I like your analysis but your missing the part about what the rods and bolts are made out of and what their particular tensile strength is. Also the rods and bolts "stretch" a minut amout with each motion. Also their is the recipricating weight that you touched on with the piston weight that...

They work by slowing down the alternator and water pump and such which puts less drag on the motor freeing up power. Most people in the hot rod world don't use them anymore because your losing accessorie efficiency to pick up a marginal power gain. It was a short lived fad. The only real gain is...

I think the older radios should be able to communicate with each other, which I think is what most people have. The newer ones do have a "single channel" mode but it isn't used much.

Most (90%) of all radio communication is done in "frequency hop" and without the current programming you can't listen to it. Each unit has its own programming and it changes weekly. I'm not saying its impossible by some means but to my knowledge its not doable. Your julian date and time also...

A 3/4 ton could be a 12 or a 14. Depends on how it was optioned and what year it is. Google them and you should be able to find an I.D. chart on them and can tell which it is for yourself.

The stock body would be hard pressed to stop anything more than a flying rock. I think something similar to the ceramic/steel/ceramic balistic plates in body armor would be a good start for the doors and other vital areas. I used extra plates attached to the doors and under the seats of a humvee...

I would try to adjust the shifter linkage on the side of the trans before going into the pan. It sounds like it might not be engaging park all the way. Could be that simple.

Finding the TV bracket has been the downfall to my 700r4 swap. I'm debating on making my own. I've also considered a 4l80 w/manual valve body.

I don't want to sound insulting, but are you sure its not the bulbs? I've had 3 cars in 2 weeks come in to work with complaints about lights not working and 2 were bulbs and 1 was a bad connection. One was in an accident because all the brake lights were burnt out......

I had a guy tell me something similar. He said that my slave receptical was a port to plug a NBC detector into that hung off the front of the truck and the "special door seals" made the truck air tight incase of a biological attack. No use arguing with that, I just nodded my head in...

With a "good" locker your tires will chirp at times when making a turn. All of the 5/4 CUCV's had a detroit locker. Only the 10 bolts in the m1009's had the gov loc. The m1028 had a posi unit in the front diff. The m1008's had an open dana 60 front diff and the 09's had a open 10 bolt front...

Not that I can recall. Its been a while since I last drove it though. When it does stumble I notice a puff of black smoke though. I don't know if its overfueling causing the hiccup or if the pump catching back up is causing the smoke.... either way it sucks. I have to get it figured out before...

I'm having some issues with my truck. If i drive my truck at a sustained speed over 45 or so it seems like its running out of fuel. It will kind of stumble and then catch itself and continue to do this until I slow down. I replaced the fuel filter, checked for bad/worn lines, and put a new lift...

I run Opti-lube XPD in every tank. Seems to work good. I can definantly tell a small difference in the way it runs without it.

Freeze plugs corrode from sitting for long periods and improper coolant/water mixtures. If your positive its coming from a freeze plug, you can drain the coolant and put a new freeze plug in and down the road ya go.

I went to buy new rotors for my truck and O'Reilly's said $80 a piece.....it was only $22 to have both turned!

Its normal going up the hill but when I crest it there is a surge in power. I believe it is also rpm related. It spins harder on the highway than any other time and that is when the problem is more prevelant. I got the lift pump but have not had a chance to put it on. I also have noticed a...

Replaced the fuel filter today....no change. I ordered a lift pump. Gonna try that next. I hesitate to think its the injector pump because it drives around town just fine. Its mostly on the highway (higher rpm's) that it does it. Any other ideas?

yes it still has the 4.56, I keep it between 55-60. it does just fine......when its running good
