The ambient temperature for the before pic(93) was 47*F The ambient temperature for the after pic(83) was 72*F

The results of the floor covering are in... Huge decrease in interior racket and heat transfer. I can hear the engine through the open window... not through my feet into my skull. Also, no more heat radiating up from below when not wanted. before after

http://www.thedieselpage.com/62book.htm http://www.thedieselpage.com/62bookii.htm I just got these two books. Lots of good stuff covering pump tuning and stuff.

I just happened to have mine out. It is indeed a 12x1.75x35mm with a hex head 22mm(7/8") They are, however, slightly swaged into a triangular cross section that acts to lock them in place. It may well be a common "seat belt bolt" You might want to use locktite on any non-swaged replacements

I just got one roll of each as I was most interested in covering the front footwell that droned horrendously and the heat from the tunnel. I layed the thinner peel and seal strips on the outer areas of the footwell. Three strips on each side used that whole roll. I layed the thicker duct foam...

While everyone else is freezing, today was up to 79 and a good day to try to install the LMC truck vinyl floor kit I got for Christmas. Between the heat and the droning of the floorboards, I also layed in some poor mans dyna-mat. One roll each $17 and $19 respectively from lowes. This was...

I wish they made a rectangular version of this light with the faceted lens... The ones that I see on the market look cheese-ball. These are the only LED headlights that I like the look of.

I'm not a big fan of the look, or the cost of the trucklites. I went with Autopal E-code Cibie knockoffs and a cheap relay conversion harness. Not quite $50 total investment and huge improvements.

I did that once. It makes sense for all to be clear. Trick is finding worthy materials.

I see you are in Texas...What size tires are you running?

I just got a set of dormans finest as recommended by cucvrus. I got them from summit racing. Part numbers 625-154 @$26.97 and 625-155 @$24.97 I'll see how they fit one of these next few weekends

Finally ran my new cold air setup(mil spec(?) AC filter w/pre-filter) on a thunder run down I-10 going to work yesterday. It "seemed" to make much better power past 55MPH. The best it ever did was 60 at the merge of a long uphill entrance ramp. Yesterday it was up to 70 and still gittin it...

Good stuff. Thanks for posting Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Motor mounts were the first priority as the lift pump and lines were resting on the frame. The bushings are next. Just got the last parts. Body mounts are in surprisingly decent shape. Still pliable and rides nice, The sway bars are holding their own. Definitely at the end of...

The Air Inlet Tube(snorkel hose) Isn't necessary but its a good thing to have. Power and efficiency and all that... The factory unit for the civilian trucks has a large, restrictive looking "silencer" chamber that is mainly for Federal noise emissions and owner noise objections. I'd be willing...

Had time and motivation enough to install my ORD steering brace. Test drive tomorrow will tell if it improves the steering feel any or just wards off the crack gremlins

Whenever I weave up a new whole wiring harness, I find it helps bigly to have a 4x8 sheet of plywood and saw horses to lay out the old harness section and remove one wire at a time and recreate a new harness side by side.

Some states/localities require a visual inspection of emissions equipment. The cold air duct and the early fuel evaporation (EFE) systems that are usually incorporated into the intake do affect emissions and are an easy fail if it looks like its missing. All cucvs look like the intake ducts are...

The battery situation is how I got it from the P.O. The trays are original. The P.O. cut away most of the original huge hold down top brackets to just those two strips with some inner tube rubber isolators. They hold pretty good so I haven't messed with them...yet.
