    Oil pressure question

    All the Lucas does is thicken the oil and dilute the additives. That 15/40 is more like straight 60 weight after the Lucas mixes in. You might want to try here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?83219-Oil-pressure-regulator

    Deuce Price

    I'm pretty sure it's razorblades by now. If you really want it, check Harbor Freight... one of the $5 anvils is sure to have part of that truck in it. I posted it last year. Farmer in the thumb of Michigan. It was a firetruck/gasser deuce on 1100's with a tank on the back the farmer used as a...

    Deuce Price

    I can tell you I turned down a gasser at $1800. They just aren't as powerful, easy to work on, and offer any of the multifuel boons such as turbo sound or multi-fuel capability. Best of luck. You may find a gasser fan who loves it, but you will probably make more money parting it out.

    Driveability of 395's vs. NDT's

    I have heard that as well. I'm going to save my pennies and put them on my list. I think I'll be waiting for the price to come down a bit more though.

    Driveability of 395's vs. NDT's

    The flood of Goodyear MVTs hitting the market gives me a warm fuzzy they will be available for the next few years. They seem to be the new standard Mil tire. The price dropping like it has is giving me a good feeling as well!

    Starter Relay help

    Use a jumper cable from one terminal to the next to bypass it and rule out the starter. (This will crank the engine, take precautions) Good rule of thumb for vehicular starter solenoids... if it clicks it's good. If it clicks a lot (oscillation) you have a power supply problem.

    What would it look like?

    Working on a method in Photoshop. I need to use an M35A2 painted surface outline, and create a mask of a particular paint scheme...overlay one on the other and it should look like a new paintjob. Yes, I'm getting help. When/if I get it working anyone should be able to use it for any paint...

    Rod Ventilated Block in Deuce -NOT- Crank Broke

    Ha! I'm thinking "remove chunks" will require bearings and pulling a piston and sleeve... but that's about it. Crossed fingers for your sake.

    Rod Ventilated Block in Deuce -NOT- Crank Broke

    I'm betting it's not that bad once the heads are off. One WHOLE Nickle!

    Reviving the 83 ford with LDS 5 ton drive line

    AGMs are overrated IMHO. If you work at AZ, ask your grey shirts about the out-of-date batteries. If you have never seen them, someone has a sweetheart deal for them and they are getting sent out as fast as they get cycled. The label will say "Used Battery"... they aren't used.

    Reviving the 83 ford with LDS 5 ton drive line

    If you have a commercial store locally, have them check the out-of-date consignment batteries. 1/2 price.

    stuck piston rings

    Floating. With the heads off you can get them to pop up by barring the engine over.

    Found pieces of metal in tansfercase, it's a shame because i was going to sell it

    I would suggest doing the repair yourself. A: The hard part is actually wrestling the thing out and in, which you feel comfortable enough to do if swapping it is an option. B: You want to keep it, it will be good experience. C: If you are forced to sell it, you will have saved a significant...

    Heath's M35A2... the beginning

    I have the Camo scheme and colors! The scheme is Swedish M90... and the colors are light grey, dark grey and spruce green. This is the closest I can come to finding a picture of something in the neighborhood:

    What would it look like?

    So now that winter is almost upon us, it's time to start plotting out spring projects... like paintjobs. I'm trying to find a good way to photoshop, mspaint, or otherwise mock up a photo of an M35A2 so I can play with camo patterns and colors. I think a lot of guys would benefit from being...

    Another HF54 conversion

    Really? I was planning on doing my upgrade with a HF54 and using the gamma goat column and wheel with your parts. I just wanted the extra clearance from going inside the frame. Luckily, I have another whole winter to get parts and plan. I'd love to hear more on the differences/benefits of...
