A few questions, you mention checking timing based on ear and feel. Sounds like experience. Any advice for the uninitiated? Your airbags, did they replace the bump stops on the rear and how do you fill them up and empty them? On board tools, storage actively used at work? Is the on board genny...

I think you're following a different recipe for your twins, but here's some motivation.

Keith_J thanks for the smile this morning, happy to read that that you were able to resuscitate your IP. You say another hat tip, so you're happy with the product, do you use it only for corrective maintenance or preventive as well? Also good news on your exhaust, not having to change it all...

Rock on Olly. I've enjoyed following your CUCV modifications and look forward to seeing what you do here.

I'd like to second this petition.

I think it's totally worth the effort, I also am looking forward to using it on the vehicles this year.

Thank you. I'm not trying to build a fire breathing monster, I know the 6.x is the wrong platform for that, I'm just trying to help it out. With the intake mostly wrapped up, next on the list, if there was one, is the exhaust. The idea there is to use a flange to clear the 1 7/8" diameter...

She got a snorkel. I read a Technical article written by Metrodps over on CK5 a few times (link) and did it. K9vic and readyman have shown similar setups here and here. Purchased from Ebay, $80 shipped. Pictures because it happened: I did a few things differently from Metrodps, such as: as...

Last month I started a few projects on the ambulance, managed to finish one of them and made progress on the others. The one I finished was replacing the rear marker lights. New sockets and lenses. A simple task by itself but after replacing the sockets I could not get them to work. Long story...

Welcome aboard, good luck in your search.

Charging forward! Bonus points for finding and using the the Tach. signal, good call [thumbzup].

I'm happy with the products I've purchased from Blue Sea, I used the fuse block linked bellow to replace the 12v block. https://www.bluesea.com/products/7725/SafetyHub_100_Fuse_Block About fuse size, I don't know enough to tell you what's best for that scenario. Hopefully a member in the know...

I may be mistaken, it certainly wouldn't be the first time, but AFAIK, m38inmaine's only replaced the top alt. with a 12v Leece Neville (110-555JHO) leaving the bottom alt. to satisfy the 24v needs and ChevyC60 replaced both alts with the 12v Leece Neville (110-555JHO). So your diagram would be...

Wanted to like the previous post, on account of you getting her running and moving, but hard to do so with the possibility of a blown HG. Good to read that appears to be negative. Solid progress,[thumbzup]

Added a dual voltage voltmeter, it replaced a 12v voltmeter that occupied the original vm spot (truck was converted to 12v when I bought it). I wanted the ability to monitor both 12v and 24v sides and was not willing to relocate the rear door adjar light. Original dash is unmolested except...

I'd double check the GP electrical schematic and the wiring on the bottom stud of your GP relay. ... About your 12v feed, there is nothing wrong with bypassing the resistor bank, IMHO, but I would use a larger gauge cable and feed from another 12v source. A couple threads on the matter...

I disassembled the ambulance body wiring harness and removed wires from it belonging to circuits that would no longer be used. Many of the lighting fixtures were MIA when I got it and will not be replaced. From this: To this: And then back to harness: To replace the junction panel...

I'd like to go, but I'm currently scheduled to be "on call" that weekend. If something changes, I will be there in a CUCV and would also camp.

Congratulations on the checkered flag! Specs on cart? Less than $10 bucks a shock, good score.

That's a good looking dash cruzer747. I really like how you got the fuel gauge to fit, nice work! For the missing plug, you could try posting up an ad in the parts wanted section of the classifieds, here.
