    White smoke startup 6.5

    I experienced a weird issue this week. I hadn’t started my perfect running m1123 in a week and it was 44 degrees outside. I turned to the wait and watched the light go out but it seemed like it was only on for about 1/2 the normal time. I went to crank and it wouldn’t start and I was getting...

    Hmmwv M1114 soft top conversion

    You might want to post in the parts wanted. I’m sure you will get a set

    Hmmwv M1114 soft top conversion

    Make sure you get oem rails…. I got a set from SECO and they are Chinese or worse. The left and right side didn’t even match up when put back to back. The bow is thinner and smaller also. I thought I was getting oem stuff as it was advertised.

    Hmmwv M1114 soft top conversion

    Back rails are longer than the front if I remember. I never could get the 4-man rail to sit flush with the b-pillar. The bottom edge wouldn’t let my rear X-door close properly.

    You won’t do that on a 12k shaft

    Wheels spinning on unlevel ground

    I would love to have a Detroit Locker in the rear and work on my brake to get traction. I will do one in the rear at some point and time. Bigger fish to fry. Before you lose traction you first need to drive. Lol that’s where I’m at. AC blows cold

    Wheel and tire questions

    I think they are a knock off of a H2 wheel painted black.

    6.2 quality valve cover gaskets? Tips/tricks?

    Did you do the valve cover’s once before? I noticed that orange rtv was used on previous gaskets and you used it on new valve covers. I don’t think orange is for that application but I’m probably wrong. Glad you used new covers. I believe RHW said not to reuse them. I did my IP on my non-runner...

    thoughts on electric fuel pump

    I like mechanical things. I don’t like to add anything that complicates things. Mechanical fuel pump works when engine is running. Hahaha, that being said.I have replaced pumps on both of my trucks. I would love to have a Duramax swap but I don’t want the computer and everything else required to...

    Wheels spinning on unlevel ground

    With that being said… keep in mind that if you lift one wheel on a sloped driveway it will roll down the driveway!!! Ask me how I know

    Losing power, overheating, shutting off, after a couple miles

    I wish he was closer to me or my truck would make it that far… lol. I don’t like people touching my stuff, but I trust RWH more than myself. I did amazing work on my IP and cleaned and painted everything that went back on. I couldn’t have afforded to have it done.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    I was reading the specs on outback’s website and it said it had a maximum of 200psi and can run 24/7 at 150psi. Never heard of such a thing

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Geared hub drain plug removal advice

    Clean the oil off of it and weld a nut on it. Weld a big washer on it and then weld nut to washer. Reverse drill bit.

    Differential options

    I don’t like to rely on air compressor, plastic lines and switches. OX locker is a cable I believe and has less moving parts. I think the ARB is a fancy Jeep thing

    Differential options

    I want a Detroit Locker for the rear. They get a fair amount of hate because of their on road manners. You would probably be just fine with the front and learn how to brake properly as suggested above.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    That seems reasonably to me especially with the price of diesel

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    2.00 a mile for non runners. That probably gets you really close
