    Desert Storm water carrier?

    Looks like they are just empty's and they moved them outside and hung them with "Bungee Cords" .

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I found something interesting while cleaning my "FDC" today. There is a groove cut in the shaft hole for the piston that looks like it will fit an 'O' ring ! I measured this cut-out and it is 0.290" . That is 0.040" over the shaft size of 0.250" (1/4") . According to the "Parker" catalog the 'O'...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Hey quite playing with my hair ! Also I like Dan Fogelberg ! I was at his last concert here in Seattle before he died. Oh by the way sent you a PM.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    That's the whole reason for adding a Turbo, increasing the fuel. You can increase fuel but without the air to burn your just wasting fuel. So you add a Turbo and increase the fuel but you need the "pyrometer" to check the exhaust to make sure you haven't gone to far. I just assumed you knew that.

    What is going on with this Flexplate? Out of round and bent? Yikes...

    No, I think "don't screw it up" just about covers it !

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    Not the way I apply it ! I like to make sure "everything" gets a good coating.

    Answer to the age old question-m35a2

    By using this particle type of shut-off valve I was able to keep the hose tight to the firewall and I didn't have to buy two more brass 90 degree fittings. Plus it has a "nylon" insert and the valve is made of "brass" so no rust issues.

    Air stop light switch issue

    Having been in a truck rollover I can say your being "wise" ! Now whenever I'm in a vehicle and the driver says "it's OK, it always shimmying like this when I go this fast" I ask to get out !

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Yes the "Holset" HX35 would be an improvement. In fact a big improvement ! I would install a "pyrometer" first before you changed the "Turbo" though. Don't want to melt your pistons !

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I found out something today. The stamped metal housing for the gear on the bottom of the Hydraulic Head is not needed to run the unit. It is just there to hold the gear and shaft in place until it is installed into the pump housing. I also installed all the little side plugs and the 12 point...

    m35a2 door swap

    Totally agree here about "pounding on the hinges. That metal is not that thick where the hinges attach to the body so if you start pounding on it you will most likely damage the cab door frame. Just unbolt the hinges and take the whole door off. Then remove the hinges and take them to a vise and...

    brake woes

    There is a situation that can happen if your brake linkage is out of adjustment. The rod that pushes into the master cylinder can "jam" against the "lip" of the master cylinder giving you a feel of rock hard brakes but actually you will have no brakes at all. To inspect for this pull back the...

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    OK I see that now. I still would have reservations using this one though. You "must" buy heavy wall brass connectors or they will "split" when you crank down on the connector. As far as the "NO-OX-IDE" goes, I love the stuff ! I have about a half gallon jug I bought a while back.

    What is going on with this Flexplate? Out of round and bent? Yikes...

    You won't know for sure until you remove the transmission. I still believe they never got it into the crankshaft correctly, or it is the wrong torque converter and will not fit the pilot hole.

    Here's some of my aux passenger side heater. The other one is the stock heater.

    I believe it has to do with the seatbelt upgrade.

    Curt receiver hitch for the Deuce, 18,000lb/1,800lb

    That is funny. I'm pretty sure mine said it was the 15400 model. It is the 2.5" hitch though. Since I painted over everything I don't have the model number available anymore. I wanted the 2.5" hitch since I had to drop the ball down to tow my trailer and I liked the beefy adapter for the 2.5" .
