    An Aussie 5-ton RV conversion 'Mad Max Winnebago'

    Rob- go to www.craigslist.com and click on the Boise, Idaho link. Then look under RVs. You will find decent class C motorhomes for around $2,500-$6,000 that would work well for 6 months of wandering around the USA. I have heard of other folks from countries like Germany and yes, even the...

    Oil Sending Unit

    Neo, I had a '91 'Stang GT convertible once. Wish I still had it. Back in the day a friend supercharged his '90 'Stang GT and it ate rice burners for breakfast. But some of these new rice burners are impressive and might smoke the old 'Stangs. Don't worry about saying 'Cummings' instead of...

    818 Winch problems & Questions

    Good advice for all of us with winches on our trucks- "the drum clutch is left in the dis-engaged position and the drum lock engaged when not in use" should always be our mantra. And we should visually check it every time we get in our trucks to start them. What if some one walks past and grabs...

    My axle fell off on the way home!

    Al-frog, I do like your green JD machines! I've been buying, restoring, selling and hunting for the old 2-cylinder JD's since 1980, I've lost count of all the JD tractors I've had. Some were quite rare too! I'd bleed green if you cut me! Altho- I have been known to have an occassional M-M, IH...

    My axle fell off on the way home!

    Is that little dogbone issue what NASA calls 'an anomaly'?:? Welcome to the site, some of the members have over-charged testostrone syndrome which makes them lash out at times at others on the site. You just have to consider the source and blow it off. We have all been young and full of...

    Oil

    If Rotella is not available in your area or store where you shop, Chevron Dello 400 in 15/40 is designed for HD diesel apps as well. Depending on how you intend to drive it, in what conditions and temps, etc then you might do as some folks do and add a couple of quarts of Lucas oil stabilizer or...

    diesel with petrol

    Old time truck drivers used to add one quart of ATF fluid to every 40 gallons of straight diesel to help lube the pump. If you run a high ratio of gas with diesel, you will have to add more oil to help lube the pump since the gas dilutes the lubrication qualities of the oil additive and diesel...

    more speed?

    If you cannot live with the built-in design limits of the MVs, then it's time for another hobby. You can make small tweaks to the truck and gain small amounts of performance, or spend some real money and upgrade brakes, overdrive transmission, turn up the fuel pump, etc. Or maby just learn to...

    An Aussie 5-ton RV conversion 'Mad Max Winnebago'

    Rob, if you ever rethink that thought about flying me over there 'cuz it's cheaper then shipping the truck over here, let me know ok? Especially if you decide the idea has good merit!! I'd go for the deal if you change your mind!:D

    Need help!! Found the leak!!

    Did you replace the seal in the timing cover, it was hard to tell by the picture if it was 'tweaked, torn or twisted' by the broken edges going round and round inside of it.

    9:00 V 11:00 tires

    I left 900's dualed out on the back of my deuce, but went with a 900 14 ply radials with tubes on the front for better ride, load capacity, easier steering and safety since the original tires made me suspect of thier age and overall safe condition for use as steer tires. The truck rode and...

    An Aussie 5-ton RV conversion 'Mad Max Winnebago'

    Rob, when you come over to the states you won't be bringing your truck along too will you? Sure would be nice to see it in person, but the cost of shipping it over might be a bit much!

    Has Anyone Finished Their M820 RV?

    A U-haul box on a 5 ton or even a deuce makes sense. Of course you will have more load capability with the 5-ton. I just wish the 5-ton with the 250 Cummins would do better with fuel mileage. And with a bulky, heavy RV unit on the back, the mileage will suffer even more. I'm figuring at least $1...
