    I had some "custom temporary" exhaust bent last week. took an 8' section of 2.5" and bent a 90 and added a $20 turbo muffler. welded the flange back on the manifold end.. muffler sits next to the transfer case. Works for moving it around the yard. I plan on grinding the old welds off the...

    Show Me Your Campers!

    Boat trailer frame #3500 axle with surge brakes. Planning on enclosing the back with plywood and a real door. I will cover that with the original curtain. Couple lights and an electric base board heater. Planning on putting a queen bed and dresser inside. Have a piece of carpet. Have a $79 steel...

    Add in the fact the exhaust crosses over to the passenger side and a flexible pipe is downstream of the muffler, below the stack. If the engine moves a little from torque, the movement is multiplied further you get from the center line of the truck. The mount holding the muffler is a good one. I...

    I thought about that, but I want to see what the manual shows first. It runs and I'm on to the brakes now. Master cylinder came today. It is installed, but not bled yet. Took the exhaust pipe off the manifold too. Gonna bend some pipe Wed morning! Manifold may come off for repair tonight.

    Maccus led me down the right path. The new cork airhorn gasket is thicker. Tapping on the housing and tightening the screws made an improvement. I could get the choke off 50% now. I see where the problem is. I took the cork gasket out and replaced it with a silicone bead. I know it is not right...

    Tore the top off and float looked low so I raised it up. did not change anything. Called maccus. He told me about the shim on the top. I see .090 spamped on it. now I noticed there is no imprinting from the surfaces on the gasket so I know this is a source of a leak. This explaines some of the...

    Well I got the carb back on and it runs different, but horrible. Choke on 100%, no stumble. Open the ckoke a little and it dies. Accelerator pump is now working, but I'm suckin air inside somewhere. May as well start tearing it apart and see what I did wrong. It is not pulling fuel into the...

    Thanks for the heads up. I called and asked, the m35 had one part number, the 211/135 had a different number. I hope it is correct.

    My GMC, a little update

    I can't wait to see the progress.

    My brake peddle goes to the floor. Tried to bleed it and the fluid runs out the end. Thought about rebuilding it, but found a new one for $93 at Oshkosh equipment here in wisconsin. I expect to see it Wednesday. The master looks fairly good. I'll rebuild it for my next truck.

    My GMC, a little update

    I'd try to get enough room so you can take it out if you need to. I'd want at least 1/2 to prevent pressure on the transmission, but that is only my opinion. I'd aim for 1" if you have the room.

    If your referring to that gold coating to keep the corrosion down, I'm not seeing it.

    I'm looking for a fording kit with intent to try it. I just wanna say I did it.

    Well, here are 2 definite problems. The accelerator check valve is stuck and full of hard white corrosion. Had to get in there with a seal pick and carb spray. Took a lot of effort and tapping to get it loose. I suspect the accelerator pump didn't work at all. The power valve well is badly...

    The float is good. the cover over the accelerator pump has a shrunken gasket. Not a vacuum leak, but will let water in. It is interesting there are seals where I have never seen seals and under a gasketed cover to keep the water out of the seal.
