Whatever it is, we in the fire service call it "job security". Keep up that sort of brilliant behavior and you will eventually end up in the back of my box.
Patience. Getting parts isnt as easy as going to autozone. Alot of stuff can still be had, and easily, by some dealers found here on the site. But parts come by a fedex guy, not a counterperson. Upswing is that the truck is designed to be fixed with handtools and duct tape in the field a...
Might not be the speedo or the cable... Check out the module that inserts into the transmission. More than likely the nylon gear inside is shot. Try replacing or at least checking it out.
Stang aint kidding. Drive it around for a week or 2 w/o that support and you will be drilling on the starter bolts with your set of easy outs, 6 mos tops.
Ask me how I know...
Was looking through some old threads and wanted to touch up my cargo cover on the deuce. Called GMA to see if they could sell me some dye or touch up and Emily said she would have to call me back to see if its available to the public. What-eva!
I dragged my blazer up I65 from Camp Shelby to bee-yoo-tee-full Hobart on a towbar my buddy and I made. No blazer issues, zip tied the drive shaft to the frame, and heard a buzzing for a couple of days after I got out of the truck.
How do folks flat tow their jeeps behind their motorholmes w/o...
Whats a used Bluebird Wunderlodge going for these days?
So, you have a really nice deuce motorhome and you paid a ton to have it built. So do you go on ebay? Autotrader? Nahhh.... CL??!!? Because its a super way to get those hi dollar buyers...?
They supposedly dont have any heavy equipment there. They need some trucks and some dozers. GL seems to have more of that stuff still for sale. Get a deuce from GL or another private collector. Theres folks in Haiti who need water and food and they need a truck to get it there. You wanna...
CUCVs and Deuces are still easier to work on than hot wenches....
I got the 1008 from the city. It may not have had 30 rd mags or roboimpacts but it does have a nifty alluminum tool box still with it. Plow mount too. Aint much but whaddya 'spect for $100 :wink:
Just put one of Wolverine Tech's/Avenge USA's alts in this past weekend.
Works well and wasnt too difficult to install, although included instructions with pics or diagrams in the proper sequence would have been welcomed. Other than that, the alt is functioning, warrantied, and cheaper to...
WHERE can I get those rubber floor pieces??!! I surely didnt notice them in my LMC catalog...
I painted my floor with brush in heruliner, couple of gals of it just up infront of the rear seat to firewall and sprinkled kitty litter/oil dry for "grippage". Put several coats over the first coat...
I can hear the voice of Sherriff John Burnell now:
"He was hopped up on a lethal concoction of methaamphetamine and antifreeze. Couple that with bad brakes and he was 7 tons rolling death..."
lol
Fellas, my clutch just died last night after putting my tools back in the blazer (was pulling a cucv front bumper/clevis tiedowns/push bar from the local boneyard- $30).
This is the 2nd clutch in about 2yrs. There was no resistance in the felt gutters, its that lame ass cast aluminum clutch...
I would bet youre getting power to only a few of the plugs. Confirm youre getting 12v to ALL plugs. Heavy white smoke and hard starting sound like unburned fuel; ie: plugs not getting hot enough. Starter working well? If its not getting enough juice to spin the motor fast enough it cant...
I bought the ol lady some new tires for her jeep about 6mos ago. I have some cupping on the rear tire. I will be speaking to the gurus at wallyworld asking for some pro rating/replacing real soon.
My point is recaps, if done right, are probably as good as brand new tires. With proper...
This is a pic out the front of my M1009 (remarkably, with HEAT now!) of State Park Rd at Kemil Beach, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. This was last night when Michigan City got 12-14" of snow yesterday. From this stop sign Lake Michigan is about 100yrds out.
Im still a child. For some reason...
