    MWM diesel?

    Has anyone bought any of the MWM 2.8 liter diesel engines from GP? The engine fits the M1161 air transportable Growler from the Marines. I bought one about 2 months ago. It looked new, still in the crate wrapped in plastic and such. Well I am having quite the time finding the parts for this...

    Does the Injector Pump account for elevation changes?

    I hate to say this but I will. I am not a real big believer in additives or anything like that.... but here it comes... I used to use Mobil 1 synthetic for my 1009. I worked with a friend who was a Amsoil dealer on the side. I bought a case of the diesel oil from him thinking not to much of it...

I checked the buss bar but I cant see anywhere it would be contacting anything that could do that... the noise filter do you know where I could get one for cheap?

    CUCV alternator symptoms, diagnosis and fix.

    "The fact that the wire that runs to the vehicles positive 12v buss over by the brake master cylinder comes off the clamp that is attached to the negative terminal of the rear battery is irrelevant." Do you mean the passenger side of the engine compartment? This is an M1009 not an M1031. I...

    Gen 1 light on

    Just like to point out that if your alternator is working you can take something magnetic while running and it will stick to it on the backside. Just a quick way to test your alternator. If it sticks its good if it don't you need to replace it. The alternator creates a magnetic field when...

    Counterfeit ARB Lockers

    I would like to point out there are some folks who have never owned an ARB and would have not a clue what to look for. I personally like mechanical lockers, plain and simple! Not bashing ARB just not my cup of tea. As for why we have knockoffs, its all about cost and companies getting...
