    Alternate fuels, Biodiesel

    If you like the spirits idea, try this. Mix the motor oil with the spirits. In what ever ratio you choose and see if it blends. Some hydrocarbons don't mix well with others. Take a plastic cup and drill a 1/16 hole in the bottom. fill it with diesel, then time it to see how long it takes to stop...

    Transfer Case - Slipping?

    Rob. All i had to do was Remove the Pass seat and brackets, and both floor pan covers. I even left the shifter is place. I just pulled the lincage. I removed 2 of the top cover bolts on the t-case and used 2 3/8 eye bolts then hooked up my chain fall. It's really easier than it looks. After...

    Transfer Case - Slipping?

    I just swapped my sprag for a air shift. Since the bottom of the t-case is odd shaped, i used I-bolts in the top cover of the t-case and lowered it to the ground with a chain fall. The whole swap took about 2 1/2 hours. No biggie!!!

    Interchange Fuel Filter Chart

    Crap! I've been running the wix for a few years now. Mabye i can get more power with a filter with less restriction. Does anyone know of a K&N filter that will fit? Mabye we could stack 2 or 3 to fit in the housing. Is this flow rating as new or when clogged? My filter indicator will show the...

    Alternate fuels, Biodiesel

    Gary. The problem with paint thinner is, it's a solvent. The injection pump needs some lube due to the tight tolorences. I use used motor oil (FREE) from friends and family. I just strain it through coffie filters 3 times before adding it to the tank. I've tried 20% oil to diesel with out any...

    turning up the fuel

    That's about right. If your smokin while crusing then it's too rich. Once you get the pyro you can fine tune it where it will make the most power with out getting the egt's too high.

    Sand, Mud and other off-road issues....

    I've had mine stuck in the mud more times than i want to admit. I've aired down to 10psi with out any problems. As far as sand, i've taken it to the beach a few times with great results. Before you drive through something walk it first. I keep plenty of chain with me to help in recovery. I wrap...

    Spray in bed liner

    I started gutting out the cab today. And i'm thinking of using a spray in liner in the cab. Anybody tried this? Does it insulate at all? Noise or temp?

    Over heating? or bad gauge

    If you decide to get a man one, you'll need to extend the fitting about 1/2 inch. the port where the sending unit goes is real shallow.

    Compare fuel milage

    I'm suprised you drive that fast. I rarely break 50 mph. I'm planning on a trip this fall to get a dropside bed. I'm going to cut the diesel with 20% used motor oil to help with the cost. I hopeing to average 13Mpg with the lock outs and airshift. I'm going to use the orginal front hubs on the...
