So are you up on all the new little screaming Honda's running 0W20 oils ? Our new little CRV runs that oil and I'm wondering what the bearing clearances are like. How long have you been with the dealerships ? I could only handle it for one year then left. I found a good shop to park my tool box...

Man, when you grenade a transfer-case you don't fool around !

I found out my truck was proudly made in Flint Michigan.

Are you talking about my old CUCV or the new truck ? Both are 4x4 diesels or where. I sold the engine out of my CUCV. Got $500.00 for it. Put a Chevy 383 Hi-torque in it's place. My new truck has the 6.6 DuraMax with a Six speed Allison transmission. The transfer-case is shifted on the dash...

I did until my knees went. Then I had to use my back more.

I'm right at 3/4" over width. Considering how little this see's the road I won't worry about it.

Grizzly makes a good product. Though any "Locker" style differential can be hard on components. Do you drive this truck on the road a lot ? Or is it a "off-road" fun toy ? If so then go ahead and get the locker for the rear and put the ARB up front. Whatever you do, do not install a welded...

Actually the "Yarn" type filter is an excellent fuel filter ! Much better then the "pleated" style. More surface area and stronger. They cost more to make too, that is why they where replaced with the pleated style. Just a side note. You cannot beat "Gimpyrobb's" prices on the filters. Really.

What oils have you found that use the CF-2 standard ? The only diesel rated oils I've found out here are Delo and Rotella.

I'm just asking so don't get your panties in a bunch, but you say "in your experience" . Are you a mechanic ? It's always good to find another mechanic here.

If I remember correctly, my CUCV was a M1028 . The data plate was removed years ago during my conversion. I had most of the parts stored in my container, but last year we had to move it so I sent over 7 tons of metal to the recycle plant. Almost all the spare parts from the CUCV went. I did keep...

I've been busy all day today so I never got the chance to check out where it was made. I'll write myself a note tonight and check tomorrow.

I forgot to mention about that picture of my 1984 CUCV. I bought that from the government back in 1992. Paid $5000.00 for a truck with just 24,000 original miles on it. I then spent the next ten years converting it to a civilian truck. At the time I just wanted a nice 1 ton dually which I...

Looking good !

Now those look really nice ! Was it a hard conversion ? At this time I'm spending most of my free time trying to get the deuce ready for my great expedition up north. Now with the new truck there is no urgency to fix up the old 1984 anymore. I'm still keeping it. My son says he has first "dibs"...

She got jealous !

Great article ! This guy is saying what I've been saying for years now. Older engines need ZDDP additives because of government intervention due to vehicle emissions. Period. Since no oil company makes the proper oil for our military vehicle anymore you must add a good ZDDP additive. Those who...

Hey Frank, is that a "shaper" on the back of your deuce ? I've wanted one for years now. The things you can build with a shaper is just crazy !

I should have looked for seats for it years ago I guess. I just never got around to making a serious search of it. Also I never saw any that would just drop in. I didn't want to have to try and "adapt" some crazy "Mustang" or other weird seats that fit the angle and all that. Just give me a...

Sorry. I should have posted it yesterday. Here you go.
