It is worth saying that DOT5 will lose its purple color over time, and therefore the water+fluid test should always be done when it is not certain what is in the system.

Good. So they are paying for the new wiring harness too since they apparently spliced all it up? BTW it is not always easy to solder the harness. I found some of the wires apparently have steel woven in with the copper. Strange. So I crimp with bare connectors, then solder the crimped joint...

I'm familiar with turning up the fuel rate, but how do you turn up the pressure?

The poppong sound is not normal. There are also very minor incantations of this sound type. There can be a slight but ignor-able imbalance in the running of the engine at no load where very little fuel is used. It can make the engine run very slightly un-smooth. A fix could be injector...

do it to a 5T.. but anyway consider the space that will be consumed by the engine tunnel and the heat to be rejected there. You will have great visibility but also be right up front in case of any accident.

BTW is that UPS 24V? I have seen those in 24v and 48V (and the dreaded "15 costly little batteries in series" abominations). I gave up a 48V 3KW one, always looking for 24V. Well having built one of these kind of hevaily integrated things over 3-4years, I am really interesting in watching you...

Wreckerman, let's see the PA system!!

Good work doing something high tech with the body there. I am a bit surprised that you did not clean out the leaves/critter nest in the cable corner and also clean and repaint the van body interior before adding the gear especially since the truck itself is rather clean. Or are you going for...

Removal of the steering box and column assy on the deuce is a chore involving moving the engine.

The issue is that the dust may be inhaled. Furthermore, radium decays into radon,a gas,which then decays to a series of solids.. so the inside of the guage may be covered in a radioactive dust. It virtually never goes away. handy chart...

With all the silly rules of today and the whiney babies that love them, it's hard for those with interesting hobbies that can be "seen". Code inspectors probably have to generate enough paperwork to justify their positions. MV are an easy target because they are "different". Just like ham radio...

Thread re-use: I changed my ad to make it more attractive monetarily to prospective buyers. It's buried of course under a months worth of other ads by now. I don't know how many people go through all the ads. If I want to renew it so it is on the first 10 pages.., what is the right way? End...

If one was doing a frame-off total rebuild and customization, the 6600 would be nothing. For others, replacing the engine and transmission with one that turns a little faster, or putting larger tires on, would be enough. 65 and over is very fast in a deuce. The suspension is not made to behave...

Question - - The HEMMT wheel is some 1/2" thick. The studs in the rears will handle it lengthwise but wouldn't you want to use the caps so the wheel holes are correctly filled up and piloted? Q 2: The fronts have shorty studs. The caps go over these, right? Otherwise, incomplete thread...

Today I was lazy and took the M35 to the diesel shop to have the chassis lube and transmission, transfer, and differentials serviced. I was offered 50W synthetic GL-5/MT-1 for the transmission and transfer, but I stuck with what I have been using, the 80-90W GL-5/MT-1. I declined because I ws...

change the diff ratios? They are small and only two of them. BTW I would consider putting an Eaton tru-track diff inside, if possible. I put one in my 2WD pickup and it made a big difference to have 2 wheels working. It's a positive lock that engages after a certain amount of slippage. No...

They sort of remind me of the glass doorknobs at my Grandma's house.

The same job on my truck turned out way different and not so simple. In case anyone finds the same thing I found, maybe it will help. Ok. well the general rule is thread re-use. There is another good thread on this: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/33717-pinion-seal-removal.html And...

OOPs. I accidentally deleted the preceeding message. dang it. well it was a set up for this one. The story was about an old hippie that complained about my truck splattering his VW van with oil from my pinion leak. I figured the guy had been smoking something.
