The 90 degree from a deuce does NOT fit. I already tried that ;) Btw, clocking the IP gained enough clearance that a new tach cable should work fine. Mine was worn down, so I had to work it over to make it work. But a new cable should work ok. Seems that the amount of flex the cable is under if...

Fits fine if you use a M101 bed, but requires lengthening if you use the M105 bed.

Hey, I won THREE doing something similar to that.

Great, now I just hope to come see it tomorrow!

Nice! And those ag/tractor style tires are not that bad on there!

Last year's photo. Not a bad shot. Northern CA.

Yeah, I wouldn't care about it charging the battery all that quickly. It would be used for 12v stuff in the cab, and for hauling the occasional civi trailer. Good point about the circuit breaker. I would be drawing all power from the battery, and just using the converter to charge/maintain the...

Ok, general question about all of these setups. I read where they can charge a battery as well, but how well do they actually perform this task? - would like to have a decent charging setup for my extra 12V batteries.

Well, big fat tires let me cruise at 65 mph, and bumped my MPG from 5 mpg to 7 mpg! And if I tow anything, on the bigger steeper hills, I plan on being in low range. That being said, with it in low-5th, and the bigger tires, I am doing around 32 mph up most any hill. Not too bad really!

Holy Cow! That is a lot of cash for some brackets! Maybe I will keep those things I have on the back of my 818! They are bent (don't want to know what they hit or backed into to bend them), and I was just going to pull them off and make my own. Maybe now I will keep them!

I didn't think it was that bad! I have done it twice so far, and I have one more time to go. Not that it is fun, but it is definitely possible with everything in place.

I haven't had time to put a master on the truck yet, but plan on putting a keyed master on it in the near future. It will be both a safety and security measure. I was lucky that I got there in time to pull the cable before I had a melt down like you did. As soon as I figured out what was...

Very nice! So what is the distance from the pin to the outer corner of your tires now? Hmm, 5" less, that means you will not clear the bridges by 1" ? Better hope you don't hit a bump when the leading edge of the dry van starts to go under the next bridge ;) I still remember you posting about...

CHANGE the tire? Not likely. Just do like the military does, and drive them back to a safe location to change them. I you damage the tire enough where you can't drive on it, you have totally ruined the tire anyways. If it is a smaller flat, then you have your own air supply. You can fill...

425A is the newer number, 25b is the older number. If you want to install them on all three heads, you will have interference issues with the hood. It has been rumored that you can install them on the rear two heads, and not have clearance issues. This was my plan of attack, do the two rear...

Here is what the TM has to say about it. Primer pressure gauge indicates pressure delivered by hand primer pump during cold weather starting and used when purging fuel system of air.

You can apply a small amount of air pressure to the fuel tank, and let the air out at/near the IP. But, it is easy enough to FILL the fuel filter up as much as you can, install it, and just start the truck. If it was running before you swap the filter out, it shouldn't be all that big of a...

Just think, she didn't have to move any around of stand any upright! :)

My turn? Fit great, and I can cruise at 65 mph!

Actually, it's not THAT hard to stand them up if they are laying flat on the floor. It is more about getting used to moving the weight, and knowing when to grunt, and when to reposition them. But, at about 500 pounds for each rim/tire combo, do NOT be under them when they fall! You are not...
