Is it a powerstroke or just the 7.3 IDI?

Hardware store's sell weather stripping that has an adhesive backing on one side. It comes in different thicknesses and widths. I had to use it on my jeep and it works great. Its about $6-9 dollars for a 10ft roll. Its usually in the screen door isle. Thats what I plan on using for my duece...

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/DotNetForum/default.aspx?f=68&m=17648 Check out this thread from the 5 ton section. There is a switch that engages/dis engages the tandem axles on certain civilian trucks. This 5 ton truck I have been talking about was a converted water truck that had a fiberglass...

Ive been lucky twice with GL purchases, 3rd one I struck out and had to have it shipped.

I dont think the market for 5 ton axles is as big as for 2.5 ton axles. The 5 tons are just too big and heavy to swap into a jeep, unlike the 2.5 tons. I'd bet you might be able to get 300-500 bucks for a 5 ton axle. Seems like alot of work to take out that 855 cubic inch cummins just to swap a...

Lots of things to consider. I looked at the axles again yesterday and there is no suspension to swap over. The axle tubes look about an inch thicker and alot heavier than the stockers. Also, when the truck was complete I remember there was an extra air switch on the dash that said axle interlock...

I have a buddy who told me they used to put jet fuel in the dueces when he was in the marines. He said it would shoot flames out the exhaust at night. Dont know how much is exaggeration but I dont think I'd use my truck as the ginea pig.

Thats a funny story! Its a miracle nobody was hurt or even killed.

Well, Im currently in the process of sanding,grinding, chemically stripping, etc the 11 layers of paint off so its not being driven. Once I repaint it I'll probably park on the street. I live in a track house with an H.O.A. and I dont want to piss off the nieghbors with the rough paint it has...

Hello, I have a connection to get a set of 5 ton axles (3) along with 6 alcoa wheels and tires like the ones on cement mixers all for free. Its all spare parts from my buddies sand and gravel company. I would love to do the swap but am wondering if its worth the trouble. I would probably have to...

DR, could you please post the diameter and length of the muffler. I need to see if it will be able to clear my garage door. With the top off and windshield folded down I can just squeeze into my garage, the steering wheel clears by a pubic hair. Thanks

Theres also 1 of those plugs at the back but unfortunately for me they were both extremely stuck. Its a simple bolt in if you can get those plugs out, no drilling or tapping.

When I made my post I was thinking everybody had an airshift like me. Never thought of the sprag type and all the problems people have with them. Now I see why somebody would want to pull their front driveshaft.

I think the majority of the whistle sound is from the intake side, you might be able to hear it better without all that background noise.

Its an E-1796, I had it on my powerstroke. I had to rig up a reducer because the filter clamp on part is 4" and the duece intake pipe is 3". I aslo totally removed the stock air cleaner canister. There might be a K&N filter that will fit inside the stock filter housing but I was just using what...

Turn up the fuel and your 1D will whistle too! Ive had both motors and the 1D had almost 2 lbs more boost at the stock fuel setting. I'm now getting 20lbs of boost and it sounds sweet, especially with the K&N air filter.

I would make sure the other data plate is stamped with the vin before going in. I tried for 6 weeks to get the inspection on my old duece,left 2 messages a week with no return call or appointment from the only officer that does the inspection at the Newhall station. I gave up trying and drove...

The cost versus gain in my opinion arent worth it. Youll never wear out your front end from driving around without the front axle engaged. If your commuting 20,000 miles a year at 10 mpg, youd spend $5000 dollars a year in fuel at $2.50/gallon. If you were able to bump your fuel milage up to...

I dont think it would fit under the hood. I think the 5 ton hoods are taller and longer. The cummins is 855 cubic inches unlike our 478 cubic inches. I could be wrong, but have also been wondering. Im only about an hour and a half away from there. I still have to pick up my M105 trailer bed...
