Be careful with adding too much water. If you get too much your compression will go up and blow head gaskets at the least and could also cause major engine damage at worst.
This is dead wrong. Red dyed (off-road) fuel is illegal in every state in the union in any vehicle used on public roads. I would love to know where you got this info.
Evidently some aren't.
Posting running dyed fuel in a public forum is just a bad idea. Most people wouldn't post that they...
I've done what Kenny has suggested several times. When I get bored sometimes I'll "troll" the classifieds. I check to see how long it's been since the member has logged on. If they haven't been around for over 8 months or so, I hit the commit button. You still miss a bunch doing that but I don't...
There is a school of thought that says synthetics are too slippery and is hard on the syncros.
I'm not going to inject my thoughts in this thread as I have many times in the past (you can find it if you search) and don't want to start another oil debate. best thing to do is to search the...
I'm no computer person but it doesn't seem like it would be very hard at all do just disable the "auto-renew" option. That would put a stop to the run-on adds then and there.
The hopping you feel on hard surfaces in 4X4 or 6X6 in a turn has very little to do with the front "fighting" the back. What causes the hopping is the velocity change in the axle u-joint. Whenever a standard u-joint is at any angle other than straight the velocity changes each revolution. the...
It would be different than driving a front wheel drive car. They have CV joints on the axle shafts.
The deuce will try to hop in the hard turns on pavement and it's kind of hard on the knuckle u-joints but it can be done.
Coldwarrior, I seem to remember a drawing by gringeltaube that showed...
Yes, it sounds normal.
Once you get that pyro installed you may can play with the fuel a little but that's it. These trucks are just slow and underpowered by modern standards. In the time they were designed they were par for the day.
That's not thinking outside the box. Anybody with a fair amount of mechanical skills can yank a V8 out of a old Ford and replace it with a small diesel engine. He talks like in the vid that it's something revolutionary to put a diesel engine into a pickup. Those trucks probably get good mileage...
Ok I'll bite. What do the automakers stand to gain by decreasing MPG in newer vehicles?
CSM Davis, The fuel cell car does use hydrogen but it doesn't make it from water like the HHO generators do. I've got a paper on the fuel cell. It's been a while since I read it but it basically uses...
If the figures you list are true (I have no reason to believe they aren't) I would imagine it has to do with all the emissions on the newer cars (government mandated). There is no conspiracy though.
The fact still remains that if you put a HHO generator on either car you'll be wasting your...
:ditto:
They could also be "camed over" if they are worn badly. What happens is the brake cam can go too far if the brakes are worn out causing the wheel to lock up. To fee it you need to back off the slack adjuster and give it w whack with a hammer to get it to release. It will more than...
It always surprises me that all these snake oil salesmen always tell you that there is some sort of conspiracy with the automakers as to why they don't use these "fuel saving" devices. The government is constantly breathing down their throat for higher MPG and high MPG is the major selling...

I bet 100 bucks it's a 5.
With that frame number it's not a '55 REO either. More than likely a early '70s Kaiser Jeep, General Products Division, or AM General.
Just got back and had a good time. Found out Sun is great for the crowds but some of the tables did seem bare. All a came home with was some 5.56 tracer. There was a guy there selling some MV stuff. He's a member here but sorry I don't remember his name.
Funny thing is I got stopped by a cop...
