I get a kick out of the bug-out theory's that abound on here. Everyone always seems to forget that there will be hundreds of thousands of other people out there desperate for food and fuel. I seriously doubt there will be any standing fuel laying around not to mention the thousands of people...
You say you are looking for maximum fuel storage correct? Why do you want to remove the stock tank if you put one in the bed? That is 20 more gallons you can carry and it is in a place where it is out of the way. I have a 75 gallon tank in my Dodge that gravity feeds the stock tank. You have to...
A CUCV is NOT a multifuel! It is designed to burn diesel and diesel only. You are answering your own questions here. the less oil the less smoke, that should be telling you something.
Well sir you never have to worry about me getting upset about the extra hardware pictures, I am behind you all the way. GD, I also like your choice of rock crawler.8-) I haven't ridden in years and I don't know if I even still can with my bad back.
Young lady, You need to get back to work on...
Should have left those pics in, gives it character.8-) Makes us oppressed types in no carry states feel good about you lucky ones.[thumbzup] I hate working in the cold because as you work you get hot, when you get hot you sweat, when you sweat you get wet and then you REALLY freeze your arse...
I noticed the added piece off "hardware" on the engine. Barn critters? Or are you afraid someone might abscond with your engine for a rock buggy?:lol:

I am confused, he said he was headed for the Bakken but that is mostly in North Dakota and the far eastern corner of Montana. He is way west in Montana. Maybe I missed something? No matter what it is one heck of a trip!

If it had soot on the injector then it was probably leaking in the past also. That soot does not build up in a few seconds, it take a while. flooding is not likely in a running motor, you would have to have complete injector failure and even then there is not enough fuel injected by the pump to...
He notified you that "he" had the money, problem is that you have heard that before. Do NOT give him the benefit of the doubt again and go through with the charges until you have the money in YOUR hands. You can always drop the charges if you feel inclined. In this case I would not feel inclined...
The flexplate is the automatic transmission version of the flywheel. It is much easier to just unbolt the transmission and move it straight back, replace the wheel and put the transmission back forward. If you have a lift and a trans jack it should take a couple of hours. Working on the ground...
Don't forget to check the fuel return line also, if it is pinched you will have those symptoms. Ether will break a crank in half in a hurry! That is on ANY 6.2/6.5, not just the military ones.

That is a very good point for you guys that like to wheel your trucks and twist them all to ****. You might want to take a good look at those rivets and also for any rust tracks where the frame pieces connect that might indicate movement. The rivets can be replaced with like sized grade 8 bolts...
Check the front axle u-joints out by the wheels. Popping from the transfer would be the chain and that is rare for these unless it has really been hammered on by the PO.

I was thinking the same thing about the frame but I didn't see much of anything in the video. Of coarse it is empty, I am sure there would be some bending if it were loaded.
