Re: Speedometers?

Paul: If you rotate the tires just glue on another magnet from you can buy at Home Depot. I will try to take a picture of the pickup & magnet mounted on my M/C to post. Very easy & cheap, like what Bruce was asking for. Kevin

Re: Speedometers?

Hey Paul: You mount it so it reads off of one front wheel. If you do burn outs in 4WD, then the mileage will be off! (But so would a stock speedo). All the other features are handy also. The newer units have a chip that does not lose your data when you change batteries. Mine is 7-8 yrs old so I have...

Re: Speedometers?

The encoder that is wired to the speedo picks up a pulse when the magnet passes by it every revolution of the wheel. The computer in the speedo converts the pulses into speed/distance based on how you calibrate for your tires circumference. The work great and are very accurate. And they are cheaper ...

Re: Speedometers?

I usually epoxy the magnet to one of the disk brake carriers and the encoder to the front fork lower leg of my motorcycles. Looking at a Pinz front wheel, you could run the wire along the brake hose & then tube. Maybe mount (epoxy) the encoder to the "steering lever RH" #7101433391 &am...

Re: Speedometers?

Are you trying to keep the truck original? If not, this is an inexpensive alternative. http://www.aerostich.com/sigma-speedometer.html You can calibrate it to the exact tire circumference so it is very accurate. Has other useful functions. You would need to lengthen the sensor wire. I have used thes...

Re: 2012 Military Show/Swap Meet in Aberdeen, Maryland

Smoke grenade launcher too. You would need to reinforce the roof quite a bit just to handle the weight of that setup, not counting the forces from firing a fifty cal. Wow! :shock:

Hi Ed, I shipped my 710K up from Chino to the PDX area on a car carrier through a broker for $750. Made it here with no issues.

Re: Transfer case lube

DJW: My tranny shifts OK right now. The last time I bought some ShockProof it was $10.95/qt, so it would be very expensive just to fill the transmission (6L). I have never seen it sold in larger containers. I will stick with the dino tranny oils in mine for now.

Re: Tranny mount issues

When I did this mod, a couple of the nuts were loose. They were a b(tch to get started again but once threaded, I used the trick that Krick described and got them all good & "snug". No welders were used :roll:

Re: Transfer case lube

I have used the Redline "Shock proof" gear lube in motorcycles with excellent results. Also used in our old Miata that had a snatchy 2nd gear syncro. It definitely made it shift better with little crunching after installed. I thought the general consensus here was that synthetic lubes caus...

Re: Profiles

Hi Vince: Will the software let you require that the profile be filled out? I guess they could still put in spam. Maybe a lost cause............

Re: Side Vent...

My vent works & I open it when using the heater. The vent leaks cold air even when closed while driving my truck. Maybe that is why some are sealed up? :?:
