Gotta say I like the working truck look. Anything else stands out like a fish in a tree... except in a museum or parade.

Ken, the sheet I got tells about the paint including the pressures for different spray rigs and the curing times. By upping the temperature it can be made to cure faster but as a one-part CARC it takes it's curing trigger from the moisture in the air. No hardeners that I know of will make it go...

Sounds like the low beam is hunting for a ground and is putting power through the indicator light to do this. The filiment in the indicator might be acting like a resister too and that's why low beam is dim. Halogens should put out plenty of light on both high and low.

Hello and Merry Christmas to all. The baby HEMTT project has slowed down due to my Guard outfit getting activated; combined with a deep-seated fear of running power tools in the rain. Am still making small parts like frame-side mounts for the t-case and side marker-light brackets so I can run...

You're right Westech. I keep forgetting we have the facilities to force-cure this stuff.

Depending on the weld-time and tension setting on the spotwelder and how the the weld was done; there is usually a round depression about the diameter of a pencil eraser and about .010 to .015 deep where the tips of the spotwelder pressed into the so-hot-it-was-soft sheetmetal. the rest of the...

Ken, Did you get a data sheet with the CARC? If you're paint job is fresh it'll be a little tender as it takes several days to a week to harden thoroughly, depending on conditions.

Generators usually have a large cannon plug that the cable to the regulator plugs into. Alternators are self-regulated and a fairly common feature is a ring of big slots about 3/5 of the way back, sometimes with a cooling fan (like usually found behind the belt pulley) inside for air...

Hey Mike, Not sure where you are on the learning curve but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_log is a place to start reading for the bare-bones stuff.

Wonder if it could be from some links? The one that was so controversal might have had a few hidden packets of code for anyone clicking on it or could have had spyware tag(s) too.

For all the color, shade and tint questions we ever had; lurking out there is this thing called a Fed Std 595b Fan Deck. It has all the Federal Standard colors from gloss through matte and their 5 digit codes. 50+ pages counting the index with 10 colors per page. They're kinda pricey at $75.00...

Closed at $103.51?!? Man, I don't do this good with a mask and a gun.

Only good thing about the ebay rigs... at least they can't breed.

What do you need? All -10s have Equipment Description and Data and Capacities sections and the Transportability Guides have dimensions and weights with COGs marked out.

Listed under "Cargo Carriers"; here's an M 37 for you guys to check out. Ebay item # 4595129767

I don't remember what size exactly but there are block heaters that replace a freeze plug; like in the side of a Cummins 5.9. That would be your quickest solution. Got mine from NAPA.

Legal disclaimer(s) as req. by law: "Free advice is worth what you pay for it" and, opinions are like noses; everybody has one". That said, If you're chaining the two trucks together to see who can slide who, another trick is to chain close, and high to yours -- low to the other truck. That way...

We just got a vehicle in for maintenance that I'm not familiar with. Anybody ever seen a mil. spec. GM 1 ton duelly? Full camo and mil spec everything. Sorry, I know it's not a CUCV but this is the closest column I could figure to post this question in.

Mine has a plug in the top of the thermostat housing. If yours does too, break it loose a couple of turns and you should get coolant past the threads when all the air is gone.

Need some help here. The baby HEMTT has an alarm for engine stop (no power) and I think it should wire up like a charge light; i.e. Engine stops, no charge, light comes on (on baby HEMTT alarm bell rings). Trouble is, with everything gone to gauges, I can't find a wiring diagram that shows a...
