    NC Weigh Station Requirements!

    I'm from NC... born & raised here.... and I have never seen nor heard of a civilian 1-ton truck getting pulled over for pulling/hauling a civilian load. Ever. I have friends/family members with 1-ton civilian trucks that tow campers, quad and motorcycle trailers, and horse trailers. None scaled...

    manual transmission conversion kit available ?

    Engines have been built for years with thrust bearings on the crank... stick or automatic trans is irrelevant. Slush-boxes balloon their converters & press on back of crank as well. You'll be fine - 'Tanner'

    Am I Nuts?

    CDR valves for 6.2s

    NAPA is an American auto parts store. I've read from GM manuals that the CDR valve is supposed to be replaced at 50,000 mile intervals; similar to a PCV valve, it definitely has a limited service life. Spraying any cleaner into it in order to 'clean it out' is not recommended from the...

    New Hydrogen Tech, very promising

    It'll get bought up by the oil industry & squashed. Where do you plan to store hydrogen? How do you plan to transport it? On-site production? Congratulations - in the volumes needed to fuel vehicles, you've created localized Hindenburgs.... and then you'll have a hard time finding cars to run...

    Un-muffled 6.2

    If the sonic energy theory is true, then a loud, unmuffled diesel should run like a cat shot in the a$$ with a bazooka. Temp drops over the turbine? Okay, how do hot compressed exhaust gasses drop in temp? I was evidently sleeping through Physics class...

    Un-muffled 6.2

    Ahhh yes.... the 'Levi's dyno' comes into play here. I have yet to see anyone from my walk in life that has compared before/after HP/TQ results on their truck when going from factory exhaust to red-neck... errr,.... hot rod exhaust. 'Tanner'

    Un-muffled 6.2

    No real gains in performance on a 6.2 - you hit a point of diminishing returns. And to let you know - the 40 hp increase injectors are a myth. I'll save you some time... 'Tanner'

    Un-muffled 6.2

    More noise doesn't equate to more power, just more noise w/o mufflers. 'Tanner'

    Maryland MV owners are in trouble

    Border crossing? Hmmm... Mexico probably has fewer restrictions on old trucks than the regs in Maryland - but then, the locals might think you're invading. rofl Good Luck! 'Tanner'

    24volt CUCV engine swapped into 12volt 1983 Suburban 6.2

    Find an aftermarket company that offers lift kits for an '83 Burb. HMMWV manifolds will physically bolt to the engine, but may not clear the inner fenders/frame rails of the Burb. Don't forget to install the starter-to-engine-block bracket the is on back of starter -

    Landed my first M37 in Aberdeen

    Unless you live in NC, near AB Linn, White Owl, etc... like I do - :jumpin: 'Tanner'

    am i cheep ?

    Unless you're truly bucking for originality, I'd strongly recommend converting to a dual circuit master cylinder for safety reasons, even if staying with drum brakes. Good effective brakes are kinda important... 'Tanner'

    can you get a rolling HMMWV chassis?

    A buddy of mine sent me that advert with the obviously 'non-HMMWV' vehicle in the photos. But the price is awesome!

    Customize rank??

    Wow... how bad do you have to screw up to get 'Moderator' under your screen name? :mrgreen: 'Tanner'

    can you get a rolling HMMWV chassis?

    You might consider this... 1995 Hummer H1 Alpha :: $12,000 :: AURORA, IL :: Listing ID-261693 :: CarsOnlineFree.com In all seriousness, buying one a piece at a time is a terribly expensive way to do it. Have you considered buying a civvy H1 and some Krylon camo paint?

    Trouble in Iowa with titles

    Funny... I can import a vehicle that is 25+ years old, and not have to meet DOT/EPA/FMVSS standards, but you can't title/register a truck built in the US for mil-use, then sold to a civilian. That's screwed up - luck! 'Tanner'
