    2019 TX MV Rally

    Awesome Carnac. I guess whoever is first with stuff to sell needs to start a Rally for sale or barter thread. It will be another week before I can look at my stuff and see if I want to part with anything.

    2019 TX MV Rally

    OK. Just checking since some people don't understand how far apart some things are around here. We had a guy years ago on this forum from your part of the country that was flying to San Antonio for business. He started posting about how he was going to come see me, a member in Temple, another...

    Any and all odd ball or "normal" military vehicles are welcome. Plus cool non military vehicles too. Now, at the museum Saturday it needs to be just military vehicles.

    Keith can be allowed in to the open for all Rally. He has a CUCV shop truck and knows how to use it.

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    That is my plan while the fuel is cheap and the weather is no ac friendly. Thanks again for all the help everyone.

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    What can I write besides we are all a bit on the special side. Colton and I spent the afternoon after church putting all the wire clamps on. I don’t have a good set of batteries so I’m not going to do any extended long drives until I do. So hat will have to wait. One odd thing we both...

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    Chris, the IP TM says those safety wired screws are supposed to be 18 inch pounds. That had it binding last week so I just backed them off to where it was moving free then wired them in place. Same yesterday except I didn’t even try torquing. I just went by feel. Kind of like setting wheel...

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    I took the cover off and had only oil in there. That for sure was where I was getting the fuel from before the O-Ring swap. Then I pulled the the clip off the control rod and removed the plunger after clipping the safety wire off again. Every thing looked correct. Just because I put a screw...

    has anyone taken injectors apart on this forum?

    I took mine apart 8 years ago to try and refresh them. A pop tester is really needed after you take them apart to verify they are good. Buying new Bosch injectors is almost cheaper and easier in the long run.

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    Let me go over what we did. I have a spare IP of unknown condition. I also handed Gimpy tools 5 years ago as he did a HH replacement on Rich’s truck in my driveway. That was my training besides reading about it. So, I lined up the red tooth on the spare IP and removed the HH to practice. It...

    Timing as in we put the HH back on a tooth off?

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    Yes, lines are on the correct way. I double checked that thinking the same thing. Cracked the lines open at the injectors with it running today. I didn’t think it needed to be done. But did it anyway. Each line cracked caused a drop in rpm. All starts the first day required a shot of ether...

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    I have been blazing through some repairs to the Whistler the last 3-1/2 years. It started making oil in May of 2015. It sat for a while, the wiring rotted off so I couldn’t get power to the intank pump to check the boost pump seal. Then we had a hurricane. Life got in the way and such. It now...

    Where can I steal oil flow and pressure from on a 6.2 block?

    Thanks for the info Ken. The newest 6.2 I have is a 1988 and the oldest 6.5 is a 1993. Nice to learn something new.

    Cucv tire carrier

    There have been a good number of people posting like you have about how they want to try this. Then someone will post about how the side metal of the truck was not designed to support a swing out tire carrier like the Bronco's had. There are pictures out there of the passenger rear of a...

    Where can I steal oil flow and pressure from on a 6.2 block?

    The picture in post 5 showing how to put a T on the oil psi sender unit. Also shows another pressure supply port. The upper most of the holes above the oil filter has a plug in it on your block. A square 1/4" tool is needed to remove it. A 1/4" socket extension might almost get it out but...
