Well, thinning out the oil because of one of the internal fuel leaks (well known....do a search....FDC, hydraulic head, flame heater are the most common culprits) would certainly make it get louder....less lubrication, less "cushioning", more blowby. If it is only that, it is a few O-rings and...

Oh, man....I hear you....just want to drive the thing, not do brain surgery on it. I sure got there two years ago when I got to do a surprise engine rebuild. On the plus side, you have the tranny out already and now is the time to rehab it. In a way, better than putting a new clutch...

As for the injector lines: They are all different lengths, so will vibrate differently. Are they all tied together in at least two places? I am with Frank...take a laser thermometer and check each cylinder (exhaust). Is there one cold one among all the hot ones? What does your blow by look...

For greater clarity, they have a 72 colour Valspar repaint system. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Really surprising how well she runs!

I am trying to get a shop with a Valspar Automotive paint mix system to produce some 383 green. They claim they cannot cross reference any of the colour codes I provided from the sticky in this thread. Does anybody happen to have Valspar specific info that I could share with...

What skinny said. Look up "FDC - fuel density compensator". Bypassing this item eliminates a common source for internal fuel leaks. If yours had it done, it is an improvement, especially for non-cold-war-battlefield daily use.

Thanks for providing the update! It is annoying later on to find problems without solutions.

Consider making it a dropside, at least on the left. All the bed itself needs is five hinges welded to it. Any fab shop can easily make those for you and weld them on, as well as a piece of angle iron in the front, with a slot for the dropside bed to lock to. Get a dropside bed side so they can...

Other than a spare of the same diameter I would not worry too much about an exact match. Many tire places have ok takeoffs that are still suitable as spares.

First coat of Raptor liner sprayed. That was the fun part. Aside from dodging the weather. The prep part...less fun. My wife took a pic... Tomorrow second coat and also bed sides. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I love the "resurrection" videos one can find on youtube and find it strangely touching when old iron comes back to life. Of course, from a preservation standpoint, you would not want to do that, really. You would want to drain the oil and fluids, at least open the bottom of the engine, make...

Did you have soldier B depress the brake pedal while you measured continuity? Because otherwise, there should be no continuity; switch is open. If you get continuity with the brake pedal depressed and the lights work when you jump the terminals then, good grief, the lights ought to work!

Oh, and because Murphy did not seem to have been around lately, but is always up for having a gay old time, I got to spot this as I was cleaning up from my ties down anchor job: Is this....?? Oh, it sure is! Inside of rim is all wet. Thanks, Murphy. Didn't have one leaking in two years.

My drop sides did not come with the cargo tie down pockets and anchors. Here is how to fix that: 1) get and read TB9-2300-280-30 cargo tie down install. http://imfmotorpool.com/010913.PDF A M35A2C needs eight on each long side, two in the tail gate and two in the front for a total of 20. 2)...

How did you LIVE without a pipeline truck??

I never thought of doing that. [thumbzup] I am 6ft3 and it is agonizing to work on the air pack or parking brake underneath the truck. D'oh...raise the truck, dummy! aua

I understand and I actually kept the piece I cut (the whole portion up to the curved outlet), although there is nothing special about it. I just added a piece of straight pipe on top of the muffler and put a flapper on top. That way I could return it to stock by welding the pipe back on. Knowing...

The pieces I did not mount are the oval rifle stock brackets that go on the floor; unless you are actually transporting rifles all the time, they simply are in the way. The rifle holds fine without them.

The only thing I would add is, orient yourself before you rip the old rubber out - which side is which. It is very frustrating when, after you got the new one in and perfectly seated, you discover that it is inside out and re-do the whole thing, only to discover that you had it right the first...
