I haven't done the Bio-Diesel or WVO thing before. It just so happened that my brother had a 55 gallon drum of fry oil at his church they wanted rid of so I was taking it to Bjorn.
This was just a fluke. Not the typical experience by far according to those I have talked to :lol:
It was definitely a mess Chad. I did manage to wrestle that greasy pig back on the pallet after I got the lid secured. I'm guessing there is a rubber gasket too. I think that little lock that secures the big latch came loose which allowed the latch to pop open on impact.
I may pick up a...
Thanks Stan.
I got the spare tire back in its mount yesterday. That was fun without the davit boom. I rolled it into my pick-up bed with some ramps and then rolled it from the bed to the mount with the same ramps. Pretty slick solution, just some heavy rolling weight ;)
I also sanded and...
Hey Bjorn, I thought about spraying on some oven cleaner, but I'd need about 10 cans and would probably poison the local water supply. I am thinking either the bio-safe Gunk or the Bio-degradable Simple Green. I will go ahead and set the barrel out of the truck at my house or at the office if...
You may have seen in my 923 truck post that we loaded a 55 gallon drum of WVO in the back the other day. I am taking it to Bjorn at Aberdeen. It is in a plastic drum with a latching lid. My brother and I sat it on a pallet and strapped it down with 4 ratchet straps. It has been riding just...
It's picture time! Woo-hoo!!
You'll notice everything was added in a place where existing holes could be found. That way it can be returned to stock without any plug welds.
The license light and reverse light were added to make the VA inspectors happy. As big as this truck is, I may add a...
Dang, I've had my share of mouse nests in parked vehicles, but never dead vermin in the turbo inlet! My neighbor shaved his cat with the fan on his 460 once. Dang thing ran around half naked for a few weeks, but was lucky to be alive. So, cats may keep the mice away, but they also like warm...
Just got back from the big truck shop. They passed it no problem so it is now officially VA inspected, tagged and insured. Sweeeeet.
Took some quick pics at lunch. Will post up later.
RE: M56 with 1100 x 16
Looks good Ted! I really like the M37, 43, 56 with 11.00x16's. They fill up the wheel-wells nicely and the bump in speed doesn't hurt. Smokey seems happier!
Good to see you had a successful journey. I forgot all about you coming through last week. I always leave John's with more than I was planning on getting ;)
The DRMO will go, if I get time. It may look a little goofy since the Gillispie paint will be much darker than the faded CARC. No time for a repaint :) That'll have to come later.
I tried to get it inspected this morning, but it wouldn't fit in the service bay so they wouldn't do it. I...
When the military 6.2L in my 1984 CUCV crapped out, I bought a 1984 K10 pick-up with a 6.2L for swapping purposes. I swapped out the engine in a day with the help of my bro-in-law (Chad missed out on that project ;) ). The civi light-duty engine used a different intake, a different injection...
