What are you guys doing to get the metal particles out of WMO?

Me too! Installing a new NOS cab on Mah Deuce. Just got it back from the sandblaster, where I had it stripped and primed.

I was just thinking about something flexible like PEX because I'm a little bit concerned about hanging a bunch of copper tubing down into the tank and leaving it to dangle, unsupported. Seems like it would be prone to getting work-hardened and fail. I'll give some more thought to insulating the...

Agreed. Watch their demo video. The wheel/tire vibrates awfully bad until it gets up to speed.

Not exactly sure what I might do to retain heat in the tanks. Probably not going to worry about it until/unless it's a problem. To start off, I think I'm going to install one of these coolant heaters in each of the fuel supply lines, before all the filters. I know that the tanks will also need...

Ed, I just had a thought about those 5-ton valves. I was thinking those were exactly what I was looking for, but as I'm starting to make line drawings to figure out how to plumb everything, I'm having second thoughts. When I'm feeding the engine from the diesel tank, I'll want to return the fuel...

The physics behind the idea is solid.

Just called Centramatic and talked to Jerry. He's not sure if their wheel balancers will fit, because the 6 on 8.75" models they make were designed for disc brake applications. He wanted to know what size brake drums are on these vehicles, and I didn't know what to tell him. Figured somebody...

I was going to say the same thing. Always liked the idea of the Centramatic system though.

I thought all the A3 trailers had dual wheel-cylinders and were self-adjusting? Haven't actually taken mine apart to service the bearings and brakes yet though...

Been talking with the people at Magnom about their magnetic filters. Evidently, they're able to remove 99% of all ferrous metals from just about any type of fluids. It's not a mesh/media-type filter, so they're not rated in microns, but I was told that they can/will reliably filter down to less...

Uh.... yeah. Really Scott?

Good idea. I like that a lot more than the way I've seen some other guys reinforce the tops (thicker steel plate).

Was that on sale or something? Sure that price wasn't for a quart?

Just turn the heat WAY up...

Aren't those axle-plates and link-mounts forged? If so, you could just chop them up and weld them right to the axlehousing...

Or just leave the deuce axles and add driveshafts...

Really? Mmmmmm, not sure about that.

With as many people that are bobbing these things, I've gotta believe that if you can't find the rear suspension, you're not looking hard enough (or in the right places). Maybe start by contacting 100dollarman?

My Grandpa put a HUGE Cat motor in an old Suburban. Forget exactly what it was, but it was really freakin' big. He had to have custom springs made, and was never able to find a rear axle with a high enough gear ratio to take advantage of all that torque. He told me he guessed that something like...
