More pics The first pic shows my truck with Red's M105 with Red's Deuce behind. The second is where we said our goodbyes and parted ways.

AAR pics Here are some of the pictures from the trip: First is the drive to, kinda cold and frosty. Second is Red's deuce following. Third is a pic of Red ferrying some hikers back to their vehicle. Fourth is unloading the hikers.

Welcome, and Semper Fi back at ya, from far west Texas.

What about oak (nature's iron)? My Grandad's farm truck had oak stake-sides that he made, on it. He would pass 2x12s from side to side to serve as shelves and stack the truck to the hilt with produce. worked great for many years.

Yeah it will be cold.

Haldex Manual Here is a copy of the Haldex manual for those dryers:

Another simple thing to check is the base gasket where the turbo sits on the exhaust manifold. The two inboard nuts were loose on my truck (probably because they are a bit of a bear to get at). My gasket was in good shape so I tightened it back up and found it made quite a difference. A new...

I would not fear affecting off-road capability much with a re-gear. My truck with the 6.5 TD has 3:73s and I rarely use low range. I wouldn't try to get to 2100 @ 75 though. Be aware that there are breakpoints when changing gearing that causes a need for a different carrier though.

I have a ¾ ton, single cab, long bed, diesel pickup truck that I bought used many years ago with 50.000 miles on it. It came with a locking rear differential from the factory. I replaced the stock tires with slightly taller and wider tires, on the stock wheels. I then purchased a used...

I have two trucks with the 14 bolt Gov-locs. If money and time were no object, I would prefer any of the selectable lockers (ARB, Ox, etc.) as first choice because they are locked when needed and open when not. Second would be the Detroit type. These are second because they are always in some...

I have an M936A2 that reads about 25% up on the filter minder (after driving) just due to the restriction of the mushroom cap on top of the intake stack. The air filter is new and clean.

I hope you don't mean this Friday the 13th, do you?

Hey Red, what days are you thinking of being there?

I would probably not take any of my MVs. Pickup with camper I am thinking.

Monument valley, Moab, and the Arches national park area are awesome for some slow cruising.

Did you think to count burn spots indicating where similar incidents have happened? It is a common occurrence these days.

The pegging every so often is probably a bad connection between the sender and the gauge. Check the Packard connectors. You can squeeze them slightly with pliers to make them tighter connections. I had the same thing on oil pressure gauge on one of my trucks.

Might be able to make.

Man Dude, that is rough. It is Superbowl weekend!!! I won't be able to make it.

It will be pretty high amperage and yeah, extended cranking will build heat. The most likely cause is less than optimum connection at the quick disconnects. Extended cranking is also quite bad for the starter. The cables will cool down much faster that the starter windings so do not just allow...
