    TornagdGT's M931A2 "Miss Ava Lynn" Mods and Repairs

    I have seen a 1101 on a Bobed Deuce and like it, on a Bobed 5-ton I think some small fender flairs would make it look about right. you would want to leave the spare tire in place and put it behind that. on a 6x6 you should fill in the tire opening or it would just look silly.

    I wanted the extra fuel tank to fit between the tire rack and cab and still allow for using the bed rails bows and cover... If I was not using the extra Fuel Tank I would of left it further forward..

    A little update I have been very busy with work, but took a little step back and reinstalled the 5th wheel hitch for a one time run to pick my new trailer... The truck ran well for the 300+ Mile round trip and the new exhaust didn't get to hot... some of the original paint flaked off the 90...

    Both and all the above.. I wanted to protect the fuel lines/vents on the top of the tank, they make a good step to go from the cab to the bed, they allow a good spot to add tools/boxes/Fuel-Water Jerry Cans between bed and cab/ect. and I like the way they look...

    I have had the same problem and if you crack open the drain on the fuel filter while it is running you will get some fizz/foam Air out, also I have cracked open the return line on the pump (the line on the front of the pump closes to the timing cover) and the line just above the fuel filter just...
