Been building a shed, and working on roofing it right now. While the neighbors are using their ladders and step stools, I smiled at them and pulled my mobile scaffold up to my project. :-D
My girlfriend helped too! [thumbzup]
These things have so many uses, I love it...
Anyone going to Cummins Rocky Mountain Truck Fest in Denver on 08/02/09? Thinkin' about drag racing the deuce (the multi, not the gasser; I want to run better than a 50 second quarter)....:cookoo:
After a 35 mile trip home the other day at 45 mph average (last 9 miles at 50-55mph), I got the infrared thermometer out and read temps on a few things.
Ambient temps were 50°F-60°F.
Here's what I found:
Hubs: 95°F - 110°F
Diffs: 110°F
T Case: 186°F:shock:
What the heck is with the T-Case...
It's not me on the bike, I just provided the big green metal thing.:mrgreen:
Another view. Interesting to film.
No Deuce in this one, just entertainment value.
Well, I have wanted a deuce for ten years. The right deal finally came along - it's not a diesel, and I'm a diesel guy, but this gasser is growing on me. I picked it up a couple weeks ago.
I have been lurking on this site for quite a while now, thanks for all the info so far!
I think I need...
$800 is a steal!
Upgrade the governor spring in that VE, it'll fuel to around 3200 rpm. Also, advance the timing; the B really runs great at about 18º, IMO. They come stock at around 12º.

I assume it came out of a Dodge pickup?
'89s are rated at 160HP and around 400FTLBS.
They can be turned up easily, but are really limited by the VE injection pump.

There are quite a few aftermarket products available...
Thanks for the quick response guys! This site is awesome!
Good point clinto.
I hate gas motors more than the next guy. Consequently, one of the things that crossed my mind is repowering with a Cummins 6BT. Would that affect the value negatively? Not trying to make money off the deal, just...
Hello, new guy here, got a question...
What is this M35 worth? Speedo says 41K miles, runs, all is functional as far as I know. Cab has rust in the seemingly usual places, nothing too serious.
Thanks in advance!!
