Welcome Snoop, I am one of the ones from that post that was referenced on the 838. Feel free to check them out. One thing you have to check is if you have any exhaust leaks. I would bet that the manifold is leaking where it meets the head and maybe at the junction with the exhaust pipe. If it is...

You are planning on three days overall right? Have a safe trip, I am in NJ so not able to be of assistance. Rick

I spent two weeks with Granville and SuperDawg II I think it was. The man was a genius when it came to wilderness survival both with and without a vehicle. His off road fixes are legendary. He was also the most generous individual alive, if he had it and you needed it then it was yours. I...

I bet that put a dent in the wallet!

Well Skinney, let me know when you have been wheeling for 40 plus years. Toyotas were not exactly popular or even in the US in the 60's and I was going many hundreds of miles into the wilderness. You talk like you are the most knowledgeable man in the universe when it comes to off roading, you...

Which sound and sight? The hood or the wife's reaction?:-P

You really do not need 6TL's unless the cable length will not allow for smaller batteries. Any of the larger pick-up truck batteries will work fine. The 6 TL does not have any more cranking amps than a group 27, it does have a ton of reserve power for leaving lights on and for sitting for long...

I have a 98 Dodge that I bought a couple of years ago. No idea if the recall was done. Did it cover the 98? Rick

At one time not long ago the Everstart batteries ( Wal-Mart ) were the top rated batteries. I have always had good service from them. Rick

Gets your attention doesn't it?:shock::shock::shock: I don't know about a deuce but in a jeep it is a BIG air brake too. Slowed me down fast enough that the guy behind me rear ended me before I even had a chance ti hit the brake! No real damage and we both got a laugh out of it along with the...

By the time the scums lawyer gets done plea bargaining he will be out in two years at the most. Go after the yard and him both. I will bet he did not cut that up any at all. Just dropped it and ran straight to the yard with it. Why waste gas and acetylene if you don't have to? The yard could see...

A friend of mine ha a M 151 soda blasted and it came out real nice and pretty. Problem is it was too pretty! Too smooth, had the sand the entire vehicle so the paint would grab. That was verified by the fact that places we did not sand peeled. Rick

Definitely a bad battery, did you have any charging lights on when it was running? If not then the alternators are good and it is just a bad battery. Replace both. Rick

Data plate changes on these is common. I have a 67 plate on my 64. If it gets you a title you take it! Rick

If you have the distribution box then you should have earlier than 1967. Rick

But at what price? How much is a five ton going for now? plus the sleeper plus the fabrication? Five kids under 7 years! WOW. I cannot fathom that camping trip!

NEVER run the vehicle with the batteries disconnected! You will be buying a voltage regulator, alternator and probably a lot of other electrical items. Without the batteries to absorb the voltage spikes you can easily put over a hundred volt spike into the system. At which point you will lose...

BUT.......................................... he has FIVE kids! Plus he and his wife. And I am guessing she wants A/C, Smooth and quiet ride and creature comforts. Actually after five kids I can be **** sure she wants quiet and creature comforts!:roll::whistle: Rick

One dead cell in the battery will do exactly that. Have you checked the acid levels lately? How old are the batteries? If they are more than 4 years old then replace them. Rick
