Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thanks man, it's been a lot of fun. The hardest part for me too is just finding good legal spots to wheel this thing. I really haven't had a chance to see what it can really do yet myself. I've been trying to get in contact with some local off-roading clubs to get a few trips under my belt.Truck looks like its coming along really nicely...love the avatar by the way. I have 4" lift w/ 37's as well just haven't have the oppurtunity to flex out like that with the 37's on.
I'll be following along when you attack your snorkle to get ideas b/c that is on my list as well. Good luck and safe wheelin'
There's a temp sensor on the top of the motor towards the firewall on the driver's side. The glow plug controller card uses it to determine when and how long to fire the glow plugs. If you're having trouble with your glow plugs not cycling when they should this could be one reason. I don't have a pic right now but it has a black/purple and a yellow wire going to it. Just under the back of the air cleaner.What do you mean when you said "Replaced engine block temp sensor for GP controller" . . . I couldn't find that in the TM?? Any help would be appreciated![]()
Snorkel Update: I found a pic online of a guy that has a '86 K20 with a snorkel on it. I sent him a PM asking what he used and he said it is a Safari Snorkel for a Land Cruiser FJ80. It doesn't look like a totally perfect fit, but close enough for me. Really, the only difference was that there was a slightly larger gap between the top of the snorkel and the cab/windshield. It didn't look bad though. I'm more worried about function anyway. Since it's made of ABS I wonder if you couldn't just take a heat gun to it very carefully and "persuade" it in a little closer. For around $350 though, it might be best to leave well enough alone. I'd hate to spend that and then mess it up.
I think I paid about $800 for 4 tires, mounted and balanced on 16.5" HMMWVV wheels with the run-flats, that's with shipping from GA to MN. If you go to my first post in this thread there's a link. I think he sells just the tires for about $75 each if you already have a set of wheels these will fit.How much did you pay for those tires?
