I would think that a welded diff in the front of a deuce, when engaged off road would be undrivable. It would not steer. This is not a 2,000 lb. Jeep you are talking about here. And I already know what your next question will be, "well what if I only engage one side?" That would be fine until...

Yup, when it knocks your camera down that is a Detroit locker slip/lock.:mrgreen:

I think a lot of you guys really need to learn how differentials work. The key word here is the name, DIFFERENTIAL! An open rear splits the torque evenly between the two wheels up to the point where one wheel loses traction and at that point all of the torque goes to the wheel with the least...

I think you would be buying a LOT of tires!

Here are the arrangements that were provided me by his sister. First, on behalf of the family, let me express how touched we have been at the kind and thoughtful words, memories, and stories you have sent about my brother. I don't know how to convey how comforting and wonderful all the...

I doubt that a lot of you would know Top since he did not post on here a lot and he was more into M-151's and modell aircraft than he was trucks. I did a search for him on here and did see that he posted here but I did not check every one to see what forums. Geoffrey "GR" Webster, AKA Toptiger...

We have lost another member here and on a couple of the M-151 forums. Toptiger May he rest in peace. He passed away from cancer at home in France with his family at his side at 3:00 pm our time this afternoon. Rick

John, That is more than I have heard you say in five years! Thanks for the history.

That is why I added the "alternative fuel' in there. I think what a lot of people are calling bio-diesel is actually just veggie oil mixed with diesel or even WMO mixed with diesel. Which is FAR from BIO by the way.

I think once you get a couple warmer days to slosh stuff around and move it through you will be alright. I never saw a 6.2 make any more power on bio or any other alternative fuel, always less and they really could not afford to make less. I guess if you are running many thousands of miles you...

From our all time resident M-151 expert, Ken the Mutt guru in England. Hello Rick, The first M151 vehicles were built under two contracts with Ford Motor Co. As you already know, Ford started work on the "new 1/4-ton" in 1952, resulting in the M151 being classified for production in...

You are correct on the body makers and I stand corrected on the previous post. I will have to confer with Ken in England and get some data on the numbers of vehicles that each of these companies made. I am an old fart and still don't know it all.:-D

Willys never made the 151, the early 151's were all made by Ford and Kaiser. Not Kaiser-Jeep. The 151 has no affiliation with the Jeep, hence the horizontal grill. It was made that way due to a patent by Jeep on the vertical grille. Ford was the main supplier of the 151 with some built by Kaiser...

Contrary to popular belief not all diesel engines will run good on bio-diesel. Small truck diesels are designed for regular diesel fuel and there is little room for error there. The dynamics are totally different on a large engine. I have never really heard all that much good from running bio in...

Angus, you may be right, I am tired and grumpy. The parades around my area just have not been much to look at anymore and that just might spice it up. Forget I even mentioned it.:confused: Rick

The vet's parade may be pushing it. The last thing a vet wants to see at a remembrance is a hot rodded vehicle that he may have flashbacks from. Keep the parade vehicles in stock form. Don't get me wrong, I love that truck, I am not crazy about bobbers but I am also a Vietnam vet and I know what...

That is joking, not scolding. I would suggest that with only five posts that you hang around for a while and learn the language before posting something like that.

Because of the volume of engines you are buying I am sure you are buying on contract. They can sell them to you a little cheaper because they know they will sell, say, 100 engines guaranteed. They do not advertise the better lines of engines because they are the ones that go to their contract...

It is entirely possible thatd due to the large volume that you buy you get engines from a different batch, a higher grade let's say, than the average guy on the street. I am guessing that same engine would cost more than what is offered normally. Every company has their top line and their...

There is also a filter at the inlet to the injection pump. It should never get clogged because of the regular filter but I have had it happen. If you continue to get air replace all of the rubber lines whether they look bad or not, actually they should be replaced anyway if it has never been...
