbar thread that somebody built a couple of months back.
My Google-fu is broken somethin' fierce.
:naner:
Didn't we have a thread here where some guy said he had a header/intake for the LDT that made insane power? I just searched and found nothing.

I have been considering the light adhesive backed foam as well.
It's marketed as "Duct insulation" at HDepot and the rest of the big box stores. It might handle heat a little better in certain areas if the seam seal gives you any trouble.
But if this stuff is holding up underhood for you, I...
That's what I was wondering. If the fuel you are running is waste oil with a slower burn rate, you might be seeing fuel burn in the exhaust manifold spiking the numbers.
Why 5th is so different than steady state in any other gear? Load.
Night vision isn't IR in most cases... it is near-IR. True IR runs just above microwave up to visible light and is what you call "Thermal imaging" in most cases.
Call me contrarian, but I would just get the mount welded. It is done all the time at salvage yards, and any competent welder should be able to do it for less than the cost of the gaskets and lube needed to crack that case.
I keep toying around with the idea of an M37 or M715 with axles out of the common M1008, smallblock gasoline engine and an overdrive tranny.
Not that I need another project I don't have time for, but it would seem to be the easiest solution to the shortcomings of the types.
