    Air Compressor Air Cleaner Element?

    simply run a 1" hose from the compressor inlet to the nipple on the side of the air filter can. It's done on the trucks with deep water kits but IMO they should all be done this way. I did mine and I have no regrets.

    6tl battery dead

    I've had many 6TL's die but for the cost of them new I don't mind putting them back in. You simply can't get the reserve capacity they have for the price. I get them for $155 at Orielly and the optima's are $189 and $199. I have learned though, if I'm not going to be running the truck every...

    Block Warmer Questions

    I put 2 freeze plug heaters in the hmmwv's 6.5L. The direction you face the element is not important what is important is that it does not touch the block once it is installed. it will short out. the inline hose type heater will not do anything for your application. they are way too small.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I first though of trying to time a difference in my truck when I did the mods. so what I did was take shifting out of it. I start in 4th gear at 1500rpms and time how long it takes to get to 2500rpms. always use the same piece of road and try to keep the temps the same. Thats how I did...

    lds wastegate turbo on an M35

    at 79 I too would buy it. but don't expect much from it. lugging these or any diesel motor is not a good idea. 10psi at 1000rpm is not a good thing. you need to keep the multi turning good rpm's to make power and keep it together.
