I am using the top of a large cottage cheese container to keep my intake sealed. Obviously doesn't work for running, but the engine isn't installed in the truck yet. I'll be doing that next week. Ace, when your air cleaner becomes available just PM me. I just can't find them here. Much...

You forgot beer runs!

Henderson, what are your plans for your trucks as far as useage? DD's or just weekend toys? I would love to see one fording.

Wow, you must be retired! Working on it every day like that. :D Are you going to do carpet or padded vinyl? I will be doing the same, but can't decide on what to use. I think the short nap gray carpet looks really nice. Whichever one of us gets around to doing it first, a tracing of the floor on...

I am not sure, but it sounds like he was unhappy with how the previous owner mounted the 5th wheel, so he is remounting it. I forgot to add, Blizzard. You said the search function for the forum was not working. I do not use it myself. Instead, use google. I use it daily and find it is a...

If anyone wants info on doing the swap, just PM me and I would be more than happy to talk the details over with you on the phone, provide pictures, take measurements, etc. Since your M215 weighs less and has some well matched 11.00 tires, you can expect to see a minimum of 15mpg. I hope to...

Anyone know who sells the air cleaner housings for the 6.2's? I just can't find them anywhere, i'd like to get the cottage cheese lid off my intake. :lol:

I cannot afford either a 6.2 or a 6.5 turbo. I've seen the Multifuel turbo kits sell for under $250, and of course making custom intake's and pipes is always easy using PVC and rubber boots to connect pipes. After looking up the numbers, I don't think it would work. The Multifuel will use about...

As I said, it will be matched to Aervoe 24087. It's a darker OD with less brown than the Gillespie. But still darn nice looking with plenty of brown in the sunshine. I believe I will go with flat or satin. I have not decided yet. To be honest, this 20 year boy is TIRED of sanding and doing body...

It can be very nerve wracking standing on that cheater pipe. I do not enjoy it. I thought I would. I don't. A geared wrench is on the list too. :lol: That is fantastic to hear you are going to use yours as a DD. I am happy to hear there are other nuts out there like myself. Course, it helps to...

I was wondering if the Multifuel turbo could be used on a Military 6.2? Why would and why wouldn't it work? It would sure sound sweeet.

After sanding my M211 back down I am going back to Behr myself. First I tried rustoleum "army green". Didn't like that. So I went with Valspar matched 24087 (flat) and brushed darn near the entire truck with it. Stayed with that for a few weeks then decided the brush strokes made it look like...

Wait a minute, does your truck have a blue engine?

Yahoo! GIT R DONE! A pallet jack is a good investment, I hate removing those big lug nuts because all I have for now is a 40" breaker bar. Some of mine were torqued to over 1000ft lbs by some trigger happy idiot. I had to use a 7 foot copper cheater pipe to break them loose. About sling shotted...

Yeah, the can holder is supposed to sit like that since the running boards taper. My truck came with a 1944 Cavalier Water Can. A bit rusty inside, but it too cleaned up great on the outside. I was going to stencil "Miller Light Only" on the side. :lol: I'd kill a rabbi with a pork chop to...

I am digging the **** out of that hard top. Got any close up pics of it?

Cool! The leak at your wheel is caused by the cork keyway gasket on the hub spindle leaking. This is the only thing that keeps gear oil in the axle housing and out of your bearings. So if it goes, your bearings get a nice oil bath. The only way to detect this leak is if it makes it's way onto...

So is a single 5" the recommended size for a NA 6.2 or will a single 4" do just as good? There seems to be a lot of debate on this, but the general consensus with diesels is the less back pressure the better.

I want to get a van body truck someday but man, they can be a real job to tear down and rebuild. Lots of stuff under those walls.

Wow, sounds like your doing a thorough clean up and restoration. I know a lot of folks are just fine with the old "rode hard and put away wet" look that so many GMC's have these days. I was fortunate enough to find a GMC that was extremely clean with virtually no mud or caked on crap anywhere on...
