Looks good. My next project is to put a 4cyl cummins in my CJ-7. Where did you get the motor? I've been trying to find an auction or place that sells the old bread trucks with the 4 cyl cummins. One of the delivery drivers for Hostess was supposed to get me a number where his company sells them...

On the air assist power steering, does the steering just go back to regular steering if the air pressure is lost?

Buy a boost guage and if your getting more than 6-7 lbs of boost then the fuel has more than likely been turned up.

"Sergeant Rock" on "Trucks" has disk brakes. On the show that highlight the 2 1/2 ton axles, it says the rotors are from an international truck that have to be mated to the stock rockwell hub. Then for calipers they use stock ones from an F350. Looks like a nice set up but I'd rather spend my...

Did you blow the oil passages out to make sure there werent any blockages?

Ive got goodyear G285 11.00 20's and they drive great. I havent used them off road much but the additional top speed is nice. They are they same width as the front and it would look better if the bed was 6" narrower on each side. Ill get the michelins as soon as these wear out. The truck doesnt...

That bobbed duece is clean! Looks great. Wonder if hes a member.

Turn up the fuel a little (lots more power), use the high and low when driving (10 speeds), taller tires and youve got 65mph. Easy as pie!

Hey guys, I have the smaller adapters left that are made for the hummers with a 3/4" hole. They weigh the same as the duece/5 ton ones and are only a little smaller at the 3/4" hole end. They can easily be made to work with the duece if you drill out the 3/4" hole to 1" and add some gusseting...

Well I just found that the #3 rod bearing had spun and the 2 bearing halves wedged on top of eachother creating a brake effect on the motor. The crank looks like its gonna have to be re ground. I dont have the time or desire to pull the motor so I'm contemplating using it as a parts truck for...

I have another duece I just bought and it too has a locked up motor. I have the heads off and the oil pan off. No bearing material in the oil pan, no scoring of the cylinders. Everything looks fine except It just wont turn over either. Ive sprayed wd-40 in the cylinders and let it soak thinking...

CBVET, Im sorry, I didnt mean to hijack your thread. I didnt realize there was such a high demand for those pieces. If I could post pictures I would take a bunch of my tow bar and the pieces to give you an idea. There isnt much to making one. It just has to be heavy duty tubing like 3" diameter...

I swapped in a 1C turbo a few years back to see if there was a difference in power. I had a boost guage hooked up and the 1C put out about 1-2 lbs less boost compared to the 1D. It sounded better but thats it. Its a straight across swap, not worth the trouble unless you absolutely love the sound...

Ok fellas, Desert Rat got the last reservation for the big pieces. The smaller pieces are the same size on the tow bar end, same demensions they just have a smaller truck end but can be drilled out and reinforced to work just as well, so if you are desperate you can make the other ones work...

Just a quick update, Ive got 3 sets set aside for people who say they want them, only 2 sets of the big ones left, Send me a PM and Ill send you confirmation and payment info. Thanks,Devin

Wow, I thought I would have trouble trying to off load these things. I have 5 pairs of the big adapters that are used for the 2 1/2 ton and 5 ton tow bar (rated at 78000 lbs)and I have 8 pairs of the smaller type for the hummer (rated at 14,500 lbs). I would like to get $50.00 a pair for the...

Since theres no blue book section for these trucks I am gonna throw an estimate out there based on what I see them going for in military vehicles magazine and what they sell for on ebay. $4000-$5000, maybe more if its really clean. Hopefully I dont offend anyone since there are trucks I see...

I have the adapter pieces to attach the tow bar to the front lifting brackets. Had to buy a whole pallet of them from GL just to get a pair since nobody has them in stock. Let me know if you need a pair when you fab up a tow bar, they are a must. I picked up my towbar from AV equipment for $150...

Hey guys, gonna make it short. Is there a difference in the long block between the 2 1/2 ton and 5 ton? What is the H.P. rating of a 5 ton mutlifuel engine? How much turbo boost does the 5 ton put out? Thanks, Devin

Just curious if anybody has put a 5 ton turbo on a duece? The stock turbo on these trucks seem to have a small compressor side compared to a powerstoke which has less cubic inches. Seems like they dont offer as much air flow as the motor could use. Does anybody know how much boost a stock 5 ton...
