    Muffler installed

    Get some paint made for either headers or BBQ grills. Both should handle AT LEAST 1200 - 1500 degrees. The BBQ paint only has a few colors while the header paint has a couple of dozen. I'm going to paint mine flat black, as that paint is available everywhere. And it looks like it belongs...

    What is this? and thanks Djfreema

    Darn, and I was SO CLOSE. Well, ok, not THAT close. The temp sensor is up near the front. You can actually see it in the photo. DARN.

    What is this? and thanks Djfreema

    OH,OH, I KNOW THIS ONE! At least in my truck, it's the temperature sensor. The wire should go back into the cab. I do believe that there is only one wire and one connection of that wire. I can't believe it! I got one finally. ER, I think I did... jim

    wood-gas generator

    That last line kinda scares me. Steering problems? Bad tires? Mine holds straight and narrow. Sometimes she wallows a little when I go places that big rigs go, cause the pavement has two furrows from all the weight that's been before me. But other than that, rock steady. And this is REALLY...

    THIS is a great place to post all alternatives

    THX for putting this one up. I guess someone's gonna have to move all Bjorns posts on biodiesel. And there are several other posts that probably cover this type of stuff that should also be moved over here. I LOVE THIS!!! Thx to all you mods! jim

    COOL! I found a really goood mix for WVO fuel

    WVO = waste vegetable oil OR the oil that has been used by a resturant to fry things in. The two places I'm going to are a BBQ resturant. They fry fish, french fries and hush puppies in theirs and that's it. SO it's fairly clean as most WVO goes. Or at least that's the hope. We will see.

    COOL! I found a really goood mix for WVO fuel

    Hey DOC, I've got a guy who owns two resturants and uses about 200 gallons of WVO a week. I talked to the manager of one store and he said we could have it. One of the owners is on vacation and I missed the other by about ten minutes. But even the assistant manager agrees that they have to...

    Banks Turbo Install

    I had an 88 Suburban with the 6.2 and the Banks kit installed. It WAS an excellent way to go. I am currently thinking about replacing my 91 Suburban with an M1009. Then I'll consider some kind of Banks kit. Or just build my own. Not sure yet. I too would love to see some pictures of your...

    xyzzy, Found the guy here in Denver who is supposed to do this type of work. His 'card' says "Best quality, Best Prices" and "R&R service available". Contact info is AES Automotive Exchange & Supply 303-937-1700 8 - 5 Mon - Fri 8 - 2 Saturday Starters - Alternators - new quality clutch...

    Idea for super singles - just flip one axle's hubs?

    Bob, I've been over to where Randy works and seen his truck. His setup is stellar. I particularly like his rear wheel/tire combo. The fronts are more of a highway tire, which is probably a better idea, but I just love the LUGS! Too many years as an off roader. Nothing severe. Well, three...

    New CUCV, now stuck at the grocery store :)

    I'm with Ida34. When you hit turn the key, the car SHOULD start. No one is arguing that. And I'd bet money the the 'hit with a hammer' is NOT a consistent way to start your truck. BUT if it gets you home where YOU CAN fix this problem with all the tools at hand, that gets filed in the back...

    About our transmission...

    Gerhard, Thx bud. I have always figured it was something like that. I'm a visual kind of guy. Now to REALLY screw this up 'gear ratio' wise. What happens to those ratios when you go with Super Singles? Do they go up or go down? For example, I'm about to go with 275 80R 22.5's which are...

    About our transmission...

    WHEW!! Thx guys. I DO HAVE the data plate with the shift pattern and actually LIKE having the 4th gear at bottom right. and fifth top right! It makes it unique enough that people go "HUH" when they look at that data plate with the shift pattern. So, all is as it should be in my world. I did...

    Finally got a Deuce!!!

    bigburb, WELCOME! I love your pix of the deuce. That's a stunning paint job. I don't believe I've seen it before. So, did that driver take your parking place??

    About our transmission...

    clinto, While I followed what you said, NOW I am very, very confused. IF 5th gear is 1:1 (which I AM NOT arguing) what does it do to drive ratio? If 4th gear is .78:1 then I should be doing my highway driving in 4th? I AM SO CONFUSED and all I want to do is understand it. I am NOT an...

    New CUCV, now stuck at the grocery store :)

    xyzzy, There is a company here in Denver that rebuilds them for the military. They just send you a rebuilt one as soon as they get yours. I can't find the card the guy gave me, but I will keep looking. I will also look through the yellow pages also, because I think he said it was in their...

    About our transmission...

    clinto, Not arguing but am now very confused. I thought 4th gear was 1:1 and 5th was .73:1 (.78:1?). So what am I missing? Sorry for the bother, but I just love this kind of stuff. jim
