Its about 10 gallons too small :)

First off on a dually, the front spacer is only there to enable using a matching dually rim with an incredible amount of offset. They kind of cancel themselves out and retain the designed scrub radius and kingpin inclination angle. I think most (can't say I know what the new Ford arrangement...

Excuse me for not knowing my correct Loctite numbers up front... I would think Red even though would keep them from coming loose at all would make servicing them near impossible and unable to retorque at all. Blue would probably hold well but would give you inaccurate readings during retorque...

Probably fine if you are not turning the GP's on but... Is it not starting with the correct amount of glow? You may have another issue with the fuel or failing GP's if its not starting with the correct systems in place. I think your method would be something to use in a pinch when stranded and...

Probably because it is one more point of letting the spacer work loose which in my opinion is the biggest problem with any spacer regardless of offset. I would vote on still being within the width tolerance not creating too many issues with scrub/offset issues. Is anyone using Loctite on the...

The kingpin D60 is a pretty stout axle. I would say as long as you do not get any bad steering issues like death wobble you are probably OK as long as everything is tight. Stock steering will definitely be pushed to the breaking point which is something safety wise would need to be worked on. I...

I think you could get away with the Centramatic in either position. You will have to look at the inside of the HMMWV and see what space you have to work with. I believe the Centramatics for the HMMWV are stepped out towards the end to accommodate the rim clearances. The ones I have are...

Congrats on the new purchase! Need pictures!!! Agreed, you have a LOT of reading to catch up on in order to make some informed decisions. I would highly suggest becoming familiar with the various systems and doing the much needed updates to them in order to avoid potential catastrophic failure...

Roger I think I am going to keep mine as I want to make them work. I just have to rearrange my wheel mounting situation. Keep in mind the clearance issues with them. I believe the ones for a HMMWV will fit the matching rim but they have a step to them which may interfere with your brakes. I...

Sorry for the hijack Sharecropper, I was curious to see what other sizes are successfully run. I too am kind of in the same boat. I currently run some really old Ford rims (probably from the late 70's) and now that my recently purchased Centramatics don't fit, I need to find a solution. It is...

That is a good price for a steel rim in that size. 16.5 rims are such a pain to deal with because it is such an uncommon size these days. Seems like even 15" rims/tires are going the same way. What width are you running? I know the HMMWV are over 9" wide and you can get the US Steel rim in...

I will tell you that the ProComp 16.5" wheels are on a 4-8 week back order if you are wanting to go the plain jane steelie route. Ask me how I know :)

I would almost install a ball valve on the additional outlet port to purge air since it doesn't look like it has a bleed port. While bleeding, open the valve and pinch the fuel outlet hose to purge the air out I guess. The MOST important part is to not crank the engine over with the pink wire...

You should be looking at specs for what is a rebuild. Some of the cheap ones are just pulled apart in re-sealed for the most part. You may actually get one that has replaced parts if they don't meet spec. I would think that a decent rebuild should come with a new rotor assembly. I think I paid...

Also, spacers may not be legal or frowned upon during state inspection...just FYI

I had aluminum spacers on my old Toyota with some pretty heavy offset wheels, never had a failure but I also established a 1,000 mile torque interval. Not a problem on a purpose built truck that rarely sees street time since I was already running through the suspension and steering bolts every...

Congrats on the new purchase! I would recommend not only charging your batteries but reading through all the stickies here to avoid any catastrophic failures like melted wires, run away starters (they don't run away from you physically, they run on like a naggy mate...chip chip), and exploding...

A truck parked on a hill may have issues with the IP, I would search for that as I remember it being a common issue with a failing fuel system. To the OP, I agree with what everyone has suggested. You need to get the system bled again. Changing the filter would also be beneficial. Never trust...

I don't know about anyone else but I will give you a free pass with the weather. Soon as it gets above freezing...pics or this never happened :)

Awesome! Good karma to save a Cuck from the scrapper. We don't need anymore antique rigs going to the big rust heaven in the sky :) Even if you don't rebuild it, I'm sure you can salvage lots of parts off it for another build or parting out.
