    Fuel leak and priming help question for new M1009 owner

    My 6.5 has ran out of fuel and about 20 seconds of cranking it will light right off. But you can fill up the fuel filter and loosen the injector lines up at the injectors and crank the motor over until fuel comes out tighten the lines back up and start it. Never heard of removing the glow plugs...

    how can I get 24 volts to power a lamp socket?

    My truck has a dash mount socket in it, It also had a work light that was in the truck that looks like pac man on the end of a flashlight with about a 10 ft cord on it. So what you need is out there somewhere. Where did you get your heater I like it

    Crew cab talk

    I've been kinda reading this thread and thinking I give you some advice that I charge most people for and you have called names and argued with about everyone that has replied to your thread. So to offer some more free advice is to loosen up and relax a little with folks most of what they say...

    Tires backwards??

    On farm equipment chevrons forward for driven wheels and backwards for non-driven. Look on the bright side you can backout of the mud better than you went in.

    Crew cab talk

    Its easier than you think to do. I have done a few semi's. first you have to had a level place to work, and some good tall jack stands. I cut the frame at a 45 degree angle on each side at the same place and get a new piece of frame which any steel supplier should have, same size as the old...

    Crew cab talk

    Stretch the frame add a carrier bearing and a section of drive shaft. I would do that before I would cut the bed. I think the frame stretch would be easier for myself

    They won't touch friction bearing trucks anymore will they, not like it was 20 years ago when they would interchange anything that would roll

You can get 250 hp...

    any interest in saving an old earthmover?

    It takes a D8 with a PCU and one behind pushing to make it work right. Sure you could hook it to a smaller dozer if you had the controller to lift the bowel and make the apron work so you could unload it but you would just scratch with it not actually use it to its full potential. The price is...

    Towing a tractor with my XM816

    I bet you thought I meant I was towing a 818, but no its a farm tractor. It retired in the field and needed a bit more work than I wanted to do out in the field so I brought it back to the shop. I had to chain the axles so it wouldn't articulate while in transit and didn't go very fast only...

    turbo on cucv?

    Heads aren't the problem the headgaskets are the weak link, as mentioned about keep boost low and you will be fine. Most military 6.2 I've seen Had the later style heads and the short injectors if that is the case a stock 6.5 turbo, intake and crossover pipe would be better.

    How do low gears lessen engine load?

    Not at all, I have had my share of modified vehicles. But your comparing apples to oranges. In all reality Automotive companies spend million and millions on R&D and a Joe Blow of the street is not going to engineer anything better. Granted a jeep built to suit ones needs is fine with me I have...

    How do low gears lessen engine load?

    I am gald you said it. I have always wanted to but never want to upset the heard. I don't think its smart too turn them up and put big tires in them and go fast. They are what there are and do a good job at it. i use mine for a farm truck it hauls fuel and tools and pumps up tires and pull stuck...

I would Take my old one off and have a muffler shop make me some headpipes to drop down for the duals and start back from there. If you wanted all new If I were doing...
