A few weeks back my power steering belt popped and must have tweaked the bracket holding the pump. Its been throwing belts ever since. I am getting ready to rip out the radiator to have access to the front of the motor to get accurate measurements to mount it inline again.
I am looking for...
I was wondering has anyone been able to modify the passenger bench seat to be a air-ride? Eventually i would like to upgrade the drivers seat but i would want to do something on the passenger side. I just don't want to loose the bench and have a single bucket on the passenger side.

I just wondering if anyone has done the math to figure out how many gallons per inch these 50 gallon tanks are .
The math is easy but i am not sure if the 50 gallons is where the "do not fill above this line" is or is it the total volume of the tank.
I remember a long time ago their was a video floating around the site that showed a yellow diesel truck that was stuck in a river hauling a trailer and he was able to drive the **** out of it and claw his way out.
anyone have a link to it?
I am reading up on my airpack and inside TM-9-2320-209-34-2-1 it says to reference TM 9-2320-209-20.
I cant seem to find that.
anyhow, for what its worth. my brakes were stuck on. I bled just a small amount from the hydraulic line at the air pak bleeder. brakes released and brake light went...
I just don't understand how people can afford to pay $300 per light for the new 7" round LED headlights. I am sure they are awesome but I don't have $600 kicking around of disposable income for headlights.
If anyone wants to donate a set to me, I wouldn't object.
I know this sounds like a crazy idea and you may wonder why. Let me explain first then I am open to thoughts and Ideas.
When whoever did the lift in my truck to accommodate the 53's seemed to overlook something. The rear of the front tires have almost no clearance to the rear of the front...

About 2 days ago when I was going up a little hill in 4th gear, I noticed the rpm's started to shoot up a bit without noticing it pull any harder. As soon as I felt it I let off the pedal and everything was normal again. Was this a sign of the clutch slipping? It has happened a few times...
About 5 years ago my childhood best friend gave me his original Hurst grip out of his old '68 Cuda. I never did anything with it as I always felt I needed to wait for the perfect project.
Well it hit me today and I knocked it out tonight.
I first had to remove the old line/lock switch and...
I was wondering if anyone has replaced the stock fuel gauge with a non-military one? Besides 24 volts is there any specific important data that needs to be matched up to the sender?
My gauge decided to take a long nap today... so i am looking for a new one. ebay had them $50-$60. I didnt know...
So after some thought and discussion about modifying the torsion bars, I think I need some advanced knowledge about metallurgy. I have been a welder for over 20 years working mostly in aerospace and medical equipment and have a lot of geeky knowledge but i don't know everything.
My existing...
I got some seal questions unfortunately. I think i just lost my front seal on my deuce less than one hr ago. Almost home (about one mile) and I smelled oil. I didn't see anything from the cab when I parked so I let the motor run for a few like supposed to to cool the turbo.
When I got...
I noticed today that my gauge was barley over 0 today. After scratching my head for a second and tapping the gauge face, I shut off the power to see what the needle did. It dropped well below 0, turn on the power and back to where it was just above 0.
Maybe I just need to change the oil and...
Ok, we all know I am new to this and i am not ashamed to admit it.:cookoo: I took the beast for my first real local check-out ride. I quickly remembered how quick 1st gear climbs and seems to not be necessary when empty on flat ground.
It seemed to handle just fine pulling off from a stop...
