just plumb the turbo exhaust to the existing side pipe and keep a eye on your exhaust temp (pyrometer). Often people add a muffler to their M35a2 exhaust stack with no undesirable effect, and it definitely adds back pressure.
I use my Sherpa to drag logs onto the logger road for firewood. I work alone, so it works great. I haven't had any heat issues because the trees I drag out are fairly light at around 4000-8000lbs. then I cut them and roll them into the back.
Put the front end on jack stands with the wheels off the ground and have someone move the steering wheel back and forth about a 1/2 to half turn, constantly while you inspect the play in the ball joints. Then bar the wheels with a large pipe to check the pins for slop.
looks like a crank shaft seal. I'd spray brake cleaner on it and watch it develop. It may clean itself up, or if its not bad, its a good rust preventative.
thats why I posted that I am looking for someone who has only one locker in the rear. None in the front or middle axle. I dont really want it for extra traction on snow or ice, but really for the 3 wheels in the ditch scenario, which is a high probability up here. This truck spends most of its...
Do you wear out your tires quickly, or notice the rear wants to steer to the low side of the road camber? that would be bad for me, as often the low side gets pretty far down, as in hundreds of feet.
I learned a long time ago 4 wheelin...... Often when you have tons of traction.....you can go "down" as to the axles. Im just getting it set up for going deeper in the woods up here. Often Ive gone 3-5 days without seeing anyone at all. So I bring extra stuff and more ammo now.
There should be some info on adding a hydrovac booster and master cylinder, which would split the rear and front brakes hydraulically, making it like a regular truck. No need to convert to disc unless you want to. Since you have a power steering pump, this should be a easier job. You also have...
It sounded like a master cylinder problem to me also, but I don't know enough about the air assist to determine if they can hold pressure on the master cylinder instead of assisting it.
Using the Ouverson axles would allow me to add a hub and unlock one axle if I had to drive on a icy highway. ( I think it would work, I'll call them up) Good thing is there are only two highways in 1200 square miles here, and 10K living/driving people to avoid running into.
Im probably going to install one Detroit ( Ouverson ) locker in the rear axle only on my deuce this summer for the winter driving/plowing. Has anyone experienced driving a deuce with one in the rear axle only? Ive gone through many threads here about them and I tried to absorb as much...
Ive read a lot of your posts in my short time (1 year) here on SS....You are a walking MV encyclopedia. Rarely is someone irreplaceably for their knowledge. You have definitely reached that honor.
