Most people today have no respect for other people or other people's property. They don't even respect other's lives. Look at the murder stats across the country. It kind of surprises me that they don't just throw the stuff on the ground. Maybe they think they're being ecologically friendly throwing it in your truck instead. Then you can throw it in the trash.

When they hit $18 each, I may look at replacing the 13 two lamp four foot fluorescent fixtures in the basement and the eight footer in the workbench area that I have hard wired. Lowes has four foot T8 shop lights for about $15 each around here. They have a plug, but it's fairly easy to convert your existing hardwire connection to a receptacle and plug those puppies in and have them on a switch. That's what I'm doing now - replacing old T12 shop lights as the ballasts go bad. Just make sure you get fixtures with electronic ballasts. I believe all the T8 fixtures have them. The old style ballasts had problems starting at cold temperatures, such as un-heated garages or shops.

If that shop were cleaner and neater I could suspect that it was a Jay Leno project. Just the kind of off the wall build he would do. If you've got a Toronado with two engines, steam cars and a tank engined roadster, why not a radial engined pick-up truck?

Extensive research in obscure automotive industry archival records, personal off the record conversations with retired Chrysler R&D engineers and employees, and a persistent pursuit of the truth about this pivotal event in automotive history If you have trouble believing the above, just chalk it up to a slightly twisted sense of humor and having too many words in my vocabulary that I rarely get an opportunity to use.

The caneuter valve operation and/or malfunction was not mentioned in the archives of the project. This prototype had the Ultra-Cyclic Caneuter Valve, which was still under development by Chrysler R&D. There was within the automotive engineering "fraternity" at the time a collective body of evidence suggesting that caneuter valve malfunction, possibly induced by frammistat controller impedance fluctuations, could be contributory to high frequency oscillations in the Schidt transmutic induction system. We can only speculate that, given the experimental nature of each of the components of the engine/transmission/drive train assembly and the inclusion of the unproven Ultra-Cyclic Caneuter Valve, any fluctuations in the impedance of the frammistat controller may have exacerbated the sinusoidal detractance harmonics and contributed to this tragic loss of a possibly game changing experimental vehicle and, of course, the test driver. As the vehicle and driver simply "blinked" out of existence, leaving no physical evidence, and given that Chrysler executives denied any knowledge of any such project, it is doubtful we will ever know with any level of confidence the true cause of the incident. It should be noted that within 3 months of the incident both Schidt Werken and Kawa$#!&i were bought by an automotive industry OEM parts conglomerate, known to be closely associated with Chrysler, their employees were re-assigned to various sub-companies within the conglomerate, the corporate records of each company were destroyed in a fire of suspicious origin, and the companies completely ceased to exist as separate entities. There are those who might conclude that these actions were part of a conspiracy of silence, but we will never know for sure.

Did you ever find a set of wheels? There was (12-15 years back) a company in Huntsville that restored wheels. I took them one from my 91 GMC that had been scratched in a minor wreck. Got it back good as new, matched the other three. Got paid for a new wheel and made money on the deal by having it restored. I'd like to have a set of the OEM wheels for my 91 Eliminator, got Pacesetters now. I need to start checking the P&P yard here for them.

I believe Chrysler built a prototype vehicle in the early to mid-seventies as a joint venture with a German engine company and a Japanese drive train manufacturer. It utilized the Turbo Encabulator transmission driven by a 7 cylinder Schidt Werken polymorphic combustion transmutic induction engine with a Kawa$#!&i multi-phasic toroidal all wheel drive train. Unfortunately, the prototype and the test driver were tragically lost when, at 63 MPH on the first speed test run, the engine/transmission/drive train sinusoidal detractance harmonics interacted to shift the vehicle into either an alternate universe or a time warp. The relatively low sophistication level of vehicle telemetry at the time was of limited value in defining the exact nature of the interaction, but did record a final radio transmission from the test driver which, according to Chrysler archives sounded like "Aw Schidt", possibly indicated an engine malfunction as the initiating factor in the harmonics inteaction. This was a huge setback to Chrysler that contributed to the introduction of multiple unfortunate vehicle designs thereafter.

Went from Blackberry (best for strictly business usage due to contact management, etc.) to iPhone 4 in an Otterbox (hand-me-down from my wife when she upgraded) and recently got a new iPhone 5S with a new series Pelican case (case currently only available from AT&T). Really enjoy the phone features (more standard apps, compass, longer battery life, fingerprint unlock, etc,) and I use Siri for hands-free calling and voice texting. Camera is much better on the 5S and I use it a lot to send photos of equipment to customers. Will be loading more music on it soon and using it at the beach in place of my old iPod. I have friends who are using Android phones and like them but I just didn't want to learn a whole new way of using a phone. The Otterbox case on the 4 protected it well but was a pain removing to clean the phone. Went with the Pelican on the 5S because it's not as bulky and Pelican has a great rep for protection

Check under the dash for any interference between the clutch pedal arm and any wiring. Clutch actuation is entirely hydraulic and there should be no vacuum or electrical connection. An electrical short or a wire connection that is being mashed or partially disconnected are the only things I can think of.

Got a D35 from a MJ you can have if you come get it. If you happen to find two of those 91 clusters keep a fellow CC member in mind. Got some issues with mine.

Dang! A herd of Comanches AND a herd of airplanes!

$440? Somebody has way too much disposable income!

Go to the DIY section, random informative pictures thread, scroll through to the photos of rear end covers to identify your axle type. It's probably a D35, but you need to be able to tell what it is for sure. And, you can probably pick one up at the JY.

Can't help you on the trim pieces but can advise you to go to the JY and pull inner fender liners from a 96XJ. I know the 96s will fit as I have them in my 88 MJ. Don't believe later model liners will fit, but could be wrong.

B pillars before backer board. Carpet will fit under and behind the backer board (AFAIK).

You got a Stearman? You've been holding out on us, Jim. I'm thinking the Dos Eguis guy needs to look for a new title.

Rave on, Don! I'm right in there with you. We were on vacation this week and it seemed as if every time someone flipped the TV on it was the LeBron James show. Loved the statement that he saw himself going back as a mentor to "all the young guys" and getting them to the championship level. People getting paid way too much to play a game in a nice air-conditioned arena while we've got military families barely getting by because their pay isn't commensurate to their skills and the nature of their workplace. The "I'm Coming Home" misuse? Leave it to the media to take something honorable and drag it down to commonplace.

Probably Renix era trucks 87-90 as they use mechanical speedometer drives. The speedometer end of the cables may differ in the way they connect/clip onto the speedo hub during those years. The ideal find would be one like Dainternetguy's in the color scheme you want. I believe someone on the forums has grafted the shift indicator into a non-auto cluster and someone else has mounted a shift indicator on the column. Both mods should be/may be in the DIY section.

Do you mean that there is no flat surface on the back side of the yoke for the nuts to seat against? Or are the threads on the u-bolts too short to allow the nuts to seat? Are the u-bolts round in cross-section where they contact the bearing cup or are they flattened in the U bend? Pics would help.

Just saw a photo of Hornbrod's truck with the column mounted transmission indicator. Look at the post for shifter knobs in the Pub section.

The OP was working on a D35 rear axle, not a D30 front. See the link in Jeepdriver's second post above. It illustrates inner seal installation tools for a D30. Try Googling "D30 front axle" or something similar. Somebody probably has a YouTube video on rebuilding one.

An eco-friendly, green, sustainable solution, for sure.

If you install a cluster with a tachometer, it will work. The wiring is in the harness and the signal is being sent. All you need is the tach. Your problem will be finding a cluster with the indicator for the automatic trans. Someone posted a fix with an indicator mounted on the column, not sure who it was.

Would one of you mods delete this post. No response from anyone so no need to take up space.
