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

    Except the load isn't JUST the + line, it's the COMPLETE circuit... back to the ground or negative... So you're looking closer to 15 or 20', and that doesn't take into account what the ground wire is that you have from the battery - to the block... as the block is used as the ground for the...

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

    6ga is insufficient for the glow plug relay if you bypassed the resistor. You will be drawing ~200A through that wire.. I ran a 1 ga cable to the solenoid then a short 1ga jumper to the 12V post .

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

    One of the many reasons I hated living in MD.. Now, inspection? What inspection?! hahah and really, they dinged you for a worn seat? Reminds me of the time they dinged me for having a dash light on.... the idiot had hit the O/D button and the nice 'O/D OFF' light was illuminated in the dash...

    Rebuild Date?

    'Improvement' is a relative term ;) Modification, revision, or change, would be a more accurate description, IMO.

    PNW Info Thread!

    I spent some time with him a couple weeks ago. Despite the situation, and the obvious pain, he was still making jokes...still thinking of others before himself. Godspeed.

    Alternator woes

    I asked about that when I first joined... Was still told no.. I believe it's a contractual issue for revenue generation on the site... Just like they have govliquidation.com ads but don't allow us to post links to GL.

    Alternator woes

    TY, I was looking for specs so I could procure locally, but I ended up going to 'a place' and getting an alternator for $100.. :D

    Alternator woes

    My M1010 alternator looks like it'll work.... Need a bushing to take up the slack (~3 inches too short), and a pulley... I'm not finding jack %&% on the swap, only people saying 'do it'.. So, I need a part # for a pulley, at a minimum... which I spent 4 hours searching for... and can't...

    "We the children" an observation about our civil liberties when collecting MV curios

    Armor is scary. There is no real threat as anyone could buy an armored truck for less than one could buy an uparmored HMMWV or MRAP at auction.. No reason someone can't up armor their own rigs... AR500 plates are fairly inexpensive..

    Alternator woes

    So, I noticed my M934 starting slower and slower... and noticed the gauge was in the red... Went to go check the alternator and both belts were gone... Then I noticed the pulley was loose... Pulled the alternator, and realized the pulley and shaft index points for the key were pretty hosed...

    Well, I won the M934A2 I was bidding on!!

    Slept in the cab? Lol. Took me a week driving my M934 from Bragg to Lewis...taking it easy.... mattress and sleeping bag in the back..heheh . I too had a tire issue..... drivers side rear rear.. (rear axle, drivers side, outboard tire)..

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Ugh. Pulled the alternator off... Keyway on the pulley and shaft were toast.. used a bigger key and wedged it in there for short term fix.. Got the alternator back in...and promptly sheared a bolt on the regulator housing...tried soldering...no joy... tried drilling it out....no joy...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Started up the M934.. Been noticing that the last couple of times, it's been starting slower and slower.... then noticed that the battery meter was in the red.. Whoops! Checked the batteries, seemed fine albeit low on juice.. tapped gauge.. no change... Pulled out my multimeter, about to check...

    Factory setup has a fuel heater, and water in fuel sensor. That spin on has neither. You should see 2 plugs on the firewall hanging near the rear of the intake...
