    Will Slave Cable Start a CUCV Without Batteries?

    Either do it right or not at all. Rushing and shortcuts usually end up costing more $$

    1009 block heater

    I have installed the zerostart block heaters in all my MV's Excellent quality The 5 tons were a much easier install for sure. My 06 duramax has factory one and still going strong Quite a number of old threads that cover the install in great detail.

    Surplus Fluke 27/FM Multimeters

    Agree Your Fluke is just fine. I did not have a meter at all and needed one. This thread was more for the folks who had a Harbor Freight, cheapo meter and wanted to upgrade to a high quality meter.

    diesel fuel additive

    Just a gallon or two in a full tank will not hurt We would add some gas to our helos during Arctic operations and it did just fine Would only raise the EGT 2-3 degrees, if that. Running with the anti-ice system on raised it more than that apples to oranges but you get the idea It...
