Where did you find your temp sensor switch? I haven't had much luck.

I've always wondered... Is the fuel shutoff solenoid normally open when running, or normally closed?

Very good info, thx! I've been switching over around 130F. I may have to rethink that. Do you block part of your raidator off in the WI winters? When I'm on the interstate, my fuel temp drops to 160F w/ two 30 plate FPHE's.

Have you snapped your injection pump shaft? Have you had any WVO related breakdowns?

When you speak of GP relay chatter, is it only while the GP's are heating as they should? Or is it still chattering when you're 30 miles down the road, like mine does???

Good thread!

I'd say go for the dark colors. Gasoline would definately evaporate quicker, but it sounds like you'll be running WMO. Anything that evaporates from WMO / WVO is probably a good thing. :) The darker color (& warmer fuel) will also help gravity settle out the suspensed particles. Just my $0.02

Wish I had this a few hours ago. I tried about 8 different belts before I got a good fit on Gen1.

If you can weld, the mounting options are limitless. I put a 17,500lb winch on the front of my M1009. I want to be able to sink it to the axles & not even question whether it will pull itself out. The 7/16" cable does take some effort though.

Good question! They're definately a bit longer. I'll have to go home & try one out.

A good filter that will fit the spin on filter setup from Wal-Mart is the WIX 33225. I can get it here at my local O'Reilly's.

I made a winch bumper out of 3"x3"x.25" angle for my M1009 & I'm liking it. I overbuilt a bit & used 3/8" plate for the winch mounting plate. I cut the brackets off the stock brush guard & modified it to fit my new bumper. It still looks military (sort of) & provides better protection. I...

I started mixing filtered SVO in my second tank yesterday on my M1009. I'm currently running a 50/50 SVO/diesel mix & there's no noticeable difference. My temperatures aren't where I want them though. The main concern is when I'm cruising @ 65mph, the oil temp drops down to 162F. I'd...

If I'm not mistaken, that is the glowplug resistor pack.

Great looking truck! Hella nice setup!

I thought I had a leaky radiator too! I was very glad to see it was just the weak, old plastic overflow bottle!

Don't suppose you have a hydraulic press by chance? I'd estimate it took about 2 tons of force to break the pintle hook free. Years worth of dried up, caked up, contaminated grease locked it pretty tight.

Nice truck! Forgive my being green, but what's the other truck in the first pic?

I'm thinking of bidding on a M116A2 trailer & a few spare 6.2L engines. So, I was hoping someone could tell me how many 6.2L's in containers would reasonably fit on a M116A2? Thanks, John O>.
