FYI order all your filters in bulk from here and you can save some money. Wix Filters & NapaGold Filters: FleetFilter Secure Online Store Also they have filter bases cheap.

Refer to the highlighted and underlined part of my first post, which addresses that.

My second year of college I REALLY considered living out of my 89 Jeep cherokee so I could save some money, and I even went as far as building a bed in the back with roll out drawers under it and things like that. Then I got lucky and found a room in a shared house with some class mates for...

Course thread here also. This is what I was told: If you want to put it together once and never take it apart, then fine thread. If you plan on taking it apart again and again for maintenance or whatever, then course thread.

I see 1150F just above the turbo in the exhaust manifold all the time. I can't expect the temperature to be significantly less at the turbo exhaust. I need a good laser thermometer to check it out.

I had a new mil-spec gasket, but the thin metal is just too thin. I thought I looked at all the available RTVs and none were rated for high enough temp (1250F max). If the copper works I will give it a try though. Edit: just looked it up and the copper is rated for 700F max intermittent...

I recently changed all the seals around my turbo when I installed a pyrometer, and on the turbo exhaust connection, there is a thin metal ring gasket that goes in the connection to the exhaust pipe that is clamped together. This thin metal ring is not cutting it for me, leaking quite a bit, so...

I added a shower drain to the bottom of a barrel and plumbed it from there.

Now don't every one rush out and get one of those at once. I have owned several of those plastic battery disconnect switches over the years and have had a lot of problems with the majority of them. The worst case was when it limited current flow to my vehicle from the battery when it was on...

I had to replace my turbo drain hose. It is a 1" ID silicone hose rated for high temp oil. A hose rated for coolant won't last long there. I found a common 4" long Cummins replacement that just barely is long enough to work: Cummins #3818267 - Cost about $20 at a big truck repair shop and...

Welcome to the addiction! I'm a little ways west of you near Johnstown.

how much would those jack stands cost? is this the same colemans: Coleman's Military Surplus, army surplus. survival gear, hunting, camping gear if that is the place, I could run there myself. will they let just anyone pick through their junk?

its definitely not going to spin them like a built bogger with a big block, but it will haul 5 tons of groceries home and out live you and your children if properly cared for, so there are trade-offs.

maybe it had something to do with the 18 year olds turning the fuel up without regard and driving the trucks like they stole them? I would disregard pretty much everything he said. In the mud, what do you want to do? It is certainly geared low enough to spin the tires through anything, just...

I pulled out of a gas station and my friend's M818 was following me. We stopped at a light and looked behind us and there was a humvee and 2 FMTVs with some national guard guys. We had to pull over a short ways down the road to fix something and they gave us a WTH? look when they passed us...

I have used kero in the past also and found no difference. For some reason, in my area, they really keep an eye on the kero pumps, and I definitely can't pump it right into my truck. I only have one blue can, and a bunch of red ones, so I can't fill the red ones of course since they're not...

Just my 2 cents regarding cutting WMO with gas or diesel. I always use diesel. The price seems to be about $0.40 more per gallon worst case. If I'm making 100 gallons of WMO, I'm buying 20 gallons of diesel. 20 gallons of diesel is only $8.00 more than 20 gallons of gas. It's worth it.

^yes, some things are an aerodynamic brick going either direction :D I learned when I was young that hand guards on an ATV can be ripped off when towing it on a trailer backwards.

I bought a house and I'm closing next week. I can't wait to move in on the first day with my military vehicles and everything. I'm sure there will be some gawkers, maybe even a fender bender.
