    M35A2 -Clear Dashboard Light Cover Lenses

    I cut 2 slots with diegrinder and burr. Two 1/2"-1/4" towers support the threaded section. Those towers can line up with steel part in gage so you can get 90% red light to 90% white with a 90* turn of cap. I'll update post w/pic.JimK

    LDS-465-1A Exhaust Gas Temp Concerns

    After upgrading the LD with a D turbo I found the high EGT at lowest rpm.

    LDS-465-1A Exhaust Gas Temp Concerns

    Air filter restriction can reduce airflow into the chamber/exhaust. Excess air is basically inert and can be thought of as a coolant. Some [diesel] engines may depend on it for safe EGT /chamber temp. Like those running max egt... Outboard motors are (or were?) designed to run a lifetime with...

    detroit locker in the rear axle(s)

    The downside is the locker is disabled. The downside when enabled is often not enough to offset the benefits. The slippery winter roads road AJMBLAZER points out above may be the exception. It may be interest some, the v-100 was designed with Detroit type lockers frt and rear. Probably for...

    Salvage Vehicles?

    Try placing a want ad in your local paper. Specify cheap or free. Someone may be glad to get rid of a non-runner. A local concern should keep your recovery cost low. JimK

    Welding for dummies

    A career welder, or proficient hobby welder, can teach stuff they can't/don't/won't in school. Unfortunately many won't have time to teach it. They may be able to offer a small bit of hands on (which is what you seem to be after). MIG can be very easy to master and you can get the hang of the...

    Bought a new turbo, but.....

    I'd recommend getting a pyrometer and/or boost gage even if its just temp, to check the fuel setting/EGT.It is nice to know all is well. I added a used 'D" to a non-turbo LD. With a stack muffler a light whistle can be heard as it spools up. It easily pegged the 15psi gage, and had high EGT so...
