    What have you done to your HEMTT/PLS/MK48 this week

    Anyone ever replace the hydraulic fan. Mine leaks like a sieve.

    How many of you use your cucv's everyday ?

    I used to but I need to put a new IP in her as she won't start when hot. Luckily that was only one of a few vehicle I have to drive

    Just bought an M1008 !

    Spin on fuel filter unless you are going for authenticity. It will save you on LOTS of headaches and cranking when changing over fuel filters as you can prefill the filter with diesel.

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    Oh and NOT to beat a dead horse but I agree with Chris's view on politics (even though any of you who know me probably know which side of the fence I am on). Part of what I love about this site is, it's not divided by partisan crap (except for using CUCV's a wheel chocks...but that's just...

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    How about a master list for each truck/ genset with all major wear parts part numbers and cross ref # It would save loads of time going through threads and even the stickys. It could be easily printed and kept in your truck just in case.

    custom battery tray

    Thats exactly what mine looks like except I have red tops. It leaves a great spot up front to connect your air intake for your aircleaner and to put a tool box under the hood.

    White Hercules multifuel ...need advice

    I agree with the starting off in 2nd gear thing unless you are pulling a load. The shift is quick from first to second and my trucks pull off easy in second. Your truck looks clean to me I'd do what the others said, maybe wash the engine with some block cleaner and start and run the motor to...

    cucv wont start sometimes

    I was going to say it sounds like the starter is misaligned and when you spin the crank it meshes enough to get it to start. It would show up as intermittent due to heating and cooling and the condition of the teeth of both.

    Overcharging - m931a2

    Mine does this on start up for about 3-4 min . I assume this is due to the low battery issue but I am concerned that it may be harder on the batteries due to there only being two. While I know 4 is preferable due to capacity two batteries start and run the truck just fine here in NC. Any easy...

    M1009: Water leaking into cab

    I thought oil and water leaks were a design feature! If it doesn't leak oil its out!

    Trade a 84 936 for a 97 Hummer

    Personally I'd keep the 936 (bird in the hand thing) This project may run into costs and time constraints you don't want to deal with, unless you are wealthy and retired and need a hobby. If you have a rebuilder near you who could look it over and quote you a price thats firm to rebuild then and...

    Few questions on fuel delivery

    Biodiesel will clean the crap out of a tank too (ask me how I know) When it's been sitting for a while expect to go through filters. Many of us have changed our square filters for a spin off filter. That helps with wear and tear on your starter and batteries as you can prefill the filter with...
