I have a straight pipe on the veggie Ranger.....no flack from the Man yet.
It couldn't be worse than the noise from the rolling ghetto blasters the knuckle draggers drive around in.
Why not try a set of Flowmasters?
The 8 bangers have power but:
They are heavy.
They suck fuel.
They are heavy.
They have a two stroke power band.
They are heavy.
They slobber when idling over a few minutes.
Oh yea.....they are heavy.
Give me a 60 series anytime over the "Yamahas".
Drove them all and prefer a 4 stroke engine in...
60 series Detroit....I had one in a 96 Freightliner......it was a Caterpiller painted green.
Low RPM, high torque, unless you had a real heavy load on or hit a bad hill you didn't do a lot of shifting.
This is the engine they should have put in the HEMMETs instead of that V-8, double-breasted...
Check with OFFROADFABWORKS.......I think he has expressed interest in doing "bobjobs"....he has a couple of my dueces that might be good candidates for a transmorgification.

You DO NOT want to get caught in a commercial rig without a CDL...especially pulling a piece of military equipment. You...
Keep an eye on Camp Blanding. FL, near Starke......they sell a lot of trucks out of the Nat. Guard base there.
My former unit had a battalion there and I spent a lot of time down there.
Also watch Jacksonville NAS......lots of good vehicles there too.
Welcome to the dark (green) side.....we...
I have the same type trailer that I pull with my M52.
The big issue will be the lights. The electrical "pigtail" that carrys the voltage to the turn signals, tail and brake lights will not plug into your trailer plug.....unless that truck has been used to haul military trailers and has a dual...
Kaiser,
I have two of the new diesel burners if you are interested in buying them.
Got them off GL and they look like they have only been lit off once or twice.
Since my MKT has no stoves in it I don't need them.
PM me if interested.
Anything in the motor pool that is running has the steering wheel locked and sometimes the batteries disconnected.
I live far out on the sticks and waiting on a 911 response is slow.
Since my neighbors live in fear of what I may do ( or haul in) next I find that any other security is redundant...
