    Which look do you prefer... Modern or Traditional

    Traditional. Once you dress it up in chrome, pleather, and LED lightbars it's no different than a jeep.

    Do they have the federal standard colors in their system? Cost per gallon? etc?

    Behr Paint Code - Home Depot Update 2019

    24087 Smi-Gloss Olive Drab may be what you're thinking of. No I don't have that on the list but if you can find it on here then have Home Depot make a scan and shake up a batch.

    Gov Planet Hawaii.

    I've had some very good and very bad trucks come from Hawaii. I get 2-3 people a month asking me about how to ship them to the mainland and it's a long messy ordeal even if you get lucky. The truck has to be worth it. Besides.. there's a buyer there shipping everything out of country so the $500...

    what is your dream M44 variant?

    I'm kind of stretching it here but I'd rather have the final vision of what the M35E3 would have been. The 5.9 was a fine engine and with the various models they made for testing I bet they could have put all that data to good use to make a fine reinvention of the deuce and a half.

    Tatra MTVR Prototype M923A1 - Tatra 815 Frankenstein

    I remember watching that green one sell on GL years ago. It sparked the threads about the "M939A3" program that was scratched to fund the MTVR and FMTV series. Do share more photos! What's on the data plates?

    Highway speed gear 3.07 vs 2.87

    The math I put in a calculator came out to be this: Gear Ratio (2:1) Tire Height (in.) Engine RPM Transmission Gear Ratio (7th gear) SPEED 2.87 46" 2600 .78...

    Highway speed gear 3.07 vs 2.87

    Having installed both gear sets on trucks (and the likely source of the 2.87's mentioned) I can provide some insight... you can't go wrong either way. The loss on the low end power isn't noticeable and provides many perks: better MPG, lower cruising engine RPM, less fan kicking in, and less wear...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    You'll do fine. I always have that feeling too when starting the brown and black. Just make sure to start with the brown and eye areas that it can be overlapped by the black in case of any over spray. Color theory and working smart at its best. You can always add but not take away... general...

    Dot 5 discoloring in open air

    The dye in DOT 5 breaks down with age from purple to golden yellow. This helps tell you the age of the fluid but not the condition. If the bottle has been stored in a cool dry place I'm sure it's fine. If it was sealed air tight then you're "golden" pun intended. It doesn't absorb water like DOT...

    M1078A1 - Crank no start

    Bump for those who've not read this thread. I came across a C7 truck that was giving a code for a dying ECM battery. The internal clock said it was 1/1/2037+ so it's dead on the board. Luckily the issue was solved on the later gen trucks (this was a 2005) so the file was hard flashed. With the...
