Diesel injector cleaner might clean it up a bit. I throw some in mine every so often and it seems to clear up the exhaust and gain a little more power. YMMV.

Just a little advice for anyone new to CUCV's or diesels in general: IT IS ALMOST NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO POUR LIQUID INTO THE INTAKE OF A DIESEL The reason's are: 1. Diesels have such high compression ratios (over 20:1 for a 6.2) that a tiny amount of liquid could hydro lock a cylinder (the...

Not to be a downer but.. don't you guys think that the horn suppressor probably serves a purpose? I don't know about the one on the horn, but the diodes across relays burn out switches when you remove them.. :P

I think that the glowplugs are metric thread. But they are quite fine threads. Be sure to have the right tap to chase your glowplug holes with. And cover the tap in grease to collect all the little pieces of metal it knocks out of the threads. I believe that the orange wires are the power supply...

My M1009 just has civilian batteries in the Military battery trays. They are centered and the top plate just holds them in by friction. Those sound like aweful small batteries to me. How many cranking amps do those have? I think my batteries are group 35's and I know they are 1100 Cranking amps.

Which "her" are we talking about here? hahaha Just kidding. Congrats she's beautiful! (both of 'em). I am green with envy. Olive drab green.

I'm on 33X10.5R15 BFG TA/KO's with no lift and stock rims. I got it to rub once, as I bottomed out with the wheel cranked :P zero rubbing during off-roading or street driving. Flying off the highway into a field that was much further below the road level than I originally thought - it rubbed a...

Or a screenshot would help too.

I've done it 4 times :P you get better at it. But agreed, not a nice job.

I am planning on making aluminum battery boxes. And potentially an aluminum floor for the M1009. If I did my floor, I would do it in 1/8" or thicker aluminum with fully boxed steel supports sealed on the ends (to be virtually rust proofed). Thinner aluminum would probably change shape (sag) when...

Yes, the plan with the spoolgun is to make battery boxes and rust-proofed floors. 1/8" or thicker material for both jobs. I would like to get into TIG eventually, but it's just not in the cards moneywise right now. I wish I had the means for a millermatic 250 series machine. However I don't...

Me too.

I appreciate the input on staying away from hobby stuff, but I think these are fairly serious "hobbyist" welders. They're obviously not intended for an assembly line, but not really tinker-toys either. I have seen Miller 211's (fraternal twin of the HH210) in a body shop (although in your...

I love this forum.

I looked at Multiplaz.com and the website seemed rather poorly done and hard to understand. I couldn't find a list of models and specs. Sorry. (Just wanted to put it out there that I did infact look and I do value the input here). I have heard good things about the thermalarc's too.. but as far...

Which inverter welder do you have? I've heard good things about them too.. but portability is not such a big deal to me. I like the "hobbyist" form factor for their price more than anything. And although electronics have come a long way, I still think that there is much less to go wrong with a...

Just to clarify to anyone who reads this in the future and may not know, the Hobart 187 that DeuceNut has is virtually the same as a Hobart 190 (same transformer) except that they aren't made anymore and never had an easy way to add a spoolgun. Thank you guys.

Hey friends, This isn't strictly MV related but you guys always have all the answers and if you help me out I promise I'll use it to work on my CUCV first, haha. I want a Mig welder (with a spoolgun option) for my home shop. I have 240 volt single phase power. I used to use a Lincoln PowerMig...

"Any oil is better than no oil" A wise old man once told me. I would throw 15-40 in my t400 or even an axle, t-case, etc .to get home in a pinch. I would not run it on a regular basis. I could get into the differences in additives, but I think it was put nicely by another member as "if there was...

You will not get it all. But, you can flush the block out with a garden hose. And then account for the 1-2L that stay in the block when you mix up coolant.
