Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Note the nice tight fit in the heater box and pay close attention to your replacement. Many of the aftermarket replacement cores are known to not fit snug like this. The cooler air will leak past the them and highly degrade the heating output. You may need to add extra foam sealing material or dumb dump to make sure you get a nice tight fit and seal in the heater box.View attachment 595365 View attachment 595366 View attachment 595367 This is the original Harrison heater core that came from the factory.
What is the black box on the front brush guard? I'm not familiar with it. Thank you.When I drive my CUCV in winter I wear clothing like I am going to be outside. My kids had a rear heater in the M1009 when they were growing up. I removed all the insulation from the firewall and the floors are bare in all my vehicles. Line X only. They are not saunas in the winter. They make it comfortable at best. As long as the windows get clear I am happy. I just drove my Mule 1,200 miles in 3 days and it was cold the first day. The second day I dressed for it and the third day I was out of the cold back up in the 60's again. I am making an arctic front from parts for both my M1009's that I drive. But I still like my new truck best. Sauna or ice box at your finger tips.View attachment 595381This was last years winter front I made from spare parts. It was the best one to date. I left it attached to the brush guard and hung it in my barn. I like it that much I want to look at it for years to come. The paint was that nice on the bumpers and brush guard I did not want to sand and repaint over it. i will use them on an up coming project I am sure. I am going to be wiring my Crown of Thorns with Christmas lights again this year. I missed last year because of medical reasons.
Wow that's hard to read lolDrove my M1008 to work today. I have driven this truck at least once a week
for the last 8 months, just not if there is salt on the roads. Backed it into
a spot in the shop and the brake pedal went to the floor, the line on the passenger
side of the frame let loose. 2 weeks ago I had a ton of scrap on the trailer,
(M101A3), no indication of any impending doom. Things could have been worse,
it might have let go @ 65 mph when the lady turned left in front of me last week
without a turn signal.
THANKS for the tip on the line, I didn't think the 3/16 was the right size since I have probably about 40 feet of that in my toolbox at work. I'll grab a 6 footer on the way to the shop.Easy fix on the brake line. Easy for me I guess. But a 6 ft piece of 1/4" fits with a little bending and tweaking. No need to get out the double flaring kit on that one. It probably blew out at one of the frame clamps. Put some Nickel never seize everywhere the clamp contacts the tube. It will last another 30 years. Well maybe. But I do think so. You take better care of it then the previous owner.
I thought I had a light in my ashtray the other night. Had me thinking the general was on it putting that there. Turned out my mini flashlight was on.Finally got ALL my Dash Lights working. Now I can see my Heater controls at night. Didn't even know there was a light behind that! Good project! I would classify it as difficulty level out five of ten! just my .02![]()
Is that 1/2 inside diameter?Today I did some controversial repairs on the Jersey Indian. I dug out my 1/2" rubber hose/ fuel line that I must have fixed a hundred CUC/V door strikers with and made up 2 for the Jersey Indian M1028.View attachment 595511View attachment 595510View attachment 595512View attachment 595513View attachment 595514I put them on and the doors closed nice and tight and had the right sound when they closed. Not that junk truck sound. I also used another item that has been thrown to the wayside and replaced by useless aerosol spray lubes. View attachment 595515This is a manually operated lubrication can. This is what you should be using to lubricate door hinges and other moving parts. Using sprays like WD 40 and any other spray lubes is like spraying Pam cooking spray on it. It is good till it dries and then does nothing. Tried and true motor oil in a squirt can is the key to long lasting door bushings and tailgates. Anything that moves needs a little squirt of oil.
