While increasing your unsprung weight is not-so-good, you got a lot of the good stuff working for you. The high sprung weight . Say the vehicle weighs 22K unloaded, 20K of that sprung, you are adding 400lbs unsprung (50lbs x 8 wheels) to 1600lbs(200lb x 8 ) that exists (not including the...

If anyone is now unsure about owning a deuce and half I'll let them drive the stolly

I like your simulated land mine strike. However I don't think the crew would have shut the door(s) when they got out and you need a big oil stain on the carpet.

Hmmm, I'd have to say the Junker Jumo 004 turbo jet screams "outstanding' in the WWII context. Even jet's most primitive form had any piston engine beat. The RR Merlin 61 could be a candidate. It's two stage/two speed supercharger, 4 valve per cyl, overhead cam(s) sure was slick. I don't...

seems like every lot has a camera running these days.

Most big rigs don't use super wide steering tires because it will increase the turning circle. There are exceptions. Construction trucks, like dumpers, may use a floatation tire because they get off road.

G-Force/everyone, Thanks for suggestions. I have a lot to learn, which I guess is the goal. The NAPA catalog showed aver 40 different models using the same rocker box gasket. Westech wrote, "Please for the love of God take that muffler off." Funny, that's what I said to myself when I was...

TM 9-2320-245-24, section 4-11 (page 42), dated Jan 1972, says sea foam green (24533) is appropriate. Maybe the white you are referring were the exception(s). I think a few runs, overspray and lots of grubby fingerprints were appropriate too, irregardless of what was written. Comments wecomed.

You should be ok if it dry. It takes a while to dry. A few days if it is hot, maybe a week if not. Try a test area if not sure. Let us know how it worked. Rivired wrote- "using any epoxy poly urethane acrylic ect ect fancy paints like pretty much all sherwin williams chemical coatings and what...

Hercules Engines, Inc. LD-465-1, LD-465-1C, LDT-465-1C, LDT-465-1D full load - 2650rpm no load - 2900rpm (From TM 9-2320-361-20, chapter 1, page 32) or LDS-465-1 no load - 2850-2900rpm (From the LDS Troobleshooting Manual, page 11) Both manuals are in resources section. The diff from 2900...

I agree. Also, thanks jwaller for thread and pioneering work. Here is some stuff I got from a truck repair shop across street from where I work. Manifold looks different than yours. Came out of a N14 powered twin screw commercial tractor. Donor engine's data plate was gone. Mechanic said rig ran...

The LDS-465-1 w/2 hole nozzles(fuel) spec. is 9-10psi at 2400rpm and 4-5psi at 1600rpm(page 34 LDS troubleshooting manual in resources). An engine can be off spec. Put a boost gauge on yours to see how it compares. Can anyone provide the psi specs for the LDT's at 134hp??. My LD-465 got the D...

If cost is taken out of the equation Super single w/CIS would seem to be hard to beat. If something could maybe a flotation tire(s) in front with a larger matching dia modern radial duals in back. (Or, while not to handsome, maybe dual up the frt?) I like duals. They can offer more. They can...

That would be 18" to 20" Hg, the height of mercury in a column. 1" Hg = .4910 psi, or 2.0362" Hg = 1 psi.

The issue here is quality control. It varies, but it is harder to control when you are trying to cut costs. Mfg. cut costs to survive. Many find they have no choice but to use foreign cheap labor (Bimken brand made in China) . Some save more by offering a replacement part (Chow brand made in...

I got a (NOS in crate) dump gate for pal D8Dave a year ago from Memphis Supply in Mechanicsburg Pa. I'm looking for some frt fenders and winch kit for the 813. Will be at Aberdeen 09...

M813A1 and FV624 (the latter is rated 5 metric tons land, 4 marine)

The NAPA 25-7360 was near the end of my alternator adj slot. I returned them and got 7340's. Update; The 7340's worked but were a challenge to get over the fan blades. If they were 1/2"shorter it would be a no-go and the fan would have to come off.... I'd say if there is a 7350 they would be...
