The only reason I'm thinking of doing 100% braid is cost and ease of installation. The lines will be free, so I'll give them a shot. Less connectors, no bending of tubes. Aviation grade hydraulic line is spec'ed to swell less than 1%. They are filled with kevlar weave and then wrapped in...

Understood Chuck, thank you. I am just going to "assume" that these hoses will out perform anything designed for the road since they were designed for the flight control hydraulic system of a helicopter and the specs I have found far out perform anything designed for the road. I'd use somebody...

Thanks guys, thats what I figured.

I have driven 4x4 trucks my whole life, but never anything all that extreme as far as offroading, and always in stock pick up trucks. I'm a hunter mostly, the 4 wheeling just comes with the that trade. I have some questions concerning lock out hubs, vs lockers. I know the lockers lock the...

I have a guy that does hydraulic work and said he'll fabricate up full stainless steel braided lines for my deuce. I checked the specs and they are 6000 psi brake lines. also, I checked the stretch factor on those and its only 1.7%. I am going to have him make me a full set when I switch over...

A built 4bt would be perfect for a deuce that spent most of its time offroad. We here on SS have a habit of poo pooing ideas that go against the embodiment of what a deuce should be...ie, power windows, modern engines, heated seats...that kinda thing. A duramax would make a fine engine, and...

steam. fill your bed with coal. THAT would be different. otherwise...b series cummins...or better yet, leave it with the multi.

I guess nothing happens?

a. Serial Number (VIN number): 012530981 b. Registration Number: NK0FR5 c. NSN without dashes: 2320000771617 d. Where you bought it: Truck came from Wisconsin, I was told? e. Bumper numbers: None legible DTID...

Thats another problem I've run into, I want to find a large vacuum assist for 4 wheel discs, but still use my drums. I figure between a dual diaphragm booster and using one meant for discs will help create the pressure to the wheel cylinders while still using drums from a larger system at the...

I hear you about the psi...however, almost all the other ones I looked at were in inches of mercury, not water, and not mm. I was just linking those for examples, not the ones I found to actually use. 22-24"hg seems about the standard in hot rod vacuum pumps. I actually found two relatively...

I'd love to be able to use hydroboost, but I have no idea where I'll mount the pump itself, since the slot above my generator is already spoken for. any ideas?

chvss65: I spent the first 25 years of my life in Earlville, IL...went to school in Ottawa for awhile...fire fighter in streator before I joined the army. Is the mall in peru still open? haha

Here's an update on my project. A bobbed, quadcab, shortbed deuce. It has 4 new hemmt wheels, 395's, a new cab welded in and mounted. To do list: Tomorrow I'm finishing up the fenders, the 20th I get a new hard top to stretch, (mine had a gun ring installed and I didn't want to ruin it)...

You wont find anything but 60hz in the USA, the voltage may vary, but it'll usually always be 60hz. One possible exception to this is aviation generators that will run at 400hz.

is vacuum measured in inches of water or mercury? thought it was Hg? Just saying that your vacuum might be even great than previously thought.

Anyone have any idea what the largest vehicle on the road to use vacuum boost is? I want vacuum, not hydro for ease of installation. A lot of diesel are hyro because diesels dont normal pull a decent vacuum. BUT, I am going to install a separate vacuum pump. all I need to do now is find out...

Enterprise, AL here too.

Would have loved to have come up, but I didn't know about it until now. Wife has me going to the peanut festival tomorrow...hooray...

Thats a bad ass picture. Static electricity at the range of 30,000 volts is pretty cool eh? ;)
