    Engine shut off/locked up. Will not crank.

    The part about the pegged oil pressure and the clean oil keeps haunting me. I am thinking a main oil passage or filter was clogged and not circulating any oil through the motor. Sparks out the bottom could be a failed engine but it would be REAL obvious! That sounds like clutch. I am betting...

    Won My First GL Genset Trailer

    My bad, I have never seen one in person. Unless you want it for restoration I would build a box on the trailer floor and run longer cables into the housing. I know how you feel though, you want everything correct. I am the same way usually. Rick

    Won My First GL Genset Trailer

    51R's are 12 volts. Put them in series to get 24 volts. They might even fit the holder, not sure on that one. My 002A uses two 51R's stock. Actually it calls for 2HN. I just used two group 24's in series. I don't have the ASK, wish I did. Rick

    Won My First GL Genset Trailer

    Any 12 volt automotive battery will work, two in series. Just make up your own tie down and holders. Rick

    Front locker guys check in "1028+31"

    I had a CUCV, M1008, that had lockers front and back. Very seldom had to have the front locked in four wheel drive in but it would turn fine as long as you were not powering into the turn. When not locked into four wheel drive but with the hubs locked it was like any other vehicle, no problems...

    Info on Diesel Fuels

    Supply and demand translated, more profit for the oil companies = more kickback for the politicians. Wait until the food and clothing prices start jumping up because of higher fuel prices. People don't think about that.

    Gonna need some help please!!

    I have been a member here for roughly 6 years but I was helping people retrieve trucks for ten years before that. I don't ask for any more than what I have to put out of my pocket. I am not well to do, far from it, so I know what it is like to have an OD addiction and sometimes you have to jump...

    M1009 got hit this morning

    I am pretty sure the bumper is a standard bumper for a blazer and has been cut out for the lights and clevis brackets. Granted it is easier to use one already prepared. I would agree on OEM parts but I think that quarter could be repaired. I have repaired much worse then that, and with little to...

    Does this look safe to you ?

    Are they using lift blocks on the front axle also? The u-bolt configuration is fine as long as you straighten them as mentioned. The tire to tank, WOW! Pick up a rock in the tire and you will slash the tank top to bottom. Rick

    Well, You may have me there, maybe, I think, Don't know.................:roll: Compression ratio is a mechanical thing where compression pressure is a math thing. Compression ratio is a result of the stroke of the piston. Compression pressure is a result of the compression of the mixture minus...

    Good Trade?

    Just goes to show that the old adage "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is" is once again right. Think about it, If he is building Hummers how hard would it be for him to bob a deuce? I would love to see one of the Hummers he is putting out.

    another 700r4 queston

    Won't you have a detent mismatch between the column and the transmission? I guess as long as the neutral detent is in the right spot you are alright. When I considered doig the swap on mine I was told by a tranny rebuilder friend of mine that the column would need to be changed so you did not...

    Bitten by a drill.

    Definitely get it looked at, a deep down infection can lead to blood poisoning or even gangrene! I can tell you that grinders also bite. They bite real hard when you have a brand new flap disc wheel and you catch your thumb with the edge of it. That was last May and it has not completely healed...
