    This is very interesting. It reminds me of a game I played against a computer. "you are in a maze of twisty turny passages, all alike". I'm probably doin it wrong. The trim is a very close match for old school radar displays that used P7 phosphor and an orange filter. I like that already.

    What do you have to do for your Deuce

    no foul, a small leak of 1 quart per 1000 miles will coat the undercarriage with a thin film and all but stop the rust. I'd fix the leak but it is at the front of the head gasket and I don't want to take that apart. In reply to the thread: 1. I want to add air conditioning to the cab. Really. I...

    That is a 12V truck. The batteries are in parallel I believe. You could take the cables off both, isolating your dodge, then use 2 sets of cables to attach to the 2 batteries of the sleeping truck, one for one.

    I'm bored, how about a re-power?!?

    RE: I That should be interesting. Check this article out - it speaks of the engine and what the army was doing with it. Well I hope you find your engine. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/m915.htm I'd love to repower the M35 with a higher revving diesel like the dodge...

    I GOT IT, I GOT IT!!!

    The pintle comes off easy except for the elbow grease. It takes some cranking as the nuts behind the bots are some kind of self-locking ones. The big nut is easy once the cotter pin is removed. It takes a big pair of channel lock pliers.

    GL ads disappeared...did I miss something?

    I'm all for having differentiated advertisers such as outdoorsman and camping stuff. As far as the previously stated firearms concern, there's ways to take related ads without the firearms themselves, such as the many accessories used with them. I am not against firearms ads in fact I like...

    GL ads disappeared...did I miss something?

    In case anyone who does not run their own website and work on their own internet machines wonders how much proper websites cost to run, and how you can make money fast with them.. Anything with failover or "non-stop" connectivity, storage, and processing, a little tiny bit of bandwidth, and...

    air leak under dash

    nothing should be hissing under the dash unless you have an opossum or old cat living in your truck. There are thre air-things under the dash. The buzzer, the windshield wiper control, and the stopcock. The stopcock is on the passenger firewall and usually has an air connection on it.

    Mystery bottle under dash on firewall

    The old ford washers had the motor built in, a 12V one. When I had a POS 60's chrysler fury II in the late 70's, it had two dead holes and a spun bearing and so ran real bad and I had tailgater issues on the highway, so I put on one of these under the hood and filled it up with used transmission...

    Diesel leaking on turbo??

    seems like you are describing the flame heater injection nozzle assy. It has two fuel lines on it and screws into the plenum going from the turbo to the intake. Removing and capping off the fuel line will fix that till you can get another nozzle.

    short little trip: "muddy buddy" Cedar Hill Park,

    RE: short little trip: "muddy buddy" Cedar Hill Pa I want to show how the telescoping Radio Shack antenna mast is easily mounted to the side of the bed. This beats putting up guyed masts! The height is 30FT. Running this kind of pole guy-less is done by not extending it all the way. Each...

    Heater Install

    The hose barb on the side near the coolant temp sensor wire is correct. The other one on top is not correct. Move it to the lower pipe plug in the last picture, right above the alternator. A picture of that is here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/modules/PNphpBB2/files/fix_303.jpg

    short little trip: "muddy buddy" Cedar Hill Park,

    Just found out I'll be at Cedar Hill State Park at 0530 Sunday.. There is an event called the "muddy buddy" race and the state guard is going to work it (safety, etc). Should be good training and it's always good to use the truck for official business. This is likely to be similar to the...

    First long trip

    I had that happen. BTW closely inspect the little tab or ear on your alternator that is where the tension bracket bolt is. Mine had a hairline crack which I did not know about and it broke at an unexpected time, rendering any new belts useless. If it were not for alphadeltaromeo and a ride to...
