I strtaed to post how I made one last night then a tranformer blew and it was total darkness. Long story short, I cut the box end off a 15/16" wrench leaving about 1/2" on. Then I welded a 10" long 1/2" drive extension on the box end of the wrench at about a 70 degree angle. I had to grind down...

Use the transfer case to start out in low range, go to 5th then shift t case into high and start from 4th gear. On big hills, I use low range 5th gear, keeps the EGT's down versus high range 3rd gear. If you encounter dirt lots or loose road/slippery wet roads, sharp turns should be done very...

I think its around 250-300 ft lbs, havent heard of using loc-tite.

That is more than enough for a duece cab except you need 110v to run it. Ive got a 15k btu in my 29' RV and it cools it off just fine.

Congrats! That was a very fast EUC approval. My first one took months. The next one you buy will only take 2 weeks at most, if you buy another one. Looks like you got a nice truck, enjoy!!!!!

Im going to put my duece and H1 into a local high school car show that my work is sponsoringin mid-May. It will be my first car show but I will be working so I wont be able to see how much fan fare they create.

Hey Dr, have you made any adapters yet for the exhaust manifold to bolt up those turbos?

I use that technique when flat towing dueces. Works great!

Yep, just unbolt the 8 bolts, slide out the axle, bolt up a front flange or an old rear flange that has the axle shaft cut off, boom done! To put it back in you'll more than likely need to jack up that wheel so the splines can align in the diff.

On the subject of increasing MPG's, I just removed my rear most drivers side axle and used a front hub in its place. I havent driven it enough to measure MPG increase but it has a tighter turning radius and burns out very easily. I am going to work on an air bag/spring set up to transfer weight...

Gosh I wish I could go! I only have Monday and Tuesday off with 14 hr days the rest of the week. You guys have fun and post some pics for me. Devin

The "C" also says Schwitzer on the compressor side if your looking at it from the front.

I tried to see if a golf cart shock would work, it did'nt!

Thats a funny story, I remember reading a similiar story a while back about a GSA or Gov liq. employee helping out when picking up a truck and there was an accident. Luckily nobody was hurt.

Looks great Kevin. I love your Chevy truck and am jealous of your side parking area. That would save me alot of money in RV storage. Get some pics with the new rubber mounted. What is that last picture supposed to be of? All I see is trees! [thumbzup]

Perfect camo for the smurfs! It actually doesnt look that bad, for purple camo.

I sprayed WD-40 on it then held the cable part with vice grips and slowly tightened it. Make sure you take all the adjusting slack back out on the incab adjusting handle so that you can start adjusting it again as it wears down.

Are machine guns legal every where except California? Seems like everybody gets to play with these things except us law abiding Californians! Even the gangsters get to have more fun. aua

Hey Bjorn, Do you have an axle pulled or the whole rear driveshaft removed? I'm waiting on a front hub to use as a cap for when I remove one of the rear axles.

That looks like quite the recovery operation! Good pics.
