Yes! A Val & Earl truck from Tremors! :)

This thing is being cooled with the factory V8 Flattie radiator. It NEVER runs any hotter than the thermostat. It would be so nice to have just a little more pep from it. Maybe I should take a look at the IP. I already turned up the OM352 in the Unimog a touch...

Do you guys toying with the 617 know if that has the same bell housing as the earlier 4 cylinders in the 190D cars? I have a 190D four cylinder and four speed in a '53 F100 Custom Cab and it could use just a tad more power and I think one more cylinder would solve that...as long is it's easy to...

Vice on my crane truck.

I think there are some things that are being overlooked. Take for example the REB kit that was available for the GMC 6x6 auto trans that converted it to full manual valve body. They made that transmission awesome but very, very positive to the point that you could stall it if you didn’t...

The Unimog Exchange is also a good source for tires. Usually a couple of posts with guys selling 12.5R 20's, 365's, or 14.5R 20's. Usually Conti's or Michelins.

Booger, good work! Cutting tires has big benefits. Guys supporting XL...they SHOULD be cut too. What do you have? ...at least you don't have a full solid rib up the center so they will bite more but you have four giant flat tread blocks per row with only ONE biting edge. I had 1100x16's...

My 1160 V8 CAT will idle 60psi cold and 15 to 20psi hot. Also, engine rule of thumb is 10psi per 1,000rpm. So if you're idling at 700rpm with 15psi, you're still in clear from the engine builders stand points.

Mechanical is driven via a driveshaft from the PTO to the winch. Hydraulic is a pump mounted somewhere, usually PTO driven, to a control valve, then you have high pressure hoses running up to the oil motor then is coupled to the winch. Hydraulic is nice because you can mount the thing...

I see an older GMC bed, 395 XML's wedged on stock wheels, plus cab with full canvas (okay, that's cool)...and chrome with OD. I don't see sixty grand. Nice truck though...he drops it forty or so and he'll sell it. :mrgreen:

I like the public posting of his aliases and numbers. Like a place that scotch tapes a bad check right on the front of the cash register. I see you have the typical outrigger set up for these that just unpin and drop down without telescoping out. I hope they clear your tank/truck width...

Also known as an NP200...close cousin to the well known NP205. I just gave a spare NP205 to a buddy that has some M37's and one 6x6. There is also a transfercase that is narrow and not a high-low like the NP200 that could be in some of those early Dodge trucks. My buddy had one of those too...

I was FINALLY happy to see a guy pulled over the other day by the PA State Police. I was driving past a large truck pull off as the cop was walking up to past the guys trailer shaking his head in disbelief. The guy was one of the no contract scrap haulers that will grab any bit of metal not...

Everyone can say what they want about being optimistic and you'll win court for sure and this and that...fact of the matter is you can't get blood from a stone. There is a person that owes me over $5,000 awarded BY THE COURTS. No pay, no concern of it...I'm out all the money for the fees and...

The piece at the lower center of the pic in the middle of my palm is what gets hooked into the linkage in the head and part of the 'Rack.' The small piece extending out of the other side of the injector, if you look closely, you can just see like a gear too aiming up on it. That is the same...

Another thing you may be able to try is 'shorting' the injectors. Pull the head pan off and start the engine. You'll see that each injector has its own rocker arm. Hold down on one rocker arm at a time and see if the engine limps or not. If the engine doesn't really respond then you may have...

Here's a small Hiab that was on a 406 Case Unimog for some rail use.

On my deuce with the crane, I run 4th gear at about 1200rpm too. Spins the transfercase PTO fast enough to run the crane at speed and enough power to overcome the load holder valves on the main lift rams. Booming down will still drop the engine rpm a little at 1200, but it will drop a lot more...

The way it has the single extension on the mast with a long cylinder to push it may lend me to think it was a special military only Hiab unit. It doesn't look like any Grove I've seen and I doubt we would have used an offshore brand. I saw a small Hiab for sale recently that was basically...

Trim the fat off of the set up you have and it'll work nicely! :)
