    Length of Ring Mount Legs?

    I had the ring but no legs. So we simply made legs out of scaffold poles. and mounted the ring at what looked a nice hieght. Remember the legs extend way down the back of the cab, so leave at a length that you can adjust to your preferences at any time in the future..

    Missouri WMO proof?

    WMO is readily given away over here. But AQTF is best I find when Cut to a decent ratio. Keeps things clean and has more bang for the buck cc for cc of anything else. (There is a noticable increse in power and smoothness. (I filter down to 1 micron)).

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    Well it would be a one way valve, so no (exessive) pressure would be needed to prime up the system to full pressure. I was tinkering arround for a while with that idea, but then went the whole hog and fitted Hi pressure (fork truck) lift pumps to my trucks. With a one way valve in the line...

    Condensation and milkshake in my trucks valve cover

    Agree fully. Here is a very appropriate course of action. Your next step. Take it. If after the above some water mix with antfreeze comes out first before oil or just antfreeze water salution if you leave the oil out untill this check. there could be a problem with the liner sealing. or A...

    Deuce temp guage

    The wire where it goes to the sender (in the block) get someone to flash it ground it while you observe the guage, if it goes all the way accross, proves the sender is faulty.

    Deuce temp guage

    I use regular wire. But I would check that sender, as that was probably the cause of the low reading. (and check the grounding at the dash panel).

    CUCV won't turn off with key

Break the circuit no go Unless the feul shut off solonoid valve sticks open. (0 volts normally closed). just my 1/2...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Well I stared at my jeeps for a long time trying to figure out if I could take the overdrive off one of my original Willys, and fit it to the Willys with the V8 flathead engine. Then again could I fit the overdive to (and behind) my rear Winch fitted (off the P.T.O.) Ford Jeep 1942. My preffered...
