    M35 vs M135 axles for 4x4 project

    The joint shown in the center, Rezeppa, do not jerk the wheel back and forth when making a turn. They are alco called constant velocity joints. I would prefer them for my own use, very limited offroading.

    .71 od installed

    I spent some time at Inland Truck Parts. We couldn't find anything that would fit in the space lengthwise and was big enough. There probably is something, but whatever it is may not be so common. At one point I'd toyed with an OD for just the rears, but that would be well over the estimated $1K.

    help please with diesel generator add-on advice

    RE: Re: RE: Ok then... I would love to be able to retrofit a better regulator and governor, but I think something is wrong and it is fixable. Supposd to regulate voltage to 5% at full load and I'm running half. - so after today's experiments I don't think it is my load. Yesterday I used the...

    deuce running cold?

    mine runs around 160 till I put a load on it then it gets to 180-200. But more to the point, have you checked the conector at the temp sending unit? mine is going bad and the temp guage will sometimes jump when I hit a bump. It's where the wire exits he rubber cover of the connector. I will just...

    12 volt wiring issues, need help!

    Battery equalizer works for me. They should be disconected when the power is off to avoid a slight but annoying battery drain.

    snake in my truck!

    I feed a couple grizzly old feral tomcats here.. keeps them happy and healthy so they will hunt at night. They've gotten to know me well enough to eat from my hand, but don't trust anyone else. That's fine - no rats or pests here. Not many squirrels either. I think the big one likes the...

    In reading about automatic transmissions, more oil holes have been drilled in souped up models, but I do not recall if the oiling was pressurized or not.

    electric supercharger

    haha! yeah that must be right! I looked up some stuff to see how much power is made by 450CFM at 1PSI - it's 2HP. No way that little fan could do that even if it spins 100,000RPM. assume deuce uses 450CFM. These numbers below are for the power in the airflow (hydraulic power), not the power...

    electric supercharger

    look at this thing! claims to give 1PSI boost. http://www.electricsupercharger.com/ I'm very skeptical. It is very small, but not only that, I have a much larger electric vaneaxial fan that makes 250CFM@4.5" water. It takes 28VDC@25A 4.5" is only about 0.16PSI. according to this chart...

    Picked up a Fire Extinguisher today for my truck,

    I was told by a fireman that if you are concerned about your dry extinguisher's fill being dated, up-end it and beat it with a rubber mallet to knock the particles loose from how they settle. I'd like a CO2 extinguisher or a foam one. The dry ones leave a big mess.

    Why does the front axel have a thing on top of it?

    it's for the baby HEMTT.. I have thought about the possibility of mounting an air conditioner compressor via pulley to that thing. A torque bar mount from a rear axle could be the basis for a mount. Not sure if the drive flange would take a side load. Other uses: spare alternator drive, and of...

    MO OK AR KS TX rally

    I can do this month or next, as vacation builds up with time. If or once we reach a consensus, yeah let's try to get the place - or at least an agreement for no mass events that weekend and maybe rights to the RV/electricity area. If we can get on their internal calendar, maybe they won't...

    how to get title?

    I'd like to take care of it before the OK rally, if possible. The TX cops don't giveit a second look, not sure about OK and don't want a ticket.
