The submarine people I have know always point out to me that there are a lot more airplanes in the water than submarines in the air. They kind of have a point.

Swapping a better column as mentioned above is the easiest and cheapest way to get what you want. Tilt wheel looseness and wiper switch activation are the things to look out for. I think I am pretty good at working on stuff but those stupid wiper switches have always gotten the best of me...

I have done the dry gasket way, the rtv with gasket way and the no gasket with just right stuff method. All work great. To me the thin metal valve covers are the problem. They bend if you look at the sideways. I have found that the ball end of a ball peen hammer whacked against the head side of...

The banks kit was designed as a stand alone add on kit. Besides turning the fuel up just a tad, nothing else is meant to be changed with the engine. I think Keith is right on with the initial timing of your IP a bit too advanced. The cold start advance solenoid being on just makes it more...

I forgot about even asking about the timing. Good call Keith. What is the timing mark at?

Yes, the -34 manual covers removal as does the HMMWV -34 manual. To me the hardest part is the one arm push ups required to do the job. Some kind of powered socket driver makes this a lot better. Pull the intake manifold. Pull the fuel injector metal lines. An 11/16” crow foot wrench is...

There are two kinds of white smoke: Fluffy white that has an antifreeze smell. Normally this means head gasket issues. Dirty white with a diesel tint to it. This means not enough heat. If you are getting a continuous cloud, not just a puff at start up. Then once it is running, you are not...

There is a very large number of CUCV owners in the Austin area. You aren't alone with this problem on an island. That being written. Yes, it is much cheaper and satisfying to do the work yourself. I would suggest you click the "Home" button at the top left of the screen. Then go to the CUCV...

So I logged 1225 miles in 3 days. Running 76 mph for a few hundred miles got me 16 to 17 mpg. 82 mph for 317 miles and 3000 feet of elevation gain got me 13.6. 82 mph had a steady 2-3 psi of boost on flat ground with 650° to 800° egt. Which was all well and good until long grades came along. I...

I am under the impression all of the CUCV trucks had the same engine from the factory the entire production run. They have the same cast engine number and the same part number. My 1985 versions do great.

Exactly, that is why I have just left it. I topped the Cowdog off with fuel this morning on my way to work. Tomorrow I will load it with gear and youth. 15 of us are going to drive all day and about 600 miles to Guadalupe Mountains National Park. We plan to summit the highest peak in Texas...

Antenna Climber has made and sold some in the past. Otherwise, you are looking at finding a good used one somewhere.

Post #169 in this thread shows my pictures of the rear M1008 bumper and brackets before they got installed. I ended up cutting the frame some and moving the brackets on the bumper just a little bit. Except, I welded one of them back on the bumper about 1/4" too high. So, now I have to live...

Those do look very well made and seem to be a viable choice for the M1009 trucks if you already have a receiver hitch installed. Having written that. I built a swing away carrier for my Cowdog Suburban. It functions perfectly, holds a pair of Gerry cans or a Gerry can and my CO2 tank, HILIft...

There are 3 main parts that have to work together for the glow plugs to function. The temperature sensor in the drivers side head at the rear, the glow plug relay and the glow plug card. Plus all the wires in between, the glow plugs themselves, both batteries load tested at full strength, the...

Jennifer doesn't call you Evil Joe for no reason. Yes, the GL1100 would be worth a road trip.

If you have fuel at the the 8 injectors. Then the pink wire is connected and the solenoid is working. It also means the engine should start. Are you getting any dirty white smoke out the exhaust while cranking? If so, that means fuel but no heat inside the engine. Back to the glow plugs to...

Chris, no worries on too much boost. It is neat to actually get above 10 psi. Just to know it can. I imagine the times it gets that high will be few and far between. I purposely left the GEP NA 6500 bottom end alone and kept the 22.5:1 compression pistons. I wanted as much non turbo umph as...

That looks good. I like the running boards and how your rear cargo doors actually look closed all the way.

Thank you gentlemen. I topped off this morning. 432 miles on the tank that was filled the day I noticed no boost. All the hot rodding around, daily driving to work and over 200 miles of 70-80 mph cruising still got me over 14 mpg. It was actually .24 below my total average since new. (These...
