    Hey New to Steel Soldiers

    nice looking truck congrats on the purchase! When you say you "modded" the injector pump, what does that mean? If your trying to increase HP for some reason and maybe I missed it in you pictures I did not see a Pyrometer or EGT? Maybe I just missed it, and by the looks of that pipe in the...

    5-ton Ram air

    If a person could come up with a LARGE air scoop that would be able to compress the air feeding into the engine that might work a little, I had an airplane that had a filter bypass on it and I could pull a couple more inches of manifold pressure with that open, bear in mind though that was 180...

    Buying a M1009, would like some second opinions.

    I had the opportunity to drive one that I was delivering to another guy, my observations on it were as follows!
