- Tank #1 could be pure diesel, Tank #2 could be WMO/WVO/biodiesel "Summer" tank. You never know when the "experimentalist" side of you will come out.
- Off-camber over rocks you don't have to worry about the fuel transferring to the "low-side" tank. Although if your fuel level is that low...
GL is fine. It keeps the Generation-Me, instant-gratification youths out of the loop. It ensures that only serious buyers are going to get the goods. If it's too complicated then the Generation-Me's will just go back to Twitter, Facebook, and Playstation while deciding to keep their slammed...
The rain cap is from Airflow. I'm sure it's just a generic flapper for agricultural equipment. The good thing is that even at a 68 degree angle it opens & closes without problems. If not, I would have had to modify the counterweight.
Exhaust Rain Cap 5"
Pittsburgh Power has a shorter...

900 RPM Idle Results
I bought a dB meter just for this project. Curiosity was killing me beforehand.
All of this is at 900 RPM idle. Also note, this is my "quiet" Deuce. The other truck is substantially louder!
Pics are self-explanatory. No muffler is on left. Mufflered is on the right...
My components:
Left to right are 3.5" ID to 4" ID adapter, 4" ID to 5" ID FTE Resonator, 5" OD short pipe, 5" ID Pittsburgh Power muffler, 5"OD 68 degree bend, 5" rain flap. Sorry for the shadows in pic.
Inside view of the resonator. It's a right-hand corkscrew like a sea shell...
Does anyone know what the tach ratio is & if the stock fitting is common on civilian vehicles?
I can't stand where the speedo & tach are located & hope to move them. This might require longer cables. Also, does anyone know if easier-to-view aftermarket gauges would accept the stock cable ends...
I'm not too concerned about looks. I just want to make the exhaust as quiet as possible. Here's what I ordered. Some of it is already here. The rest should arrive next week:
Quiet Performance Classic 51.5 universal stack muffler - Pittsburgh Power - High performance diesel

Wouldn't the cylinders both have to extend the full lenthth of the tie rod travel? I guess I don't quite understand how to set up a two cylinder assist. I saw an example of it on the PSC website. It mounted up high to two custom steer arms. But I don't see why it couldn't be mounted lower &...
Would you happen to have a link to the exact model? Is it a simple swap with the stock drag link? If it's a 20 minute pull-out-put-in type swap I'd gladly pay more.
I like Boyce's cylinders. I just want to run two cylinders mounted to the pumpkin under the differential's pinion input. From...
:ditto:
I've looked at those Boyce cylinders as well. I'm planning on hydro-assist bolting over the manual steering. Right now I'm thinking of two single-ended rams welded to the differential housing & bolted to either the tie rod or steering arm(s). The control valve is undecided. I like...
I ran two Unity Company "police" lights on an old Landcruiser. Mounts on the side of the windshield just like the po-po. Might require a bulb change for 24V.
