No fuel return lines on the GMC's (except mine of course!) so if the key was left on they would flood the carb. Of course, if the key was left on you should here the low air buzzer with empty air tanks. :lol: It's either not plugged in or is broken, the later seems normal for a lot of these. I...

About 2650rpm at 45mph 3200 at 55mph with 9.00's. The only roads I take that are 55mph around here is when I go to my uncles or the shooting range which is 40 miles round trip. And I only shoot a couple times a year these days. So it will all work out okay afterall. I guess I just got a little...

This is an old, but great thread. Anything over 3600rpm is pushing it, nevermind 4000+. But these will go much, much higher. 6.2 Diesel tractor that turns 5500rpm. The Diesel Page, Readers Rigs Or the legendary Bill Heath who made a 580hp and 780ft lb 6.2 diesel that turned 4700rpm. He...

Well it seems there was some initial confusion, actually I forgot to include the 16% transfer case underdrive in some of my RPM calculations. I will be turning 3200rpm at 55mph. This is a little dis concerning. I am now seriously considering a 700r4 swap. I talked with Tom at Alfa Heaven and he...

No, but I plan to before it leaves the yard. As I have stated in previous posts, the 6.17 axles make for some very light engine and transmission work.

Well that plow is frigging sweet. Takes 2nd place for the coolest looking add on i've seen. The 1st would be a guy here who has an M211 excavator. He's topping out at 40,000lbs!! Amazing what 130hp and some gears will do.

Thanks a whole lot, Dan! I will be on the lookout for the parts. In the meantime i've turned some much needed attention towards the inside of the cab. First I secured a tarp over it to keep it weatherproof from here on out.

Wayne, could you tell me how your running your rear tires on the truck? Did you just remove the outside tires or did you figure out some way to flip the GMC hubs?

The lights are red to reduce illumination in the cab during blackout conditions, as well as to aid in keeping your night vision compared to looking at white lights. It was 46 degrees tonight and I was freezing my nuts off. Your one sick cookie to be working out there in this weather.

If you use a quality paint brush it will come out really nice, I just opted for the sprayer because I wanted a rough texture.

Now that is cool to know!

Dave, here are those cab pictures you wanted. To be honest, it doesn't really need anything aside from the roof panels, a top and a new center floorplate. It looks like it's missing stuff, but I have the cab gutted of all the dash components, drivers seat (new vinyl!!), and any electrical items...

Hey Jim! Thanks for the compliments! Dave (M1010plowboy) is considering making a stop to Yuma sometime. He's been so very gracious in offering to help me and give me parts that I need! The best part of the project is all the cool people I have met and all the knowledge I have gained. 1 year...

If your asking if it would keep it from sun rotting, sure. A lot of people down here paint PVC pipe that sits outdoors to keep it from sun rotting. Works great, just make sure the herculiner is not a super smooth finish. Being a bedliner, it's probably quite porous so any paint should adhere...

When it doubt, go with the TM! Thanks for clarifying, as much as I wanted to believe my Army 6.2 made that much power I knew there was something up there. :lol:

Would you be so kind to point it out? Google has failed me.

The M998 manual states the NA 6.2 makes 150hp at 3600 and 260ftlbs at 2000rpm. Wikipedia and ForgottenDiesels page both state the "Army" 6.2 makes 165hp at 3600rpm and 330ftlbs at 2100rpm. Why are these numbers so far apart?

Any updates on this project?

Or you could just top coat the bedliner with your BEHR. :beer:

Thanks for the tip! Looks like a Wix51794 or a Purolator L40048. That will take care of the extra oil capacity issue. After being inside the compressor already I don't think it will use more than a half quart. So the 2q oil filter will work great. EDIT: Just to confirm this I looked at the...
