There is a 1/4" pipe plug at each end of the exhaust manifold centered on the endwall pointing transversely. I'm guessing that is the plug jasonjc used. From its location, he is measuring only the exhaust from the #1 cylinder, depending on the probe it may not even be extending far enough into...

Yes they did clean up well. That is quite a fleet you have there. TWO M123s! Want to sell your M816, or have a line on one for sale? I'll hopefully be looking to buy one in a month or two.

Re: RE: 2.5ton vs 5ton axles An interesting thread here, with some interesting info. Per the Memphis data which no one is disputing, the front axle rating is 11,000 pounds, the rear tandem 28,000 pounds or 14,000 pounds per axle. I guess maybe the rear axles get another 3,000 pounds per axle...

Tell us more about the engine? Is that a ripoff design too or is it a Korean original? Intake and IP on the right side of the engine, exhaust on he left! How much power do they make?

Well, I've got the rest of the pieces. I bought an engine from GL, it had a C turbo and I sold the turbo. I still have the intake manifold elbow, slobber tube, oil lines & odd parts and fasteners to completely install a turbo on a non turbo truck. All I don't have is the big "C" shaped air pipe...

How about a used hot water heater? Check out a mobile home or RV dealer, they use smaller ones in 5-30 gallon sizes. Liquid tight, insulated, already plumbed, you just need to find the right size and shape to fit your needs. Or even a RV holding tank that you can add your own insulation to....

My advice would be to NOT drain the lines. The military did not do it when they converted from DOT 3 to DOT 5 (aka, BFS, for "Brake Fluid, Silicon"). The reason that draining is not necessary has to do with the colors of the brake fluids. FRESH BFS is a dark purple color. After a fairly short...

The keyway seal, cork or other, is a MUST HAVE. Gear oil is only for the differential, due to vehicle motion some makes it up into the axle shaft tubes where it is hopefully stopped by the inner axle seal and the keyway seal. If any gear oil makes it into the hub, it can quickly ruin the wheel...

I've had the Deuce up those very same trails. Keep hoping to round a bend or crest a hill and find an ATV coming at me from the opposite direction just to see the panic in their eyes!

The correct batteries are a 6TL, also know as a U6TL. NAPA has them for around $170, Interstate makes them as well. Interstate pricing is set by the retailer and ranges from $170 to under a hundred bucks, so it pays to shop around. Interstate has a retailer locater on their website so check...

It ain't going to happen! A gas engine requires a highly volatile fuel (gasoline) to be completely vaporized by the time it reaches the combustion chamber for the fuel charge to ignite by the spark plug. The highest ratio of oil (vegetable, petro or whatever) to gasoline is would be about the...

JT, I think YOU are jealous that at age 61 I still have forearms like Paul Bunyan and buns of steel!

I have to go with the majority opinion here, one of your batteries is bad. A good set of batteries will crank a multifuel for a long, long time before they tire out, especially so in warm weather. Go to your local auto parts store and buy a battery hydrometer, they are only a few bucks. Test the...

Re: RE: Driveshaft clearance Good point, I was going to ask the same question myself. The stock setup uses a check valve between the two tanks, boatcarpenters setup would defeat the safety margin in the original design. Need those check valves to allow a little grace period if the compressor...

I have one or two spare wooden bows, yours for the shipping.

Here is the brake bleed process from the TB for converting from DOT-3 to DOT-5. You are doing the just the opposite but the process is the same. Pay particular attention to the note about the sequence of bleeding - Master cylinder first (if it has a bleed screw), then air-hydraulic unit, then...

A real off the wall suggestion here - If this is a square cut ring and not a true O ring - how about an oil filter cannister base gasket? Baldwin makes quite a few different sized gaskets, most of which are sold as individual parts, maybe you could get lucky and find one close enough to use. If...

Does anyone know of a place with a good price on Air-O-Matic Power Steering? APB at M35Products has it for $1800, I thought I saw it someplace for $1200-$1300 but I don't remember where.

Don't know if beer is strong enough for this project. It looks more like a "Tequila Surprise".
