I'm glad I have a little alzheimer's because I forgot their BS before I got to the end.

Helloooo, kbush. Your last response was decent and you presented your case & facts in a positive style. Yeah I can see where the state did drop the hammer on you quite heavily. Elsewhere on here someone did point out a fact that insurance operates differently in each state. No, I did not lie to...

You complained that you can't get insurance on the truck when the actual problem is you. You complained that you spent alot of money on your truck and now you can't drive it because noone wants to insure a high risk person such as yourself. Young male under 25 yrs, are you single? You earned...

Don't WAA-WAA because you can't drive it. Were you a better driver with a few in you? Be happy you only lost the ability to drive a heavy truck and you don't have to live with the guilt of maiming or killing somebody. You must have been driving or acting erratic enough to be cited for the...

The DWAI that you mentioned, is it safe to assume it was some some sort of a drinking & driving offense? If it was it will be hard to get insurance on a large truck for 2-3 years. I'm afraid that if this is the case, you shot your ownself in the foot on this one. We are not saints on here but...

There is an allen plug on top, remove it and there is an adjustment screw underneath. Adjust until you have 28 volts.

It's a crapshoot when dealing with gov't surplus/obsolete merchandise. I've gotten diamonds and lumps of coal. There are no guarantees that a truck you look at today will be as worthy when you pick it up 4 to 6weeks later after an EUC clears. When you bid at an auction, it is where is, as is...

Another option that is less costly is to get an open carrier and install an "lunchbox" locker. At this time I have a Powertrax Lock Right in a S-10 with a 350/350 combo with 3.08 gears and it has'nt failed me yet.

GovLoc 80's are notorious for being weak and have a high failure rate when subjected to hard use. The carrier is light on material. Finding a 12 bolt will not be easy, then there is the possibility of having to do a complete overhaul on it when you do find it. 2 years ago I done an 8.5 like you...

2k for a truck that makes you happy? It seems that you have looked at it closely and have taken it for a ride. Sure they go for less on GL but you don't get to test drive and in a lot of cases you usually are not close enough to look them over first. With the truck you are looking over you won't...

Fire & boobies. Yup, next video needs more of these items.

I guess you are so freakin' smart and such a genius that other people's opinions and suggestions are "completely ignorant" or "have not properly chosen". Then you suggest the use of headers when the point was to keep costs down and to utilize the exhaust manifolds to achieve a "truck tone" not a...

Just as an added side note, I have been contemplating doing a 454/400 swap into one of the Deuces I own. This would be for the more power and lighter weight. The truck I will do this to has a new out of the can motor in it which will better serve me in my daily driver. Anybody else have a...

I have used the large round truck mufflers with 2 1/2" inlet & 2 1/2" outlet behind 460 Fords. They offered a mellow tone when the throttle was applied in moderation yet there was good flow and a deep rumble when you gassed on it. A helpful muffler shop would be the best option here. My own...

But as an added note, I have all three plates, A M General, Kaiser-Jeep, & General Products Division. The GPD plates in my own situations have been attached to total rebuild trucks.
