Best bang for the buck with an NA 6.2 would probably be to shed weight, add an overdrive, destroy the lethargic TH400 in trade for something with a lock up converter, go to a 5 speed manual, add turbo. I really think this propane thing is a waste of time and effort for not much gain. Plus you...

I don't see any advantage to running propane on a NA diesel other than possibly gaining a more complete combustion process (which is complete speculation on my end). Without some type of forced induction, the stock 6.2 will only make as much power as the fuel you put into it. Meaning the point...

Pretty rust free truck for PA! I dig the turn signals integrated into the grille like the quad headlamps have, then putting some type of aux light in its place. Hmmm.....

The 205 has no planetaries since it is gear drive. Even though the NP241 has 6 planetaries which is pretty rugged for a chain drive tcase, you still can't compare them. I personally think your best bet would be to just bite the bullet and pay the premium for the NP205 the way you want it.

Fitz: Yup, all set with higher taxation only to be told that I can no longer have certain freedoms that we are suppose to have by being US citizens CGarbee: Thank you! What do you do for work? I would try to attend but being I just dropped $300 in fuel to come down here, another $400 for...

NH and ME are awesome! I spent the last ten years of my life living there and if it weren't for a new job opportunity I'd still be kicking it in New England. All of this with exception to Massachusetts. That communist state can burn! The Mainship is powered with a single Perkins turbo diesel...

I've always stuck with OEM Spicer greasable joints because they last the longest and are typically strongest for not much more money but could never source them locally except for Robins or Federated parts store. Even then they are never in stock.

Nope The 79 Mainship 34 weighs about 15,000 pounds. The 6.2 had a hard enough time with itself coming down. Realistically, any man only needs what is in that photo...a boat, an MV, and maybe a small arsenal or firearms :D

All moved in to an apartment, not a big fan but need to live a simple life while taking a new job with a start up company. This will be permanent as long as the company grows. Eventually I would like to bring my boat down and live on the water again. Until then my Cuck Vee is parked in a swarm...

Made it going 55mph and 13.5mpg Only victims were my back, the coolant reservoir, and some choppy unbalanced Goodyears!

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?103497-Documented-Curt-14082-Receiver-Hitch-install-on-my-M1031 The Curt hitch did require some modifications but I did not have to cut the bumper up. It was more like trim a couple of rivet heads and shackle tubes.

I know someone sells an aftermarket in line air filter. I would probably go hunting in a junkyard first for an OEM one. Ford and I think BMW used a lot of cylindrical ait filter housings.

When it comes to higher education, it seems to be hit or miss with instructors. Has nothing to do with age, background, experience, etc. You either get some real geniuses or garage drop outs. I've met some really talented instructors in my day but also some dubs that shouldn't be working with...

Sure thing...no worries either way Frank: What type of MV do you have?

If I could be down by the 23rd, I'm fine with that. Any further out and I'm stepping on toes. Where are you moving to in NC?

I really have no planned route other than to stay out of NYC. If I venture into PA and run inland instead of I95, I know I have to fight mountains instead of traffic. If I run mid day through that neck of the woods, I will go I84 and throughout NJ. I'm really game for anything. What is your...

Unfortunately I have no idea what kind of work schedule I am getting into but I certainly will go if time permits. Thank you

I will be packing up my M1031 and going from Portsmouth, NH to Wilmington, NC the third week of August for new employment. If anyone is going to be on a seacoast route southbound (no NYC, F the GW tolls) I would be more than happy to convoy. I plan to be cruising between 55-65 mph but can keep...

Since the response to the OP has been modified to accommodate users with low self esteem and we as a forum basically bitch slapped him, told him his TM searching sucks, then said he is welcome and have a nice day...unacceptable in my opinion. That is not representing the forum I want to be a...

It only explodes the starter, melts any associated wiring, and leaves you stranded when the relay fails...not a big deal. Not like the ignition key shuts off killing you ;) Its a known problem and if you haven't fixed it immediately upon purchase you are either "driving a grenade with the pin...
