I installed some shackle mounts off a 5-ton on my CJ5. I figure if they are good enough to tow a 5-ton, I'll never have to worry about the CJ.

For the boost gauge, there's a plug in the intake manifold you can tap into. For the pyro, you need to drill the exhaust manifold right where it goes into the turbo. Most people say drill it in the back half but I honestly don't think it makes a difference. Drill the manifold with the truck...

Actually, the hot patch process is where you buy these special patches with some kind of flammable stuff on one side of it and you use a specially made press that will fit the patch (all patches I've ever seen were diamond shaped). You put the patch on the tube, clamp it in the press, and set it...

We also ask our members not to use texting abbreviations on the forums. I have no idea what AFAIK means.

In my opinion, other than the weight, a hardtop is much easier to remove and install.

That's only required over a certain amount. I know our 250 gal farm tanks are exempt. The blue plastic barrels will hold up better than the white ones. If I were to have bulk storage I would use out of it and just keep it topped off. That way it always stays fresh.

The contacts on the solenoid stuck. Sometimes you can free it up by tapping the solenoid with a hammer but it's probably time for a new one. This happens when the contacts get too hot and they weld together.

There's probably not telling how old the diesel is in some of the GL trucks we buy. I bet it's pretty safe to say most of them have at least year old diesel in them.

I've also ran some very old diesel before. I bought a old White road tractor from a neighbor that had been sitting for I know 20 years. I put some fresh batteries on it and it fired right up on the diesel that was still in the tank from when it was parked. I ran that tank out (it was almost...

They are just standard military trucks that Memphis Equipment rebuilds and customizes.

I may be wrong on this as it's been awhile since I've researched it but I don't think Diamond REO was around in '45. They didn't go to Diamond REO until White Motor Company bought both brands and combined them. As A side note, White bought a whole bunch of brands over the years before finally...

This really has nothing to do with the hold on military vehicles. These are imported vehicles that seem to have been imported illegally. Now one could argue that the owners of these Land Rovers are getting a raw deal but these aren't military vehicles and this subject is better discussed...

My uncle was in Vietnam and was there when we pulled out. He personally witnessed them dumping all kinds of vehicles and helicopters off the side of the ships coming home. What he didn't understand is why they went through the trouble to load all that stuff if they were just going to dump it...

Somehow, I can't help but think of Buck Owens anytime somebody mentions Bakersfield. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5P6zdlPJ34 Welcome aboard.

I think they should hold up fine. Mine are wood but I've had firewood rounded up to the top of the sides without a problem. I tend to think the fiber sides are stronger than wood.

My brother is in the logging business and uses his M1008 every day. I think when he bought it, it had around 20K miles and now he has over 100K. The truck has been almost trouble free until about a month ago. He was just driving down the road and the crank broke. He found a guy parting out a...

There's no way I would let a movie company rent my personal trucks without me being the driver and present at all times. I've just heard too many horror stories of what they do with the trucks (like ramming a school bus at 30 mph). Sounds like NDT came out pretty well and made enough money to...

That's what I was thinking when I read his post. :)

We need to lay off all this complaining about the closed threads or we will start issuing infractions. Coffey1, Your displeasure of the closed threads has been well documented every time the subject is brought up, we get it. Now drop it.
