All the valve stems on mine are toward the shallow end also. I keep a double ended chuck in my tool box also for airing up the outer dualies.

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the club... I'm in Puyallup and wouldn't mind a get together...

Welcome aboard and good luck on your purchase.. The air shift seems to be more desirable. I had seen that truck add also, looks like it would be a good starter rig.

I had a problem with the plug on the water pump. I ended up heating the pump housing around the plug then used an impact to back out the plug. The top plug i ended up using a cheater bar. A little kroil wouldn't be a bad thing to put on and let soak for a day before hand.

Oh and welcome aboard!!

I've looked at the ones in Puyallup since they're about 5 min. from me... I like the C turbo myself.

Sorry to say, but my gauges are home made with parts laying around the garage.:-D

No black smoke yet..... But I can see some when I get on it. I hit 11 psi accelerating above 2200 rpm. Boost seems to be relative to engine rpm and load. When I load it at 1600 rpm I think I run 5 -6 psi. Hope this helps.

So far I've turned up mine 1 flat and gotten a little over 1000 deg pre turbo. I've got a probe for both front and rear manifolds. The rear runs hotter 'cause the probe is right across from #4 exhaust. I've gone as high as 1050 Deg. Running about 11 psi boost. Pic of my gauge setup.

Well I'm building my own Fording kit after the flooding we had a couple of weeks ago. The only "stock" item is the air switch on the dash. I've added the indicator light for that switch too. I'm planning on plumbing the axles and tranny and xfer case into the pressurized system. I've also...

That is about what the description said about my Deuce from Ft Lewis. It started right up when I got there... Ya never know...:-D

I can help also, with inspection and off GL site storage if you need it. Kurt

Here's a post that has a description on how I flipped the Lunette on my 105's http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=25649 Hope this will help

Welcome aboard. Better get them manuals out and start studying them..:razz:

You will probably have 4:11 gears then, which is a good all around set of gears.

All you have to do is jack up one tire and put the tranny in neutral and spin the jacked up tire to get the carrier to turn. I'll post some pics of what the numbers look like. The other numbers are part numbers and month/ year of manufacture.

If you still have the cover off of the rear end, you can look on the ring gear for some numbers. The ones your looking for would be something like 11:41. the 11 stands for the number of teeth on the pinion and the 41 stands for the teeth on the ring gear. divide the second # by the first and...

Both axles have an "open" differential. No mechanical device in the differential to transmit power to the wheel with the most traction. If you have a posi or locker in the front axle you'd notice at the least "torque steer" when in 4 wheel drive in the front axle. worst case would be that the...

From the pics, it looks like the cables were removed. I may get out there to take a look at the 5 tons.

So did you look over that XM816 wrecker too??? How about the dump's that I could see in the picture?
