FYI, he made it successfully. very little problems. First day he ran out of fuel. I guess fuel gauge started to malfunction near dallas, and he was going by mileage, and ran out as he was exiting. a good ole boy in a diesel drug him to the gas station. Then he had an air line come off...

that is kind of mine and his project. No he is not on the sight. I am the techy one. I do all the posting and scheduling. if any of you are up here in the area you will meet us at the meets and events around here... we traded one of the jeeps (73 cj5) that I picked up for him for his...

we are actually from milan... if you are from just south of there you know where that is. Thats where I live now. probably moving to dexter or chelsea in the near future. Anyway, I started in milan, and graduated (spent 7th through 12th) in houghton lake where we moved to "get away from the...

its legal in texas. Not sure about the rest of the way. and he has had some convo's with cops, and all the convo's have been "thanks for your service. AWESOME military vehicles, and good luck on the rest of your trip". no questions of legality or anything. Most cops wont harass him, BUT it...

All new canvas. New radiator. Fresher rubber. Ran short on paint. But its coming along.

Thanks, good idea. 35 to Dallas then heading to Texarkana on 30 then to Memphis then up to eastern Kentucky then through Louisville to Cincinnati then straight up from there. I am pretty sure that's what he's planning on doing. If he has troubles I will post up on here. Thanks guys

Can we run this without a tstat? We are thinking this maybe the prob but can't get one by tomorrow. Can we safely run without it?

he said he took the tstat out and boiled it in water and watched stage one open at 165 and stage two at 180 or something like that just like it said on here it was supposed to do... sorry forgot to update that. I told him to take tstat out but apparently you cant run them without a tstat...

That's what I think. I struggle to think its bad water pumps. but I dont know if these are aluminum or steel or if corroding is an issue for them or not. never had one apart. in my experience if a pump isnt leaking or making noise its good. as bearings "usually" go before fins deteriorate.

Yeah that is what i told him to do. he told me that its sitting closer to 230. he thinks its the water pump as he feels it has "lack of flow" the truck has 27k on it. hes trying to decide if its work trying to drive accross country like that. everything is new. coolant/radiator etc. ill...

ok, my dad has our duece in texas right now and is planning to move to michigan (using it to haul stuff and tow his pickup and willys). like tomorrow. ANYWAY. he changed the radiator, and flushed the engine, and put all new gauges in it (as most were aftermarket). he ordered some gauges...

I knew immediatly when reading the email what happened. Then I saw your response to the email saying people were chewing you out for it?! REALLY? whoever it was that was "ripping you a new one" needs to get over themselves and calm down... Things in the IT world arent perfect and never...
