    Tiny Tach installed

    I mounted it slightly angled upwards. IMO it's in a good spot. I can see it just fine when I glance down to see my speed. I used a couple of layers of the adhesive tape on the bottom to adjust the viewing angle and only one piece of tape on the top of it to give it that upward angle. :grd:

    Tiny Tach installed

    Finally got around to installing the Tiny Tach in my 1028 today. It's a pretty neat Doo-hickey. I took it on the highway and am turning 2200 RPMs at 55mph (gps verified) and 2450 at 70mph (gps verified). Install time took about 30 min. I used 3M double sided sticky tape to mount the display...

    Long Haul from GA to CO

    WM this will be my 4th DITY move in 6 years. I'm SICK of doing full DITYs. Plus, the mileage rate went DOWN so the financial incentive isn't really there for me. This is the first time I'm letting the gov't move (and break) my stuff. I just have to figure out how I'm going to get a 3rd...

    Long Haul from GA to CO

    I appreciate the offer-I will keep it in mind! Although...I hear through the CAMO grapevine that you have a special place in your heart for CUCVs:x I think I have a pin hole leak SOMEWHERE on the bottom my radiator. I am pressure testing it tomorrow and hopefully will find it. I drove it 420...

    Long Haul from GA to CO

    Well the Army is moving me in June. I mentioned towing it with my Tahoe, BUT I dont want to tow cross country at my max GVWR. Plus, towing that much would be just stupid considering the trailer and truck would be about 2800lbs heavier than the tow vehicle. I have 3 vehicles and 1 wife. Im...

    Long Haul from GA to CO

    That'd be a long, expensive drive! Especially at 15mpg!

    Long Haul from GA to CO

    I'm looking to avoid towing my 1028 across the country on a car hauler, as it would stress my tahoe out and put it at its' max GVWR. I want to move the 1028 anytime between now and the 1st of June from Columbus, GA to Colorado Springs, CO. Any takers?

    6.2 fuel pump...?

    On my old 1009 (now Papabears 1009), I installed it next to the frame rail right next to the motor and wired it to the ignition circuit so it would only run when the key was turned to the on position. I used a cheapo electric pump from advance and it hasnt failed me yet in over 14 months. Buy...

    Newbie doing his research has questions

    here's a pretty cool thread that I found useful. Pretty simple and easy to make your own filtration system. You can add or take away as many in line filters that you want. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/alternative-fuels/69123-finished-wmo-filter-2nd-video.html

    M1028?

    I haven't pulled the diff cover up front yet, but the rebuilt 205 I have in there pretty much is the icing on the cake. I didn't think much of it until CARNAC came back with it as a 1008...?

    M1028?

    matt, CARNAC's info on my truck said it was an M1008 so that is what peaked my curiosity.... I'm pretty sure I have a 1028, and NOT a 1008aua
