    Issues with SF-97

    Well I have been waiting since the beginning of July. I am indifferent about it except that you have to meet their requirement for payment yet they do not meet their own obligation when the company states their own response time. I hope that the DMV is sympathetic when the time comes for the...

    Welcome from a lowly corporal. Great place to converse, read and learn. Read forum rules, very helpful to get the information that you look for. Great crew here and a LOT of helpful information that otherwise you could spend days looking for an answer on several other web sites about a problem...

    new owner, saying hello

    Welcome and a very nice Truck. One of the good things about the Dodges, there is plenty of room to put on larger tires. How much clearance on the front bumper when turning? Now add some Horsepower!

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Outstanding! I am glad it was so simple yet a pain in the ass. Now you have piece of mind knowing that it is fixed properly. On the other hand now you have to wonder what else the prior owner "has fixed". I forgot to ask if there was a magnet in pan. Keep them doggies moving....

    Going down on tire size on a M932A2

    Welcome Drcracer, rolling at 13.5 I do see what you are trying to do. Are you locked in with using a fifth wheel? Is it possible to run a rear hitch with your weight not being an issue? Just looking at options, fabricating.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Volvo, sounds like it might be sucking air somewhere. Might be time to replace rubber hose in bent areas. I have replaced most problem areas with either fittings, steel or copper tube. You have to have some hose but you can reduce some of the problems. I start having warning signs and I put on...

    gottaluvit, Have you ever tried to align your self? Very easy, surely you have a string or measuring device. Usually by just counting the turns off you can replace in return. Anyway I am sure it will steer better.

    Blown 6.2 any suggestions

    Wow throwing in the towel already. What makes you think that it is terminal? I would think that if the 6.2 is running that it may be something like what has been said by doghead, loose flywheel, torque converter bolts. Always blue Loctite, always. Harmonic balancer? Pull dipstick, look at oil in...

    Kansas to Toronto- M934, hauling butt and crossing boarders

    Good Luck on your journey. I see you are taking a route through northern Missouri, I being a little south of there, I-70. Lets rally for Alice on a bold ride across country. I was going to drive the M1008 340 miles and decided to just go the conservative route and trailer it anyway after I did...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    rustystud, having a 6.2 since 1982 you get to "adapt" to the engineering limitations of certain electrical components. Having a mechanical aptitude to retrofit, re-engineer has always intrigued me even as a young child taking apart, putting back together my fathers tools. Riding motorcycles...
