Ive been chasing an antifreeze consumption issue since day one. This was resolved this week with a brand new zero mile crate motor. In addition, the tranny was dumping fluid out the front input shaft. That was fixed with a government rebuilt tranny. I should be ok mechanicaly, running wise, for...

Here is another picture as I arrived at work today. I now have full oil pressure of 30psi at hot idle on the dash sending unit, after teeing it off with a underhood mechanical gauge. I can only assume that cleaning the sending unit returned it to proper operation, as before, I was reading 0...

Heres the direct link. http://www.westernfilters.net.au/4-air-raminlet-102mm-4/

The cap was $ 105 shipped.

I painted and installed the snorkel tonight. I welded the original exhaust clam shell bracket to a standard 4 incher for the snorkel. This way, it eliminates one clamp. I ordered the cap from Australia. I still need to mod the exhaust shield to fit over, and reinstall the flapper. I...

Hitch installed. I originally intended to also support it to a crossmember as well for the braking forces, but this isnt going anywhere as is.

Its three pieces. The drivers side, passenger, and tunnel. The sides of the tunnel that run down are glued to the top piece. I made it to be removable as water can still find its way under.

I did the tunnel sides with it too. Heres some pics.

One mat covered the floor and the center. Barely, with none to spare. Ill post pics of it finished tomorrow. It probably dampens some noise, but its tough to say how much really.

Found some time today to work on my truck. I first teed off the oil pressure fitting to install a mechanical gauge as well. In the process, I arced the solenoid and melted a wire to the starter. Luckily, nothing was damaged other than the melted 6 gauge wire which acted as a fuseable link. I...

Thats a good idea too. I have access to a monster sized pipe wrench.

Great. Thanks dan.

Anyone know what size the castle nut is on the back of the pintle? I have a hitch adapter from TM America that bolts up there, and need to order the correct socket to remove that huge nut.

Picked up a used playscape off craigslist this past weekend for my kids. Using the deuce makes the experience that much better. Better allows me to justify owning the truck to my wife when I can pick up cool stuff for the kids.

So I got it all buttoned up and ran it. I think it leaks out the front hoses and the fan just evaporates it. Im gonna just drive the thing and stop looking for problems.

The pressure goes onto the radiator cap.

I don't follow. What do you mean? I pressurized the coolant system revealing hose leaks. If I had a head gasket leak causing coolant to find its way into the combustion chamber, it should have come out the injector hole. No? I have no evidence of coolant on the dipstick.

Picked up the radiator pressure tester from harbor freight for 70$ Actually a pretty nice kit. I only need a small portion of it though. I pulled the injectors and pressurized to 10lbs and let it sit for a couple hours. Results? Hose leaks. No coolant in the cylinders. I cranked it and...

The plug on the front of the ip was a real pain to get to. The winch drive shaft was in the way. I also disconnected the oil pressure gauge and put a mechanical gauge in its place. Ill tee it later. I was getting 0 psi at hot idle with the stock gauge setup. The mechanical gauge shows 20 at...

Not yet. I've been eyeing the harbor freight kit for $85 though. So I drove it around today again. Didnt really see a fluctuation in the coolant height. I am now parking it in the same spot to check the height. I didnt take it down the highway though. I realized that my dam manifold heater is...
