    Swollen glow plug removal

    I had one that wasn't too swollen I got out by firing the engine with it loose. Worth a shot.

    So what is more fun, recovering a 5 ton or two 2.5 tons?

    Double deuce for sure. Nothing better than something bad going right and not costing you a fortune. Just good clean, maybe wet, fun.

    Medium towbar adapters?

    Are the external dimensions the same between 1" pin adapters and 3/4" pin adapters for hummers? I have access to 1" drills I just don't want to weaken an adapter by doing it.

    Gas engine conversion

    If I get a truck that has a non-running 6.2 it's cheaper and easier to drop a gas engine in it. I'm not willing to mess with a GL crate motor. I'm not worried about mileage. This would be for mostly in town driving. I've got a crewcab Dmax for a dailey driver. There's always my 454 under...

    Gas engine conversion

    Has anybody published a what's needed list to convert a CUCV to a gas engine? There's a few parts trucks on GL that might be a good start. I have no interest in replacing the diesel if it needs major work. So far my list is this. 1. Gas engine with carb, mech fuel pump, and HEI ignition -...

    cucv m1009

    The front bumper looks like a standard Warn winch bumper with the blackout lights and slave plug moved. The brush guard was added later. I've seen the rear before but can't place it. Is it really an M1009? The slave plug looks to be old style not NATO and the hood ornament and tailgate...

    Deuce Suspension Mods

    There's a lot of stresses put on the suspension during a turn. Dropping leaves out of the springs gives you more lateral control without putting all the stress into the torque rods. Looking at it again you wouldn't need blocks but shorter u-bolts. An alternate is to delete the springs and...

    Deuce Suspension Mods

    Bags will limit your overall travel a bunch but my first low budget idea is to add bags on top of the axles. I'm being overly simplistic and only on my second beer of the night. The spings would be reduced leaving only the longest two. Blocks would take up the rest of the space. I'd leave...

    Tractor drag winch?

    OK Ok, I'll painfully go back through Sept and October's Hot Chick's on the local radio's web site to find her!!! So what's the story on the winch? I was thinking of a 10 ton wanna be. Take an M813, medium wheel base. Convert to a 5th wheel and add the winch behind the cab. Change the...

    Any of you chaps going to the the War and Peace show?

    Joe spend the money and start the passport process now. My work has a location near Cambridge England and I've traveled there many times. Unfortunatley it's expensive in country due to the exchange rate. Other than that public trans is easy to use. Depending on your site seeing wants a car...

    Tractor drag winch?

    We always powered out the winch on the 10 ton. I couldn't imagine trying to pull a 7/8" cable very far.

    gooseneck?

    I've seen std semi tractors with a ball mounted behind the 5th wheel. Most of them look like the ball is set between the frame rails or the mounting plate is below the frame not on top.
