Looks like a lot of good advice here. I can add that you will be in the wrong country when it come to buying a Saracen part. Shipping parts is expensive. The tires are special 12.00x20 run flats, hard to find. At 12 tons it is about 2-1/2 times the M35 towed rating w/o the trailer. The...

Boost will add stress to the rod but only compression stress, this is where the rod is very strong. It would not have much effect on the bolts or cap. If you look at SS tractor pullers they run up to 250psi manifold pressure. Failures are common. While often it is hard to tell what broke this...

Your Handling would be fine, like its not back there. Remember the deuce's legal combined highway load is 10,000lb (bed) plus 10,000lb (towed, though a few were 12,000 towed, check you data plate) The TM states that 45mph is the max allowed speed but I have found that 55 is comfortable. The...

I have a vericom. I will check next time I am out. Might take a rainy day as they salted the roads yesterday and I won't drive it in that. I'd loan it to a local member, works on anything though some deuces will need to have a 12v bat set next to it (mine has 12v avail at the dash. Tools like...

I drove a commercial tractor trailer for 25+ years. 90% Macks. The early years w/U models, the bulk with CH/Vision's using strangled EM7-250 or 315s. In all those years, with many dozens of co-workers, I only -heard- of one internal engine failure. Some new guy managed to grossly...

Maybe for a deuce. I don't have much experience with springs. I remember when I first rebuilt my 70 GTO 400 (30y ago), those 130K mile springs all measured 50-80lbs seat pressure. The factory spec was 100 or 110. The lesson learned was always replace them. I don't even test old springs now, just...

I don't think anyone needs to worry about rod/rod bolts getting weak due to age. Tightening a bolt is a stressful but not repetitive, hopefully, lol. No fatigue there. Since bolt is designed to fall short of its 'yield point' , even when running, it will remain stable. Flex under...

Page 54 or the LDS-465-1 Troubleshooting Manual states there are two types of pins, hollow and solid, an that they can be used in various engines as long as they are a matched set. As they are most likely made of them same material they should have different weights. Apparently balance isn't...

Chuck makes many good points. The bolt tension during operation is added to the tension on the assembled bolt. Over-tightening increses this tension even more, as does excessive rpm.

Metal is a lot stronger in compression than tension. Power compresses the rod (where it is strong). The piston reversal at TDC puts the rod and rod bolts in tension. As RPM increases the force increases at an exponential rate. The crankshaft rotation after TDC on the intake stroke puts the...

Driving big trucks is easy if you stay focused. Driving 25 years without an at fault accident is not. Driving in snow is fun but demanding. Driving loaded is a lot different than driving empty. Equipment failures tend to be more dramatic. The road test is easy if you know what you are doing...

Don't forget to update the bilge pump.

Many electrical gauges work with a N/S magnetic pole system. Their needle(s) can only move thru 90* of rotation. This small amount of 'swing' makes the scale small. Other gauges can move thru 270 or 300* using almost all of the gauge face. Since the needle moves a longer distance it is easier to...

Isspro pyro w/270* swing and 1200*F range (for post turbo probe). Like Steelandcanvas points out this will maximize needle sweep for better accuracy. Mount panel is an inexpensive Accel hotrod item, held on column with a U bolt. Very easy to see while driving.

There are pipe plugs in the end(s) of the exhaust manifold. I can't remember if they are 1/8 or 1/4NPT. Your readings here will be for only one cyl. If you put it above the turbo you need to place it on one side or the other. You reading here will be for only 3 cyl. 1200*F is considered...

Matt at The Supply Depot in Bedford, Indiana said he has a nice ferret for 17,500. Also some project ferrets for less. Site http://www.indianaarmysurplus.com/ e-mail sales@indianaarmysurplus.com

A Ferret parked outside the Guards museum at Buckingham Palace. Another in a mall parking lot in West Springfield, Ma (poster on far side).

I can use that bracket that holds the CO2 fire extinguisher bottle and lifters. I have been thinning out my projectile collection. Got a new 57mm/6 pounder AP drill round. Also, a few 76mm HEAT rounds (Sherman Firefly?/M41 Walker Bulldog). Maybe some others too. It is a 1971 Alvis Stalwart...
