    Power Wagon Aero Dynamics

    I've been working on my old power wagon making it an extended cab so I'm not cramped up. When I drive my work truck with the window down and the sliding back window cracked open it makes it very pleasurable to drive with the window down. If the back window is closed the wind drys my eyes out...

    Cummins STC variable Fuel Timing

    My '79 KW with a Cummins 855 Big Cam Four has the variable step timing control. The STC is suppose to hold the injector down to help get better mileage and the truck has a reputation for wearing out injector cam lobes. It makes me think all the noise coming STC makes is hammering on my new cam...

    Does this pass inspection?

    Were going to a tractor show in KS and we want to stop along the way and do some scenic rides. Normally I haul the bike on the back deck but it's a pain to unload especially if we have many places to stop and ride. The bike weights 750lbs. with 2x2x1/4 square tubing for supports. It seems to...

    F-350 Tong truck

    We use this '05 F 350 to make up casing on drilling rigs. It's got a 60 gpm hyd pump mounted underneath and via extension cord the truck will rev to 1,600 rpm and spin the casing tong. It has 65,000 miles with 4,600 hrs. So it runs all the time when at the rig. The warranty is up and it's...

    Ever Done this With Your truck?

    My Buddy called and asked me if I would donate my truck for a weekend to use at their athletic club. Once they got the truck moving it went pretty easy for them, so next time I thought of loading the Mighty D4 on the tilt bed to give it an extra 17,000lbs. You guys think that will be to...

    Lug Nuts

    Going to haul my 1951 D8 and I only truck for the fun of it so I have a question. It's been a few thousand miles since the frame was painted and wheels put back on and DMV hand book says to check the lugs after 500 miles. How do I re-check the rear with Alcoa's inside and out. I'm guessing...

    Power Wagon aka Mc Mobile

    JDOFMEMI, figured it would be best to start a new thread for this. I bought this old Edison power line truck that had been sitting for about 30 years for a $1,000. So it was in good shape with a tired engine. 1. Put a DT366 99 horse power diesel engine in it with a 10 speed direct tanny...

    Extended Cab KW

    My 79' KW just doesnt have enough leg room so I broke out my saw :eek: I'm slidding everything back 5 1/2" so I can stretch out. I could have went more but then my nice aluminum rack would have needed work. But with only 5 1/2" everything is going to work out nicely. 1rst, day I tore down...
