I have one and it beats having a pipe as a cheater bar when you don't have that pipe or when your buddy borrows it and doesn't bring it back, lol. It's a useful tool as long as you use it carefully as others stated. I won't however recommend it to put the lug nuts back on to tighten down, either...
Paying attention, being aware, and staying defensive at all times behind the wheel saves more lives than any part or safety device alone in a vehicle, imo.
I wouldn't doubt that it has a lot to do with the flow, especially in various climates. That along with the pumps, a water pump being pulley driven may have a lot of belt slippage if that oil is thick due to the cold or causes excessive belt wear, otherwise oil pumps are typically gear driven.
I've heard it a few times from fellas at the bar and from a guy who was drunk telling stories. Then again, people still talk about the multifuels as if they can run on any and everything as if there aren't any limitations. I always take what I hear from strangers with a grain of salt, especially...
I remember the diff cover on my jeep was stuck on, it gave me hell getting it off. I used a medium to large regular screwdriver and a small sludge hammer, I wasn't asking anymore, lol. Some of those silicones are adhesives and can form a very good seal that's a real pita to break.
Wow, I never heard of that before, lol. Interesting to know. If they used oil, how would that compare to cooking oil though? Wouldn't cooking oil have a much lower boiling point?
I've never heard of that before. However one thing I've heard from some vets, when drunk, they would drive their deuce until it nearly ran out of fuel and they took turns urinating in the fuel tank to get back to base.
I personally wouldn't try it. A bottle of coolant additive found at a local...
I might go to this, this oughta be interesting to at least do some looking if anything. Is any other fellas in the area going and if so what day? Im thinking Saturday myself.
I'm not good with all this electrical stuff and batteries, but I know when I get around to making my camper like I want too from a M105 trailer, I plan on just using a good size power bank from Jackyl or Ecoflow and charge it from a power inverter on the truck or even from a wall outlet, but...
The extensions are 22" long. Same width as the actual frame, same height as the frame, but shrinks down to 3.5" or so for the height going into the bumper, but you can measure inside the bumper and inside the frame rail for exact measurements you need once the bumper is off. Here are the pics as...
If it's just a sunshade you're going for, why not just use a canvas tarp and mod it to fit and attach the way you see fit? At least it's easy to work with and things like canvas drop cloths can be had for fairly cheap in case you ruin one or two finalizing a design. A few guys have done that for...
I would recommend adding some led lights on the bumper. At least if you lost the headlights, you can use those. I added some amber flood lights on my bumper and those work better than the actual head lights. I just angled them down a little and towards the center so it doesn't blind on coming...
I always added a couple extra quarts of pure antifreeze when we were supposed to have a really cold winter and never had an issue. Usually the issue comes from the batteries being so cold they freeze and can't provide enough power to turn the engine over. I suggest getting some battery warmers...
I don't remember seeing air like that in the line from the flame heater and it's possible that may be the source of the issue. I suggest deleting the flame heater altogether, that's why my truck got nicknamed crispy, because the fuel line touched the intake and melted, dumping fuel on the...
Even with dirt, there are ways my friend. A few suggestions that may help, the NCstar shooting mat on Amazon, it's like $35-40, it's padded and comfortable for what it is, not only can you use it for shooting, works great as a ground mat and the padding will keep the heat of the sand away from...
I rarely see anything heavier than 16gauge wire at any store or auto shops. McMaster and Amazon are the two places I've ordered most of my wires to replace bad wiring on the deuce and for all the accessories. Amazon has the best deal, I got 6 roles, 50 ft each 14 gauge for under $20, only issue...
Yeah the heat itself shouldn't make a difference so much as those parts are more less hidden from UV. I didn't have friends with MV's around here either for a while,then one day I saw a guy driving a 5 ton around so I took to Facebook on a locals page and asked if anyone knew of the driver. Took...
