    Harmonic Damper

    The rubber in harmonic balancers deteriorates with age whether they run or not. Just like the rubber in motor mounts and transmission and transfer case mounts. Running down the highway at full throttle and never changing a harmonic balancer do not go together on any vehicle the age of these...

    NP241 Transfer Case

    I have run several 205 transfer cases. Both 4 speeds and 400 automatics. They all shift out of 4 high best by going forward then let off gas and shift to 2 high. To shift out of 4 low stop, put transmission in neutral, then shift to 2 high. If an auto doesn't shift all the way from 4 low to 2...

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

    I add Power Service diesel additive every time I fill up year around. I use winter formula in the cold months to prevent gelling. Good for the injection pump and injectors both. Also runs a little quiter.

    Rear wheels hop when in snow

    Try not having the same tire psi in front and back. Try more and less in each and see if it helps!

    M1008 - electric setup/glow plugs/loose cable

    Those terminals with the little 2 screws clamp to bare cable ends are just a bandaid fix in an emergency. Those screws can strip threads and not make good contact.

    CUCV in Alaska

    Kerosene is the same as number 1 diesel. It is a little bit lighter weight than number 2 diesel. It also has a slightly lower btu rating. Kerosene is also called coal oil and is used in coal oil lamps.
