I don't know ton, but mine seemed a little small for the lunette ring on the trailer. It bound up during a turn and bent the riser plate before it popped free.

Just a quick question about these. I got the filter head (FM100?) from gimpyrobb for my M1009. Is there wiring in place in my truck to run one of Standyne's heaters, or would I need to wire it myself?

There's a prop rod mounted to the right side of the seat that holds it upright and off the backs of the front seats.

Ack! Aircrew bus flashbacks!

I'm in the same boat- small pinhole leaks that I sealed with some stop-leak for the time being. Still leaking somewhere I think. I've been holding out for one of the aluminum ones but the three-core ones are out of stock.

I did my front brakes a few weeks ago and it went pretty smoothly. After reading that I'm glad I never looked at anything else.

Here are some video clips we shot over the past few weekends. No lame music, just the sweet sounds of the 6.2... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUqdrwrvcsU

I've always called the CUCV the 'Chick Repellant Vehicle' because whenever someone is selling one the reason they give for selling is, "My wife hates it" or, "My wife won't ride in it." My wife was on the fence about mine until we took it camping. Now she says I can't get rid of it...

Isn't the bus-bar on the firewall 24 volts? I don't think 24 volts would be healthy for a 12 strobe light.

I can't speak to a 1031, but my 1009 has been my daily commuter for a while now. It was small potatoes when I had a ten mile commute, but now I'm taking the ferry, driving ~30 miles each way, and parking it in downtown Bellevue every day. Other than a max-effort braking incident it has been...

I don't think I could hear a radio with my truck running down the freeway, less so if I'm off road. Plugging my iPod into some Bose noise cancelling headphones solves all those problems. :beer:

I suppose an accumulator could be set to discharge at any time; at start-up or at shut-down. However once it’s discharged that’s it until the engine is running and the oil pump can repressurize it. So if you have it set to discharge when you turn off the engine, it will be empty when you restart...

Nice, I saw that one. :beer: Hey, did he leave the box in the back, and if so, can I have it?

Those will help with the dry start-up, but are useless for the spool-down of the turbo after engine shutdown. I think more damage happens when the engine stops and the oil pressure drops to zero, but the turbo is still spinning. The Turbo-PreLuber I mentioned could be set to run for up to five...

Back in the 80s on my E3 salary I decided to turbo my Mustang II, so I bought something called a Turbo Pre-Luber. The theory of operation goes like this- Dry starts damage the engine, especially the turbo. The turbo is spinning at some six-figure speed at shutdown when the oil pump stops...

Don't discount the local CUCVs. I picked up one that was a range truck on Ft Lewis, new motor and completely rust free. I drive it daily between Kitsap and Bellevue as well as take it out over the Hood Canal into the Olympic Mountains. It starts as easy as a gasser and runs smooth. I have...

We used the M1009 to get away from the drunks, the all-night fireworks, and the drunks with fireworks. Headed up to a very secluded spot in the Olympic Mountains where silence was indeed golden. http://youtu.be/l9jfV40affk

When you get home, is it earlier than when you left?

I used a length of steel cable and a lot of vaseline. The top was on the floor of the garage at the time so I was able to do it myself, but you really should have two people. Put the rubber seal on the window Grease it up good Wrap the cable around so it's sitting down in the groove of the...
