Postman dropped the package off today! I'm impressed, just appears to have some muted colors, not a real issue. I have yet to install, just tested inside. 18 feet of video extension wire seems adequate if using the holes under the seats. Tomorrow, the AC compressor should be arriving. I...

The ONLY thing they share is bell housing bolt pattern.

I use a Mity Vac hand vacuum pump with reservoir to prime diesel fuel systems. Do NOT pressurize the tank, that is a good way to increase its capacity. You can pull the fuel faster as you have a 14 PSI driving force, atmospheric pressure. I wouldn't put more than 10 PSI in a tank as these are...

Nearly all metals catalyze vegetable oil polymerization. That "boiled" term in linseed oil is usually replaced with a metal catalyst. Japan Drier is one such product, most types are cobalt (purple) or iron (red-orange). Lead has been used in the past, hence the lead-based paint issue. I...

Vegetable oil is a TOTALLY different chemical than any mineral oil. Vegetable oils and all biologic oils are triglycerides, esters in chemical terms. Meaning they are combinations of fatty acids and glycerine, a triple alcohol. The reactivity is still there, the fatty acids are aided by...

Filtering will not prevent damage with waste vegetable oil. Period. It will corrode and plug any fuel system, even those plated in 24 karat gold. The only way to use it in any fuel system is to convert it to biodiesel. Even then, it will still polymerize. Virgin vegetable oil will stick...

You need to cut a window for the shifter and work out the cross member. Here is more help: 1986 Chevy 1 Ton 5 Speed Manual Transmission Swap - 4Wheel & Off-Road Magazine

The brakes and suspension are about the only difference. Aside from the few models using the 205 transfer case, the 208s should exchange with the transmissions being identical. Be careful on civy parts, these are all J code diesels without EGR. CDR valves for example.

Good luck with it. The alternators are reliable, the Duvac system isn't.

It may last longer. I doubt total base number has dropped for new oils. I would suppose the extreme pressure lubricant (ZDDP for example) will be higher in this off-road oil, EP packages have been reduced for post 2006 on road engines since these can foul catalysts and particulate filters...

Even if it is around 140 amperes, that would be a great improvement if you are swinging heavy loads. Could be oval magnet wire which has better winding characteristics. Let us know how it turns out. I would be interested.

200 amperes? I doubt that stator is anywhere near that even at an engine speed of 3400 RPM. With only the stator replaced, the number of windings must stay the same yet twice the area and mass of copper has to be stuffed into the volume. Unless the windings are silver:shock:. I believe 140...

Rock Auto, that is without core charge.

$95 for a rebuilt unit. I would say the complexity and critical application rule out DIY options.

The condenser is a capacitor, it functions as a voltage spike absorber, the very high resistance you were seeing might mean it is defective but 1.5 megaohms is nothing in a 12 or 24 volt system. It needs to be connected to properly function, otherwise voltage will not be stable.

Don't use waste vegetable oil. It corrodes the system. Viton can be attacked by acidic waste vegetable oil. If you have a source of WVO, convert it to biodiesel.

Yes, air conditioning draws power. Automotive air conditioning is far greater than most window units and rivals smaller central units. Hydraulic driven would work, only because the CUCV uses the power steering pump for brakes and steering, I'd rather not jeopardize that system. I thought of...

Right now, I've got about $100 in the AC project. Using an inverter was my initial idea but the space issue killed it. You need a dual hose unit, none are small enough. The electric motor is a gamble, I don't have a firm output graph and it is an orphan motor from surplus. Impressive 34...

I'm converting the center red clearance lights to high mounted :mrgreen: center brake lights. Bringing the 1031 into the 21st century, eh? Right now, my focus is on air conditioning. Yeah, air conditioner. 28 volt, 3 HP electric motor driven compressor with aftermarket evaporator.

Way too cheap NOT to do. Although I would mount the camera a bit higher on mine. I'll be back after more credit card abuse :driver:. The camera is a MUST mod.
