    DirtBag Fall 2011 ???

    Crunch time for me! I'm finally motivated to get my mule running. I got a new motor from Bill Watson back in June then broke my shoulder 3 days later. Shoulder's doing good and the heat has finally gone away so my garage is bearable for wrenching. Got it installed and am working out all the...

    Fuel Issue on Startup?

    I had the same problem on 2 cucv's. After some searching I ended up removing the fuel pressure sensor disc from the fuel filter housing and tapping the port then plugging it with a bolt, fixed the problem and didn't cost a dime. The sensor is used for the military test kit and has no other...

    cure for death wobble on stock m1028

    My M1028 had death wobble at 35 mph. I did a bunch of reading and started with the cheapest possible fix first which was king pin bushings. Replaced them and it didn't change anything. Then I came across some 80% tread bfg all terrain tires on aluminum rims. Swapping out the tires and wheels...

    WTB: Correct Mule Engine-must turn over/run

    On a generator engine, the flywheel has the fan built into it, the mule engine has it's own belt driven fan with different shrouding. They might be the same basic block, but I'm not sure.

    Drive or fly to pick up CUCV?

    Trailer it. I picked up 2 from there in December. Both had dead batteries, both had forklift damage with one having a bent driveshaft. They are all unloaded off the flatbeds by forklifts there so there's a good chance you'll have a bent driveshaft.

    WMO and Surging

    I would pull the in tank pump and make sure the screen is not getting plugged up with debris. Make sure there's nothing in the bottom of the tank to get sucked into the pump intake. One little piece of cardboard or paper could be sloshing around on the bottom of the tank then get sucked flat...

    Opened up a can of worms

    I have had this problem on 3 trucks. First truck had bad injector pump throttle shaft seals and would allow fuel to drain back into the tank, once started the fuel would leak around the throttle shaft until it warmed up. The other two trucks it was the fuel filter housing. On both of them I...

    dirtbag XI

    Picked up an S250 shelter to transform into the dirtbag motel. Got it unloaded and in the garage today. Have to get new tires and fix the death wobble on my truck. Doubt I'll have the mule up and running by then, I ordered a bunch of parts for it last week. Looking forward to it!!
