Looking through more specific directions, it is recommended to mount at a distance of 97" for 45 degrees, and with a 12" overhang it would have a capacity of 10.3 tons. For 50 degrees it's at 88", with 12" overhang it would be 9.3 tons. It is bigger lift than it appeared and does recommend...

Here is a manufacturers manual on the item. If you go through, it does lower the recommended capacity for use depending on where the lift is mounted, as well as giving pretty good information on the mounting instructions. In conjunction with the calculator I gave you earlier, you can get your...

https://ccsurplusparts.com/products/dump-bed-hoist-kit-complete-with-everything-24-or-12-volt The kit these guys sell looks to be the same/similar and they have it mounted on the cross member that is between the axles. They seem to feel pretty confident in putting it on trucks, but I still...

Dump beds are typically built with the ram in the back for added stability. That device could very well be capable of lifting the weight that it says, but to get it to any moderate height it looks as if it would have to go very close to the pivot point. If I was going to build on for that much...

https://www.inchcalculator.com/rise-run-degrees-calculator/ Here is a simple rise over run calculator that operates on inches. With this you can calculate the specific distance you need your part to be from the rear pins.

The distance to place from the pins would entirely depend on how high you want to lift the bed. The lift of the bed would be minimal based on the actual specifications of the item that you want. The lift could be calculated from the overall height of the lift with the placement of the part...

I don't know anything about HMMWVs, but Mogman is on point IMHO. I will say that every vehicle that I own I add my own additional grounding points. NOT replace, I actually always add them to engine, transmission, transfer case, etc. I've seen people fry brand new transmissions on full sized...

I prefer the black silicone in most uses that are general engine or gear oil applications and not high heat. I've done mostly civilian mechanic work, but I have not had a problem with diffs and general engine use when using black. I picked up that habit from mechanics that have been doing it...

I don't know how much 'abuse' the underlying material can handle, but an impact screwdriver goes a long ways on stuck screw heads. If you do have an impact screw driver, making sure to 'preload' the screw driver in the correct way that it needs to go, applying some downward counter clockwise...

That's the rear seat from 2005 F350 crew cab Lariat

Also, I'm thinking about going with an 18" steering wheel and putting in a quick disconnect for added theft prevention. Mine has power steering in it, the 20" is a bit much, not sure it's entirely necessary. If I do that I could comfortably raise the seat up another 1 1/2 - 2" and it would...

With the box removed and the seats shimmed up about 3" in the front from the bracket and 4" in the back it puts them in a pretty decent spot height wise. They are a bit far forward, but I can get an extra 2" if I cut out the gusset and notch the corner about 2". If I do that I'll have to make...

The seat fits, but the original box under drivers seat is way too high to keep it in place, the bottom seat is too long to fold up, but as the storage box is going to be removed, defeats the purpose anyways. Will likely have to move the parking brake, but that's not a big deal, will see when I...

I'm going to try to use a back bench seat from a 2005 F350 Lariat. It's a split bench, with the smaller seat on the passenger side, which is not optimal, but the front of the seats are about 58" and seem like they are going to work. Seat tops tilt forward and lay on the seat bottoms, and the...

I don't look for any automotive leak anymore without just jumping to UV dye. Coolant, oil, transmission fluid, fuel: You can't get any more noticeable and it takes the guess work out of anything. Those engines look like a pain.

I can't speak for that motor, but I'm going to advance the timing on my 6BT for performance. On those injection pumps (P7100) when you advance the timing you can get decent to great horsepower gains, depending on what else has been done to the motor. What motor is in that one?

If someone could give me exact dimensions I should be able to duplicate that, looks simple enough. Due to the compound angles a sample would be preferable to match it, but either way. Probably take a few days to get to.

According to specs, the ISB 5.9 24v cummins puts out varied torque numbers, I would highly recommend looking up the specifics of the engine that you have. The 4L80E is rated at 440ft-lb of input torque. The stock 6bt is about that, but the ISB 5.9 puts out considerably more torque on some of...

It would have been easier to find parts for that swap, but I think I have it sorted. The Spicer 3053A from the M35A2 is a SAE #3 bellhousing, the Spicer 6453 from the M54A1 is SAE #2 bellhousing, so it's a different hunt for parts, same book but different page. I think I have all the parts...
