Since the new Skyraider engines they have been flying the wings off her! Thanks for the pics!

We talked about that one in this thread... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/77414-suv-deuce.html The issues are flex at the cab joint and weight. The construction is straightforward enough once those details are worked out. You can make it look like an Oscar Meyer...

There is a SS member discount from the manufacturer of that OD kit. He is a vendor here on the forum. M35 tom ?(I think that's the handle)

I always wondered about fuel efficiency/engine longevity with these things and bigger tires. Most of these trucks being driven unloaded, those would seem to keep the engine in that 1800-2000 rpm sweet spot. The lack of leverage could keep your foot farther in negating the advantage... but I...

Thanks for the tip. It turns out no. I can get a 420cc Honda clone with electric start for $280 + uncle sugar. But those diesels sure do look nice for other projects. I think I already have the pump "fixed"... they build a lot more pressure when the grub screw and locknut are not missing on...

My boss just handed me an AR 4000psi 4gpm pump... (He considers it junk.) I think I might be a 13 hp horizontal shaft engine away from trying this after all. I would really love to see one of you guys run yours on video next time you use it.

This is what we are dealing with. :cookoo:aua Where do milk, eggs and bacon come from? One in three youths don't know - Telegraph

Those Hella 24V Halogens are just as bright and clear. for $40 each IIRC

Remember the LED flashlights when they first came out? $100+ each. Now they are $20 for an LED of (at least) twice the output as the model of 2000. The pace of LED tech is advancing even faster than 10 years ago with the new push for residential use to replace those toxic CFLs. 5 years and...

So I ask again. Who do we have on our side? Besides rational thought, of course. I don't see the MVPA taking down the big enviro lobby. So who do we donate to? I would like to see some slick pamphlets or some known face on the news at least mentioning reality.

This is a first shot across the bow by a group interested in taxing and regulating. The science is so bad it's laughable, and the fact it's getting so much press speaks volumes about the drive of certain groups to exploit it. The umbrella salesman must always find someone to scream "the sky is...

Never forget... People are stupid.

Miners.... if a miner gets lung cancer, it's got to be the diesel exhaust, right? How stupid do people have to be to fall for such bad science? auaaua

Keep in mind that load is being added and transferred all the way up the driveline.

Yeah. And it's (relatively) easy to do. Your "trailer" will be sitting on the rear tandems from another deuce and your driveshaft joint would be a large rip-off of the old LandRover design. You would need to run a fairly complicated split shaft design that would handle the extra load all the...

So if I do this, the media will cut the CARC well, but I may be looking at repacking all of the bearings and flushing all of the fluids to be certain it's clean? That could get expensive... I was really hoping a blow off with air and a powerwasher would be enough.

All safety equipment provided. The primary media he uses is called "Black magnum" and looks like coal slag. He also lists glass beads, walnut shell and corn cob. I'm trying to thumbnail how many square feet the surface of an M35A2 would be, as well as if the walnut is safe for my '64...

Also, do you have a multi-meter? A $5 Harbor Freight special will do... You might have to check some fuseable links.

That sounds similar to the ignition switch failures we used to see. The 80s-90s Fords were notorious. If the contact has failed/burned to the "Key On" contact that powers the dash lights/accessories circuit it could do what you are describing. I'll look for a wiring diagram to see what things...

Check the dashboard grounds. When did the issues start and did all of it happen at once?
