I agree. It usually takes 3 or more days depending how the heads are (do they need work) to do a head gasket. That's in our shop with nice lifting equipment and hoists and such !

Three phase is NOT the same as single phase. Single phase is 180 degrees apart and three phase is 90 degrees apart. Your motors will start to fry if you do this. If your a builder like you say then you must know the "NFPA" regulations. If you install your generators like you said then you would...

I worked as a metal fabricator for 10 years. I'm still pretty good with the "Oxy-Acetylene" torch. Thanks for all the kind comments !

Totally agree with Gerhard !

I really like my Mag-Tec differential cover I installed on the DANA HD70 rear. The heavy duty front steel cover I added has less oil but it will never get hurt !

You just have the worst luck with Hydraulic Heads ! Who are you buying them from ?

I installed them years ago, so I don't remember. I believe I bought them from "Summit Racing" .

Came factory that way.

Winch deck plate project "finished" !!! I still might do some more things to the bumper like add some storage, or a Vise, but for now it's done !

Good job Daybreak !

Finally got my "reverse U-bolt" kit installed today. What a pain to torque those nuts on the top of the springs instead of the bottom ! At least my overload air-bags still mount up OK.

Or burn your house down ! 3 phase is for commercial applications only.

Good for you Hank ! That's the kind of Spirit that makes America great ! The willingness to help out others in need ! Just so you know, I haven't forgotten about the Sound test in the deuce. I had to replace both side door windows also along with both front windows ! I cannot tell you how much I...

Hey back at you ! I try not to shop at NAPA especially the one in Woodinville ! They rape you on price ! If I have to go to NAPA I go to the Redmond one. They sell things for almost "Half" what Woodinville sells it for. The Woodinville store is an Independent operator so they can "jack-up" the...

Your doing a great job with that winch ! I plan on following to see your completed project.

Actually the older 1960's Loadstars used this system and the ram does power the drag-link. The lines and valve at the top of steering gear just provide fluid direction. It was a kind of safety feature. The steering gear was a standard unit so adding the power ram gave you the power steering, but...

Here's the diamond plate I'm making to cover the winch and provide a safe place to stand on. I have a few more holes to drill and tap out, then clean and prime the plate. After the primer is dry I will be painting on "Herculiner" on the top of the plate. Then I can stand safely on the bumper...

My best friend got a 1985 Chevy crewcab 1 ton back in 1990. It has a 454 also. That truck has been a real work-horse all these years and extremely fast ! The only draw-back is the 8 mpg . Fully loaded or empty, 8 mpg !

Better get some grease and oil on that rig or the rust monster will start to eat your truck ! Actually a good paint works too :wink: .

I agree. In fact the radiators used in IHC Loadstars is very close to the deuce radiator in size and shape.
