    S-280 camper build

    For the roof, if you have a second sheet, you might devise a way to mount the second sheet an inch or two above the first, but eliminate the sides. The idea being like a shade tarp. I don't know how dificult it would be to make, but I suspect it would really get rid of a lot of heat. I got the...

    S-280 camper build

    The part in pic 4 is the top mount point for the dolly set. 1 and 2 in the pic bellow. The part in pic 5 is what the dolly set hooks into. I have a M720 dollyset that I use with my S280 shelter. TM 9-2330-285-14&P/TO 36A11-21-10-1.

    M1009 No start/crank

    The relay is activated by a 12 volt source, but switches the 24/12 volts to the glow plugs. Disconnect the contact portion of the relay and see if it still chatters. If it still chatters, then remove the relay and hook the coil of the relay up to the battery with a good cable and see if it...

    M1009 No start/crank

    If you end up needing a GP controller, I suspect you could buy one from antennaclimber. I wouldn't think shipping would be that bad, and his prices are excellent. Also, they are new, not refurbished.

    M1009 No start/crank

    My guess is that it is the glow plug module or the glow plug relay. Try pulling the module and looking for fried components. Also clean the contacts on the board edge. Just use a pencil erasser to shine them up.

    Welcome Yoeri from the left coast (California). I remember climbing lots of stairs inside the Atomium back in '61 on a vacation to Europe while in school in England.

    First time CUCV owner - What should I do for initial PM/upgrades?

    Down load all the TMs from this site. Check starter support for missing bracket. I would put 35s on. (needs simple lift like fliping spring brackets I believe and clipping fender.) Put in new springs and bushings on front end. put in a solargizer to keep your batteries from sulfide buildup. (I...

    Interpreting Diagnosic Connector?

    Sorry for the mislead. My post was in reference to CUCVRUS's tongue in cheek response to my previous post. Reread his post and it will clear things up. His references are to the movie "Back to the future"

    Interpreting Diagnosic Connector?

    Cool! Glad you liked it, just remember to use the correct inverse flux cable to connect to the modified diag connector. Let me know if you need the plans for modifying the connector.

    M1008 Hard starting afer sitting few days

    I am not sure, but I think you can get away with just swapping the o-ring. Others will chime in I'm sure.

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    You may not want to go that tall, but at least increase it a bit. It is very easy to forget about pushing it too fast, especially if you run into time sensitive problems.

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    I would suggest going with the 35 inch tires or she will be stuck going 55 mph and tempted to go faster resulting in blowing the 6.2 l engine. Also if you upgrade the tires, then put new or upgrade kingpin springs and bushings. You really want to minimize the possability of her having to deal...

    Hey Rich, got a link to the springless kit? Also Do you remember the size of the washer you used so I'll have everything ready when I tackle this job. Thanks a bunch! Bruce

    Mounted HMMVE 37's now extreme death wobble

    Yes it is jumping the gun, but on an old truck it is probably a good idea to replace the springs and bushings. And although I haven't done this myself, it looks to be a reasonably easy procedure. Just my two cents.

    Mounted HMMVE 37's now extreme death wobble

    My guess is it is the springs and bushings in the king pin assembly. There is more leverage due to the taller tires is what I would think. I started off with the HMMVE 37's and had the same problem. I switched to 35's and it mostly went away. I still need to do the king pin assembly over haul...

    Coordination of Tri-walls surplus items - Forum Suggestion

    Just a thought. Seems this might make for an interesting project for some teen to go through boxes of this stuff and try to find out what it was and learn about military stuff. i know that when I was a kid I would have loved a project like this.
