You better keep an extra pair for any chicks that want a ride too! Don't want them to get a headache. Lol.

I feel the same way about my truck. You can do anything you can imagine to them. If you have the money, then do it. You want to put a larger motor in it and one that has a reliable track record, then do it. I have driven mine in bumper to bumper traffic. I drove mine for nineteen hours and I...

The Ndt tires seems to drive pretty good on my truck. I had no wobbles or strong vibrations driving on the highway. I don't recommend them in the snow, just touching the brakes you go sliding in any direction. I also noticed the front tires wore down quickly, though I did drive on pavement...

Well I'm goin to go clean my parts tomorrow so I will inspect the valves and such. I will remove that injector as well so I can see if it needs replaced. I'm not worried about the exhaust manifold to much but I plan on cleaning it out, at least the turbo seems fine, no metal got that far when I...

I had that problem. After talking to a retired army vet who worked in the motor pool, he told me those alts are junk. Mine sqealed then the brushes were gone and the volt reg went out. I had it fixed. Six months later, same thing happend again. I removed alt and the alts pulley. Baught an Ac...

I have pics where you can see the valves under the head, exhaust manifold, and top view withthe piston still in the engine.

What?! Thats it for new push rods?! I would definetly take a set of 12. Let me know where to send the money. 68801 is Grand Island, Nebraska. Not sure what shipping is but let me know. Sounds like a great deal. I can tell you the two times I bent my rods is when the truck overheated. When I...

I plan on making my own snorkel. I have seen other threads using pvc. When I get to that point, I will search the vent aisle at Menards and make something work. I like the kits but I wouldn't mind custom making my own. Nice trucks to those that posted pics!!

I think if I buy a generator for the truck, I think I would get one that canprovide 3000 watts or more for most uses. These trucks are your average handy mans best friend! I knew a general contractor who shopped at Menards and he hauled more on that thinv than most guys with their diesel trucks...

I never thought of a generator mounted on the truck. . . . hmmm interesting. . . . I suppose my woman would like to know why I didn't put new tires on the car lol. That is a great idea, especially for camping and hunting with the family or the buddies!

Just a question, but wouldn't it be easier, cheaper, and safer to have a tank or drum secured in the back for extra fuel? I think the jerry cans look cool in the back and what not, but the extra work for mounting and tje costs of the jerry cans compared to an extra tank or drum in the back seems...

Do these trucks not have the 6x6 engage/disengage switch? I thought low means lowered gears in the transfercase. I guess I never heard low gear engages the front axle instead of a 6x6 engaging switch or lever.

Are there going to be videos posted? We need more videos with these awesome trucks and trail drivin. I wish I can go, but I'm still worken on my truck.

Yes I have thought about that. My engine got so hot it stalled itself and locked up. I thought she was done for but a couple of days later, it turned over just fine. After I got the heads off I found the melted piston, hunks of metal melted to the head which I was able to scrape off. I was...

True, I can only imagine checking your inbox and you have fifty videos uploaded awaiting approval.

Ok that makes sense. I know some about motors but I'm still learning. Thanks I appreciate the tip. Thats probably why the same rod bent again cause I didn't have it set right. It probably didn't help when the piston melted, I'm sure with the adjustment being off, the valve met some resistance...

I know this thread is a little old, buf if you decide to go in the river again, let me know. I should have my duece up and going again in a few weeks if not sooner, cause I would go with ya. I a few min maintance roads but they're only a challenge for little toys. My woman told me we need to go...

I've seen many posts about paints and colors, but my question is, "isn't CARC paint suppose to block the steel its on from radar detection?" I heard this from a guy who worked at the surplus store where I baught my truck. I don't know so I figure I would ask.

Also, couldn't there be a program to play video thats a part of this website and not youtube? I don't even read the comments on there, half the time it's people arguing over nothing. From the responses I seen on this site, I don't think it would ever go that far. SS members seem to be very...

I apologize to the mods if this causes an overload of work, but I think if a video forum was to be created, instead of uploading the video and after its been viewed by other members, could they submit the video and only the mods would see it, to approve it, then post it in the forum? I know...
