I finally had a chance to try it on the plow. It does indeed work at keeping snow from sticking to it. I have yet to try it in the snow blower. That was a pain to clear out. Our temps here have hovered around 30ish. Makes for wet snow and sticky stuff. I wish I had discovered Fluid film a...

Well it seems anything above 2500 (by ear estimates) is screaming. I just made a 4 hour trip each way to pick a m101a2 trailer. I passed absolutely no one. Even semi's were passing me up. LOL I thought I was really pushing it. But I guess now that the tach is in I was running about 3K. I...

I recently found a product called Fluid Film. I am doing a restoration on a formerly very rusty 1970 wagoneer and wanted to find some thing that would preserve all the body metal I have been replacing. You put it on as a last step after any welding or painting. It surpassed a bunch of military...

I had a VDO alternator based tach show up. It was ordered and it didn't show up. I waited for it and did some more reading. I ended up going with the Isspro. Well now the VDO and a Autometer black gauge cup is here. I'll take a picture of it and also verify it does fit the gauge cup and put...

Sweet install is right. I am so glad to finally get this tach in place. I'd recommend a tach before any other instrumentation as it keeps the guess work from possibly doing damage to these motors. I was finally able to find some black top tonight that was a long straight stretch that was not...

I wanted to add that a couple years ago I called Isspro and to ask about a pyrometer for my Deuce. Don at Isspro made me a custom Pyro with a black bezel when the one I wanted was only available with a chrome bezel. They are a great company to work with. I did not purchase my tach at Isspro...

This post is for anyone considering an Isspro Tach install on their CUCV. I looked at the alternator based Tachometers , Crankshaft based Tach’s and the Tiny Tach as options. Alternator based tach’s are affected by belt slippage and to that translates to inaccuracy. Belts stretch faster than...

My m1008 has a flat bed and a 205 with a PTO. I verified it is a M1008 after wondering about the 205. Previous owner did the DH mod and push button glow plugs. I have replaced the floor pads and rubber mat after paint. New black dash from LMC. New bottom seat cover. Added stewart Warner Trans...

Geez Gimp, I went to look at the thread link you posted and when I got to your post on skiing, I forgot why I was there? :D

Well I have to see what's happening in the MV world. Actually I do more reading than posting now. I can be a wordy when I do post though. That's what happens when you move to the middle of no where and spend days on end solo. And I just plain missed all you guys. :D I was wondering about...

What a great idea on the kilawatt. My next trip into town it will be done. My little magnetic heater was only a 200 watt. I'm putting it back where it was on the side of my air compressor to help it start. So the Temro 600 watt heater in the block is working great. And it does quiet down...

I purchased a 68 M715 from Jack many years ago. I drove it home from Tucson to Portland when I lived there. That was one of the best adventures ever. And yes Jack is a super nice guy. Same with his son Josh. I had to sell my truck roughly 7 years ago. Oddly enough 6 months ago I get an email...

This is on the existing 600 watt heater I found in the block. I just cleaned the terminals and plugged it in. I will probably put the new 1000 watt heater in later. I wanted to see if this one worked. I just never expected block heaters to make any sound at all. You can hear it about 6 feet...

Well I am finally stumped. I have owned my M1008 for 1 year next month and every single problem or modification has been answered from the good folks here whom have done this stuff already. There is a good chance my question is nothing, but I would like to make sure. I noticed my 6.2 had a...

I just discovered my TH400 case is cracked all the way around exactly as Speddmon's did in his 700R4 conversion thread. It's junk and the crack is identical. 1985 M1008 with a 205 transfer case and a flat bed conversion. It was converted at some time of it's life in the forest service in WA...

It looks like I have a block heater in my engine. It's in a freeze plug. It has exposed terminals but no cord. Does anybody know where to source one of these cords? The previous owner thinks it was a military installed heater. It gets cold here and we had 7 below zero for a few days a while...

I went and talked with Mark. Great guy and even bought a case of paint. He was out of flat black though.... It was a great event.

Just found this thread. Very nice! Have you seen the method of photo etching brass to make parts? Or are you already doing that? Some of the scale ship forums have great info on photo etching brass. I want to learn that. I have found working rockwells in miniature if you are going to RC the...

Great pictures Walt! What a great looking plane. And the sound those motors make is awesome. I was just going to send you a PM. Liz and I are going to tackle your tent rain fly soon. We got a machine out and will be getting on it this next week. That camo has quite the odor. :D Sorry it's...

I think they were due next weekend. Now thats cohonjes to do that. Even Josh said it felt like we were hauling double that past the line. It was kind of funny and darn fun. Made for some painfully long videos though. I had to tell liz to quit filming half way down. :-P Next time I will...
