I doubt that! $15K doesn't go very far on a project of that magnitude Plus --- do you really think you could do the complete project solo --- without help --- without having to spend anything on labor? I wouldn't be surprised if I've spent 15K on my deuce AFTER buying it and it was already...

Oh NO, NO, NO, NO --- NOT AGAIN!!! I'm buying some popcorn futures before this get out of hand again.

I gotta hand it to him --- driving off-road from Canada to Argintena is pretty ambitious. The most ambitious thing I ever wanted to do was right after I got out of the military when I wanted to roll a keg of coors from Los Angeles to New York but I sobered up and decided to go to Disney Land...

There used to be a guy that came on the forum a lot that had grandios plans to build a super deuce that would have everything imaginable on it --- dual winches --- lockers --- lots of horsepower --- different transmission --- all sorts of wonderful trinkets. His wonder truck was going to be for...

I try to stay below 1,200 because I like a lot of margin in my life. When I first installed the LDS engine it was turned up real loud and one day while pulling a grade I absent mindedly let the temps (pre-turbo) creep up to a little over 1,250. It was just for an instant but it scared the he...

The power can be turned up but beffore doing so you should install a pyrometer so you can monitor the exaust gas temperature (EGT). When you turn up the fuel the EGTs will increase. Aluminum melts at around 1221 degrees. Install the temp probe ahead of the turbo so you get an accurate...

I'm impressed! The culture at SS in changing. Two years ago the purists would have been hyper-ventelating before the third post was made in this thread. I got so tired of the implied guilt trips by some of the purist members that I cut way back on my visits to SS. As I've mentioined in...

Are you saying that you run your engine up to 3,000 RPM??? :o:o:o

I hit a large doe dead center on the winch while running 55 MPH last summer. No damage to Rosie. The red paint came in handy but there was a lot of red stuff on the windshield. :driver: As I hit it I was concerned that she might go over the winch and get into the grill but she didn't. The...

Concerning an alternate transmission "If" you don't have a winch and therefore don't need a PTO you can replace both your current transmission and transfer case by install a 350 automatic transmission complete with the standard automatic bolt on transfer case. To do so you will have to remove...

I've ran 1400s and I'm currently running 395s. All ego aside, For a stock LDT (non-LDS) deuce I feel the 11:00E20s are the best all around size. They fit on stock wheels without fudging the system and they don't rob power and brake efficiency the way the larger (especially the 1400s) tires do. I...

The M37 was built to keep up with the troops NOT the traffic. If you want to drive the truck on the road --- in traffic --- the 350 is the ticket. With the stock 583 gearing you are not going to safely get more that 47 MPH out of the 230. At 2,500 RPMs the stock engines start vibrating and...

I use it as a fuel additive to increase lubricity and protect the IP. In the winter when running straight Nr-1 fuel I double up on the dosing. Good Stuff

Santa Agrees --- That is "IF" you don't lose a tire first. 395s are only rated for 58 MPH

Here you go

Good point Dan but you forgot to add the bodies of several innocent bleeding and dead bystanders laying on the highway. ________ As far as my comments to the original poster: Hoodie --- What a piece of work you are! You come on this forum as a newbie, with little to no obvious understanding...

Hello JT, Thank you --- With the economy the way it is I've came to the conclusion that now isn't the time to be shaking up my life when it requires selling real estate and rolling stock. Business is so bad that even the people that don't intend to pay aren't buying so now isn't the time to...

Not that I'm trying to take the lead in this but I called Gearhart Engineering @ 269-278-6945 and spoke with Russ. My main reason for calling was to talk about brakes. He said the disc brakes that are shown on his website were built for an offroad vehicle that was equipped with 15" wheels...

Interesting numbers Dennis. Have you ever ran the numbers to see what speeds you would get with a gasser with 9:00 & 11:00 rubber and stock gearing "if" you were to install an overdrive transmission from an M35A2 from a milti deuce?
