    Drivers side rear wheel stuck!

    Rear brakes on these trucks are "self energizing" meaning they apply a lot more force going forward than in reverse.A streched or bound parking brake cable can account for your trouble.

    CUCV M1009 Radiator cover - Available and where?

    Us "po folk" use cardboard .Just be sure any cutouts for air flow are centered in front of the fan. Having one side of the fan blades catching air and not the other is a good way to turn it into projectiles.

    Making the most of a stock 6.2

    The secret of 2wd in a hmmwv 242 is not the lack of a shift fork . Both needed forks are there. A "shift cam" change is required. I have several new GL units available. modified or not.

    95 and earlier chevy nv 4500s have an external slave cylinder and different bellhousing bolt pattern than later units which have a hydraulic throwout bearing setup. 96 up units can be adapted to cummins by changing the input shaft and front bearing retainer.

    Scavenging Fuel - Can a Deuce Do It?

    The ol' 1008 burns real fuel ,veggie ,transformeroil, (no pcbs) alittle wmo & gas or a combo of any of the above. Some mixtures produce more power than others but the 6.2 doesen't seem to mind much. at 100K+ longevety does not seem to be compromised too much. Had more than that on my older truck...

    Scavenging Fuel - Can a Deuce Do It?

    Like I told the DEP inspector when he asked why I have so much WVO and such laying around ? Most of my friends have arsenals, me not so much. When SHTF I'll trade energy for ammo. (don't think he saw the humor)
