Finally something real to fix on the truck. Over the last year, I've lost 3 headlights, just realizing they've all been on the same (driver) side. The last outing in the truck was interesting. I usually run my hazards on the freeways here, too many Dale Earnhardt-types in Houston. I decided to...

Snagged one off ebay a few weeks back, seems like a good headset, and fits under my helmet perfectly. Bad thing is, its the Canadian version for the IRIS/MeshNET system, so the plug is different. Am I hosed on this, or is there an adapter I can get to make this work with a VIC-1/3?

Saturn and TNJ are both out of their kits, and need to do some work on my injection pump pretty soon before our big trip coming up. If not an NOS kit, then perhaps some cross-over numbers of gaskets I can source out elsewhere? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Since I kinda posted the last one a bit too close to the day, i'll start this one a good ways out. I know a few Texas/Louisiana people mentioned they were interested last time, so let's try again. Im thinking an overnight trip, including BBQ, beer, and bonfire. We had a blast with the small...

Mine's been well used before its exit from the .gov. 2 or 3 of the clips and straps to hold the cover when rolled are broken, and there's a nice (though linear) tear in the rear tailgate cover and the front zipper came unsewn. I'll post some pics here when I can find them, but just ordered a...

I have an oldball truck to begin with... one of the early batches of trucks that was later sent through a refurb program and snagged a newer registration number... info from meldog as follows: Anyone have an idea of what the unit markings might have been? I'm redoing some things on my truck...

Well, looks like my beach trip ended with a small disaster... my canvas top got riped pretty good, almost in half width-wise. Need to find a new top soon, and don't know where to get one (saturn and tnj are out of stock) Thanks guys

Figured I'd make a quick thread to see if any other OD iron owners in south Texas/Houston area would be interested in tagging along to a beach party I organized for this weekend. About 30 friends of mine are coming out, and I'm bringing the Deuce out there. The more the merrier!

Noticed this weekend working on the truck that I had a good amount of diesel in the oil. Did a quick change, but need some tips where to start looking for bad seals on the injection pump or what I need to start rebuilding next week. There's no FDC on my truck, it's completely removed by the...

Have a few things I need looked at at Fort Riley, as the title shows. Thanks in advance.

Well, got the deuce sold this week, and picking up Motorolanut's 813 around the end of the month. Possibly driving it back down to Houston, so looking for guys on the way from Clarksburg. Might be sweet talking Kenny into coming along, so atleast i'll have an experienced gearhead for the trip...

Already have 1 bid on uship for $1755. I know thats pretty close to $1 per mile but thats about double what fuel costs to drive the thing back the 1400 miles to Tx. Ideas anyone?

Need 3 trucks looked at before closing time tomorrow... If anyone is in the area please let me know.

Searched and found a little bit, but figured I'd make a new thread instead of bringing a year+ old thread back from the grave... Looking for fuel mileage/mph that you 800 series guys get and with what tire setup... been semi-swayed away from the 900s and looking into a singled 813 now... I...

Other than the typical wash everything 3 times with fresh water, what else do I need to check for? Hit some salt water crossing a "creek" about 2' deep, so soaking the truck right now with a pair of sprinklers under the truck and just finished soaking everything else I could get. Any seals I...

Bout time I fix this leaky mess... there's been a good leak since I bought the truck from Wade, a good drip while running coming off the front and some lines off the IP... just kinda ignored it until I checked my oil today and got a decent whiff of what I'm assuming is diesel in the oil now...

Well, just the stack, grill/cover, and the upper stack... Time to start fixing this truck again

Yeah, I knew it... I fuggin knew it... Karma came back to haunt me this weekend, even after helping someone get their Bronco out of a ravine... clipped the top of the exhaust stack on a tree limb, which in turn yanked the exhaust back, through the mirror, and ripped the cab up where the mirror...

Kinda stumped how to get the glass out of the arms on the regulator... dont want to flex anything and break the glass.. Thanks guys!

Well, I thought I had a major issue with leaking axle seal up front... basically, I'm not getting residue on the wheel from leakage during driving, or parking... the only time i've noticed a leak of fluid on the ground is when I have the wheels turned to the left (right side is leaking) and...
