I was scanning the TM's looking for some info for a friend that wants to convert his gas jeep to a diesel and came across something that didn't make sense. Under towing capacities, it lists only the 1/4 ton trailer and 1K max load for the 1009 and a M101 series trailer with 1500 lb capacity for...

Check door alignment against the top and strike side first. If the alignment is good there, then your issue is the fender and not the door. However, if it is the door, then you have to loosen the hinges from either the door or the frame and adjust to properly position. This is a royal pain in...

I disagree. You can not pick up the positive and negative terminals off of one battery and get 12 volts. They are still in series and will give you 24 volts. What we did when I was in service is go to the negative terminal off the first battery and use that as a positive. Then go to ground...

OK, so I got into things late. I really hate it when that happens. What was the final decision on the fridge? I haven't gone back to read each page. I really didn't think you would get done so quickly. This is absolutely awesome. Makes the Biltmore look mundane. Congrats on the nice...

I don't have any LP systems in my semi, so can't comment on the LP/motorhome type refrigerator. However, I use a large dormitory fridge GE Compact Refrigerator, 2-Door, Black - Walmart.com This unit has tons of storage (for a dorm unit) and uses very little power. With a 1500 watt inverter, I...

How did you light up the transfer case selector? I have been thinking about it and considered just mounting a light under the dash that would illuminate the lower interior. Of course, I am doing all of this "Planning" off the top of my head since I won't be getting one for a few more months yet.

I would much rather have the 1010 as is to make a camper/bugout vehicle. To chop one up like that seems such a tragedy and waste to me. You know the 1010's are rare enough as it is.

Looks to me like there may be a bit of miscommunication here. The wiring diagram shown is for the dash lights. i believe he is asking if the selector housing has illumination like the gear selector display for the regular gear shift. I.E. he is looking for a light in the black box on the...

You can install a standard alarm system in a CUCV with a kill switch. You can also hide a kill switch by going into the harness for the ignition switch and and installing a Open/closed switch to the red wire.

Biodiesel has a better lubricity than ULSD and about the same as #2 (LSD) Diesel. However, it has a lower cetane rating and is more prone to gelling. ULSD will gel below 0 (depending on the additives, but most companies require drivers to add an anti gel if weather gets below 10) and bio...

I am in the same boat. I haven't driven a CUCV since they were NEW!!! That is, in fact, how I ended up finding this site. I was looking up specs to find out about the electrical system (question answered by browsing here) if the fuse panel was 12 or 24 volt. I was also interested in...

Bear in mind that since 85/86 when these were being built, highway diesel has drastically changed. Back then, you had LSD (Low sulphur diesel 500PPM sulphur), now it is ULSD (15 PPM). This change in sulphur content, in addition to lowering lubricity of the fuel, also affects the combustion...
