Are the external dimensions the same between 1" pin adapters and 3/4" pin adapters for hummers? I have access to 1" drills I just don't want to weaken an adapter by doing it.
If I get a truck that has a non-running 6.2 it's cheaper and easier to drop a gas engine in it. I'm not willing to mess with a GL crate motor. I'm not worried about mileage. This would be for mostly in town driving. I've got a crewcab Dmax for a dailey driver. There's always my 454 under...
Has anybody published a what's needed list to convert a CUCV to a gas engine? There's a few parts trucks on GL that might be a good start. I have no interest in replacing the diesel if it needs major work. So far my list is this.
1. Gas engine with carb, mech fuel pump, and HEI ignition -...
The front bumper looks like a standard Warn winch bumper with the blackout lights and slave plug moved. The brush guard was added later. I've seen the rear before but can't place it. Is it really an M1009? The slave plug looks to be old style not NATO and the hood ornament and tailgate...
There's a lot of stresses put on the suspension during a turn. Dropping leaves out of the springs gives you more lateral control without putting all the stress into the torque rods. Looking at it again you wouldn't need blocks but shorter u-bolts.

OK Ok, I'll painfully go back through Sept and October's Hot Chick's on the local radio's web site to find her!!!
So what's the story on the winch? I was thinking of a 10 ton wanna be. Take an M813, medium wheel base. Convert to a 5th wheel and add the winch behind the cab. Change the...
Joe spend the money and start the passport process now. My work has a location near Cambridge England and I've traveled there many times. Unfortunatley it's expensive in country due to the exchange rate. Other than that public trans is easy to use. Depending on your site seeing wants a car...
I've seen std semi tractors with a ball mounted behind the 5th wheel. Most of them look like the ball is set between the frame rails or the mounting plate is below the frame not on top.

A commercial driver license (CDL) is required in Minnesota to operate vehicles that weigh more than 26,000 pounds, vehicles that carry more than 15 people including the driver, and vehicles identified as school buses, or carrying hazardous materials.
The process of obtaining a CDL...
