How about some front 3/4 photos from a bit further out. It looks good, but I want to see the overall picture!

This is a little old, but I've used it on old VWs. On my VWs, it makes the floor pans that typically sound like big metal plates (like you would expect) sound like they're made of wood! I've been told CUCVs are noisy, but it's all relative. It's luxury car quiet compared to a VW with a loudish...

The phrase you're looking for when you say "engaging the drivetrain" is that the noise occurs "under load".

What is the frequency of the clatter? Is it tied to RPM? Is the frequency once per fire, once every other fire, once every revolution, etc.? My first go-to with things described as valve clatter is to check out the valves. Over the years I've had everything from valves that needed adjusting...

WVO is not only not biodiesel, it's bad for your engine. It's like actively trying to destroy your exhaust system. It WILL technically burn, and WILL technically move the vehicle down the road, but that glycerine molecule on the backs of the triglycerides will not burn and just carbonizes and...

Any additional power made will be psychosomatic. Biodiesel has a slightly lower energy content than conventional diesel. Dollars can certainly be saved, especially I you're making your own (which isn't 100% legal on public roads for the record). I definitely get the attraction to making your own...

Again, it's been several years, and I didn't work with conventional feedstocks... I'm probably wrong.

It's been several years, and we didn't use soybean oil at all in the refinery. I want to say CFPP for neat biodiesel from soybean oil was somewhere (mid-upper?) 40°s, but that's a borderline WAG. I'm sure you can find it. Soybean oil was, and may still be, a common feedstock and I'm sure the...

The CFPP is feedstock dependent. Longer chain fatty acids result in a higher CFPP. It should come pre-blended for the season from the distributor though. If you're making it yourself (note, WVO is NOT biodiesel), you'll have to figure it out yourself... Sorry I can't be of more help there.

Credentials: I used to be in charge of an experimental biodiesel feedstock program for the largest biodiesel refinery in the US... I'm new to the forum and haven't yet purchased a CUCV, so I figured I should probably open with that. Biodiesel will run just like dino diesel unless you are...

Mponseigo, do you have photos of this '86 purely for entertainment purposes? I'm kind of curious about the winch mounting and other accessories you mentioned.

PM sent.

That would actually probably be a good place to start! I just moved down here from the mountains last week, so I haven't fully got the lay of the land. I went to the site referenced in the video and called the contact number listed. No answer and "the voicemail box of the number you are trying...

I'm not in the market just yet, I'm still trying to get my bearings. It seems there are a number brokers out there who get them at auction, fix them up so they run, then sell them. I could certainly be wrong, but it seems to me this is what they're doing. I'm hoping to find something like this...

You found yours there or you have one for sale there? I called the 100dollar man (or something like that) today, and he doesn't have any and hasn't for a while. There's a guy down in Waxahachie whose website claims to have a few, but no details. I set up an account on GL last night, and one...

I'm hoping to be in the market for an M1009 soon, and I'm trying to figure out the best place to get a hold of one. GL seems like it would be a real challenge to get it to where I can make it run. I've seen a few resellers but none that stand out as especially good places to start, and I'm sure...
