I had a Ford Courier with the 2.3 four banger. I had a replacement engine in the garage from my old Mustang II so I really didn't take care of the Courier motor; the sooner it died the sooner I could swap the motor and reclaim some space in the garage. So I never changed the oil; I didn't need...

Before you dump a lot of time and money into it, think it through. - Where will you camp? Are there places you can pull it and park? - Is the RTT better off on the roof vs the trailer? Out here we use the RTT, but the narrow abandoned logging roads in the National Forest sometimes...

As a field expedient repair, couldn't he just put all the wires on the one remaining stud? Or does that piece of metal connecting the two sides serve as a fusible link?

I spent all morning shoveling the snow off the driveway and sidewalks, and at 57 now it seems to take a bit longer. We got dumped on, probably 6"-8" which isn't much in some places, but it is here. Later in the afternoon I drove out and picked up the tires. Four good tires and 16" wheels for...

265/75-16 Load Range C tires on the CUCV. Adequate? A tiny bit narrower and a tiny bit taller. Just not sure if the M1009 is too heavy for Cs. There's a set of studded tires available locally, already mounted.

I'm very dissappinted I missed this deal. :mad:

My first M1101 was pristine, unused, except for one small dent where someone backed into it. This one has a few dents and dings, scratches, and saw limited use before the auction. It's a 20' good looking trailer. ;) It gets used, maybe not as often as some, but I don't have (or want) a...

Had some trees removed and the trailer parking pad got compacted in some areas. It needed more gravel anyway, so I went and got more.

Bring them with you when you come to WA to collect that lunch I owe you. If you tie them all together they can be your carry-on.

Like Gunzy says, push with a front receiver hitch- makes it super easy. When I worked jet engine test cell we had to put the monster TF39 engine (C-5 engine) into the test cell, lined up perfectly to get the lifting eyes under the winches, and we used the Ford F-350 bobtail with the pintle on...

Not my HMMWV, just parked together.

Always appreciate your help! That's what I'll be doing, and anti-seize gets slathered liberally over pretty much any fastener I manage to get out in one piece. If you're ever in WA please let me know, I'd love for you to drive this truck and give me an estimate of how well it is or isn't...

Those are the culprits. The center post was larger than the hole in the T25 Torx anti-tamper bit I have. I was able to get them out and back in by tapping the bit onto the head of the screw. Not the best maintenance practice I know, but finding another bit wasn't something I was going to be...

Took the governor cover off the IP and changed the shutoff solenoid. Those anti-tamper screws were a lot of drama; really not sure why they used them. None of my anti-tamper torx would fit. I ended up having to tap the T25 on with a hammer. Truck started up and I drove it around for about...

Finally was able to get outside again today and troubleshoot it some more. It fired up like normal, then died a minute later. Removing the pink wire and touching it back I hear the solenoid inside click occasionally, but not reliably every time. This is leading me to believe the solenoid is...

Working in the rain means I really don't want to throw parts at it if they aren't needed, so please bear with me. I agree about the mileage. This is a daily driver though, it never sits more than a day or two. My filter base has a pressure gauge. It's steady at 7 - 8 psi right to the point of...

Where did you buy the parts?

No, as far as I know the engine has about 30K miles on it. Cool barn! I work in the rain... Do the symptoms I describe sound like an injection pump issue? It was running strong the whole day, still running strong during the brief periods it was running.

Got the jeep back on the road- just a new oil pressure sender. The CUCV still not running right. It will start normally, run a few minutes, then shut down. I changed the filter and it ran for 10 - 12 minutes, then shut down. Wait about ten minutes, and it starts, runs a few minutes, then shuts...
