    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Are you sure you used the right leads on the right contacts? The only way to get - voltage, if you're doing it properly, is to have the BLOCK +, and the leads grounded... Highly unlikely.

    I wouldn't do any less than 4ga, and that's pushing it, IMO. You're pulling 100A plus from those GPs, they're 200W ea, which means 1600w for 8, thats 133A @ 12V...

    Make sure you upgrade the wiring going to the solenoid. The factory 10ga or whatever that goes to the stud for the 12V systems is NOT sufficient to handle the added loads of the GPs. My M1009 went on a road trip into the mountains...

    Diesel additives

    I would normally agree.. BUT... These items have been shown to reduce wear and increase lubricity, or, in some cases, INCREASE wear. TWC3 is an oil that is NOT marketed as a diesel additive, but it works surprisingly well as such. Everything is made to a certain specification, that is to say...

    HUGE +1 like $12.. supposed to be 1 oz per gallon, roughly... I ran out, and I can tell the difference between the 2, with and without.... night and day...

No water, looked good, smelled good.. then I dumped another 6 or 7 gallons in to fill it up, then added some misc additives.....cranked it over.. it wanted to...

    SignalMaster mounted on top. Combination of tint and blocked view made me mount it there... Relocated Aux brake/turn as well.. no pic yet Added 2 LED lights to the rear, brighter than my headlights, and $50 a pair... holy crap.. Side by side comparison. Off and on. No flash, same exposure...

    M1009 see through window decals

    Similar to these.... NOT in design, but in intent.. Ie, same pattern on the truck and windows...

    M1009 see through window decals

    I'm thinking of custom making either OD, or NATO camo see through window decals, like used on the back of truck windows, for the rear and side windows... It'd basically continue the NATO camo (or solid OD) to make it look like one piece, Ie you won't really see the windows... Thoughts?

    I tied it to a Toyota that had blown apart its thermostat housing... Towed it off the highway into a parking lot.. Turns out, the guy was going to rehab... He'd been sober 2 days and a friend from church was supposed to be meeting him there, she picked him up from the parking lot instead... He...

    ATF red dye?

    This makes it a contract. Just like any consenting search, consent can be withdrawn or limited at any time. At that point, it's a civil matter, not a legal matter. [/COLOR] ...And this is where I disagree....our country was founded on the principles of freedom, not government control... I'm...

    ATF red dye?

    I'm not sure which side you're coming from. I will iterate a few things though.. 1. Dumping ATF into your tank is not against the law, it's an additive, not a fuel, in the quantities generally used. 2. Even IF it were 'against the law', an unconstitutional law is no law at all. 3. Similarly, a...

    ATF red dye?

    .........Which would constitute a search. A search without consent is per se unreasonable with few exceptions. 1. Warrant 2. Exigent Circumstances. Exigent circumstances do not exist, leaving #1, warrant. Warrants require PC, there must be a reason to believe that there is a crime occurring...
