    Fuel Injector Issue-LDT 465

    Ever find out what the cause of the popping sound was, or the solution to your issues???? I'm having similar issues including popping sounds coming from the exaust/intake(at idle and under load) and elevated EGT's. Turbo output already tested ok, I'll try the other suggestions posted previously...

    Soft Top repair or replace?

    Installed mine last night and this is what I've learned..... Marine Goop does not look like it's going to hold for a permenant fix and use smaller rivets, I used 3/16 ones and it was almost impossible to reinstall the top into the channel. I saw this morning where others used 1/8 rivets, I wish...

    Soft Top repair or replace?

    Just repaired mine using the info here and a couple other threads. I used the marine GOOP for adhiseive (the best I could get locally) and rivets. I'll see how it holds up.

    WRMorrison's "just another bobber" thread

    So where are those lift blocks going in the front if they're not going between the axle and the spring (which is a BAD idea)? Or are they spring mount relocator blocks?

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    No need to premix in the filter station but it does thin it out a little in mine and make it flow faster thru the filters. I really like the fact that you used the MV filters, but you need to filter finer than 6 microns. I filter down to 2 microns useing WIX filter #??? I'll have to look at it...

    New Bolt On wheel ADAPTERS for FMTV & 5 TON COMBAT rims

    Wow good thinking with your homemade scribe tool! This looks to cost a little less than some of the other adapters due to not needing so much extra grade 8 hardware to aquire, am I right?

    Spare tire hoist project

    Yep, in the back straight up or so I was thinking. If I mount it at a little bit of a lean to the left it would keep it from scrubbing the post coming up so much(and keep bloody deer off it a little more). That might be a good idea.... As far as swinging it into the bed I've not come up with...

    Downshifting question

    Well aware of these point that's why I bought one, and I don't recall anything in the manual about double clutching but I may be wrong..... My comment was on topic and not really ment as a question. Your Ford rant and percived disparaging remark was entirely off topic and uncalled for as did...

    Downshifting question

    Picked up a knuckle boom!!

    The plate on the bottom of the crane will hold, he's refering to the actual sheet metal that makes up the bed floor. I't not strong enough and will flex alot and possibly tear with much leverage it will be exerting on the floor. The frame is lots thicker, stronger, and less likely to flex. I'm...

    Spare tire hoist project

    I've been kicking around building a removable hoist to pickup and remove my 395 spare from the bed and this is what I've come up with. I'm installing a trailer hitch on my truck and plan on mounting this crane to a adustable pendulm hitch reciver, minus the pendulm. No swivel, just lift push it...
