It works, but remember that you are bathing the parts in salt. Once you are done cleaning the item, flush thoroughly with water, then use a good preservative oil. Fluid film (product in aerosol can) is absolutely the best preservative you can use on metal. I really don't understand the people...

Did you see the little paragraph about TV signal that was transmitted by laser in a laboratory? How they believe up to 160 channels worth of TV data could be transmitted on a laser? And this was 1963... Funny how we have the illusion that all the things we have are modern ideas.

Your truck is fine. The motor yards on Polk are all in high spots.

Gotcha. Like I said, it looks great. I'm happy with mine, though the colors are just a hair darker than they should have been. It is tough paint though, and hasn't faded at all yet.

I have a whole windshield frame ( bent) that you can have if you feel like trying to straighten it. You'd have to figure out transport though.

Never saw the paint posts before. It does really look great. I noticed he never said which paint he used though. I'm just curious because the shades of each color came out perfect.

That channel is spot welded on. It'll be much easier and more efficient for you to just replace the whole windshield frame. They are cheap and plentiful.

Alright, you win.

I sure am now!

I used a piece of foam rubber mat that used to be a toolbox drawer liner. A little soft, but working fine. Just don't tighten the screws through it when you install it.

My heater works good, and it directs the hot air away from my nads...

Aww man, but it's late, and I'm tired, and I'm lazy too..

Actually from all description so far, these prototype trucks sound like a much better truck than what we actually ended up with. They might have actually been worth having if they had kept the Cat motor. And look what ended up in the LMTV series trucks, and now the new HET, a CAT engine. Why...

Wow Aussie, how far did they take the truck apart? Is the oil pan going to fall off next? What you are dealing with would really make me mad.. if I shipped my truck I would expect to receive it in the same condition that it was in when I sent it off.

Yep, I'm not doing that anymore either... after all the headache and damaged parts on the wrecker after getting it stuck, after getting someone else out screw that.. now with the deuce it isn't a problem, but the wrecker was just too heavy.

I told myself I was going to leave it alone... but you know how it goes. It hasn't been feeling all that powerful compared to my LDT after I turned it up. I have been only getting 10-11 psi boost pressure, and that is with a D turbo. So I was in my shop earlier waiting for the paint to dry on my...

I know the design did come from them in the first place. Maybe he has a rarity??? A trial engine or something? Or maybe they made replacement castings at some point?

Mine acted stupid for a while too, then they straightened up. Gremlins...

Ran a new fuel tank vent up to the breather, fixed my other vent line that vents everything up to the breather box ( cheap zip tie broke and it got too close to the exhaust flex pipe and melted), finally ran a hose from the compressor intake to the breather box, and redid my front bumper...

+1 on that. I've never seen, or noticed one either. Of course, three of my engines are continental, 4 are White, and one is a Hercules, only one is a non TD block, and that is the one I just pulled out of my truck, still running. I ran the crap out of that engine and never had an issue except...
