    SS diesel glow plugs

    I think the plugs for the humvees are different. I think they are true 24 volt an they haved a round connection instead of a spade connection. When I ordered mine it expressly said it was for the cucv and not to order the other ones for the humvee.

    It might be easier to get yours rebuilt by a quality mom and pop motor service if you have one locally.

    Radiator and master cyl.

    Most commercial flush and fills are just running water from a hose into one of the heater hoses. Look for a "power" flush. The add a cleaning solution to the rad then attach a machine that kind of power washes the inside of the cooling system. I have no experience with the CLR method. If you...

    Veteran's Day Parade - Phoenix

    The M198 howitzer and the 900 series five ton were what I was on in the first gulf war. The howitzer is a little over 15000lbs and would push the five ton around in corners and braking. You would fry a clutch and get pushed through intersection with a deuce out front. You can see the lights...

    Radiator and master cyl.

    If you are close enough to Ann Arbor you might try A and B radiator. I worked for them back in the 80's and I have never seen a more capable an honest operation. The owner's name is Larry Lakes. If he says you need something you really need it. He will not run the bill up.

    Speedo cable mystery *pics*

    The cable should go into a right angle adaptor at the transfer case. Be sure to check to see that it is working properly. If it is you probably have the same problem I had. When I got my deuce it was missing a small adapter that goes inside the transfer case that commects the tranfer case output...

    TN 5tons???

    Word to the wise. This is stuff that commercial enforcement qualified officers are aware of. Officers that are not commercial qualified may misinterpret the statute and issue you a citation. Respectfully explain that as you understand it if you are not engaged in commerce you did not need a CDL...

    TN 5tons???

    It depends if you are driving them while engaged in commerce. If you are making money by driving the truck then you need a CDL if the vehicles gross weight is above the limit. The limit in Michigan is 13000 lbs. If you are over that limit and you are using the truck to make money then you need a...

    Radiator and master cyl.

    Don't just look for a good pressure test on a rad. Check to make sure calcium deposits have not choked off the core. They can be rodded but this is expensive and is only done with very expensive rads. I used to work at a radiator shop a few years ago (20) but I can't tell you what rodding will...

    More 1009 battery problems

    RE: yup... There is a 28 volt bus bar. The slave connector connects to this. It does charge both batteries because I charged one M1009 with the other one before attempting the start. All the starter is 24 volts so this is not problem. The big resister on the firewall drops the 24 volts down to...

    Loading ramps

    I know there is a racing with 4 cylinder cars and alot of race parts are available for the ford 2.3. Did the pinto have the 2.3? Do you race the 2.3 in your pinto?. I just really like the sound of the v-8 race engines, and I just could not resist taking the stab.

    Update on my lift install!

    Vehicle manufaturers do not put useless stuff on a vehicle. This only costs them money. This is why airbags were not widely used until it was mandated. They only do things because they have to. They figured safety dictated the need for the valve so they put it on and this cost them money. If...

    Alternative Fuel and 6.2's

    I am not an expert but you can wash biodiesel at home. I am pretty sure it involves spraying water at the top of the reactor or holding tank. You then wait until the water settles on the bottom. On its way down it washes the biodiesel. you then just open the valve at the bottom and drain the...

    Pinto race car. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. How can I put up a rolling on the floor icon almost dead from laughing. :funny: :cookoo: :driver: rofl All I can think of is the truck load of Germans running into a pinto at like 1 mile an hour and the whole thing exploding in the movie Top Secret.

    More 1009 battery problems

    RE: Re: RE: More 1009 battery problems 455SD, Looking at the schematic reminded me that you need to check to make sure the 28 volt fuse in the fuse panel is not blow and the #2 gen relay under the dash is working. It is what tells the #2 gen to working and it will not work if the 28 volt...

    More 1009 battery problems

    RE: Re: RE: More 1009 battery problems Well I must also say I am sorry because what you say may be correct also. I looked over the schematic for the charging circuit. The isolated ground is connected to the pos side of the front battery by the post on the firewall. The small one near the glow...
