    Electrical system

    You need one of theses. Mount it on the firewall where it's accessible. Move all wires but the battery wire to the new buss bar. Then run a 4ga wire from the starter terminal to the buss bar.

    Filament to LED Light Bulbs??

    Has the Hive Mind changed out the filament bulbs to 24v LEDs? I'm looking for the Stop/Turn and Marker (tail) lights. From what I can research the Stop/Turn are #1156 and are commonly replaceable with equivalent LEDs that run on 12-24v. The markers, #1251, not so easy... Yes, already converted...

    Coilovers??

    Your truck, you do you, but... Why? I'm doing resto-mods on mine but they are centered around safety.

    Electrical system

    I have great results with ANCOR Marine wires. Available via Amazon in various colors, lengths, sizes. Have used ANCOR exclusively in boats and recently have done a lot of wiring in the M37.

    Headlights OR parking lights ???

    Thanks! Your hint on jumping the wires at the flasher helped me figure out what's wrong. The flasher is bad, for one. The wiring was incorrect, it was also labeled incorrectly. I ran out of time with one issue left. When the right directional is on the left also is on. Deep diving into the...

    Headlights OR parking lights ???

    I'm neither OCD, nor does NC require it. I just thought it odd the front yellow lights (whatever the proper name is) did not work when the headlights are on. It's either one or the other, not both. I will eventually wire them up but that's lower on the 'ToDo List' right now. My priority is...

    Headlights OR parking lights ???

    I'm connecting up the front lights and came upon a dilemma... While testing, are either headlights OR parking lights on? As in one or the other? Are they both on at any switch setting?

    Oil Bath Air Cleaner Gasket?

    I'm trying to find what gasket is used under the oil bath air cleaner between the mounting sleeve. There's no reference that I can find. Make one? Cork. Rubber, Leather?

    Should be but Ah, that's kind of a temp mount. You might also check the ground connection. Not seeing what going on that could also be a contributing factor.

    It might be over pressuring the float valve. Research the pump pressure and if it's above 3-5psi then install a pressure regulator. Also, it's best to rewire so the pump is energized when the oil pressure is present. I have a switch to manual prime to help when changing filters or needing to...

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    No, not yet. I still have plenty more to do before that. I have seen those size tires on an M37 and that's what I have as a 'must do'.

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    So true. I'm researching this same topic which is how I came up with the 315. I also found another tire but you loose even more OD (~2"): 255/85R16 @ 33.1" (6.5" min rim recommended) vs 315/75R16 @ 34.6" (7.5" min rim recommended)

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    Minimum recommendation is 7.5". I've seen them on the 6.5" and they are not pinched. Being on a smaller rim is safer than too wide a rim where you can get bead separation (unless inflating high PSI). High PSI has its own issues. Granted that you will need to run the PSI as to not roll the...

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    The best I've found is 315/75R16 Looks good on the standard rim, not pinched.
