    Fort Leonard Wood to Fort Riley

    Ahh the flashbacks of being a young troop in the back of a duece. Best rides where when a car with some young women was behind ya- we had about a 25% success rate getting a flash:grin:

    1986 M1028, 454 Gasser......?

    It is definitely a swap. you can see where they pulled all the wiring off the firewall, and it still has a hydrovac brake booster, the factory gas truck would have a vacuum booster.

    Pulling 2 M101 trailers

    I have seen people do it, but every one has said that above 45mph they weave and fishtail and that emergency stopping is quite dangerous. Stack em.

    BOLO missing truck

    That would be my suggestion as well. First you need to send him a certified letter. The text you need to use is here: 16-9-20.html Then after he accepts the letter, or it is returned undelivered, take the copies down and file a warrant. Augusta, GA - Official Website - Citations The law...

    6.5 high performance diesel engine swap

    Unloaded, running 65 on the highway I can get it over 20mpg down in the flatlands. Averages around 19 here the mountains due to all the hils. The lower 1st and 2nd gears are a noticeable difference. Only drawback is that the 2-3 shift is wider, so once you downshift to 2nd on a hill you are...

    6.5 high performance diesel engine swap

    That would be it. After shipping and having your driveshaft shortned, figure $3500 in it if you install it yourself. You could have a good transmission builder build a 700r4 to handle the power of the 6.2 for half that, installed.

    6.5 high performance diesel engine swap

    Not $5000 worth of better. And I have owned one. You can get a GET block and heads from a GL 6.5 and build one for a fraction of that.

    6.5 high performance diesel engine swap

    A 6.5 without a turbo is going to make a few more HP than your 6.2, that is all.

    Wrecker to drag a MK17 onto a semi step trailer?

    Ok, on the front of your MK17 should be 2 shackles. Hook a tow bar here. Doesn't have to be perfect, some slack is ok we are going real slow here. Now back your wrecker up to it and hook the towbar to your pintle hook. Now you can back up and push the MK-17 with the tow bar. To let it back...

    starter stuck on

    When I disconnect the front ground, I get no power to anything. Unless the ground isn't properly isolated on the alternator feeding the read battery, I don't see where it would backfeed through?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Unless I am missing something, opening the ground on the front battery should kill all the power to the electrical system.

    cucv starter issues i.e. starter drag

    There are several thinknesses of shims out there, and each truck is different. Best advice is to try without one first, and if it grinds or binds then add shims until it works properly. None of my trucks need a shim.
