    Dukw from NY to ND

    You could try Gypsum Express. They did a similar move for me Fla to NY, 6-7y ago for $1600 (when fuel was lower) . That was less than I could have done it myself after taking time off work. They have terminals in Syracuse (Baldwinsville) and Jacksonville, Fla.( each end of my move) and had the...

    M37 rusty water jacket- Advice?

    I had a similar problem on vehicle to left. I did what Bill just said (flush with garden hose) using the strong Prestone suff from the auto store. Repeated it maybe 2 or 3 times till it water ran clear. I let it run with the hoses off and garden hose in block. Gave CLR some thought but...

    Elec Brakes

    Depends on what you are pulling it with. If it as a large army vehicle you should be good to go just hooking up the air lines. If you are using a small truck/civy power unit then a surge brakes conversion would be easy. Big old army trucks do not slow down like a car and the electric brake...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Interesting. (conjecture) I'd guess they made the timing change because a LDS w/wategate can be designed to make boost sooner while not getting to high later. It may have a wider power band but this would seem to have little effect on the peak power output.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I agree with m16ty on the fuel and EGT. My LD had lots of fuel but was a stone. The turbo made for some huge increase in power and egt, so much so I had to turn the fueld down 2-1/2 turns and it still ran much stronger. Power is all about volumetric efficiency(air) and fuel. I don't know if...

    LAV150 project, looking for some info

    The serial # (VIN) is located on the left front lifting ring, and the data plate. The V-100 data plate is by the shifter. Someone here was just asking where to find the V-150 manual. Apparently they are hard to find. The V-100 manuals are easy. One just went on e-bay for 10 or 20$. A few...
