    The name of the rock buggy should be "Hank Hillkiller" since it runs on propane.

    In the 90s, I had an issued police Crown Victoria that was converted to run on either propane or gasoline. The propane was not as efficient because the pistons had the wrong compression, but it still had a long range.

    Not sure if anybody has mentioned this yet or not and I know it's a small feature. I just wanted to say the little spring loaded lever on the right side of the engine right beside the carburetor, is for the choke it's activated by heat from the engine in an open and close

  • @j.j.clingman4083
    @j.j.clingman4083 Před 18 dny

    Bruce that front axle is definitely not a Dana44 axle for sure!!!!! It is a Dana 60 front axle for sure!!!! How I no is the outer king pins instead of ball joints and on the passenger side where the leaf springs bolt to the axle there is only one bolt holding the leaf springs to the axle and the other two are bolts that run into the axle housing and on the driver side it has two ubolts holding the axle to the springs!!! One other way you can check to make sure it is a Dana 60 is on the front webbing there will be a F60 and that will definitely confirm that it is a Dana 60 for sure!!! The spot on the webbing where it should say F60 will be on the front bottom right side or driver side of the webbing!!! Those axles are definitely wanted by guys that use Dana 60 for rock crawling or even mud racing!!! I have around 7 of 8 Dana60 front axles and I have guys trying to buy them from me all the time because they are definitely becoming way harder to find for sure and when you do find one they can go for anywhere from 1000.00$ to 2500.00$ just for the front Dana60 axles!!!

  • @The.nitro.keeper

  • @nathanwoten6236
    @nathanwoten6236 Před 18 dny

    Yall should put a 4bt or a 2.8L cummins in it. But whatever you do it definitely needs a set of 40s and some dana 60s and a magnum reduction box on the front of the 205 transfer case so you have some real low gears to crawl with. After yall have some fun with it you should definitely put coil overs or ORIs and dual triangulation 4 link from t and rear

    I had a old cop car that ran on propane that stuff burns so hot and clean the oil looks like new when you change it. I still have the valve and everything including a rebuild kit to turn any old carburetor or throttle body car to propane because I ended up switching to gas after a while because the tank and lines needed to be inspected and instead of that I just turned it to run on gasoline instead but I still have everything

    Check the vent tube at the top of the tranny ,seems its stopped up, not venting creating a pressurized system,or the pump itself is pulling air from outside mixing it in the fluid , frothing effect,good luck guys,i owned a black scrambler thzt had rusted back half and 38s

    The trans fluid is backing out the fill tube because the vent on top the trans is plugged up and cant release the pressure its a trail rig proly full of mud or dirt.

  • @patriotgodfearingamerican7185

    I have worked on trucks that are converted to propane. Propane makes less horse power than gas. The real problem with propane is it has no smell so they add another gas to it to make it smell like rotten eggs. That gas will gum up your valves and they will not seat then the motor won't start and when it does it wont run smooth. The way to keep that from happening is to run some high octane gas threw the motor every 5000 miles and burn the gunk off of the valves. cool Jeep

  • @kisielthe1st
    @kisielthe1st Před 18 dny

    lot of folks convert their cars to propane/LPG in europe, and some manufacturers offer it as an option when you're buying new.
    It's also a must if you imported one of those big ol' shitrod V8 from america since it's less than half the cost of gasoline.
    I've also seen a diesel semi converted to LPG as well. It ran a mixture of 1202 and propane. The guy said the fuel savings are minimal (less than 10%) he has like 30%+ more power for free and it's a lot cleaner burning so his DPF hardly needs maintenance.
