    tops off

    I'm debating taking the hard-top off my deuce for the summer. it'd be a good time to repaint it, as most of the paint on the top has come off :(

    Tire bead seating angle

    one other issue with radials on side-hills is their willingness to flex sideways. keeping the pressure up alleviates this problem, but also reduces flotation. Bias tire belting helps to prevent the sideways flexing (part of the reason they can be difficult to mount) so low pressures on...

    Tire size 14.5R20, what does it mean?

    i know this is an old thread, but could someone take a tape measure to a 14.5R20 XL and see how wide the tread actually is? I know with 11R20 XLs the tread itself is only about 8-9" wide (if i remember correctly, can measure again this evening). I measured the width from the furthest tread...

    M105 W/ A3 Rims and Tires

    looks good! If you don't mind saying, what was your source for the wheels/ tires? I'm looking for a set to go on the front of my A2 with XLs.

    Is there any interest in a cummins Allison swap

    in my limited experience, the MF engine can put up with quite a bit of water in the fuel too, especially if there's some gasoline + ethanol in the tank. Try that with a cummins :)

    Stranded at Subway - Deuce won't start

    As doghead said, pushing the starter button a few times can do the trick. after a while, the solenoid gets damaged from the arcing during starting, and has a hard time conducting electricity.

    Fuel Pump Failure Analysis

    i'm glad this thread came back to the top, because my pump motor is about to quit (getting the grinding brush noise), and i'd like to replace it with a stocker because the type of impeller it has looks like it could pump darn near anything.

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    If I'm not mistaken, the LDS-2 has a better balanced crank for higher rpm operation.

    will the rims and tires of a hummer fit on an m1008

    If I'm not mistaken, you'll also need 2" spacers, as the HMMWV wheels have a really deep offset that will interfere with the steering knuckle.

    LD Continental Multifuel Motor Questions

    First: HOLY CRAP! What a machine! more pics please :) Second: while not instant, the oil pressure definitely picks up faster (within 3 seconds) than with the factory setup. The difference would be even more noticeable in AK. Third: On a diesel, the amount of power you make is determined...

    M1009 body swap

    agreed on the frame rot. at the same time, you might be able to retrofit the 700r4 that the blazer might have to work with the 6.2

    LD Continental Multifuel Motor Questions

    The adapters you are looking for are called "spin on filter kits". There are numerous sources for them on here, just do a search for the above. Agreed on #2 with one caveat: if you add a turbo, it allows you to increase the amount of fuel you can put into the motor, which adds power.

    what type of suspention is under this truck

    Dunno about the carrier, but agreed with it starting life as a five-ton. Notice the lack of holes in the side engine cover for an intake.
