Now I have the specs to calculate the final drive ratio - Its the equivalent of having 5.25 rear end gearing on a "normal" car or truck.

To "hot rod" the pump - They usually have a spring putting pressure on a steel ball that acts as a internal pressure relief valve. Usually to increase the pressure all you need to do is to replace the spring with a new one with the proper tension to add 200 or so psi to the pump. You can either...

The belt on the drive pulley is on the inside groove (just like on the gen) It looks like you could just add a second belt? You would need to replace both at the same time so they are the same length as belts stretch over time. Be sure to check the voltage with a different meter. If you over...

If you disconnect the ground wire it will help keep the magic smoke in the wires - Once you let that smoke out of the wires nothing ever seems to work the same...

He is not looking for a 4 speed as much as a overdrive. An old muncie with granny gear would work great off road.

Dumb question??? Why not start with a set of canvas doors soak them in epoxy then apply a layer or 2 of mat on the inside? Seems like it would make a good start.

In the video he says he replaced all the gauges that weren't working properly. He also states a grounding kit was installed. When he goes to start it you can see the volt meter in the yellow which is normal when the engine is off. When the engine starts the voltmeter is still in the yellow and...

The first thing I noticed on the video was that the alternator is not working. Other than that it seems like a nice truck. The engine was revving at 50 mph - I would not plan on driving it home on the freeway. I like the fact that it was updated for the street by a dealer. I would get thorough...

I bought a M998 and sent the EUC on feb 7 they sent it on feb 14. I am still waiting but getting excited reading this post. I have straps and a chain ready to head to KY. I am planning on renting a Uhaul trailer.

When entering water the engine temp drops fast and the fan should turn off due to cooler engine temp regardless of the type of clutch.

Try "Fleet Pride". They can get most filters and have very good prices. They are a commercial truck chain store and are in most large cities.

If your glow plugs were working you would have blown your engine with the starting fluid.

The thermostat comes from the factory setup for "normal" driving conditions. 95 is considered "extreme heat". The rating on a thermostat is the temp when it is fully open. It starts to open about 10 deg before it reaches its rated temp. This causes the engine to run at or just under the rated...

Lots of heat - until they are ready to start to glow at night in a dark room - but not glowing red where you can see them glow in daylight. Then put them under pressure while hammering and keeping them hot enough to just start to glow. It will be the consistent pressure and not extreme pressure...

If you wanted to get carried away and didn't want a key switch with extra positions you could get one of these for about 12.00 + free shipping. You would wire it with one wire of the push button through the relay. Then the start button will only work when the RFID key fob is near the RFID...

Here are some pics of one for about $6.00 with free shipping on EBay. On this one the center terminal labeled "ST" goes to the wire that does not have power when you turn the main power switch on. The wire that has power when you turn the main power switch on goes to the terminal labeled "BAT"...

I just got a key switch from e-bay it was 6.00. In the past I was able to find a cheep 12v RFID setup that when wired would not let it start without the proper chip. Wiring the horn across the RFID relay made it so when someone tries to start it without the RFID chip it honks the horn (when...

Do you have oil or transmission fluid for the power steering fluid? I might try draining about 1 quart and adding Lucas - auto trans fluid additive or synthetic oil additive depending on what you are already using in the system.

What about dual 6" out the fenders?

I have rebuilt a gas engine and forgot to hook up the modulator valve. It had a vacuum modulator. It would start out in 1st then would not shift. When you let up on the accelerator the trans would just kind of let go.
