    Plug / Grommet Hole

    Rubber Plug I bought a rubber shock mount from the "Help" rack at the Auto parts store. Works perfect if you want the antenna hole and not entirely plug the hole.

    What did I get myself into?

    I paid the same money for a similar condition truck W/W. I was lucky to drive it home 150 Miles. However 1 of 3 trucks I was driving home did not make it. After my time, tow bill and having to go back and get it I wish I would have paid the $500.00 to have it hauled.

    no fuel getting to injectors

    Real easy thing to do is disconnect the line at the tank and injector pump and blow shop air through it. Friend of mine did this to his and found the line had some junk in it. After he did that it idled and ran better, stop stahling. Hope that's all it is.

    Poll

    When I first saw the MXT driving down the Hi-way I thought it was a new H1. It sure is ugly in pictures, but looks awesome running down the road.

    Poll

    Just curious, if you had the choice and more importantly the money, would you buy an H1 or MXT. I'm in between and if my Lottery numbers come in I'm gonna get one of them.

    Special Tool Needed?

    I will be putting the heads back on my Multi-Fuel soon and I am stumped on how to toque the drivers side head bolts/Nuts. I had to heat and bend a 7/8s wrench to get them off, as I could not get a socket to fit in between the head and nut. I am guessing maybe a Crows Foot? Anyone know the trick?

    Ever hit a Sub-Compact?

    When I was enlisted as a 63S, I went to 3rd shop with a 88M (might have wrong MOS, a truck driver), to pick up a Deuce and as we pulled out she drove into the outer lane and then back into the inner lane. When we arrived at the motor pool we were greeted by the MP's and a soldier witha lil...

    New M1009 Owner In Need of HELP!

    I eliminated the glow plug card and wait light and also put a manual switch in both of my trucks. Works great. I think there is something in the resources under the technical help. I have had to pull my manifold off a couple of times. Looks like more work than it actually is, but yes it makes...

    Putting a cigarette lighter in a CUCV

    Buy a fuse with a tab off the top of it so you can get 12volts from the fuse box. Very simple process. I did this to mine and it works great. I plug my GPS into it.
