Otherwise it looks like their "trading post", likely costly for the value but convenient. I can eat up some MRE's and do some cooking.

If you disconnect the regulator, no harm should be done.

I used exterior latex house paint on mine. People said it looks good. OD green base coat, then rattled the cans according to paint by the numbers.

Hey be sure to take some pics and stuff along the way!

Re: RE: Re: RE: 6 Wheels vs. 10 WheelsthereT I have them, no issues on or off road, 6000 LBS in the bed. I was told by some that they would rub and by others that they would not. I run 65PSI. Maybe they would rub with less pressure. I had a flat on an inside rear the other day and drove on it...

Hope the leak is not that bad.

Houdel, I arrived at the 1.09 x speed figure by testing with a radar. It's the Titan T-Hawk 373 type of 11.00x20 NDT tires used in my cypherin'. One measurement I did take although imprecise was a gain of 5MPH at the same RPM as 9.00x20's 55MPH, making right at 60MPH with 11.00x20's. I used a...

I was not looking at the shift point correctly in my last post, so my mistake and I was not considering the 9.00x20 users who are the majority, so in the light of this, 0.66 looks better for the majority of applications and there is always 4th gear which the 11.00x20's are well accustomed to on...

that kind of damage but perhaps less severe and more un-noticed till it's too late can happen in uneven sand too. Don't ask.. I was able to fix it by pulling it back straight with a chain. Still has a crack around the vertical cylindrical bearing thingie that needs welded up.

As probably the BBS's cat person, I've heard them all !! Note the recipie in my sig; "Occasionally, fish heads and other fish scraps boiled with or without rice, and broken up into pieces of a suitable size with some of the liquor in which they have been boiled, will make a nice change and be...

The numbers fit with what I have stock 3053A and 11.00x20's and I feel like I know the behavior of the truck very well so I'll comment a little. For a deuce with a 3-ton highway load that is not souped up except a little bit on the pump, 0.71 makes alot of sense. At first glance, one could say...

Can you talk a friend into driving one of them? Tell ya what, people either love to drive them or hate to drive them. Sort of like owning cats.. no middle ground.

Mr. Bjorn, what would be the effect of throtting the intake (foot off the 'gas' of course) as a brake? Have you ever tried it?

if the fluid is on top of the axle, could it be from the slobber tube, or have I misread? When I first bought mine and drove it 1100 miles home, I stopped to check things and found a mess there. many people extend the tube down past the axle and let the road draft take away the fumes and little...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Watermark - Decision I believe most people were more surprised than angry. Personally I find watermarks annoying but the BBS can do what it wants with its copy of my uploaded image. If the user image is 550x413, then the image is pasted into a 640x480 blank image...

Thanks Gentlemen! I can check it more closely this weekend. If the light works off the pressure in the line after the switch, then I can troubleshoot from there on. The transfer has clean GL-5/MT1 85/95 with 3500 miles on the lube (last year's road trip plus a little). The truck's been run...

something like that in TX you would need about 24000 BTU.

I do not know how to recognize the sound of a 2-stroke diesel. Are there any MP3 fies comparing the two to the four?

If the set has not been used in a while, and has slip rings or brushes, you may be able to get it to produce by shooting some contact cleaner into the commutator while it is running. be careful though because it is flammable. I have some this on a couple of older slip-ring type AC generators...

I read the instructions in the manual. It's beyond my tools and skill level. Just for fun, what would a typical diesel shop or transmission shop charge for labor to put the gears in? (aside from R&R the tranny) I suppose they would need to do it as a rebuild, replacing what else was worn, in...
