I have several thousand miles of M35 driving with a civilian chase vehicle. When I am in the M35 I like the civilian vehicle in front. We always use two way radios. Unless you have an aviation type headset in the M35, you can't hear what the other person is saying. However, they can hear...

Yes, the smaller tires will improve your fuel economy. If you drop your speed down as well. As pointed out above, thinner street tread tires will really help as well. You didn't state if you need to run a higher speed for your drive or what kind of drive it is. All city and or open road...

Dakota Digital states many times in the manual that the temperature sender is accurate only between 100° and 300°. As mentioned a few post up. They publish the Ohm readings for the sender at 100, 200 and 300 degrees. I was told on the phone that 72° should be 850 Ohms. The Ohms go down as...

I agree with you. I have 2 M101A2 trailers and 2 M105A3 trailers. The 105's haven't left my property in a few years. The 101's get used a lot. I camped in mine at the Texas Rally a few months ago. However, at times they are a bit bigger than needed. I had been pestering Kwai for years and...

I just had a student test a redux here in my class. It works. But, I am not sure if it is 12 or 24 volt. No markings. I have another spare redux known 24 v at home as a spare in RED. I got educated on the phone today at lunch. Called Heath about their super duper fan clutch. It only fits...

The flexplate teeth are straight cut.

I have a 12 volt redux on the Cowdog. 12 volt direct drive on the Blue Bomber. 24 volt direct on the M1009 and M715. RED has a 24 volt redux. I have 4 or 5 spare 24 volt direct drive units and I think a single spare 24 volt redux. I will be in B/Cs Thursday afternoon and then all day next...

It isn't ready to get to you yet Joe. Maybe. I found a set of pull off H2 wheels and tires back in January. They are on the Cowdog. Tires are about 50%. There was another set on Craigslist this week. Even better tires. They were in New Braunfels. 98 miles away. Getting them might give me...

When we did RED we got the LMC front and rear as mentioned above. We spent what seemed like forever making the rear inner fender covers actually fit the fender. The mat isn't really molded to fit. I have learned doing the CowDog project that the factory wheel well insulation while useless as...

I put 60 highway miles on it last night. Great road manners. I turned off the TCC lock for 3rd gear. That makes the in town driving much, much smoother with it locking only in 4th. I haven't pushed the turbo above 8 psi or 850° yet. The boost builds really fast and comes on strong so far...

I don't really appreciate being called chicken little. I don't know what kind of long drives others have done in a M1009 at highway speeds. My rear glass slowly settles down. I have found that after a few hours at speed, I will start to get a headache. If I notice it and think about it. A...

No, the Prince of Darkness is not involved in this truck build. I have a '57 MGA and a '67 Cooper S. I can't handle any more Lucas in my life than that. I can't figure out a way to put the TPS on the truck backward either. I re read my earlier post from today and realized I was saying...

The main problem will be exhaust gasses. Unless you can make it air tight, you will poison yourself.

We did the LMC thick rubber floor mat front and rear with the LMC insulation on RED when Colton built it 4 years ago. It has held up very well to high school life. Super quiet inside at any speed compared to all of my other trucks except for the just on the road yesterday Cowdog M1007. The...

There is a shop in LaGrange called American Muffler. Old guy owns and runs it. If you tell him you will be paying in cash when you walk in the door. He is very agreeable. He has made a bunch of bends for me and end flares. I just bend a coat hanger in the shape I need, show up with cash and...

I left work and it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear again. Only at my "max shift rpm" set into the Compushift computer would it shift. I lowered it down to 2,000 rpm and it would shift just fine. Very hard shifts though and if I got below 1400 rpm it would down shift with aggression. Slowing...

The internal wiring harness for the 4L80E showed up Thursday but Colton graduated high school Friday. I had to stay home and host a huge number of relatives and such instead of going to work and getting the Cowdog running. This morning the internal harness was installed along with a new power...

I had the same issues Rich. The smallest hard to find one was at the water pump backing plate to the pump. I think your rate of loss could just be the test pump baffles/seals or even the radiator cap seal on the adaptor. Did you ever figure out the Dalton date code code? It turns out the...

Call Leroy. He sells coolers with that funky non standard GM thread with AN adaptors. I thought you were asking about transmission coolers. Sorry. I think I know what you are asking about now though.

Rich, I used Russel part number 640330 to go from the stock CUCV diesel radiator to -6 AN lines on my transmission cooling system. -6 is 3/8" ID. The Leroy oil cooler AN lines are a lot bigger. -10 maybe? I have them as well.
