    Using contaminated diesel?

    i think at best it may clog the filter, if anything makes it past the filter or has components between the filter and tank hard to gauge the effect

    Fuel tank sleeve

    it helps keep bats and puppies out of the tank, with modern pump fuel can probably pull it out if it offends you, its a little annoying when using truck pumps as it collects the foam and slows down filling, id leave it in to control slosh in case the cap seal is weak with age

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    you aren't welding to the bone just the center of the joint, you gotta make it so the joint can't pull through, not sure what the square hole part in the middle is made from but on mine it didn't weld like steel stainless galvanized or iron, splattery ugly cold weld, thinking that part may be a...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    if they are made out of the same stuff as the ones on a deuce it don't weld well, this is up there with playing with a squirt gun mig/steel on a chunk of aluminum scrap to see just how crappy itll turn out, my welding teacher would call it bird 5hit and ended up nearly useless, i plated all of...

    Hydraulic fuses for brakes

    i was looking at a pinion brake but its unlikely to clear oil pan so it'll need to go on rear (fine by me as i have a detroit locker in front and need to unlock the hubs to drive on pavement) but if ya could run two in the back that could be amusing, i like this kit for the 4 pot caliper and big...

    Source for wheel adapter plates?

    HA squirt gun, i'm stealing that. got my plates from him, 6 normal mrap/rockwell and one with the rockwell lugs beveled on both sides for the spare (my hubs aren't flipped) so i don't need to screw with 4-500 foot pound adapter plate bolts when spare is inevitably configured for the wrong end...

    Leave duals or go Singles

    ahh i found crap info, seemed plausible though. i did scale the parts when i assembled my first 395 so 470 is fairly accurate for my combo of a steel rim, hutchinson beadlock, the bolts/washers/nuts, adapter plate and 100% XZL

    Leave duals or go Singles

    don't forget how much an assembled mrap/395 weighs to move them around, my 6 on the ground are steel and with adapters (spare is aluminum), hardware and a 35# beadlock are 470# a pop. aluminum mraps are 70 odd pounds less, runflat inserts are 50-60 more then just a beadlock, 9x20s on the...

    Which glue is best?

    i have the older one that uses a air compressor and that one works well for repairing/modifying plastic bumpers, without a blade tip to run between the seems and melt them so the surfaces bond as they come together immediately it may do more hard then good, a propane or map torch and a thick...

    Deuce turbo ideas

    kinda what i was thinking at 23:1 compression ratio too much past 15 maybe 20 psi and you'll end up with a decent connecting rod shaped boost leak in the block/oil pan, a more efficient design may be a nice improvement in airflow without excess boost (i have lds intake rockers awaiting me to...
