Oops, sorry, I am using a HVLP gun from Home Depot not the H.F gun. I think it was under $60 I can understand saving pennies, but I shy away from most HF products. Your milage may vary.

I'm using 1.4 needle and nozzle on mine at 45 ish. (+/- 7 psi) find the correct pressure and mark it on your dial with a piece of tape, so the next time you paint something, you can find its happy place. I didnt find any need to thin it at all. Just adjust your gun properly and test it out on...

Very nice!

Seems very doable, with the right tools. Pretty straight lines for the most part. Some bends, but nothing serious. Anyone try it? Or try making their own hard top for the 939's? I'm pretty crafty when it comes to metalwork. I'm not talking about the roll cage assembly and gun ring, just a...

Would it also effect the power output at the start? Shifts were definitely noticeably smoother.

I have no experience other than this change to 15-40. It now shifts like butter, runs cool, even over the passes of 10k feet but drives like I am pulling dead weight when I am starting up from 0 to when the turbo kicks in. Now that I'm home and switching between the other two trucks, it's...

Id hate to start a "what's the best fluid" war, or a "Ford vs Chevy" war of transmission fluids, but, now I'm curious. We have claims that switching to Dexron and/or switching to Transyn will destroy your transmission, cause loose stool, hair loss and pryopism among other ailments. I did a...

Thanks WYomer and Lance. Lots of good info there. I'll keep 15-40 in it for the summer. If I change it I'll look at a synthetic or I'll look at the Allison site. Thanks for the link. You are right. A synthetic change is pricey, but Allison transmission change is more pricey. If all you do is...

Never took on that challenge. Trying to avoid it if possible. :) By the way I live in TX, while it isn't the Middle East, it's a hot sumbeech out there right now! I was amazed at the noticable difference between the two fluids. What "weight" would Dexron be equal to? 10wt/hydraulic fluid...

Yep, I could, however, at the moment, I'm more interested in the physics behind this fluid change effect. I can go (back) to 10wt, 30wt or Dexron. But interested in hearing others opinion and experiences. See if anyone else has noticed a similar effect.

Another modification for the serious fly fisherman driving past some of the best fishing in Colorado. A rod rack for the back of the truck. It is a pain to have to take down your rod after each stop.

So, we finished the mods to the truck before we took off. Here are some photos and description. I removed everything from from the back wall and mounted a 17"x48" piece of plywood painted green. Made a great place to mount the gadgets and wiring. (Most of the pics show wiring unsecured, we did...

Before we took the Mission 22 truck on the 2000 mile trip from Idaho, through the mountains of Colorado, to Texas, I decided a full fluid and filter change was a wise idea. Based on numerous threads here, I used 15-40 for the transmission and engine. I was torn. Numerous threads, TM's, posts...

I used latches from "Those Military Guys". Reasonable price, and easy install.

Cool project. Post pics so we can learn from your experiences.

Someone asked about bare metal, primer, rolling it on etc. i rolled the hood. Looked fantastic. I had some bare spots of metal, roughed up by rust and sandblasting. I'm not concerned about the paint sticking. It's primer and paint mixed and I think it will be fine. I have never seen a latex...

I did the exact same thing a week ago and the girl said I should buy some more in a week because they would be on sale! :|

That's very nice. I love 1101/2's though and I love the tan ones more! Well done!

Fed paint code. Fyi Home Depot has paint on sale now $10 off/gal

Just finished one. Pleased with the texture, price and ease of use (fumes clean up etc). I paid a company to sandblast the truck. They stripped the entire bed floor and about 50% of the rest of the bed. I'm pleased.
