I completed my 4L80E install quite a while ago. It made the truck. I brought my RPM's down from 3K to 2 to 2100 at 60-65. I run tires just a shade shy of 33 inch. I put a mandrel bent 2.5 dual rear exit exhaust with free flowing Diesel Donaldson mufflers on. I need at least a full mile to pass...

I put a warn 12K winch and mount on a neighbors Dodge today. Before I installed it I parked the winch carrier in front of my CUCV for a look. It fit great. It has enough spread to weld on two square tube sleeves for the shackle mounts with some minor metal work. Then can be tied in to the...

I see others have had this same problem. I did not see my answer though. I had a cracked TH400 case about 6 inches forward of the tail end of the trans case tail end. Mine cracked all the way around and was dumping ATF all over. I run a NP205 transfer case now with a fixed yoke after the weld...

This post is for anyone considering an Isspro Tach install on their CUCV. I looked at the alternator based Tachometers , Crankshaft based Tach’s and the Tiny Tach as options. Alternator based tach’s are affected by belt slippage and to that translates to inaccuracy. Belts stretch faster than...

Well I am finally stumped. I have owned my M1008 for 1 year next month and every single problem or modification has been answered from the good folks here whom have done this stuff already. There is a good chance my question is nothing, but I would like to make sure. I noticed my 6.2 had a...

Saturday is truck day at the race track in Woodburn Oregon. Last time I made 6 passes down the quarter mile. Josh says he wants to race. Should I take the cargo cover off? :mrgreen: Woodburn Dragstrip

Hey, How about another insurance thread!??:twisted: It seems there are so many questions on this. And even more different answers. Coming from the very same company even. For the most solid answer you can depend on, make the appointment to show them just what they are insuring. I met my...

Greetings PNW group, I got a call from the Aloha legion hall for a parade in Beaverton Or on the 4th. They have a few vehicle openings. Up to three. It would entail showing up at the hall at 7AM in Aloha by the Intel plant, traveling to the staging area, decorating the rig, and doing...

Edit, Please see page 5 for researched part numbers for bases and filters to get you started if spin on's are for you.. Edit: these are for a spin on filter set up. After borrowing some books from the local NAPA I found this info. Please post your part numbers if you make something and post...

Greetings all, I have been called for two separate parades by the local American Legion hall up in town. The first one is the biggest parade in Oregon. There are 2 (possibly 3) vehicle slots open. It is the 4th of July parade through Hillsboro Oregon. Ten's of thousands of people, lots of...

I recently rebuilt a M416 in 319 Gillespie paint for a gentleman that wanted to tow it behind his GPW. His wiring is vinyl and not cloth so it looks like someone has replaced it. His trailer plug is hooked up and goes into the harness near a rear tank. The jeep looks original and is mostly...

I looked for a place to make a good comment on a business and this seemed like the best spot. I hope this does not conflict with any forum rules. Nor would I want this to be a place to make any type of negative comment regarding any businesses. This is all about the good places to shop. I...

I just had a panic stop go awry. I was pulling into a fuel station to get some diesel to haul a load to my new place. A guy darts in front of me early on in my approach and me really not seeing him hit the brakes hard to stop in time. Since there was a now a pick up in my path where there was...

Saturday was truck only day at Woodburn dragstrip 1.5 hours south of me. I have attended for several years and last year I said I wanted to bring the duece to generate a laugh. It does not get much slower. I was able to get 6 passes down track. Very consistant numbers which enabled me to win...

I had a blown head gasket. Removal showed my rear head on my 69 kaiser M35 had cracks in all cylinders. I found two new style heads (they have a valley between the valves verses flat) and found they had a problem. The first one was mouse related. Lots of pee and corrosion in several intake ports...

I read up last night on the choices for lockouts. While the Overson's are nice I elected to go with the Selectro's for profile reasons. I can see in my terrain here where there is a big potential for dragging hubs in deep ruts. We can't drive in much water here for fish reasons so the water...

I got a call from the Aloha legion hall today. The pres was wondering if I wanted to be in the really big parade through Beaverton again this year. Absolutely I replied. I asked if I could invite a few friends. Yes was the answer. This is the big one with tens of thousands of spectators. Feel...

Well it's been 7 months down now due to a clutch, interior strip and repaint. I drove it 2 miles and discovered I had a blown head gasket. I have a new style set waiting to go. I bought a harbor freight pick up crane and modified it a little. I made a taller mast at 3 feet. I also installed a...

I have been searching but can't find the answer. I have a friend who is converting a duece dash into a custom CJ-6 he is building. He is missing some of the 1/4 turn dash panel clips. I just pulled my truck apart to paint the interior and found I need one too. Is there a source for these. I...

I have been reading using the search feature and I still have some questions regarding my multifuel rear main replacement. I lost a new clutch at around 3-4K. I found the CR number for the fluoromaster upgraded seal. I ordered it through napa and they brought in a Timken 39801 This seal comes...
