    m215 in the movies

    I was watching that one too. Funny thing is, 2 of the "scud launchers" are sitting in a yard near to me. The owner used to loan out MV's to the movie companies. I got to hear how he had to mock up the missiles and the launchers and what it took to raise them up in the launch position.

    M1009 with 15k miles won't start

    Not sure is the fuel push rod setup is the same for the Diesel and Gas engines. But on a SB chevy block (Gas) the mechanical pump push rod has to be put in the block before the cam shaft is inserted and pushes down to the fuel pump. So if you don't get it lined up, it drops to the bottom of...

    Lighting upgrades

    No they wouldn't. There is no heat being generated by the LEDs themselves. I have the winterization cover for my deuce and it has the lexan covers over the headlight area so even when I had the standard bulbs, the snow would build up on the lexan covers instead of the lights.

    New M1009 Owner - My Daughter!

    I've got a 4"lift on my Non MV Blazer and run 35 x12.5's on it. Works well with no clearance issues as long as I keep all 4 wheels on the ground.:-D

    Help! recovering underpowered deuce

    It depends on how close they already are, but I'd say between an 1/8th and 1/4 turn would be a good start. But remember, go too far and you'll run out of pedal travel, so test the travel before you start to drive it again.

    Help! recovering underpowered deuce

    You got it, in a pinch, adjust the leading edge adjuster on each wheel. Drivers side 11 o'clock Passenger 1 o'clock The closer the leading edge is will give you more brakes, go too much and they'll lock up as they get warmer. I've ran a feeler gauge through mine, it gets you close. :)

    Nope they're not the self adjusting type.. Their an offset cam setup that push on the shoe (1 per shoe). Pictured is the front axle, but is the same for all axles.

    Tranny Flush

    So name your favorite flush method. I changed my gear oil in my tranny on the Deuce a couple of weeks ago, and put in MobilHD plus 80W-90 that conforms to the MIL-PRF-2105E standard. Soon after I changed the gear oil I noticed that when I would shift into 4th gear, the syncro's were really...
