    Detroit Lockers

    The biger tires that i run on my truck give me about 14% more speed in 5th gear than a stock size tire, so if your running a stock size tire at 48mph thats equivelent to 54mph at the same RPM on my truck..sounds about right.

    Detroit Lockers

    I took my bobbed duce on a 2,000 mile road trip last september, had no trouble at all, but i did keep the RPMs down around 2200-2400. I do have the micheline XML 395/85/R20s on it, so my speed was about 55-57mph. Gonna do the trip again this fall.

    IP leaking fuel

    The oring at the base is not leaking, and i dont belive the plunger bore screw is leaking, i think the HH has a crack in it. I will pull of the tin cover tomorrow and find where the fuel is coming from.

    I finally got a chance to work on my truck yesterday looking for the source of my fuel leak. I thought it was coming from the shutoff cover, so I removed the cover and there was no fuel in there, just motor oil.
