There was an article in military vehicle magazines a while back. Basically empty out the old acid, flush the batteries out real good with fresh water, i think there might be a cleaner to get the plates cleaned off then you put in new acid. When I got my truck, the batteries were dead. I put a...

I thought it seemed low too. At idle it was about 75-80 degrees after it had been warmed up. It might make a difference in your calculations being that it is 478 CI and I was only at about 2200 rpm at 14lbs boost. Anyway it will give me a baseline for when I do some turbo/intercooler mods. I...

Ok just got back from a drive. Going up a hill in 4th gear 14 lbs of boost @ 1100 degrees EGT and coolant temp around 140 degrees, outside air about 58 gave a charge air temperature of 145 degrees. The highest I could get it was 160 degrees on flat land at full throttle in 5th gear, didnt look...

Hey Cranetruck, Have you ever measured the temperature of the charge air inside the intake manifold? I just put an extra Pyrometer probe in my intake manifold today and will have it hooked up to my MAC digital mutimeter. I used it before when my egt guage broke and it gave very precise readings...

I cant believe that truck went for that much. Im sure GL has the ability to see who has the highest reserve then they just have one of thier "people" bid right up to it.

I would be interested if its not too much cash. How much were you thinking?

Hey Doc, Do you think its a waste of time messing with the cat turbo? Do the Holset turbo's have the same size exhaust flange as the stock duece or is the same size as this Cat turbo I have? I'm kind of bummed to hear its not the performer I thought it would be. I dont want to waste time...

What is the flange size for the hx-35/ hx-40? I just bought a new turbo made for a cat 3126 that I am going to use for my turboproject and it looks like I have to make a flange adapter being that its 4 1/4" long by 2 3/4"wide (outside dimensions) which is smaller than the duece exhaust manifold...

I had an old duece that had the 1D motor but had the old style exhaust that came out between the rear wheels. I swapped on the regular smoke stack style without any modifications. Straight across swap, assuming you have all the hangers already.

$800 is a smoking good price! I paid $600 to have my cousin use his works low boy to tow 1 of my dueces home 120 miles and that was the "family discount". It cost me $790 to have a hummer H-1 shipped from Texas to Los Angeles. I have also gotten quotes to have a duece towed 50-60 miles and that...

I had alot of fun at Port Hueneme today. Got to see some good trucks hopefully coming up for auction soon. The GL rep wouldnt confirm or deny but said to keep checking the website. All the trucks had complete top bows and canvas as well as new dual front suspension seats and mufflers already...

Thanks for the info guys!

Being that it is the rainy/snowy season, I was wondering if there is any maintenance that can be done to keep our canvas tops in good shape? I cant remember seing this subject and could'nt find anything using the search. My top is starting to look a little weathered. Anybody have any tips for...

Ok the pics didnt work, Im having trouble setting up my album too, the pics are too big. Ill try and fix it.

Here is my muffler job. I used 1" angle iron and welded 2 sections straigt to the muffler in the spot where the stock bracket is. Welded a nut on the inside of each angle iron piece and it bolts right in using the stock hanger. I welded on the lip to unbolt the top stack section when I need to...

I had an 84 crew cab chevy with an ATS kit on the 6.2. It really helped but beware of that tiny little fuel adjusting screw. I turned mine up a little more than recommended then loaned my truck out to a friend. He didnt listen to what I told him about watching the EGT guage and came back with...

Very nice truck! I've got the same size tires on my truck and am getting about 62 mph according to my GPS. Those have a more aggressive tread than my truck, they look great ! Congrats on the new purchase.

That one on Ebay looks exactly like the Napa muffler I put on my truck. I think I paid $63 total from Napa and no shipping charges, they had it the next day. I will post pics later in the week after I get my truck back home tomorrow.

What about just bolting on a duece bed onto one of those trailers? Looks like it would be a perfect fit. A duece bed would be alot easier and cheaper than making a bed.

Last time my buddy went out there, he had to wait while one of the guys went and pulled the stuff off. I would call ahead and make sure they know your coming and get someones name who will guarantee they have the part and aren't too busy to help you once you show up. Devin
