He got a dual bank charger. They isolate the banks. He should have no issue connecting them. They should NOT have a common ground. The last one I used, from that manufacturer, and that configuration, had isolated banks, and charged them with no issue.

Edit. I had the deuce fuel tank capacity in my head. All CUCVs except m1009 had ~20 gal tanks, so take the tank rate I posted and divide it by 2.5 or 3 and it'll be accurate.. heh.

From personal experience, using TCw3, in all my CUCVs, and my M934 (Cummins 14L), there is a big difference in noise between treated and un-treated fuel. I'm not a chemist, nor will I pretend to be, but I've run them without TCw3, and having dumped TCw3 into the tank while the engine is running...

TCW3 will increase lubricity. There are others, and a report was made which shows what improves lubricity the most.... Biodiesel and Optilube XPD were #1 and #2 respectively, but they can be expensive, and TCw3 brought the fuel into the wear specification range. Optilube XL is a newer product...

Vermont doesn't require a Vermont address. Neither did WA... I used my current address at the time, which was in another state. At no point did I lie on ANY form or application. Nor does he have to. This is no different than domiciling in a state, but driving around the country for the entire...

Can you cite the relevant RCW or WAC?

You accuse me of fraud? You've gotta be kidding me, right? You do realize there are many legal ways, and reasons to get a title in another state. Company's, trusts, etc. GL got the SF-97s issued through the fedgov. They're no longer affiliated with fedgov for vehicles, thus they have no way to...

Often misused products There are quite a few products that are misused.... Reflectix.. Reflectix is a metallicized film merged with bubble wrap, that's designed to act as a reflector and air barrier. This product needs an air gap to work properly. If it's directly attached to metal...

Vapor Barrier A vapor barrier is one of those things that not a lot of people know about, or may have heard of it but don't fully understand it. It's actually quite simple. A vapor barrier is designed to prevent the transfer of moisture. Generally, you want to keep moisture out, while...

Intro.. Here I'll go over the basics of insulation. This is designed to be a general guide, and won't cover every aspect. There are other things to consider, like condensation, water vapor, thermal breaks, etc. that will come into play. You'll find that insulation needs will vary based on...

It's more common with trailers, whose serial numbers are usually 4 or 5 digits. Try registering a trailer, and having the same serial number reported as stolen in 3 different states.... Having a different manufacturer, should fix any issues. MVA, like most gov't run systems, is absolute crap...

WA law says bond is required to get a title in situations where no title exists. If, for whatever reason, they didn't require the bond, more power to you. Might be something to try, if you don't need a title for 3 years... I'd just as soon get it done in VT and have proof of ownership, but...

Vermont. WA will require a '3 year registration without title', which requires a bond amount that's 1 1/2 times the value of the vehicle. So, if you think it's worth 5 grand, you're gonna get a $7500 bond. Easier, cheaper, and faster, to go through Vermont, get a title issued, then transfer it...

I had the unfortunate duty of retrieving data from a computer of a widow whose husband was killed in a HMMWV accident while deployed. It had just happened about 2 months before, and ALL the pictures of him, and essentially his life, was on that computer.... It was NOT pretty.. She was a wreck...

Have a good life insurance policy to pay off the house/take care of your family... That's about it.

The shop wasn't H&H diesel was it?

I have NOT found a good primer that sticks to CARC. Most of the ones I have tried, have peeled. I've had better luck spraying directly onto the CARC after scuffing it, than trying to prime it, then coat it. I used around 6 gallons on an M934, for reference.. and there's a LOT to cover...

Details on box construction?

No. CARC has pretty rough texture, for paint. Wash the truck with DAWN, to get all the oil and grease off... use a scotchbrite or brillo pad (with no soap) to scuff things up... or sandpaper if you really feel like it (last time I used a sander with ~200 grit) and do a rough pass over the body...
