    NATO Plug

    NATO slave cable Just quoted new 15' single pin NATO slave/jumper cables to a customer of mine - $975 for a jumper cable - :shock: Copper ain't cheap these days! The truck mounted receptacles were over $700 each - "Tanner'

    New(to me) M37,running now!!!

    Okay AMG... you're not the only one with an M37 that can brag about it not smoking... Mine doesn't smoke, either! But then again, the motor is out of my M-37... :lol: And the 6.2 has been sitting for a few months, so it'll likely smoke when it's fired back up - Congrats on the truck! "Tanner"

    Winch Disaster! Three Donkeyss hard at Work!

    Maybe there will be a 4x4 Dodge in the parking lot at the rally that could be the dead weight? :wink: Again - good to hear that the only things hurt were a winch, a Dodge door, and the winch operator's pride... all repairable! "Tanner"

    towing

    I think that the constructive part has been covered - a quick survey of the post seems to show a majority of respondents preferring that Airtech would use a towing service or at least a larger vehicle to tow the truck in question. Others are merely voicing the fact that they have 'successfully'...

    VA DMV now rejecting GL's SF-97

    Hot poker in rear or trying times at DMV... I'm still a noob on a lot of this title crap, but I'd like to post an observation... I'd recommend that this entire forum get out of the mindset of using the title services for getting 'titles' for vehicles - IMH(but accurate)O, I think that the use...

    50.00 jeep

    The Charger was actually painted with a roller, let it dry, then sanded, then roll on more paint, dry, sand, etc... Much like the way Henry Ford did early cars - Tanner

    Engine Questions

    Wish I hadn't discarded those casting books now!! Some of the info can be found from the engine remanufacturers - other places on web also have some good info. I've read that the 6.2/6.5 with the 10149599 casting number were the thickest blocks made and were produced in the 1992-1993 time...

    Engine Questions

    I used to sell reman 6.X GM diesels - we had to junk 80-85% of the blocks we received as cores due to cracks in the main webs, block sides, etc. You might get 400k out of a 6.2 or 4k out of one - it's karma, luck, black magic, voodoo, whatever, regarding lifespan. Experience that I have with...

    Extremely interesting new fuel source

    No If true, I'd say this guy would be well-protected... As more of this type of technology comes into 'publc demand', these guys developing this science will get more visibility & be in demand to share info, unlike the 100mpg Fish carburetor myth types & the car that runs on water - I think...

    Michelin 11.00-16 XZL's

    M37 on 1100x16 XZL's Ummm, a picture or 2 like this? My truck project - undergoing a 6.2/3053A swap at the present time - and yes, the wheels are Haze Gray, as this will become (heaven forbid that I open myself up to ribbing...) a Navy truck - :lol: Shots taken in Garbee's backyard - gotta...

    New 37

    Truck looks good, Mangus, but I'm not too sure about the interior mounted spare tire carrier - you lose passenger carryin' capability, don't you? :lol: "Tanner"
