Ya I know, ill pull the cover off it again maybe tonight and take a couple pushrods out and compare them. I have calipers but nothing long enough to measure them with, so ill just have to compare them. Even if it is a flat tappet cam I should be able to out one new lifter in right? I know...

Are the lifters easy to get out? can I just pull it up threw the head threw the pushrod hole? If its the pushrod I would think the adjustment i made would be ok. a lifter would be alittle different. I only put maybe 500 miles a year on it so I'll see how its runs around town for awhile. Thanks...

no I didnt pull it all the way off so I didnt get to check that part. Ya I know, The rocker arm didnt look bent either. I Know its not in the valve or pushrod, unless somehow the pushrod colapsed. I looked at it and it looked spot welded on the sides. So unless those let go and it jammed it in...

Ya I checked them, the lifter end was nice and smooth and shinny, the top was nice and clean also. No grooves or gouges. Its just that I was looking at every other rocker and they all have alot more of the adjusting screw showing. I thought at first the valve was stuck open alittle, but I...

ok got a chance to look at it. I just finished putting it all back together. The 3rd valve from the rear of the engine was really lose. The lock nut was tight but im talking .250? I checked the pushrod and it was nice and straight, it spun freely. I adjusted it and got it really close. I did...

Nice job, I have a ah "work in progress" but its usable. I really like the rv table and bed combo. How wide is that? I have a couple of pics of mine on here somewhere. Is the generator loud enough to keep you up at night being right under your bed like that? Can I ask why you went with such a...

Ok thanks, ill check the valves first, then look at the head baskets. I did have oil around the oil fill cap which I never had before. I assumed ( hate that word lol ) that I broke a piston and the blow by pushed it out there. I run straight diesel from the pump. But I did pour about a gallon...

OK I took my m109 on a 280 mile road trip this weekend, used it as the rv I turned it into and everything was great. Well about 20 miles from home I stopped for a cold drink and heard a knocking sound, Thought at first it was a rod but the thumping is coming back out the intake. I drove it home...

Travis if I go it would be saturday morning. It all depends on how muck I can get done before then. I should know more by friday. Bill I meet you last year at the show, and you looked at my 109 for me up in grayling, thanks. The only thing thats going to stop me is if I get the extra braces...

lol ok I'll have to rember that. And thanks its still a work in progress. but it goes up and down just fine with the winch, and I can put it up by hand if need be. I am working on it now trying to get it ready.

ok just to be clear you guys are ok with new guys showing up? yes. We can sleep in the truck, yes. no registration fee. And I can leave it for a couple of hours, yes. ? Sounds great. I have to take two pallets of flooring out of the back this week. and reinforce the boards for the deck but I...

How are you guys with new guys showing up? lol I am trying to get my truck done, not sure if I can make it or not. I have to work friday night and I get out around 4am sat. and I would have to leave around 8 pm saturday for a couple of hours to take the GF to a show at the casino. Is it ok to...

I bought mine just under a yr ago. I bid on a m109a3 and won it for $1550 but turns out its a M185. Same truck just a different name I guess. Tack on GL fees licence reg, ins. close to $1800 into it. The recovery was easy I pulled up to the yard and it was already running. I gave it a quick once...

Ok I have a m185a3 with the na multi with mid exhaust lol, it goes from 4" into a muffler and out into 3". I want to change it to a stack setup due to the sute I have all over the back of my truck. Any sugestions on hwo to conver it? anyone have one there parting out or throwing away? All I...

Yes it is, I have a 30 gal tank that I sit under the truck. The hose comes out right above the fuel tank. But next year when I have the shower in I think i'll just run the shower hose down to a hole in the ground :roll: . I picked the truck up at the end of sept. and did as much as I could...

Here are some of mine. Its not done but I have used it this last fall for deer season and stayed in it for 2 weeks with no problems. I have a 12k btu furnace that I took out of a rv and just about everything else thats "rv" came out of one. I have less than $500 in parts into it right now...
