Well, a member here had an LDS427 for sale. The price was right for parts so I grabbed it. It is siezed and missing parts, but there is still good stuff to be had. One of the best things is the manual starter! I hate arcing a screw driver across the solenoid terminals to turn a motor over, now I...
Looks like I will be headed down to Taylor trading to get a towbar for a friend. I might meet up with a member from Louisiana too. Anyone need anything transported? As it stands, I'm driving a car, but if enough people want stuff, I can drive my pickup.
I still have a ton of fiberglass racks...
If you have changed your head gaskets and they were the old "tab style" gaskets, what was the failure?
Also, I have heard there were 3 generations of the tab style, how do you tell which is which?
I have worked on a couple deuces in my time in the MV hobby. I have heard that some multifuels oil filter cans don't bleed out. When Westy and I did the "dual deuce recovery" from Texas, I encountered my first one. We parked the trucks one day, and the next day I went to change the oil filters...
I did some searching and didn't see anything that fits. I'm working on a deuce that the #1 injector line will NOT come out of the injector. I managed to remove it from the head so I could accomplish what I need to do and I can probably get it back in, but I would like to replace some of the...
Over the last 3 or so weeks, I have been working on my motor(LDS). I took the heads off to install new head gaskets. I have been slowly putting it back together cleaning and installing new parts(IP, injectors, steering column, etc). Today I replaced a copper air line and was adjusting valves. I...
I have been replacing the head gaskets on my truck and have decided that I don't want the intake manifold flame heater anymore. I have searched and searched, but can't find what size plugs I need for the spark plug hole and fuel nozzle hole. Anyone able to help a brother out?
It is aluminum, so...
This show is coming back this year!
Here is the verbage sent with the email:
Hi Chris,
I'd like to send this to you with the hope that you can bring your vehicles and your frinds to the Show on September 7th in Reading.
Remember, if you and your friends PRE-REGISTER, entry is FREE...
I left Friday to visit Westy and go to the Iola show. Then we headed back to cincinnati and tues3 I left for Mechanicsburg to help cut parachutes. Now I'm headed back home and get to do a load out for a mod tomorrow. Friday I might do an inspection at WPAFB. Wow lots of driving and seeing the...
Holy crap, I was just informed that it is next weekend, the 26th!!!!
Anyone going? It looks like I am not able to make it, but I will see what I can accomplish.
I have been informed I will be helping a buddy figure out why his ABS system isn't working. Is there any "trouble items" to look at first, or is this strictly a "follow the TM" type of thing. Thanks for any tips in advance.
A long long time ago, I bought a multifuel motor from a bud. Since I have owned it, I sold the IP off it along with other parts. Now another bud has a deadlined truck. A couple years ago I installed an LDT IP on this motor to see if it would run - just out of curiosity. Today I put that motor...
I have a multifuel motor and the bottom of the can that I need some help with. Pickup and storage would help, if anyone is in the area and headed toward Cincinnati, even better. Its in the murphreesboro tn 37129 area. Post up here or PM please.
I have a buddy looking into seeing if he can help, but I figured I'd ask if anyone was close. I have a small box, about the size of a "carry on suitcase" I could use some help with.
I am not far from Louisville, and I know a lot of others are close too. I have yet to see a thread about the event so I decided to post up. Who all is planning on attending. It looks like this year the powers that be have decided to have the whole event indoors. I am not sure how well that is...
I have a buddy that just picked up one of these. A search didn't pull up any info. Do we have any members with one? Is there a TM for them here? Thanks in advance.
I think I posted pics of adding E-track to my one trailer in another thread, but I will post the pics here too. One of the biggest improvements I've done is adding the E-track. I now have infinite strapping points for any cargo I might load. When mounting the track, I also put boxed aluminum...
