Yes, I guess that makes sense if its a flow through electric pump. I have other theft deterrents in places, so that isn't the primary goal by any means though. Thank you

I know many may claim hogwash, but I've legitimately been through two factory correct mechanical lift pumps from a reputable HMMWV parts supplier in 2 years. An acquaintance who owns ALOT of heavy diesel equipment says he suspects the ultra low sulfur diesel is degrading the diaphragm in the...

Can’t seem to find anything in the Texas area at any price. Have also been looking for a 1009 to add to our collection for over a year. Not finding anything other than rotted basket cases.

I’ve seen where some of you have installed fuel pressure gauges on the top port of the filter housing, and have figured out how to do that, but I’ve also seen photos of some secondary oil pressure gauges installed right behind the drivers side valve cover. Has anyone here done that, and can...

I called and emailed Trailworthy for 3 months and never got a response. Unfortunately I think they must be kaput.

Yep, I have heard and noticed the same. Everyone told me to run from Wolfer as far as I could when I first started my truck.

Other than Hummer Parts Guy, are there any other reputable sources for new voltage regulators for a 200amp truck?

@911joeblow Any updates on your supercharger kits you thought would be available last month?

What are the best years and models of deuce based water trucks out there? Looking to rig up our own private brush truck of sorts to use in case of fire on a large ranch. Any good sources for quality trucks you guys recommend? Thanks

I’ve heard it takes 30-90 days to cure so I was worried about top coating it too soon and having adhesion issues or alligatoring.

Mine didn’t come with two nozzles, and I’ve read the same about the change in their can supplier recently. Tried everything in every forum/post I could find and each can dribbled and sputtered when 1/2 used, no matter what I tried. Now I’m worried I can’t top coat it with anything else for a...

Tried using Rapco but their dribbling cans made me absolutely crazy… anyone know how long I would need to let it cure before I scuff it and cover it with Behr or similar acrylic latex?

So it’s just plain old tar? If that’s the case, I assume WD-40, mineral spirits or kerosene would do the trick.

Thanks for the recommendation. I tried some acetone to get it off my tools and it still took alot of rubbing with a rag to get it off. It's certainly some nasty stuff and there's hardly any room to get your hands or tools up there.

After removing the ring terminals for the radio tray power cable from the positive and ground stud terminals between the frame and the tunnel, I don't think I'm getting a good connection anymore. Both were covered in a thick black material that had skinned over like silicone on the outside, but...
