    Gonna try to buy a 5 ton..........

    I was hoping to get something in the 8-- series trucks. M818, M817, M813, M816, M815. What engine does the M52 and M54 have? Power steering? Thanks, Cam

    Sorry to ramble. I love all the MV stuff. I have been around them most of my life. Nothing is cooler than driving up to the store in a Duece to buy a pepsi........ One cousin is in a M1A1 and another is in an Apache. Thanks again.

    Thanks for all the help. I looked at the manifold to plan a pryo day. I see this over and over about the "hp" thing with the dyno. "HP" is relative to a specific dyno. We use the same dyno over and over to build a bike. If you switch to a different dyno, you have no reference for improvement...

    Good news, bad news......... Good news; . All the help here got me in and out with this project. I went right to the FDC and adjusted it in about 15 minutes. Bad news; . After reading all the info I could find here, you guys went from 1/16 of a turn to 8 turns. I went with 4 turns...

    I hear ya. You can imagine with me running a race shop how often I deal with this.... They also think my bikes are cheaters but won't protest my bike to find out.... I get everything out of my motorcycles....... http://www.mmracing.biz/DSCN0662resize.jpg

    Our motorcycle dyno cost $40,000. I would hate to see what a M35 dyno would cost......

    I was driving along at a safe following distance and he flew past me and cut me off and about wrecked us. I lost my temper and was going to invite him to pull over. It was dumb and I regreted it so I turned the truck mph down.

    I had to program my Chevy to turn off at 95mph because I caught myself chasing a guy on the interstate......... did I mention I was pulling my 40' trailer........ Now I only go 95mph....:oops:

    OK, you guys win. I will turn the fuel up a tad just to see a tad of the smoke and be happy with whatever my truck does. I don't want to mod this truck. It is too nice. I may build a modder with one of the other junk trucks. Thanks.

    Here is the deal. I am signed in as my 61 year old dad. I need to get my own log in, just too lazy....... I own a motorcycle race shop and race on asphalt at 187mph.... I don't leave anything stock....... but I pride myself in doing things right and only one time. I don't touch anything until I...

    I appreciate all the information. I guess I should have worded my questions a little better. I know a lot about engines and the workings of vehicles. I know how to be responsible to not damage an engine. The reason I turned my Chevy back down to 420-430 hp is I pull a 15,000 # trailer and it...

    OK, I got to look at the M35 good today. Remember, I just drove it home..... It has a Hercules Multifuel rated at 135 hp. It was new in 1991. It has 7000 miles on it. I would like to turn the fuel up a little, nothing major. I appreciate all the good feedback. I drove the truck to the store...
