When I bought my truck I was pretty ****ed strapped for cash, and 1200 miles from my tools and all around in a bad spot. I had some help from the So-Cal chapter, (Awesome dudes) and then succesfully moved back here to where the money is. My point is I understand that frustration when your out...

Thanks! It wasn't looking like I could get a mortgage till June, so my plan was to have the truck running good and strong by then, as well as have a bit more saved. Opportunity came knocking, and things started happening much faster than predicted. No complaints, I am going to be so glad to...

I have news in my life! I am closing on my new house near the beginning of next month! Its located near 176th and A st in Spanaway. For those who dont know, my current living situation is difficult, and working on the Deuce is.... "Frowned upon" and not permitted during the times when I am...

You misunderstood, you can keep the welder, you just have to spent 15 mins helping me do the super easy conversion! Keep the money. What can I say, I am a giver :p

Im no expert, but that was where my mind went when someone said Diesel in a 350. Could Deuce injectors work in the spark plug hole? Idk how well that would work... Obviously forged instide. Custom pistons, and a custom cam (Which would take some knowledge to build) My mind though, is on the...

My sister is touring Australia right now, see your build and some photos made my night! I love your truck, its pretty much amazing! If you decided to come through this neck of the woods, Washington state, near Seattle and mount Rainier. (Dont know if your familiar with either of those) I...

I would NOT start with a 4 bolt main block, just MHO. I would start with a bolt main block and have it machined for the 6 bolt bearing caps. Stronger bottom end than 4 bolt mains, which many argue are not better than the 2 bolt mains. I dont understand the argument, but I know that when I was...

Its possible that it has not been changed for a while, and its never a bad plan with a new purchase to do an oil change after buying, then another 500 miles later. Walmart sells Rotella 15w-40 (This is a very decent oil, designed for a diesel) cheap enough to make this feasible. However, I...

I can't wait to see the tan cargo cover on there, aught to look amazing!

A few members here, Josh and Scott, have seen the tires I drive from Riverside, Ca to Tacoma, Wa with, and one of them I have actually stuffed penny's into the sidewall cracks. They look like they have a bit of life left to them from my un-educated stand point, but as said elsewhere, never on...

Good looking truck, the tires got my attention right away!

I have been very plesently suprised by the brakes on mine. All the shoes look awesome, and so does all the rubber. I blew apart my wheel cylinder because.... well, it looks like my shoes were all kinds of wrongly adjusted.... by me.... /Shame While you have them apart you aught to flip your...

Things are going really well! just been working a LOT, still working towards buying a home. Congrats on the new place! December and Jan were just crazy for me, but with the bit of sun lately I have been working on the brakes and progress is going along, little bit each day.

Well, daily driver shat a water pump at me, so the next thing I know my drip trays under the rear axles (that had my bearinga in them) with rain water. Didnt make me happy >.< Started packing them by hand, I must have been doing something wrong, after two hours I wasnt even half done! Barrowed...

That is an awesomely clean install. Might copy that a bit when I need batteries.

LMTV cover looks really good on there man! I'm thinking some new paint would do wonders for my truck, just need to finish going through my brake and fuel system first.

Double post

When I posted this, I had read the TM, but I assumed a bearing packer was a big and expensive device. Lol. The innermost seal, when I removed the inner bearings, I cant get that seal to come off. I was going to put some RTV on it, but it wont release. Am I doing something wrong?

That video was about the funniest thing I ever seen! On one of my axles their is a HUGE amount of grease between the bearings packs on the shaft. I assume I need to clean all the old grease out, but then do I need to try and smear more in there? I have the hub apart, should I try and remove...

Ok, I have searched, and I see a ton of folks referencing the act of packing the bearings, but no one explaining how..... I would like to pack my bearings while I have the truck apart, but I dont know what tools I need or what type of grease to buy, since I have never done it. Someone please...
