The bad spot on the flex-plate could definitely be the problem. But I would suspect it would be grinding and attempting to engage. Are you sure it was not just stuck out there all the time and you turning the flywheel allowed it to retract. I think that would be the case. if it was just bad...

Running poorly and lacking power makes you work the engine harder. Change the fuel filter and see if that helps. I had a truck that did the same thing with the temp light flickering. I changed the fan clutch and the problem went away. They have a huge radiator and cooling system and it is almost...

Not sure. Are you tapping into the 12 volt power point on the left side of the firewall to the right of the brake booster. 2 studs. A 10/24 thread and a 1/4" x 20 threaded stud. Tap the 1/4". Not the stock way but I see it done. Should be 12 volt. That is where the entire 12 volt part of the...

You have the resistors bypassed and are getting 24 volts?

The engine should be grounded from the bottom of the negative buss bar to the intake manifold bolts on the right rear of the engine. The bus bar is on the right firewall behind the battery. You should have a 1/0 cable ground and a small braided cooper ground that is anchored to the firewall. I...

I used Mr Rusty's bed to burn an entire 6 bedroom house I tore down. Then when done sold the scrap. Don't know how bad your bed is but the trailer bed is still looking great on the Mr Rusty unit. I think it may have been an M101 trailer I bought at a scrap sale.

Well after 2 years of plowing and working Mr Rusty is back for a check up and refresher top to bottom. Just a going over and doing any needed maintenance. He has an oil leak not sure but the oil pan may be rusted thru. No worries. I will be gone most of the weekend. So progress will come to a...

Yes it is. Thank you. I used the search above. No luck. Thank you.

I can not find the Mr Rusty thread. Any help?

We will be having another off road event at Rausch Creek on Saturday October 21, 2017. This is just a group of people that enjoy off roading. It is NOT sponsored or connected with Steel Soldiers site in any way. (other then posting here) If you want to come fine. We will see you there. Run what...

Most CUCV's live in Murphy's world. Once you Masters Murphy's law you and the CUCV become one. [hide] Murphy's law Murphy's law is a popular adage that states that "things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance," or more commonly...

As mentioned. Voltage may be there and up to snuff. The amps are more important then the voltage to crank the starter. I think you have starter issues. Bad solenoid or bad connection at solenoid. But I am not there. This is hard to diagnose from the internet. I would start by load testing the...

Let me get some specific numbers and I will PM them to you. That way I will avoid the bigger better best controversy that surrounds this site with every product your procure and use. Sort of my only secret recipe so it don't need to be scrutinized. I know it works and I keep doing it the same...

I still firmly believe that the above statement I made 2 years ago is accurate and valid. And by keeping batteries charged fully. I mean when they get bad I change them both. I just looked and my Crown of Thorns M1009 still has January 2010 batteries in it and starts fine all stock.This one. I...

The paint and sealer on the edges is the same paint and sealer on the entire truck. PPG paint and sealer.

Deposition Do we need to do a deposition on what you thought I said and what I do/did? Yes I have a cube relay in Terminus M1009. Yes. I have had it there. Yes.I have a spare in the glove box also. Your point? NO. I never cut the harness. Stop dogging me and trying to berate me. I did suggest...

Most of the parts are original parts that I wiped off and reinstalled after painting and assembling the truck. I never detailed anything yet. And a few of my fasteners are non standard. And when I drive by at 60 mph you will never notice that I promise. I will not get any awards for my work and...

Unwrapped the M1008 A few tips for beginners. many times i see vehicles and they look all nice on the outer surface. When I open the hood and the doors the jambs are all ugly and over sprayed. My barn jobs are NOT perfect by a long shot. But I spend a lot of time covering everything that I...

The gate is all finished and ready for primer. Multi tasking and getting a lot done slowly on several projects. Thanks for looking. This gate will be very nice when completed. The Kids think I used Gold to weld the cracks. Have a great day. Stay cool.

Poor connections, Loose connections, Corroded connections. And just because it has a modified starter relay does not make it infallible. A relay is a rely. It is a control switch to transfer power. Electrical is my weakest part. I still know enough to get by. I would say double check everything...
