The flame heater is disconnected to a point but I want it completely gone.... I don't mind doing ether but I shouldn't have to every time I start it..... If I ran it and it sits more then an hour I have to use ether to start it......
So the plan is this..... I was looking and the weather is supposed to be 45 to 50 and sunny saturday. My primary fuel filters should be here tomorrow. I'm going to order secondaries from gimpy and hopefully they will come by the end of the week. I'm going to redo all the return lines and bypass...
Well talking to gibb he said to replace the return lines and get rid of the flame heater it's probably sucking air and losing prime..... it runs great once started..... went to grocery store yesterday hopped out grabbed a few things then went back and barely hit the button and it fired right up.
Yeah normally I do let it warm up that long.... I left it run for 10 minutes or so outside the shop then pulled it in to swap air horns and that took maybe 20 minutes.... went to start it again and it wouldn't idle at all. Plus why does it seem down on power?
So today wasn't that great of a day..... Both my new head lights are cracked and since I was down to half tank I figured I'd fill her up. So I have half a barrel of new iso 46 hydraulic oil so I dumped in 15 gallons of that and 5 gallons of gasoline. Truck started up hard as usual and wouldn't...
Yes the straight plug but it's not tight.... I don't think It will come off but if it does I'm just going to use female ends and put them right on the bulb tabs.
I second the Hewitt industries gauges..... no power except light you can get them with red 24v back lights and the thermo couple and wires have a lifetime warranty.
Yeah hardtop is great..... I'd look for one with it though if I had to do it again.... but I got a smoking deal on mine only paid $200 for it. It doesn't have a sliding rear window though. I'll fix that eventually.
I'm not switching to 12v just adding a seperate system. The biggest reason is cause I'll be adding a 12v winch front and rear later on. The first time around I'm going to do the stock filters but I'll be saving for the spin oil filter kit and I'll be making my own primary filter setup. As far as...
Piece of cake.... All it i had to do was change the bulbs..... they are a little shorter and brighter then the stock ones.
Next few things on the list are going to be a pain.... All the coolant hoses need changed so I ordered the hoses and new belts too. While I have it apart I'm going to do...
Thanks!
Here's a few pictures of the lights..... I put 356 bulbs in the dash much brighter then the factory bulbs. The one picture is the dim setting on the switch and the other is the bright setting.
And the. The headlights on low beam
I'll be going down there in a few weeks to get a wheel from him but I won't be able able to make it to the rally I don't think. I'm not far from Rausch though
Got the other window swapped out today and both civy wipers on and man do they work good.... Also temporarily sealed the windows with duct tape. Also wired license plate light and got the dash lights working good.
My dumb brother in law decided he needed to pull his boat out today cause the...
I know but both low beams burnt out already.... I've been driving around with high beams on. Well for the prices I've seen bulbs and hearing about then burning out right away I think this was well worth it. It was $45 off ebay and $4 for a pair of plug ends. So I have $50 into it. They look much...
Ok so between the jim thorpe show and being drug to a party by my wife I quick got my headlights swapped. I already did the harness earlier. That was easy.... the one thing I didn't like was the H4 plugs weren't tight. If I have any problems I'm just going to use spade connectors. Now even with...

I have the u bolts in my truck. I was planning on mounting my federal signal vision light bar like that. I have 2 pcs at 5' of schedule 40 pipe. Good to see someone else doing it too and I'm not the first one with a crazy idea.
