At the front, end of the frame the bumper is supporting the frame well. I am supporting the frame farther back where in my experience frame needs support.

Very nice seeing the M1000 out Flexing its BackBone! The Pride you must Feel after the Job is completed. That is only the First transformer shipped. Now that they see the operation and capability more Heavy Hauling to come. Congrats m16ty!

Looks Great, a lot to work with. If you stay with the manual trans go with hydraulic clutch. I would start engine before I got to far, only to find out it is sour. Recovery points, look at bumper bolts, tight and original hardware or better. Frame at steering box, check for cracks, being...

The radiators are big to start with. As long as they are Clean and the coolant changed on maintenance schedule as for usage, then radiator will last a very long time, unless overheating happens, then stress issues may happen. Cylinder heads, at least on civi trucks that I have seen after...

Military Vehicles in civilian possession have been around as long as I can remember. Living near an Army Base, Jefferson Barracks, and a National Cemetery, the Military consciousness is very apparent in the community. Parades and Military reenactments are done every year with great...

TGP I was in thread and had to ask if you still have the 77 K30? Old thread I know but answers some question I had. :driver:

I just looked at my truck, 4 in the morning and the dog treed a possum. Well I had to look what I did behind on frame and put 2x2 square tube behind the spring perch mount hot rivits across to the frame rail other side at same location to help with side stresses while recovery and help with...

First I dig that Truck, and being an A3 makes me want one or copy. The front recovery bumper is very tough, KOOL, and when finished give me a pound figure to compare to, please. My front already seems heavy with mine, K30 Silverado Dually, lifted, and big block. I am at 100 plus winch. I have...

Get an estimate to repair, or two. Call rental for a truck for a week rate, quote. You are not well, possible concussion and this is even more stress than needed. Then call your insurance, give them estimate, quote for rental, and that you may have possible health issues. Do not wait to long...

Lionel I have been here a short time and try to participate and although I am not right or wrong always I do stick my head in there and get wacked now and then. I just had a good laugh tho as it really is about that, participating. The Growlers when posted for sale I bet were looked at pretty...

I bought boxes of the wiring loom cover from jc whitney years ago, 15,20 and still use it on all kinds of areas that chafe. I happened on some industrial stuff at work that is heavier or thicker gage that is good for hydro lines. Not only for protection but make areas look cleaner more...

I agree that to find a diesel Blazer will be a vehicle hunt of epic proportion. I have seen 2, and they were 84 models. I am sure that you may find one in an area that has no real winter weather. Most by now have been converted to gasoline, or their service life has been met. You may find a...

Now would be a good time for everybody to check all areas for wires chaffing. Any time I am into servicing a machine or vehicle I take time to check for anything that may be loose or vibrating, air cleaner wing nuts, or may need a new clamp, nylon tie. You never know.

Thanks for the information.

My experience with diesel fuel and gasoline is a love and now hate relationship. New fuels for on roadway use are refined with government regulations in place. Winter fuel, summer fuel, north, south, east, west fuel, all do and have a purpose. Fuels today are formulated for new vehicles and...

I believe that I read two of the micro fighters would be on CAP at all times. And you can bet that any aircraft recovered that is not at ready condition would be jettisoned. The Mothership would require a maintenance schedule also but is never discussed other than refuel. The day of stealth...

Very interesting indeed. It would seem that the tech involved was developed in one form or another on several aircraft over the next 35 years, perhaps longer. To me the concept that a crew of Airmen could recover, rearm, fuel, and Launch an aircraft at 30,000 feet in an at best pressurized...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! The wife just said the other day 434 when I said new engine, BB for the 85SSMC. She said the 454 is to heavy that is in there now. Weight reduction is needed on the front. Welcome from SE Missouri!
