Read this thread before you write off full hydraulic steering! All the stuff I did to my deuce, right here
If you plan on lifting your deuce 8" full hydraulic is the only way to go if you ask me. You eliminate the need for $!#t like 8" drop/lift steering arms and modified linkages. All of...
Thats crazy! I would never have thought you could use that much water. @Heath, sorry man, maybe I shouldn't be questioning you. It just sounded like alot of water to me. As far as boost and EGT's, I have yet to drive my Deuce with the new gauges. Automobile Multimeter for EGT, Boost, 24VDC...
On the highway, my deuce burns about 5 gal per hour. Your most likely not going to have the truck at WOT the whole time, but when you do its going to use alot more than 5 gph. Even if it was 10 gph at WOT, would you want to add as much water as you do fuel?
I looked at the snow performance website. They talk about their systems using about 7 gal in 500 miles when towing. I don't know what speed traveled, but if you say they drove at 56 mph for 500 miles, thats 8.928 hours. Divide 7 by 8.928 hours and thats .784 gal per hour. Id try a nozzle around...
Nice man! I cant wait to see how it works. Are you going to use a soda keg? Id toy around with this also, but Im away from home for another two months.
I say go for it as well. It would be cool to see something different. I don't see any reason it would be any more work than bobbing an M35. The only thing I'm not sure about it the flipping of the rear hubs. With that small block it would be super easy/cheep to mount a power steering pump. A...
I would definitely read the recovery threads! Thats what I did when I bought my first deuce. This has been gone over and over again and the info is out there. If you haven't already, be sure to educate yourself on the Gov Liquidators web site. They have a live chat if you have questions about...
I hope you got some bigger tire irons, a lot of dish soap and a friend willing to help you out. If you cant get it, Id take them to a nearby truck stop and save your back.
I have no idea. I was just going to start at about 2-4 gal per hour and adjust depending on my EGT's. I also thought about using my digital pyrometer to turn on/off the water through a 24volt solenoid.

I have been thinking of doing almost this same thing for quite a while. I have sourced spray nozzles through McMaster Carr, and was going to use an old Cornelius keg. (soda keg) Easy to fill, light weight and already have fittings for pressure and liquid draw. The hobs switches are a good idea.
He had bought the truck from another guy that says he got if from DRMO. I believe the man is just un knowing of what he had bought. The seller claims the front end is a D60. When he sends me some pics I'll know for sure.
So I'm about to score an M1008 and had noticed that the rear axle under it was not a full floating type like every other 5/4 Chevy I've seen. I think somebody might have gave it the old switch-a-roo. I have these same axles under my Jeep so I know what to look for on them.
My questions...
4k wouldn't be a bad deal at all really. Especialy if it has a title. You'll save time and money in the long run without haveing to go pick it up. I bought one a few weeks ago and drove it 1800 miles back to Colorado. Paid $2500 for a bare bones truck with a hard top. I'll have well over...
I don't have any experience with them, but looks like a great way to add power steering. One thing to keep in mind is the size of the cylinder you use on the linkage. To big of cylinder will result in very slow steering.
Thanks to all for your replys and imformation. Id hate to get stuck in the middle of Nebraska with a smoked turbo or something. This should be an interesting trip.
Thanks,

I found an M35 A2 that seems like its in great shape. 15000 miles, forgot how many hours. The guy had about 20 to choose from, this one being the cleanest one in the bunch. Im out in VA working and plan to drive it back to CO. Other than things like brakes, tire pressure, fluid levels...
