    M35A 2 versus M54A2 multifuel

    well the M35 your top speed is around 55 MPH and the M54 is around 52 (most say around 45-50) because the trans is not the over drive unit. The 5 ton will be a lot slower off the line and top speed will be lower. Now for the good, the M54 will have power steering, the brakes feel and work much...

    What oil do you run in a 6.2

    I use 15-40 whatever.. oil is oil in a old diesel like that.. now if you were running a turbo I would stick to a over the road truck oil to handle the turbo temp. But if oil is on the shelf at a auto parts store its good enough to run. remember there are not too many people making oil, but lots...

    help dodge ram

    really? ah.. well a different trans and a t case, front axle, springs, prob would be ezer to just get a 4x4 . I mean you could make it but a 2WD frame is not the same as a 4x4 its going to be a fab job

    Mil painting question

    well you could roll it on but really its going to look like ****. you will need to wash and at least skuff up the old paint. it would be cheaper to just get 19 cans of spray paint (yes its 19 for the blazers and 21 for the pu's) and do it that way. if you just want green get some $2 a can spray...

    M813 Thoughts

    I have one... A joy to drive with power steering, good brakes and more power then a deuce. My deuce was a lot faster then my 813 but the 813 will hold its speed better (does not slow down to a crawl on the hills)

    Bad Glow Plug Control Card?

    and for the 2ed time pushing/pumping the "gas" on a diesel engine will do NOTHING. The best thing to do is install a push button as stated above. Its really ez and use the search function and you will find everything you need to do the install. It cost about 10 bucks and will never let you down...
