reblawyer, Direct all your questions to Cranetruck (Bjorn) as he is our resident WVO guru. A search using 'biodiesel' in the search line will net you several threads, almost all of them by Cranetruck. He's DA MAN when it comes to running a multi on straight WVO. His set up is quite complex...

Matt, That's because you ain't approaching the problem in the right way. It goes like this: "No honey, I THINK YOU NEED THE NEW CAR IN THE FAMILY!" After you pick your better half up off the floor, help her choose her new car. Then let her figure out how to pay for it. And then help any way...

Ken, Yes I did. Go back to page three about halfway or two thirds way down the page I posted pix. I can't remember exact price off top of my head, but it was around $40. And it's a one time purchase. I still have the Napa Gold filter and if I EVER get a magnahelic gauge, I PROMISE to write...

Leonard, I hate to admit it, but Randy told me make and pn and dummy me didn't write it down. I didn't hear anything past $68 and a can of black paint. And like I said, I'm one of those 'empirical' type of guys. Which is why I GOTTA buy a decibel meter so I can show exactly what happens...

From the CUCV forum section: vbr, Gotta get that decibel meter first. And for EVERYONE HERE, RandyLBarnes installed a really nice muffler on his deuce. NOW all you hear is the engine and the whine of his 'C' turbo. Yeah, yeah, I know I forgot to take pix. I was so impressed with the lack...

Bjorn, I've been LOOKING FOR 7/8 inch OD pipe. WHERE did you get yours from? This is the EXACT OD needed for the oil filter conversion. It's 7/8 16 (tpi) and I have already found the place to get the die to cut the threads from and it's about $30. So, any help you can give with the 7/8 inch...

Looks like an IED to me. Hope the occupants survived what ever happened.

OK, I had a NICE long talk with Courtney today about the upcoming auction. She agreed it was NOT going to happen any time in June. Late July or possibly August. She also said that the MV's were listed as scrap. So don't expect most vehicles to be in great shape. They will also be having a...

G, Find out how much for an M35 bumper. I was going to have DR bring me back one from Howard's but if you can get me one there, I'll send you money. Or however you want to handle it. I still owe Rdixiemiller fuel money for picking up my 6.2L engine. And I gotta go get it sometime. So, let...

Cummins, RandyLBarnes has a parts truck that he has yet used the lower part of the cab. BUT we live in Denver, Colorado so getting it to you could be expensive. And ya gotta ask Randy. But hey, make him an offer he can't refuse and ya never know. jim

OK, I need to update this info. I spoke with a really nice young lady who took my contact information and guaranteed me that the Lufkin Forest Service department was NOT holding an auction until late July or early August. I will be calling them back tomorrow and will attempt to speak with the...

Armada, I've had a rubber floor w/double jute padding in my Suburban for more than four years. We live in Denver, where it snows. You just need to be vigilant, but it's not that big a deal to keep the jute dry. Unless you are planning to do severe creek fording. I was going to add Fatmat to...

Kev, That's ONE SWEET lookin trailer. Let us know about your business. Will it be US surplus ONLY or will you 'branch out' to other countries military stuff? I would love to have a couple of sets of german flectern uniforms. jim

SRS, 80k miles for a diesel is pretty much a walk in the park. Having said that, I have seen ones that had 100k on them and were in excellent shape. I've seen ones with 20k that were basically salvage. So the over all maintenance and daily treatment of any vehicle is the key. Did it see...

SuperchargerRS, First, WELCOME to Steel Soldiers and our Big Green Iron family. Second, one of the few requirements is to list where you are, so that others near you can render assistance when you ask for it. Third, I live in Denver, Colorado and have been looking for an M1009 for a few months...

derby, You have brought up a point that I feel needs to be expanded upon. That you didn't 'go the extra' (mile, dollar, whatever) to get the truck that was 'perfect' for you. So folks, if it's THE ITEM you want, and I'm NOT talking about JUST MV's here, when is TOO MUCH just that. Too much...

AND if you feel you might use them again, a six pack of their favorite AFTER work brew is JUST the ticket. No one appreciates the guys in the service bay any more. I ALWAYS tip my service guy this way. And he's always on the look out for problems on my truck that someone else might miss. jim...

Nick, Welcome to our Green Iron family!! jim

suzukovich, Welcome to our Green Iron family!! I've got a buddy of mine currently stationed at the Military base in Stuttgart right now. He's a contract armorer for which ever specfor group is stationed there. I just wish I could get him to come back to the states. He's a good friend and...
