The yard manager told the Mexicans in the yard to cut the boxes off of the M820s. They butchered the M810 too.
That is what I based my statement on. I know an American or two that have been out of work for over a year so yes I am a little cranky. I have friends who lost their jobs to Mexicans...
You going to crush all 20 5 tons ? I guess I just don't understand since I am not one of these people that has the capital to buy these things 10 at a time. I can't even afford one at today's prices .

I am sorry and I am sure I will get flamed but I have no time for someone who will destroy perfectly good trucks to begin with let alone rare one's. Wonder how many of those Mexicans are legal? I would be more than happy to pay scrap price to get a decent truck. Everybody wants a quick buck...
You will find that Xylene is fantastic for cutting gunk in the fuel system. Xylene, parts cleaning brush, nitrile gloves and a pan of some sort and start scrubbing.
Rick
P.S. Do the cleaning outside, Xylene is very flammable and not at all good to breath.
My bad, Is it the 366 or 427? I used to get the spacers for 427 TD from Offy. I don't know if they are still in business but I might have my old Machinist books that give part numbers for the spacers. I will look around but I am n the middle of a renovation so stuff is boxed and scattered.

A Tunnel ram can be one four, two fours, three twos. Any combination on a tunnel ram manifold. This is actually not a tunnel ram per say, It is a single plane high rise but it is the same basic idea. The Dart engineer is being VERY optimistic! A lot depends on the cam. You are going to need a...
All true, And if you use the same u-joints you had befoe the lift and they have any real miles you can also pick up a vibration. I would suggest that IF you are using the original u-joints and you get a vibration to put in new joints before anything else.

I bought a top of the line 12 volt Schumacher and it has never worked right. Sometimes it charges, sometimes it goes into desulfate mode and then shuts down indicating a bad battery. Put my OLD Shumacher on the same battery and it charges fine and load tests fine. When it does charge normally...
One of our members on the g838.org site does business over there and hooks up with these guys every time he goes over. They definitely like to party. They have quite a few 151's and they keep them in good shape.

If it still has the 4:56 gears and locker that thing is a beast. That was the hot setup years ago when they first started surplussing them out. Big block, big tires and hold my beer and watch this attitude.:roll:

Good luck, I got screwed just like Spicergear. You are doing the right thing though. One thing I would do, you say you got him his job? How is he getting there? Find out what he is driving and I can tell you how to "disable" it. No damage, just something he will not find and he will need...
