Re: RE: Never Mnid rofl

I know Clark Truck converts 800's to full air. It would be top dollar with them though. http://www.clarktruck.com

Sweet, more fodder for the deuce forum! Welcome to the site oldshep!!

I did a Skyjacker 2" spring kit on my CUCV when I first got it. That was adequate for 33x12.50 swampers on the stock rims. When I stepped up to 35x12.50 tires, I trimmed the very inside lip off of the the back of the front fenders. No other clearance issues. When I took the diesel out and...

Thanks DH. Adam, I may take you up on that!

I made an early AM parts run to John Winslow's today. I picked up the last important bits to get my truck legal and road-worthy for Aberdeen. Well, except for the windshield glass and I'll get that from the local auto glass place. I picked up the following: - New bumper to replace my bent one...

Hey Gimpy, The additive is called EDTA. It is designed to remove the lead sulfate covering from the lead plates in the batteries. This sulfate deposit is what reduces the batteries ability to take and keep a charge. The battery needs to be in good shape for this to work. If it has and broken...

Good point Lanty, it does seem that way. The internal threads were no big deal since the CTIS doesn't use the cores. I just needed some good threads on the outside where the wheel valve screws on. I found a new stem close to home so hopefully I'll get that done tomorrow. I think I'll have to...

It's really no big deal David. It's not like this was the last thing keeping me from driving it :) I did use the Dremel to reduce the diameter of the stem before trying to cut the threads. It started out great, but then went crooked on me. I had to cut it off and start again. The second...

Road trip!! Congrats on your new 5-ton.

Well, it turns out that the 4-way tool is great for chasing threads, but not for cutting threads. That sucker was binding up bigtime even after I reduced the diameter of the stem a bit with the Dremel. I finally called it quits after about an hour of screwing around with it. Grrrr. I'll be...

RE: Re: RE: A3 Wheel Needed... Ditto. A quality wheel with no air leaks will go a LONG way to winning new business among the 4x4 folks. I'd even buy a set to go on my F-250 with Rockwells project ;)

Turns out the Schrader valve is an odd-ball pitch and size. I'll just pick up the valve tool and give it a whirl.

Thanks Robert and David. That was the confirmation I was looking for. I have seen the little tools with the tap, die, core wrench, etc... on them. I just wasn't sure if they would cut new threads or just clean up the old ones. I'll chop off the stem just behind the last thread with a Dremel...

A couple of pics after it made it home.

My bro-in-law and I looked at it yesterday. When I switched the turn signal all the way to the L or R, the turn lights would stay on steady front and rear. If I held it in a half-switched position, they blinked just fine. The truck looks to have taken a swim in salt water before. Maybe the...

Thanks guys! I'm going to check with Winslow on Monday and see if he has any. If not, I'll take you up on your offer since Aberdeen is fast approaching!

Incredible! I can't believe how quickly you turned that thing from an eye-sore to a show-winner!! PS, I'm moving this thread to the Gama Goat forum.

3 weeks! Dang, I aint got time for that. I may just have to rob the one off of the spare.

All right, here's the skinny. I was out of town all last weekend and didn't a chance to work on it. This weekend, my parents-in-law are here for a visit and to help us work on the house. So, I have been under strict orders not to fool around with the truck this weekend. I did in fact go to...
