Wade, Im confident we can get you squared away and on the road. Helping eachother out is all part of the hobby. I'm going to pick my truck back up this wednesday from my moms house so I'll have a battery pack to bring with me to start your truck if the batteries are dead. Im thinking next week...

I am getting 10 mpg city, 11mpg highway. A little disappointing considering thats what I can get in my duece that weighs twice as much. I was hoping for about 15 highway. It has 37x 12.5 Goodyear MTR's...

I just bought a 98 H1 hummer wagon with a 6.5 turbo. It has a few engine mods (PCM, 4" stainless exhaust, and a turbo master wastegate actuator) and it still struggles going over any kind of hill. I cant imagine how gutless a fully armored one with a N/A 6.2 is. Its a fun vehicle to drive but I...

To give you an idea on shipping. I bought 3 dueces out of Port Hueneme last year which is about 40 miles from me. They all looked great online but none were in running condition, they had all been sitting for at least 5 years. I got several quotes to have just one towed back home, they were all...

Barstow truck and equipment has good take off stuff for great prices however they have the worst customer service I have ever seen anywhere. I drove 2 hours out to them after the owner told me he had good windshields and to come out to pick it up, got there and he totally blew me off ,gave me...

If you have a boost guage, that will give you a basic idea of how much to turn it up until you can and should get a pyrometer. JUdging from watching my boost and pyro, anything 10 lbs and under is in safe egt range, going over 10 lbs of boost then you should definately have a pyro. These are...

The one I have needs 12v to run, I would look for one that doesnt need any electricity to operate excluding the lights of course. I already burned mine out once by letting it ground itself out accidentally giving it a 24v jolt.

That looks like ALOT of work, too much for me. Looks good! [thumbzup]

I just hate seeing that stuff rot away, what a waste.

One of the dueces I recently sold had a smaller steering wheel than my regular duece. It was also a little thicker on the spokes and the circular part. Niether had power steering.

I dont think blow off valves are needed on diesels as there is no throttle plate slamming shut blocking off the airflow from the turbo. They sound great on gassers though.

With all those pictures and that wonderful description, that thing should hit the $9000 in no time! :?

Ive done it several times. The trick is to have crumpled up pieces of Carls Jr napkins in your ears to filter out the high pitch truck noises then you can hear perfectly on the cell phone, really.

I totally think they are doing that. Dont laugh but last year , I got sucked into a bidding war for a duece on GL, clean duece w/hard top and winch, etc. in nice shape out of Barstow. I dont know what got into me but I bid that thing all the way up to over $4000 for 2 1/2 hours after the auction...

I was talking to one of the guys at GL about no SF 97's and he said if they dont have an SF 97, then its because DRMO did'nt issue them to GL when they got the vehicle. He did'nt know why. Ive seen perfectly good trucks and trailers with no SF 97's in better shape than vehicles that were...

An air hammer makes things alot faster too, but noisy! Takes 2 seconds to pop each stud out, 2 seconds to pop em back in.

Bjorn, Did you have that wastegated turbo on before then swap out for the "D" turbo? If you did, was there any difference in performance between the two?

Thanks, I will check it out.

Hello , Dont know if this is the right area to post this being its about an 86 CJ but someone might have some experience with the problem I'm having. My transfer case wont shift into 2-Hi, if it does go into 2-Hi its for the front wheels only. When I put it into 4-Hi with the hubs locked the...
