Installed a cab light yesterday & found a cool old Magazine Article on " New Army Truck Runs Under Water" and was think of making it in to a post to hand in my shop.
Was Able To Look At (4) More Intake Manifold This Weekend and I Have Came To The Conclusion That the Sand Molds They Use For Casting Where Not That Good Back In The Day And That Mine Way OK. I Also Finally Found A New Radiator For Sale And Got It Installed This weekend.
Hey Guys,
Was removing the radiator and thermostat today and notice that my intake manifold is a little mess up inside. Was this a bad casting from the factory or is this rusted out. Should I be worried about this??? Attached are some picture.
Hey Guys,
Final figure out where most of my smoke was coming from when idling. Since march I have been running a 75% used oil to 25% diesel which lower the rpms at top speed and the truck runs a lot better over all. But the smoke was still there till last week I was under the truck and...
I Did all 3 axles (ARB Locker) about 2years ago and it was the best thing I have ever done to the truck. The Job was not hard at all, the only thing I wish I know before hand was you have to grind the top of the diff housing for the new air diff.
Got some paint on the troop seats today & finished wiring the wipes.Best move ever to upgrade to this type of wipe, plenty of power and no noise like the air ones.
I did all 3 axles. This project all started when I got suck in a large mud hole in the Pine Barrens 2 years ago and had to be pulled out by a 5 Ton. The tuck went on a angle in the mud hole and all 3 tires came of the ground and I could not move. That day I decided to tackle the project. But I...
Final got a lot checked off the list of thing to do in the last two days. Got the air lockers all done, the right way. Replace all the door seals and window seals and Raptor Bed Liner Inside The Doors while I was in there. I got the New Fuel Pressure Gauge installed and installed new shifter...
It's a custom clean diesel fuel tank I made for my arctic heater. I don't use the main fuel tank to feed the heater because at the beginning of this summer I started to run 90% used motor oil and the truck love it. The rpm went don't and just over all it running better. The only problem I have...
Hey guys,

Center to center lengths will work. I do have a mill but it looks like a lot of work to make that dog bone shape. I am thinking I was going to make it something like this. I would rather TIG weld, then mill that dog bone. It would also give me a chance to use my new tubing notcher I got back in...
I have some M249 SAW airsoft gun in the mail that I order from a friend for $100.00 including shipping.I was going to mount them on the side of my m998. When I get back from vacation I was going to fabricate the mounts. I have a small metal fab shop so the mount will cost me nothing but time. So...
