Yes, I think there were several on the subject. Spin-ons help a good deal, but a pre lube system would be best. Just have to weigh the pro's and con's. I felt for my application, the filter conversion would be acceptable.
With the spin on conversation you have a choice of two styles of filters, one style filter with anti drain back valve and the other without, to have instant oil pressure on start up the anti drain back style must be used.

That is true Ray. I used the check valve type. Seems to work well.

Wasn't there a long running thread on pre oiling systems and pumps for them? And wasn't the need for them negated almost completely with the advent of spin on oil filter conversions?
Yes your right Jeepsinker. After the filter kits came on board there was no reason for all that time and money spent on preoilers.
Quadjeeper, your truck is looking great ! Keep up the good work !

Along the way, I picked up a 105 with a 250 shelter. I plan to use this as my "closet" for the 109, as storage will be at a premium. I pulled the shelter out so I could Herculine the inside of the 105 bed. Then I painted all of it to match the 109. I checked the fit of 11:00x20 XL's, works fine. Need to get some for the trailer now to match the truck.

Lots of good work.

Did the engine bay insulation make a big difference with noise and heat? What material did you use?
Thanks red. Insulation really has helped with the noise, and it isn't even finished yet. Hard to tell with the heat, I think these trucks are hot even without the engine running! I used Dynamat rubber/foam liner in the cab, and hoodliner foam/foil in the engine compartment.

Good to hear on the noise level. Have you thought about repainting those areas using the insulating "micro beads" underneath the mats?
