I copied the parts I don't quite understand below. I get the jist of it that they can ask for property back and you are supposed to return it or give them who you sold it to but it doesn't really give any consequences other than having your account suspended. Say you bid on something, win it...
I'm not in love with the fact that anyone can just jump in and drive it away. Has anyone wired in an ignition key ?I was also thinking of just using a Caterpiller Ghost key switch on the Batts...Or I suppose this would work too...:D
Finally got it on the road, all registered etc. Put about 100 miles on it.
Figured out the lights finally. I wasn't operating them correctly and also found a broken wire on the brake light switch. I re plumbed the switch as it was hitting the drivers side tool box.
Some things, possible...
This will be a work in progress which I hope to get stickied as too many people have lost motors due to being unprepared for a runaway.
Runaway is when you cannot shut the engine down and it keeps gaining RPM until it self destructs. I lost my motor to it. So have other people recently which is...
I tried a quick search and did not find this so myabe it has not been posted ?
Anyway I thought it was pretty cool.

Well I decided to start another thread since this is obviously past inj pump problems. I will try to document as much as possible for future newbs to the motor swap game. As you may have read in my last thread, I basically got screwed by a dishonest seller. After post mortem on the motor I have...
Ok, I DID read alot up on these pump here in other threads. What I can't find is what the previous owner was talking about.
It sat for 6 months(according to PO). It would not start. He played around with the shutoff and said it was stuck. He said it started up but was racing. He said he took the...
Got my first Deuce...I love it. It is pretty clean. Little bit of rust here and there but the cab is spotless. It does not run. PO could not get it to start. He messed with teh fuel shut off. He said it was stuck bad. He got it to move but thinks he broke it. He said the truck started and ran...
I may have to flat tow a non running Deuce. I am on my phone so searching is very hard. Do I need to put the transfer case in neutral and how do I do that if it's not running ? I has airshift. It needs to be towed about 100 miles. I forgot to look on here last night.
Thanks
I went to the swap meet at Thompson speed way in CT and scored a like new MT28 starter for 30$ but better yet...A Snap ON MT1408 Digital timing/rpm meter WITH ALL the probes including the hard to find MT161 for the 6.2 for 60$. Snap On no longer makes the probes and there was 6 with the tool...
I did this separate from my thread about repainting so it shows up better in searches and no one has to go through what I did. This company and their paint is pure excrement. This started in Fall 2011. I prepped my CUCV and refinished the truck with Milspray restoration paint. I won't go into...
Any suggestions on paint and where to buy ? I painted it 2 years ago with Milspray and the stuff is garbage. It is peeling off in sheets and the truck was primed and prepped properly. I don't want waterbourne paint. I would prefer Real CARC paint.
Suggestions ?
Im having smoke issues and was told the advance may be worn out on my ip. The pump shop told me to depress the advance arm manually with the truck warmed up and idling and the motor should. Hange drastically. Mine just gets a little quieter. Do I need a pump ? I am
seeing excessive gray smoke...
This is gonna take me a few days to post up...
So It's been awhile and I got a bug up my ass to finaly do the turbo swap. The radiator is shot and the bottom corner is rotted so if I gotta pull the rad...Might as well go all the way. I got the 6.5 TD from my 93 that went kaplooey. Biggest...
Hey guys looking at an M54 that has no brakes at all. The owner says is needs an airpack. How available are the parts ? How does it work ? Is it an air over hydrualic system ? I am a heavy truck mech but i have never worked on one of these.
The m1008 developed a problem which has me a bit stumped. I have owned many many OBS chevy trucks and had from stock to 15 inches of lift running 44's and never seen one do what my 1008 is doing. One minute it steers fine. She'll cruise down the highway doin' 75 and I could let go of the wheel...
Well found an m1009 close to me for sale. Original paint. Not too bad rustwise. It will need rockers some front floor work and eventually the support beam the tailgate bolts to. The truck is clean mechanically as far as i could tell and was converted to a th700.
He had a donor truck and rebuilt...
