Screws around the outside of the valve cover should be a 3-53 .
Seems like it would be shorter than the 6 cyl that was originally in it ?
Doesn't seem like the firewall would have to be butchered that hard, I like the hydro boost brakes, somebody has sure put some time into that truck, I like...
Hey Joe, saw you post this yesterday in BnB 4x4 Fab, I was thinking it was a more modern Deuce like an M35A2, they have considerably more room in the engine bay to work with, however the 7.3 is not very long, just wide .
The tape measure is your friend, measure your frame rails and the engine...
What did I do to my deuce this week ?
Well I fired it up, let it run for a spell then took it out onto the road and opened all the low drain points and let the water out for the season, as it's getting considerably cooler up here these days .
I drove it around for about 20 min or so and let...
Hopefully you meant 5' .
I should add of course that this is a 2 person operation with a man at each helm, and the ends of the chain need to be clevis or bolt bound as the hooks obviously would just come undone, I have made due before with getting the hooks tight and zip tying back a link to...
You did not say if it is both front and rear pass lights illuminating or just one .
If it is both, unhook just one and see it it stops the other from lighting up, if it makes zero change then do the the same for the other to eliminate a backfeed situation .
There are a variety of things that...
When I was at the Hammers earlier this year a guy had one about 3 or 4 feet long set up on a crossbar behind his seats in a single open cab pickup with no windows and a noisy engine, it was clear loud and sounded great, couldn't tell you a brand name but I doubt it would be hard to find a...
I love my M1101, I wish I had a few more .
It is bare bones no top or bows, nice and light made from aluminum, beadlock 37" tires, what's not to like about that, great wood or whatever hauler, I converted all the bulbs to 12v and my lifted pickup pulls it like it isn't even there .
I looked at the tires and all they said was OZ Military and the size, also saw no nomenclature plates like on my M1101 trailer .
Thanks for all the info and suggestions everyone, truly appreciate it .
Would like to see you doing what you are describing, recommend live feed in case of a catastrophe .
Have any such vids of dogbone removal that show it actually occurring ?
So I actually had a T-case I had forgotten about buried under some junk, so added that to the list of trailer stuffers .
So three Diesel engines
Three manual transmissions
Two T-cases
5th wheel ramp
Misc. engine mounts etc.
Got everything stuffed in there, it was pretty tight, didn't have...
So far, the Nissan w/ trans up front, along with two multi-fuel Deuce engines tucked in behind, everything stuffed in there as tight as I can get it .
Not sure I have room for two transmissions and a T-case with less than two feet in between back engine and tailgate .
It looks like plenty of...
If it is bump steer turning into death wobble you more than likely have some well worn steering components trying to deal with old hard out of round tires .
Have someone move the steering wheel back and forth just taking up the play in the steering while you stare at all the moving parts...
Assuming I'm understanding this correctly that it is a bouncy bounce (up and down) problem, and not a death wobble (steering left right left instantaneously) problem, I am going to say it could use some shocks ?
Thanks for all the info, I was probably going to do it anyway out of necessity and because I figured it would take the weight ok, but I do appreciate the reassurance, and wanted to see some numbers .
Off topic, one odd thing I noticed about this trailer when I towed it home less than two years...
M105 Trailer Questions etc.
I am buying back my M105 Trailer that I sold last year, and I am seeking some SS wisdom .
I have (2) Deuce engines, (2) Deuce transmissions and (1) Deuce T-case AND (1) Nissan UD 6 cylinder diesel engine w/trans that I want to store inside the trailer under it's...
