Good luck with that....the difference between WA and ID is that WA loves "laws and control" over its "subjects", so they will take the time to scrutinize your Truck. Idaho doesn't like "over reaching laws" and the people (most) working at the various agencies dont think its critical to make life...
My m35a2c is registered as a pick up. It was easier for them on the paper work, and I only haul firewood in it. But they really could care less. In fact, the SD has one too. Mine's better.
If I lived on flat ground with a lot of deep mud, I'd get a couple sets of Bobcat wheel removable tracks, link them together and make them fit my truck. I don't think I need them for my area. I use a winch, and soon I'll have finish building a fixed V plow for the front, like the road graders have.
BoyceEquipment has the 11/20 tires that will fit all the way around for a good price. They are real reasonable on shipping too. But anything wider than 10/20 will not allow rear 3 ring chains to clear, so you'd have to run a single chain on the outside of each wheel when in deep snow/ice.
personally, I would drop the PTO winch for a 24vdc Sherpa winch if you work alone. Also the C turbo acts like a "deer whistle" and runs the game away from you, so you need a "D" turbo, so you can run them over and put them in your smoker. ( I made the turbo part up, but sounds good!)
I moved up here in 2011. I retired from a Oakland Ca company and also Stockton ca, but lived in the foothills for 20 years and commuted. So I know the difference between freedom and control. I loved Ca when it was "Reagan country".Some examples are.. No building "permits outside of town, which...
I got another load of firewood out of the forest. Its "green" birch, so its real heavy, and Im going to leave it there during the winter for traction instead of the 2K pound concrete blocks.
If you cannot find another tank, look into a older International truck tank like a 1600. Some of them had the foot step built into then, but you may be able to retrofit one in place and almost look original. Or build one to fit.
2 things.check the crank horizontal end play and make sure the lip of the seal is riding on a good surface. Then there is a problem I just encountered with a 460 Ford I rebuilt last month. The rear main seal (felpro) was manufactured .060 oversized and even being clocked 3/8 inch, poured oil...
Part of that technology is closer tolerances. My IR 1/2 impact won't remove them at 90psi, but my new compressor is capable of 175psi, and I run it at around 140. It zips them right off, but I dont have that pressure on the deuce, so I just use the breaker/cheater bar if Im just changing out the...
I have a HF floor jack now for 20 years that works great. this transmission jack is junk and its about 1 year old. I got a cement mixer from them that was (its dead now) junk too, but my grinder is finally starting to die after 10+ years, and thats pretty darn good for a grinder.......especially...
you need to run a temporary fuel pressure gauge into the cab. It sounds like you might be loosing fuel pressure after a while and eliminate the tank/pump as a suspect. Did you find any water in the separator filter on the frame front passenger side?
I got one of those HF transmission jacks......if you crawl out from under your truck to take a leak....it seems to think it should leak down too. Pile of junk.
There are no nearby shops around my area. Often a person has to plan for "un planned events" that require doing it themselves, or get to a phone reception area and call a mobile truck tire shop to replace it for them. Calling and paying for services is a plan too.
A shop engine hoist would help if you have a concrete slab, which I dont. A low profile floor jack would help if you jack the truck up 6 inches of clearance and roll the tire up onto it. they also sell a "wheel Caddy" that does it too, but is pricey. I have them on the front of my truck...
I seen some on CL Spokane. it was 7.50$ square foot. regular price they said is 12.50$. way too pricey. Personally, being more of a welder/fabricator, I prefer steel because its easy to repair and very strong. 2" tubing at 24"centers skinned with 16 gauge steel on the outside, and 1/8" wood...
Im not sure, but I think LMTV might have been referring to FRP-SIP panels, and not the ones at Home Depot for bathroom walls etc. The SIP panels are "cored", and have UV inhibiters in it. They have a "R value" of maybe r13, and need little frame work, if any at all. The West Epoxy System has...
