    anybody have a spare tailgate with minimal rust anywhere near me that they would be willing to part with?at the very least i need the tube on the bottom, mines gone. mcmaster carr wants $40 for just a piece of pipe!
  3. 41/53dodges
    no, but they seem a little expensive.
  4. 41/53dodges
    they used to have something like that on tractors, they were called radiator shutters
  5. 41/53dodges
    thank you, it is also a cheaper alternative. its about 2" taller this way, if you didnt notice

    how exactly is that set up? i was thinking having whatever i go with come out right before the back wheel, kinda like an old jeep.

    could somebody get a picture of one of these beasts compared to just a plain old 218?

    was there a small child hanging out a window? has anybody ever even met somebody that uses their glovebox for gloves? for me its just a junk drawer.
  12. 41/53dodges
    that just might explain it... how do i check for this 30" head to be sure? JK

    mine doesnt have these words. what does that mean?
  15. 41/53dodges
    try autozone. the prices are generally better and they use fel-pro. i use that and have no problems yet.
  16. 41/53dodges
    i dunno, i was just goin to be cheap and put on an electric blower to make a cheap charger

    why couldnt you just pull the cab, find a chassis with 16" wheels, drop it on and add fenders?

    sorry to burst your bubble, but black oil is a bad thing. remember the acids previously noted? the main reason i know about this is from doing work on an engine that was run with dirty oil for years. it causes deposits and coking that will slowly plug the orifices for lubrication, thus starving the engine of oil. water wont hurt anything if its just sitting on the bottom, but when it is on a surface with air, it will rot. if it is submerged under oil, then it will not get air, thus not harming anything.

    i wonder, could the front end of a pilothouse fit onto a truck cab like the one below and look like a crewcab pilothouse?

    it does not matter how clean the oil is, if it is run for too long on that oil, acids build up in the oils and coke forms on the non-moving internal surfaces. a filter is to just prolong the whole process. a bypass filter is the type where about 80 percent of the oil goes straight to the bearings, while the other 20 goes through the filter and back into the crankcase. with a full flow, all the oil goes through the filter and then the bearings. BTW, my filter set up needs a little more help than it would seem...
  21. 41/53dodges
    problem is my filter is gone. i have the filter, but it needs severe cleaning and plumbing. in my mind, its not worth it for a bypass system as there is nothing actually keeping the crap from the oil passages. i would just change the oil when it turns runny and black, just like the lawnmower. these are basically just lawnmower engines from hell, right?
  22. 41/53dodges
    is there any good way to convert a stock 218 with a bypass system to a full flow system with a screw on filter? i know that filter kits can be bought, its just not worth it wih a bypass system.
  23. 41/53dodges
    interested in tradin for anything?
  24. 41/53dodges
    funny, i live in pleasant prairie, and we have no problems. its usually illinois people that get us. just dont drive through milwaukee at night in regards to construction. the detour is really stupid. what are you doin here anyways?
  25. 41/53dodges
    insurance probably says its totaled, just to save a couple grand and buy a new truck. (how does that work?)
