I just got back to this. American Force: http://www.americanforcewheels.com/index.php?route=wheel/dually&ws=19.5x6.75 has been making these wheels for over 7 years and so has another company Rickson Wheel: http://www.ricksontruckwheels.com/ I am partial to American Force since they have a...

Good. Sounds like progress.

As was mentioned...definitely pressure test the coolant system. Your symptoms sound just like mine when the head was cracked. Did the machine shop pressure test the head?

Huge Mega dittos here!!!!!! If something gets loose and moves into gears you will have massive damage and or an undesired tractor sale.:eek::eek::eek:

Yes your right on par with my plans. Banks is exactly right but the wheels will be 19.5 with no adapters. American Force builds 19.5 wheels for 8 lug direct bolt on with no adapters needed.

It is all dressed up to look good while it works and be practical for all my uses. 18,000 lbs is working pretty good, like pulling a Formula 382. Like this http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifieds/formula_382_sr_1-o44984-en.html I'm pumping it up to handle up to 23,000 lbs like a Formula 400SS...

My fat bottom truck lol. I call it the "Rock Max" :D I have heard of these on programmers doing 21 -23 on highway. If I can get to 20 I will be tickled..

Thanks. In comparison to my 07 2500 Suburban with 3:73 gears this Duramax, with 3:73 gears, is a compact car regarding mileage. I towed with the Burb and the mileage dropped by a little more than 5 mpg :eek: :eek:. Towing much more than that with this 3500 diesel the mileage only dropped by...

Then I worked on the front end. That lame black on the top and bottom looked terrible on the bumper so I looked for a paintable design to dress the truck up. I could not find, at the time, a nicely designed bumper set and accidently stumbled across the all chrome pieces. I didn't think all...

Then I needed running boards. I wanted something that little feet could not slip through so bars were out. The flashy polished stainless look was appealing but Putco could not come through with a decent mounting system for their Master Boss boards so that was out. I didn't want the bumper to...

I started out with a topper for max capacity. It is an ARE color matched with doors and sliding windows on all four sides. I love how large it is inside. We hauled a jeep hard top for one of my brothers in it. All of it fit in there but very close and tight. :D Then I had to get the badging...

A diesel injection service can be a life saver and a huge cost savings too. I had my injectors done here and I was surprised at the cost savings. That is saying something too because I am a tech in the field so I have access to good sources for parts but the service here did better than what I...

All in fun. I enjoy a good laugh. :D I have been sent that video a few times. One toyota luver on a boat site sent it to me too. There are some serious fact check errors there but in short, business goes where the money is. Since our govt blocked the bank loans to the mfgr's they got money how...

I know hydraulics pretty well but I don't know the schematic of the L185 enough to know where to check the pressures or component location so I can't tell from the pic if the block has a shuttle. My guess is it does not. I didn't know you had something still on the 3pt, when I was talking about...

If there was any way that the anti-seize would be exposed to the internals of the injector fuel pathway I would not do it. The abrasive nature of anti-seize is not well enough represented by some of the biggest supporters of that stuff. On a machined surface anti-seize will cause wear and if...

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Oh wait........ a new Kubota color.......... electric orange. LOL LOL :D:D:D:D

:D:D:D ROFL ROFL :D:D:D I better put a helmet on before I start it in case it rolls. :D:D

Wow. I hope to see some vibrant colors like that here this fall.

Well, ya do now!!! ROFL :D:D:D:D Built ford tough with chevy stuff. :D:D:DLOL I know, you really want to see my pics huh. LOL

Technically those are called "divining rods". So divine that I can't do it. LOL :D:D:D I know a man that can work metal rods or wood sticks too. He has shown me some methods but I don't have something that he does. :(
