Hey walkerhunter, I like the name! You an AMC's The Walking Dead fan by any chance? lol
:beer: Uh oh, I hope my attempt at humor isn't construed by the mods as an attempt at starting a "zombie thread". I'd never think of blatantly violating the TOS like that! :mrgreen:
That HF pump setup is exactly what I had planned for scavenging WMO and ATF to fuel my deuce. I'm glad someone else had the same idea and proved it's workable.
:mrgreen:
OK, Now for the BIG question. Has anyone with a pyrometer on thier multifuel deuce added a muffler, and if so did it change the average EGTs? When the weather and timing allows, I'm making a 500+ mile trip to recover my 72 AMG M35A2 and the previous owner added a FREAKIN HUGE muffler. I plan to...
Eactly why I'd put the body of one on an M105 frame. Better yet, take the whole trailer, remove the axle and suspension, cut off the tongue and yoke, then mount that frame on top of the M105 frame with some urethane bushings to allow for flex and movement. Better still, crossmember the top of...
Don't forget a pic or two of that toe! that should be interesting! J/K, good argument for steel-toed boots though! lol can't wait to see how it's coming along.
:driver:
You're gonna laugh at this but I'm serious as eyeball cancer. Take those print manuals, throw in a bookmark or two and put them in the bathroom, or as I call it "The reading room".
It may take a little while to read them there, but you'll learn a lot in a reasonable amount of time.
:grd:
Picture if you will, A slightly larger version with more storage space underneath for food, supplies/provisions and camping gear/bugout items and hunting weapons, built on an M105 chassis and pulled behind a deuce, bobber or 5-ton. Now that's a camping trip!!!!! My brain is spinning with the...
I would think a good strong flashlight and a look inside the tank would be in order. Unless you're running WMO and your fuel is black, I would think you'd be able to see water in there. Also inspect and if needed replace the seal on your tank cap. Because your tank is vented through a line up...
Well I'm no diesel mechanic, but that last clip "weird sounding rev" sounds like she's not hitting on all 6 to me. The turbo sounds beautiful, but you don't need all 6 to get the hair dryer to spin. Did you happen to check your fuel tank for water after your truck's little "swim"?
:popcorn:
Now go get yourself a set of Michelin 46" 395 XML radials and put all 6 wheels on the same direction as the fronts, then stand back and admire how much cooler your truck looks!
:driver:
Even if you remove the inner wheel, the outer in the same (turned out) orientation will still give your rear wheels a wider track than the front. The advantage is more stability if you're carrying a higher profile load like a large cabover camper, utility box or better stability in more intense...
Hey Hank, I hate to come along punchin holes in your project, but I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that by bolting down your M105 bed to the frame of the truck, you're going to restrict the frame from articulating and could end up with traction problems in a rough situation. When the stock...
An old buddy used to have a large doghouse just inside the gate to his back yard. Inside the doghouse was a large stereo speaker, and an amplifyer with an infra-red eye sensor just like the ding-dong at 7-11, only instead of ding-dong, when the beam was broken by someone entering the yard, they...
Those are some groovy pieces of green iron history! Of course being that they're gassers, I'd hate to have to pay to feed one of those thirsty beasts! lol :jumpin:
