I installed the radio today, and every time I turned on the lights it would go all static. Decided to fool with the lights some and noticed they flickered with the static. Finally dawned on me. I ran a ground from the firewall to the negative of the front batt. and wala! So, to be safe, I...

That would suck. They did it to the old jeeps, what a waste of 4x4. Those jeeps would have been perfect for camp vehicles, woods wagons, doodle bugs and such.

Hope someday mine turns out as nice as that. Mine has the new york 20 year blues.

I just built boxes and put them on the fenders, pointing toward the roof. I also built small shallow boxes that fit in the kick panel space. For a light I also went the led way, with a ceramic magnet affixed to it, so I can place where I need it. I went on ebay and found a stereo that fit the...

I know on mine the battery clamps / terminals were all cracked and corroded. I bought four of the Hum -Vee clamps off of ebay and put lug ends on each of the cables. Check your terminals for issues, and where they connect to the bus bars and the starter etc.

Yeah! My bad, when I put the new battery clamps on, and then bolted the cables with the new lug ends to them, I put the star washer between the lugs and the clamps. Shows what you get hurrying to get to work. That was a serious "DUH" moment.

Batts have been lively, even with sitting for days. I didn't mess with anything other than tapping into 12volt. So, no changes to any of charging or starting systems.

Thing is, it's been right up to snuff, like perfect, up to this. Started right up, ran great. Hard to believe it's a glow plug issue. Everything still acts and sounds the same.

Oh yeah, that's a big help. That's how I got in this mess, when my Astro van burned because of spilled kero and an electrical spark, or so they say.

As a strictly winter time way to hold some heat in there. Two days now and mine won't start. Put wool blankets over the engine, closed the hood and put a propane heater under it. Also have a block heater up against the radiator trying to warm that. Got desperate, tried either after...

You've got me worried. Mine needs a thermostat too.

Me either. Wonder if the arctic kit included it.

Shaggin Waggin?

Are the diesel generators GL is liquidating, the big ones on trailers, generally working and able to be used to power a home?

The hood and the firewall are no problem. I'm not finding inner fender insulation. Seriously considering spray foam and painting it with fire resistant paint or something. Maybe even spray bed liner on top of the foam.

Anyone know of a source for fitted insulation for a chevy / cucv engine bay?

congrats on the nice axles.

It's always possible to drill out as much of the bolt as possible, and using a pointed punch, actually tap the remaing bolt out of the threads. Another way is to drill a small hole down the side of the bolt, right at the threads and bolt. Fill with penetrating oil, ie. kerosene, and then cut a...

Opened my big mouth. Went out today, it was 8 degrees, wind was blowing up under it, and no start. Figures.

Mine has started at 10 below, and no block heater in it yet.
