    20" Hutchinson Rims

    Exactly, These MRAP wheels are ideal for the deuce since you dont need to do any mods to the wheels, just bolt an adapter on and done! I believe Hemtt rims bolt right on to the 5 tons right? Its funny how this all works out.... Everyone wants the Hemmt rims to fit the deuce, then the...

    MRAP tires/wheels from Redstone AL to Minnesota

    I'll be making my own, I work with Solidworks Cadd and in a machine shop so it will end up just being the cost of whatever metal and hardware I need to purchase, hopefully I can get most of the stock out of some drop to keep costs down.

    What RPM do you guys Get the Best MPG's at?

    Just got back from a 100 mile round trip. This time I was running 2200 RPM and got 9 mpg. Since the other trips however that were giving me 8 mpg, I adjusted the valve lash per someones recommendation. So I cant be sure if the higher RPM, Valve adjustment or both were the reason for the...

    Painting outdoors

    I got my 109 primed and then found it was going to rain before I could paint it. I found a used giant tarp (40'x80')off craigslist for $20 to keep it dry & clean so once the weather cleared a few days later I could finish up. A local guy took interest in my project and loaned me a Wagner HVLP...

    What RPM do you guys Get the Best MPG's at?

    I wish I would have adjusted the valves when I had the radiator out valve covers off and did a flush and new hoses a few weeks back. Quick Question: is it pretty obvious knowing when the valve is fully open (by turning the motor) before starting the valve lash adjustment?

    What RPM do you guys Get the Best MPG's at?

    M35A2/M109A3 I've done some searching for the best speeds to get the best mileages but since so many folks are using different tire setups its a little tough to compare. I'm assuming that there might be a "Sweet Spot" in RPM's that would give the best miles per gallon so I wanted to see what...

    Still Slow Oil Pressure buildup with Spin on Kit & Wix 51458 Filters... Why?

    Gimp, what brand/number oil filter do you recommend for the smaller size? The ones I have use are the large cans about the same size as the stock housings.

    Still Slow Oil Pressure buildup with Spin on Kit & Wix 51458 Filters... Why?

    yes, this is more of what I was wondering about. I'm using the kit from Tie6044, which was nicely machined and came with all gaskets and filters for a great price. I havent looked at the other kits up close so i cant compare. Here is some other info: I bought the truck last year, and changed...

    Replacing HH o-rings

    Yeah, I replaced the 2 under the head last year.... then learned about the other one on the shaft after the fact. I need to replace that eventually now as well. Thats one of the common spots that can allow diesel into the oil right?
