I started with trying to pull the 2" NPT nipple out of the bung it seemed to be seized into.
I used a four foot piece of DOM I had laying about and with some protest it came loose
Having measured the suction pipe, it would have been too short with that extension, so removing it was my only real option

Sadly, so true...
And I'm not sure we're a whole lot different in North America generally speaking.
Not there are those amongst us, true patriots to the guy that's just fed up, that when the time comes will fight.
I think Europe has no more of us..
Like I say, Liberals are the true enemy of freedom (And common sense, and life, and capitalism, and common sense, and justice, and free thinking, and business, and innovation, and our american way of life, may it rest in peace!)

I think there's a bike or two on it or in it...no wait under it...
Cat nest ontop of the fuel tank Mud daubers in the fenderwell Some kind of singing bird in a nest on the roof And the normal assortment of spiders who set up camp everywhere Oh, and an old dog underneath along with all the fluid spills...

Holy crap! You need a federal license for off-road diesel in TX?
We probably have a half dozen or more plastic 55gal drums at my work, I don't think anyone would care if you took them Don. Just throwing that out there...
I get them from the nearby tire store. THey give them to me.

Lift it in the bucks of Sarge and siphon. You will probably need a federal off road dyed diesel license. I have the application sitting on my desk right now.

No license required We even have a service station near here that has a pump dedicated to it. Just pull up and pump away! Can you say, "Free-dom!"

FWIW, I was thinking disconnecting sway bar for the rear since you stated " 70%-80% of suspension articulation occurs in the rear", as well as JR's comment about the weight in the rear - a sway bar on the rear might make you feel more planted to the road when towing.
Anywho -- carry on :)
I am ordering a Hellwig rear sway bar as soon as my military discount approval shows up at XPD Diesel. I had no idea they offered that, a 10% discount, and a price match + $5. XPD had it for $302. I found it for $296 296 - 5 = $291 - 10% = $262 That works for me!

Copy all
BTW, I make these clarifications for the benefit of everyone, Like, for example, that young guy reading this for the first time.
Moving on, doesn't the ram 2500 use a AAM 9.25" front diff? I was thinking the D60 front was replaced by the AAM 9.25 in a solid axle form some time ago, am I wrong?
17869
« on: May 24, 2017, 12:28:49 PM »
since the differentials for the Ram Power wagon and the duramax are the same now, you might "acquire" a QD set from one to test it out, you know for posterity and all. I think what Ryan and all are trying to get at is you commented you didn't want to lose articulation in the rear where you needed it most, but also wanted to add a sway bar. with the QD concept you get both. You're not doing more than you need, or converting it into a mulch bed destroyer, just enough to get what you want out of it. (I wonder if I sound like you to your wife trying to sell her on some new piece of equipment you "need" to purchase).
Point of order: Axles do not disconnect, the saw bar does and Dodge has a solid front axle Chevy has the IFS Not exactly the same And its the front sway bar which disconnects Does the PW even have a rear sway bar???

I suppose the PC way of stating this would be to say, Britain is reacting from a terrorist threat, which is true But where do ALL of these terrorist threats come from? The Hindus? Buddhists? Union workers? Dock workers? Catholics? or Muslims? Our number one enemy is the liberals who are also socialists. Their weakness and spinning moral compass opens the door to invaders, which in this context are Muslims and Islam. It is not a religion of peace. It is a way of life that enslaves, murders, stifles, threatens, destroys, is an impediment to human progress, wrought with ignorance and poverty, and is by any definition, evil. See what is happening in England? This fits the model perfectly for the asymmetric influence the muslims project as their numbers grow. Fight em or die. We stand by and witness the death of Britain, once the greatest empire on earth. https://clarionproject.org/troops-streets-uk-ups-threat-level-critical/

So. I'm trying to regain some manliness after the expose on my Greek salad...
Between the ribs and this I hope to regain some cred.
Blistered shishooto peppers. Mix of olive and grape seed oil. Coat the peppers. Liberally salt and pepper. Heat a cast iron skillet to very hot on the stove top while the broiler in the oven is heating up. Toss the peppers in the skillet and then place under the broiler until we'll blistered. Don't mind the smoke. It had to be very high heat to get the blister and not wilt the pepper.
Remove and place in a bowl, add additional salt. Sprinkle with feta or goat cheese.
Make a quick sauce. Sourcreme mayo lime juice and hot sauce. Salt and pepper.
Eat and discover the addiction.

Sold the trailer on Sat, and bought a boat on Sunday. '95 Larson 20ft bowrider w/ a 4.3L Mercruiser w/ radiator and EZ load single axle trailer. Custom Seahawks interior got my attention, but the outdrive is new, all new stainless braided hydraulics, most of the electrical has been updated, new bilge, pretty new tonneau cover and only 240hrs.
edit: screen shot has facebook crud on it, but I can't seem to crop it. oh well.
What's with the ugly colors? Needs some orange and black tiger striping!

you must have one heck of an EPA disaster somewhere there on your property............
Funny, but I never even thought about that

Too bad we can't do some sort of cleanup on the socialist problem ;-))
Now we're talking.
The hand pumps are a bit of a work out, but certainly doable.
Builds character I think is the saying...
Yea! 10 pump strokes per gallon X 55 gallons = 550 push/pulls It's all good, one is conditioning for football already...this should play right into that. With the rowing and push-up pump action and stacking up that rock wall, that boy is gonna create casualties. Well, he already checked that block!

Now, having said that
You may see a Ram PowerWagon in my stable some day as well. Disconnecting sway bar and all
I already have the GJ Ruby with the disconnecting stuff. Thing about that jeep is that it feels disconnected from the road like as in all the time :-0

« on: May 24, 2017, 10:02:42 AM »
Hey Don, what about a disconnecting sway bar. Best of both worlds.
I don't think this truck reaches that level. It's a driver, and a hauler. I just end up in the mud and on uneven terrain at the end of the drive, that's all. Remaining practical about it all, there is no need to go all off road with this truck. The biggest factor affecting its drivability are the twisty roads which motorcyclists come in from two states to drive just because of all the twisties.

Bow tie guy as well. However there are a couple of vehicles that would be on the list if available. Like the late 60's mustang, a 66 Bronco, a IH Scout II...
Yeah, late 60's mustang, hemi cuda, then the standards.
Late 69's stingray, 442, 68-69 Camaro/Firebird, early novas, etc.
Sam, I once owned a 1969 Corvette Stingray, 427 4 speed with 4.11 gears. It was a bit of a pig...Not as fast as you may think, and handling was not good at all. But, stab the throttle and you were in tire smoke city!

Well first off, little paint would get on my arms. Heck I shave twice a week sometimes!
That tank looked great inside. You going to have a service come fill it or just truck it there when needed?
Gonna try and have a truck come in and top it off I am hearing .40 off list in taxes alone. The trick, I hear is to find out when a service station nearby is getting topped up, then see if they can also deliver to my location. The problem might be in the fact that I am so remote Alternate plan is to pick up a couple 55 gallon drums, and a hand pump, then top up at a local ag-gas place and have the pre-rangers gets loads of arm exercise! ;-)))

Like I mentioned. it works well on digits as well as palms, backs of hands, foreheads and forearms! Pretty universal stuff if you ask me!
I was using #150 grit, but when the sander bogged down, I switched to just using my hands! THe paint literally flew off. I have palms and fingers that go from #60 to #80 and is harder than asteroid crust!

The autoclave cleaned interior was rust scale free, so I touched up the intake port with some epoxy paint designed to dissolve in the fuel and clog injectors on John Deere tractors. I'll keep you all posted if the stuff actually works!
17888
« on: May 23, 2017, 09:41:04 PM »
I'll touch up the brush marks with some 220 grit prior to spraying.
I'm going to do 15 coats of candy apple red lacquer followed by a dozen coats of clear. I want to be able to wet sand the imperfections out and get it looking like a mirror!
You buying any of that? Interested in a bridge I have for sale in New York? Kind of guy who spent two hours going from hardware store to hardware store in search for a gallon of half tone dots?
Continuing, Here is the approved thread sealant for tanks and such. Works pretty good on old cuts and blue jeans. The green color helps identify the once good pants as work only clothing! Cool!

« on: May 23, 2017, 09:36:15 PM »
I touched up the bare metal and sanded down rust spots with that epoxy rust sealant paint which both locks in rust and pretty much evenly coats ones fingers and arms...especially if you have an abundance of arm hair. Girly men would fare much better, but then again you'd never find a metro-sexual actually working...
17890
« on: May 23, 2017, 09:33:28 PM »
Then a couple hours later I had the thing all sanded up. Again, I didn't really find anything. It had a red oxide primer base, followed by a coat of silver, then another coat of light gray which I'd say is fairly recent
17891
« on: May 23, 2017, 09:31:03 PM »
After pulling the drain plug, I tilted the thing and blasted away using dawn soap to produce an autoclave like cleanliness!

« on: May 23, 2017, 09:29:28 PM »
Yep, still has some red dyed off road diesel inside. There was some sediment, but not much and no real rust to speak of

17894
« on: May 23, 2017, 09:27:02 PM »
Started working on that tank. Concept of the operation was to clean it up pressure wash the interior with hot soapy water, sand it down and get it ready for paint
First up I had to pry out this plug
THis 2" NPT nipple will likely be the pump mount site

On a side note, if you start cutting any hardwood, the slabs work very well as fence posts. My neighbor has cut a ton of lumber over the past years, enough to build two very large barns. For all the hardwood slabs, he cut them with a chainsaw at 8' lengths, and used them for fence posts. This was for a barbed wire fence to hold his cows. Been a few years installed, and they are still solid as can be. Just a thought.
The top six feet of those darned Cedars are all fence posts. But, don't have any critters (that are actually mine) yet

Don, I just noticed you have the ball joints on top of the arms. I believe they go on the bottom (push on the arm vs push on the bolts).
It may affect the geometry a little, but Safety is a bigger thing!

Holy Smokes!
WOW!! I just looked back on my install from about 50 years ago seems like, and I did the exact same thing Don. Had them mounted on top instead of on bottom...
Glad to see the black truck still putting in work.

To some knucklehead
Who doesn't realize
That he is actually $20+K away from a decent (not a great) restoration
I did one...
1970 Boss 302
Back in 1990 when I did it, thing cost me around $15K to complete
Sell it...Spend $$$ on island home and save for replacement truck
Don't buy replacement truck until you have 1/2 to 3/4 of the cost in cash...
