12 volt bulbs?

I showed my teenage son Gimp's avatar and bazinga post -- now, he thinks he's awesome. I needed this.

Kudos on the TBBT reference! I am standing here beside myself.

:) I was wondering, if your timing was off, it would be off whether the motor was cold or warm. Since it starts cold and mostly ran ok (except for the hunting and stalling) would that not indicate the timing was OK? Can these motors be off just one tooth and still run? I guess that is the...

That's just them seeing that power steering setup. (OK, cheap shot, I apologize.) :)

Man, that sits nice. Good job. I like the idea of the air bag setup, but I have wondered if there is enough articulation. OTR rigs don't need much. How does your truck do in that regard?

Hi Shootist - I am sorry that I am on to this thread late. I was pretty sure from your first post that you lost a rod bearing. Not a wrist pin - never have seen a wrist pin go bad on these motors. They lose rod bearings, and they lose piston lands. That's pretty much it. Also, SOP back in...

Periods are your friend. As are paragraph returns, capitalization and coherent sentence structure. Do you realize how annoying it is to decipher stream of consciousness text? Folks here want to help; don't make it a chore to simply read your post. Just saying.

That's good to know about Herc. Of course, it can only hold on for as good as whatever it is applied on top of. If the underneath paint flakes off, the Herc will come with it. That's the beauty of POU, just spray on a bit more and it patches perfectly. Plus, because it remains pliable, it...

As Yolner already commented, you can remove it by scraping, with a little heat from a hot air gun and a putty knife, with solvent, or even just muscle the fasteners off past it. Herc and the other bed coatings don't play nice like that. POU (plain 'ol undercoating) is also a lot less...

I'll wet my beak, too. Thanks!

A little oil in there can't be bad. It might protect the insides of the air tanks from rust, and might keep your air pack happy.

I tow an M416 with my old Wrangler, and it likes a good amount of tongue weight. 10% is a minimum. If you had 2 trees forward, 2 trees rear and one centered, you were probably light on tongue weight. Those trees then wiggled around some, and it got worse. The scary thing about a badly...

I suggest plain old undercoating under your fenders and bed. It is removable if you need to work on it, and it can be touched up. It is also quite flexible, which is probably a good thing in areas that can get hit by pebbles as you motor along.

Absolutely so. Say you are running down the road. Parts are hot inside your axles and gearboxes; pressures are up. Now you ford something deep enough to immerse that stuff in water. The quenching causes rapid cooling, pressures drop, and air or water can get sucked right in. That's the idea...

Perhaps the problem was the type of vehicle. You might not be able to keep the pink from breaking through.

I'd bet that you do not have to get the rearmost tires completely off the ground. Just getting the lion's share of the weight on the front tandem, the residual scrubbing from the rear tandem would be negligible.

Exactly, curb to curb is the same as diameter. :)

Maybe the Deuce is 35 foot radius and the Titan in 45 foot diameter? That would sound more likely.

Probably two because they are not sized to handle the load singly. If the rear track bar is mounted the same as the front, how can the axle move up and down. Answer: it can;t without something flexing. That is not a suspension, that is a truss. From what I see, at least.
