Be concerned when you DON'T see oil pressure :smile:

Also, I have never put a whole lot of trust into the factory gauges (especially the fuel), to get a true reading one would need to hook up a mechanical gauge at least temporarily to see what it reads.

See if you can find any numbers on your sending unit on the passenger side of the block, I've seen trucks that had mis-matched sending units and gauges. There are 60 psi units and 120 psi units, if the gauge does not match it will give a false reading. For example, if you have a 60 psi sending...

Check with a local bearing company, it is a very thin sleeve that fits on the shaft to make the bearing or bushing fit snug again. They are usually used when a shaft gets worn instead of replacing it, if the bushing or bearing is worn it's probably best just to replace it.

I would try to find a speedi-sleeve to make it fit better. That's weird, some of those that I have taken apart have roller bearings in them and some have bushings, not sure if it's a year thing or why they differ.

I hope your talking about the truck :mrgreen:

The lower back tat is always a great spot! When you get them (the tires) on post up some pics, or maybe test ride over to my place, I'll be around!

Don't be afraid of a little pain, a tattoo is right up your alley! The closed end lug nuts are the same as what you call the "thimble", I do appreciate the different look though!

Not sure that was all necessary, I just put the rim on like you have it then secure it on with the closed end lug nut. What issue were you referring to?

Did you get that truck from Andy? Nice lookin rig! I am in Blaine, MN just north of Minneapolis if you happen to need anything I may be able to offer some assistance.

No I mean runflat, not just a beadlock. I've got a handful of 395's with them in it. I think they came off an aluminum 10 hole rim with a larger center than the regular 5 ton rim. And I believe the rim is hub centered not lug centered.

I think they would be helpful if you got a flat to get to a good spot to change it, like off a major road. I don't think you would ruin your tire by driving on one at a slow speed, they have so much tire goop in them to keep them slippery that I think it would hold up just fine. I had to drive a...

I have some 395's that have runflats in them and was wondering if there is a market for them or should I just cut them to get them out? They need to come out because there is a lot of crud in the tire and it is too hard to clean with the runflat in it. Otherwise I am trying to come up with a...

The rim itself is not really a double beadlock unless you install the internal beadlock inside the tire, right? Nonetheless it looks great!

Depends on your DMV, I've got the "support out troops" plates on mine and I just renewed them last week.

Transfer case pto is the route I plan on going for converting a deuce to a dump, they can be expensive but I like pto driven over electric.

I'm heading there tomorrow but I can't round up another driver, otherwise you can store it at my place in Blaine for however long you want.

Tractors is right, if it's an A3 there is probably an internal beadlock so you really aren't separating the tire from the rim you are actually separating the rim half from the tire. Driving on it could wreck the beadlock. I bought a duckbill hammer and it was the best investment I made for tire...

If a gasket is sucking air wouldn't it also leak fuel?

That video is pretty cool to see how the heat transfers but heating lug nuts is producing no where near the heat of welding, especially welding at the bead. The tractor tires on my mud truck in my avatar had deuce centers welded in and we never even dismounted the tires. It was just the center...
