    Met maddog308 at TNJ Murray's

    RE: Met maddog308 at TNJ Murray Why must everyone have some wonderful MV boneyard close by and the closest one to me is at least 4 hours away!?

    Bees - Ouch....

    Sevin Dust. Works wonders on anything with more than 4 limbs. Get the dust and sprinkle some in the cab and around the truck and it should do well to keep all kinds of critters away.

    Looks good. Was it an adhesive strip? Does it stick pretty well?

    Power washing

    FWIW, I've had good success with a combination of regular and foaming degreaser and a garden hose in getting really nasty parts of the truck clean. Believe it or not, but I can actually climb under the truck and touch just about anything without getting black fingers!

    A couple of questions

    As has been said, It's probably due to mirrors or the like. I'd imagine someone will figure it out for sure via the TM or something. I've been wondering myself what they are for. Best I could come up with is perhaps they were used during manufacturing to center/mount the bumper? I think...

    towing

    RE: Re: towing overwieght Check the GAWR on your van's rear axles. Look for the max tire weight and make sure that it matches up with your axle's capacity. Ford's 10.5 Sterling axle under your van is rated at 18K GCWR and 6,250 GAWR. But that's provided it has the standard axle and not...

    updated pics of my hemtt restoration

    Jeeze! Glad you're ok. Yeah, I'd say those windows are pushing a lot of air out of the way at 60. Truck's looking awesome! Hurry up and get that white front painted! :)

    1100x20

    Berg has some good Michelins now, but I think I like the look of the NDT's better.

    Where are you guys planning on getting 11.00's from? Berg tire?

    Batteries

    Two "Never-Starts" from Wal-Mart. I say that kind of tongue-in-cheek because they have always cranked the truck over, even when one was leaking acid. 625 CCA for $35.00 each with 3 year replacement.

    Twin Turbo Deuce

    I remember that, but at peak operating temperature, you're only cooling the air charge to about 180-200*. I decent intercooler could get those charges much lower than that.

    Yet another receiver hitch thread...

    Looking at this: http://www.etrailer.com/pc-weld-on-hitch~41990-07.htm Has anyone used a hitch like this? After pricing several hitches for a "80's Chevy C30," I was always unsatisfied with the results. Either it was 5K/8K weight or over $200. I thought this would be a better deal (I'd cut...

    Twin Turbo Deuce

    I think one thing to consider is "power under the curve." That is, power available at ALL rpms and not just peak HP and torque numbers. While you can certainly blow the motor with the stock turbo, what power level, turbine RPM and CFM level is this occurring at? Shifting to two smaller...

    Lube in trailer plug?

    Di-electric grease is what you want. It will seal out some of the moisture that corrodes terminals, while promoting conductivity at the same time.

    So what is the true HP out of the LDT-465-1C?

    I think you'd be surprised at how the motor will pull once turned up. Mine is still at stock levels, FDC is still connected, and I've never had to downshift going 55 up hills in East TN. 800 torque with the axles geared as low as they are would just about be overkill. I think you would be...

    Mutt wheels

    What is the overall diameter of a Mutt wheel/tire combo? Would it be feasible to use them in a civvy trailer application? I have a mil-themed idea, but don't want to give away the plan just yet... 8) I know the wheel bolt is a 5 x 5.5" pattern; what's the offset? Finally, does anyone have 5...
