    What's your Deuces' name?

    My M109 is called "Troll" has named by the Michigan National Guard. Notice my navigator in the passenger seat? We were headed home from the 09 SS Georgia Rally and stopped for fuel in Macon GA. Why are my turn signals always on? How did I catch that? See it?

    Down side to putting a 6.5 turbo in my 1009?

    I don't know if you have seen this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/27571-cucv-build-here-we-go-again.html I have seen this truck many times at the Florida rally site. He put in a 6.5 with turbo, the only draw back so far seems to be a overheating problem at highway speeds. I.E. 70...

    383 in M1008...No Power!

    I recommend reading this article about duel fuel conversion to clear up how it works. Also look what they have on the dyno! A M715! Dual-Fuel Propane System Install - 4Wheel & Off-Road Magazine

    2012 Ga Rally parts wanted/for sale/swap thread

    Cutlass hubs. These are the one's Kenny wants to sell. I did not put the center drive wheel in when I put them on. I did not want to use them for off roading, just use them to stop the front end and cover my bearings. To engage them you lift the lever out of the body and rotate the lever and...

    New to the SS family looking for answers

    They can leak fuel into the crankcase. They cannot be repaired and get bypassed.

    Atlanta area: M1009 batteries

    Throw in a set of Group 24 batteries. Go to a battery supplier like Interstate and ask for blems. You may need to modify your hold downs. Cheaper than 6TLs!

    New to the SS family looking for answers

    Not quite correct. You can run any approved fuels. These engines are multifuel at their heart. That comes from the design of their pistons, compression ratio- 22 to 1, and injectors. They will burn almost any fuel with a BTU rating. Bypassing the FDC does not change that. It was to keep the...

    How full to fill Tank

    I do put all I can on road trips. If will be setting it will be an inch or two below the top. Your fuel cap is not vented so excess fuel will make its way to the venting system where it does not need to be.

    At least he has the state! It is hard to help people or meet them if you don't know how close you are to them.

    need to replace non metal fuel lines at IP

    Go to Napa or a truck supply house and get some new line and some new ferules. this would be a good time to bypass the FDC if it is still hooked up.

    Solar Panel for M109 Shop Van

    Refrigerators pull less 500 watts now days. Stop by Home Depot and read some of the spec labels on them, you will be surprised how little watts they pull. Many M109s on here have solar panels.
