    I'll leave that for Jon. We talked about it and the things needed to make it what he wants, He needs to make a trip to Fontana to see what he can find. The prior owner cut rectangle holes in the frame in front of the radiator...where the winch extentions go, so he need to find a truck being...

    Engine problem

    There is a difference between blow-by and smoke out the breather. The only true way to tell is to use a manometer on the engine. Are you using a mixed fuel, like gas/diesel mix? If so, put a bit more diesel in the mix. Just FYI, when I drive mine at light throttle, cruising speed, it kind of...

    Deuce brake light problems

    2cents Don't poke thru the wire, unless you want corrosion issues. You live in Mi? Does it snow and do they salt the road? If you think you have an issue now wait till you poke and drive on salted roads a few times aua . Use a DVOM. If you jump across the brake switch, do the lights work?

    Fuel Prices

    Keep in mind, the refining process for diesel has changed. It is now much more refined than it was 15 - 20 years ago. It is almost like Jet fuel. Some of the fuel smells like gasoline. I have a hard time telling the difference.

    Fuel Prices

    The lowest here, $3.85, at a NEW Chevron station, the highest i've seen, still at the 76 in El Monte at $4.49. Good thing I still have about 250 gal. of FedEx gas for the deuce! It's killin' me to fill the trucks! Might have to turn the M35 into the daily driver, but what if fuel prices get...

    Leaking IP.. And More!

    White is unburned fuel, as in airiated, timing, low cyl pressures. Black indicates not enough air to complete the combustion process, like excessive fuel delivery, poor atomization, air starvation...no blades on the turbo, turbo not turning, a severely plugged filter. 2cents

    hard starting

    If I put too much gas in the mix I run, it gets hard to start and hunts at idle. Maybe try adding 5 or 10 gallons of diesel to the tank and see how that works.
