I use Shell Rotella-T 15-40 year around. I have an oil temperature gauge. The oil temp runs about 5 degrees over the water temp or around 185 to 195.

Rich (gohot229), I see from your album that you are a descendent of royalty. I'm sure you've made your grandfathers proud. Thank you for shareing your story. Welcome home brother.

This is probably the dump question of the year and I don't want to come off as if I'm being critical because I'm not but is it legal from a "street legal" standpoint to do an 8" lift?

An it sowed --- for forty days and forty nights

Tell me more! :shock: Did someone mistakenly install the left windshield glass on the right side or is the steering wheel on the wrong side? I want one.

I've got a 3,500 watt generator mounted in back. I carry a hand held mapps gas tourch to heat the intake manifold. Mapps gas is much better than propane because it is easier to light @ 30 below.

I have no problem stopping. I've never had to lock it up but I'm sure I could. I feel there is ample offset to having large tires, in my case 395/85R-20s, on a bobbed deuce simply because these trucks are hobby horses. Other than occasionally hauling a loaf of bread and a quarts of milk I...

Thanks for the come-back 100dollarman. I'm thinking that the 395s are a little wider than the 1400s. Have you had any experience putting 395s on stock rims?

With the economy the way it is I came to the conclusion that this is not the time to make a move that required selling anything --- like trucks, boats, house and land --- all of which would be required for the Thailand venue. I guess I'll just grow where I'm planted --- for a while anyway. :-D

I'm occasionally asked about the wheels on my truck and where a set can be purchased. My wheels are 11" wide (inside to inside) and both the original 1400s that the truck came with and the 395/85R-20s that are now on the truck look like they were made for the wheels. It is my belief that...

You are right --- one engine to the other shouldn't normally make any difference in top end speed. My original post was a little ambiguous and also contained an important typo. I've since edited it --- sorry about that --- Here is what I was trying to say: There is an appreciable power...

I've done quite a bit of business with Bob Stahl of Veterans Vehicles out in Wrentham Mass. Bob is old guard --- no computer & no website but he is one of the most knowledgable people I've ever met in the M37 and civilian Power Wagon area. I'm almost certain that he has some 265s. I'm certain he...

When greasing the window regulator I'd recommend using a grease that doesn't cause problems in cold weather --- that is if you live in cold country.

Propane dries our an engine. I would think the lack of lubricity with a diet of 100% pane would be harmful. I had an idea that I never followed through on a few years ago concerning building a very simple system that could be used to inject a small amount of propane for added boost on steep...

I'd re-seal it and see what happens.

Good lookin bobber! There is a lot to be said for rear exhaust in that it gets the noise, smoke and fumes behind you. It also looks really clean. Good job.

I say this half tongue in cheek but as loud as those old 200 cases are if you've got a seal out it could be letting out noise with the lub. Is ther a chance you got something (like saw grass) wrapped around the drive shaft/s and it took out a seal? Unless it's been ranning in 4WD on hard...

Ahhh ... A "Plower" Wagon

I would also say John Bizal at Midwest Military. What are the symptoms Bubba? Unless you run them out of oil they are darn near indestructible. I've seen them streatched (would-up) so bad from plowing snow in 4WD on city streets that they needed replaced. You haven't been plowing snow...
