We're getting the Truck-Lite LED head lights and the Truck-Lite Auxiliary LED spot lights mixed in with this blog about headlights. I included a picture of my truck with both installed. The info for the spot lights can be found here...
That's a NO-GO ghost rider, Jon Hope from Western Filters confirmed via email that no matter how many you order, it's the $50-60 EACH for shipping from AU. I emailed back to confirm if it was possible to put say (4) inside (1) box and he confirmed the shipping would be the same, $200-240. I...
Every truck I've owned I've had a spray in bed liner. My choice has been Linex for my last 3 trucks. Now that I've caught the MV bug, I don't want to pay someone else to do what I could do. After a LOT of reading other forums and watching hours of YouTube videos. I'm switching to Raptor Liner...
Using 7" Round Truck-Lite headlights for CUCV
I was just cleaning out my deuce and came across a spare set of the 7" Truck Lite LED headlights. I have them on my deuce and my 5 Ton. I started thinking why not put them on my M1009, I'd have to look back at which years, but Chevy had the 7"...
Personally, I LOVE powder coat. I ordered a home Powder Coat gun from Summit Racing. I buy the powder coat from Harbor Freight for a few dollars. Then I wait for the wife to go to work, and I turn on the oven, powder coat 450 degrees for 45 minutes. She's never caught on I'm using the kitchen...
Same here with my teen daughter, the only one that shares my love are my sons. Both the wife and daughter hate em. When I get my 5-Ton home, I'm going to "honk" on the train horn when I'm pulling in... she's going to love that, I'm going to make sure to mount my GoPro cameras to catch the...
It's still Greeek to me also :) I never had a turbo or big trucks till the last 9 months. I just kept reading and rereading. I know others will fuss, but I read where a diesel mechanic said to turn the fuel nut (engine running)till you see black smoke coming from the exhuast... That didn't seem...

Ford Mechanic, I could ship you a "chinese knock off" that I just won off of ebay (haven't paid for it yet) if you're willing to look at making something out of metal. I would rather have something made out of metal myself, so if you're happy with what you come up with. I might ask...
I wonder if the shipping would be less for an order of a couple of these? They're made out of plastic, shipping weight should be low. Maybe, splitting the shipping between several members. Then that member could flat rate them to others. Come this 20th, I'm ordering a few, regardless. I want...
I even considered this, seemed protected from branches and leaves, front still open, made from stainless... 4", would stab easily into existing snorkle tube.

I was talking about this to a guy I work with, come to find out his brother works in AU. :) So, I'm going to go ahead and make the order for maybe 2-3 and see what happens
All I did was turn up the fuel, I was just able to monitor the temp and boost with the new VDO gauges via the column pod from peashooter. I like the VDO gauges, mounted on the column, they're right there in front of you. I want like to add a Donaldson Ram Air Snorkle, but havent found a US...
OMG, what a difference! I took her for a spin after work, plenty of hills where we're currently drilling (Mandaree, ND). I don't see plums of black smoke, and my temps are still lower then the max. I'm going to leave it for now, until I get a ram air to give her a little more air. I wish this...
just came across the other thread, http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?87196-m35a2-Ram-Air-Snorkel
THIS ONE CAN BE DELETED, covering the same information...
Fredo, did you go with a stock new filter or an aftermarket? I'm about to start my homework on picking a replacement air filter.
I've turned up my fuel, installed my boost and EGT gauges via my column pod (thank you Peashooter). Ready to take her for a spin...
I came across Filtermaxx...
I followed the link from the Donaldson website on vendors in the US. I typed in my address and the site listed several vendors near the house that I could order from. One of the vendors was a Peterbilt dealership, they quoted me $174.66 with a 3 day shipping. I liked the $80 US range I saw on...
