    why is my truck faster than the others??

    the diesel fuel only pumps have the fuel density compinsator bypassed. i read somewhere, maybe PS magazine, this was done because fuel was leaking into the engine and diluting the oil. Cheaper to bypass the compensator than repair it.

    Power Steering

    I addded the air assisted steering system to a duece, it's not very hard, just required lots of measuring and big drill bits. I liked the way it handeled. After the system is aired up, the wheel can be turned with one hand. [thumbzup]

    Gun Mounts added

    The primered steering columns are probsly that way for a few reasons: 1. CARC paint is dangerous, so units don't send them trucks to be painted becausse of a new steering column. 2. Most of the supply sections i have delt with have spray paint low on their priorty lists of things to buy. 3. Even...
