    more questions & ideas related to fording kits

    Let's be realistic here.... what should we expect as a normal" maximum? 50 inches of water? That is having the transmission tunnel already under water, running on 43" tires. The internal pressure needed at axle height or inside the diffs to compensate for this is little over 1psi, not more...

    Cummins 6BT to Allison

    Speaking of med. sized truck 5.9 BT6s for (military) application I have seen a few of the low-outputs, (first generation, rotary pump, 97KW and 108KW vesions) coming from factory with the SAE#3 pattern bell-housing.

    flipping the center-sections in riveted wheels

    I was curious about the final relative position, front wheels to fenders and rears to bed... after welding the center to the outer edge of the rim, backspace would be reduced from original 10.5" down to 6". Not that bad... G.

    Making your own cargo bows

    Instead of using plywood I have done this with Eucaliptus ("Eucaliptus-Grandis", most common wood here, very resistant long fibers, lightweight): 5 strips cut from a solid beam, each 3/16" thick, 2 3/8" wide, 6'4" long, glued together with industrial grade PU adhesive. G.

    running a multi (LDT) w/o fan and or radiator

    Pardon........if coolant was completely drained at least the heads WILL get "warm" relatively fast...... and expand differently.... Why take a risk if the solution is so easy and inexpensive?:? G.

    replacing transfer-case seals

    Yes, somehow you missed to re-install that washer... :? (see diagram, #27) Plenty of lube and patience...!:razz: Seriously, a bit of good synthetic, water resistant grease OUTSIDE the seal will also help prevent corrosion of the companion flange seal surface. G.

    Brake wheel cylinder AH HA!

    Even if you had easy access to DOT5...... AND if you never would drive through water over the axles ....AND, AND ..... there is no guaranty that the brake fluid INSIDE the cups will keep the piston completely lubed all around since travel is minimal when brake shoes are correctly adjusted ...
