    Trailer Identification

    Well that 5th wheel sits at the same height as the truck. So a 5th wheel hitch in the bed + no siderails would make a fairly sturdy connection w/o the dolly. Thanks for the info. Future project #32,347 added to the list :-D

    Trailer Identification

    Oh that's a dolly? Darned I thought it was integrated into the trailer. I've always wanted to custom build an off-road motor home or travel trailer for BFE camping. Does the dolly make it "off roadable"?

    Oil Additives...

    I don't know about big diesel engines, but I'll tell you that Slick 50 is AMAZING in average vehicles. I used to own an Isuzu & put in a quart of Slick 50 right after a good break-in, about 13k miles. I tore the engine apart at 160K miles because of a cylinder head problem. The crank bearings...

    My Bobbed Deuce is almost done

    Thanks, I assume the BA15s base fits both front & rear. You wouldn't happen to have a photo of them in action would you? It would be interesting to see one tail light stock & the other LED at night to compare them :-D

    My Bobbed Deuce is almost done

    Those stock tail lights are awfully dim. My wife followed me 600 miles home when I bought the truck. She said she could barely see the lights. And she was right behind me! But I agree, they want WAY too much money for the LED versions. Do you have hyperlinks for your LED bulb source?

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    Here in the Nevada desert you can go from rocks to gravel to sand to fine silt to slippery shale & even to mud & snow in the mountains. You can even throw in the occasional unexpected flash flood to the mix. I've been four-wheeling around here for twenty + years & have had "oh poop" moments in...

    Flushing Hydraulics

    These are all good points. I think I'm going to synthesize everyone's suggestions. I'll clean the outside of the parts & the inside of the hoses with gas to get most of the nasty, caked on grease. Then I'll run atf fluid through the other parts that weren't directly exposed to gunk. The hand...

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    I knew detroit lockers slipped initially but I was unaware of continued slipping during off road use. Good points. So you're looking at 3K + lots of work to fully ARB the truck. I wonder how much a qualified shop would charge to install those. Personally, I bought the truck to modify...

    Flushing Hydraulics

    So an air supply & tranny fluid takes care of the hoses before assembly. What about the pump, reservoir, control valve & ram? Should I wait until it is all assembled then flush it?

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    But with lockout hubs & a selectable air transfer case the detroit locker is the same as an ARB. Hubs & TC unlocked the differential isn't spinning. Hubs locked the differential spins. Why the extra headache of install & $$ for ARB up front when lockout hubs accomplish the same exact effect...

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    From what I understand, lockers will eat up stock axles in this truck. Here's an article where a guy is putting ARB's in a Rockwell axle housing. The Detroit Locker would be similar work, minus the air tube stuff. 2.5 Ton Rockwell Axle ARB Air Locker - 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine The guy...

    Flushing Hydraulics

    Okay, my used scissors jack assembly came from Crysteel today. It is basically everything I need for a dump bed. Pump,control,reservoir,scissors w/dual action cylinder,prefab hinge, PTO driveline, & hoses. Everything's sitting on a pallet. The problem is they didn't cover the ends of the...

    Flip the PTO?

    If I could find one for a reasonable price I would. In a few years when I do a transmission swap the stock PTO is useless. So I'm trying to minimize my expense for a rear facing PTO.

    New type of Allison in deuce

    Does that mean any of the SAE 3 Allisons will bolt right up or is that specifically for the Spicer?

    need help swapping tires

    More info please! I was going to buy some of the split rims to single out the truck. Is there something inherently dangerous about running them? Are single piece rims the way to go?

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    P.S. You need PS if you're putting lockers up front

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    talk to the OEM guy who sells stuff here. He's got lockers + much stronger alloy axle shafts + lockouts. When money affords, I'll do the same. Lockers up front & on front-rear axle, both with upgraded axles. Also lockout hubs on both for vibration/fuel/wear/handling reasons. I only need one...
