I would think that ambulance body would be fine on a 101 chasis as long as you don't do any extreme offroading. I would try and make it work if the price is right. You would definately want one with surge brakes.
Just picked up a mule tonight, It was in the middle of a "restoration", engine is fresh and rebuilt, just needs to be put back in. I looked at it in low light while trying to keep an eye on my 3 little ones runnning around. I'm hoping to get it up and running real quick. I'll be bringing it to...
I made it out of 3/4" electrical conduit from lowes, 10' section's. Easy to bend, lightweight and cheap, works great! cost me about $200 bucks to make with $40 of that being the pipe bender and about $75 for the expanded metal.
I built a roof rack for my blazer. It bolts through the far outer edges of the roof directly next to the large fiberglass channels where the fiberglass is double layered. There are 6 feet that attach it to the top to evenly spread the load. My rack is 5' wide by 7' long. I have had 450 lbs up...
The first and only trip I took my dog on in a duece, she crapped all over and tried getting out under the canvas cab top. Their ears are too sensitive or my dog is a big sissy.
I have a tan one and use it frequently to tow my M1009 behind my motorhome. I would'nt use it on anything heavier than a CUCV based on the recall but it seems plenty strong for my use. Takes about 30 seconds to hook it up by myself and only weighs 60lbs. Probably have over a thousand miles of...
Try backing out the rod that goes through the cold start sylenoid. It is adjustable and takes 30 seconds, I had to adjust mine after replacing the injector pump. Its probably not wide open throttle but pushing down enough without a load it seems like wide open throttle.
Sorry fellas but it looks like I won't be making it this trip. Too many things going on in life at this time. Will, I'll get my shirts from you another time. I look forward to lots of pics and good stories. There is a 10 percent chance I might come out for the day on
Saturday but having 3...
Another area to check is the fuel return lines between the injectors. Go through and tighten all the fittings including the flame heater fittings. If the lines are a little loose then it allows air to suck back in as gravity pulls the fuel back to the tank when the engine is off. It fixed my...
Just dont bring any "tea bags" for the guys passed out by the fire! I picked up a very hard to get overtime shift for Saturday the 6th starting at 1300 but am seriously considering cancelling it so I can stay longer.
No, not a dealer. Wanted one for myself and one to help offset the cost of my keeper and its a reason to go to Vegas! Hopefully I can get one running to tow the other home, thats plan A anyway. Already sent in my EUC paperwork tonight and have an EUC in the works from a trailer purchase so once...
Looks like I will be heading out there Friday afternoon around 4. This years going to be a quick turn around for me. I have to work Saturday afternoon so I'll be leaving about 10.
