    Glow Plug Tech Article

    I probably would have stayed with the military system had it ever worked for me but I didn't have the time to try and track down replacement parts, trouble shoot not really knowing if it was a fix. this just seemed to be a better alternative since I've dealt with the civy system before. I...

    Glow Plug Tech Article

    mangus580, the part # for the replacement harness is in there that should be the only part thats hard to find, I didn't list #'s for the controler relay or the temp switch because there are many different companies that make these and the price varies quite a bit. I figured the person doing it...

    Aircraft Tractor

    congragulations on a great purchase!! this is a great platform for a monster offroader, I dont know if you can drive them on the street though!! the tranny should be a turbo 400/ with either a np205 or np208, the axle ratio is somewhere in the late 6's to mid 7's?? should be based off of the...

    12v or 24v glow plugs...

    In my opinion a 24v set up just for the starter and glow plugs does not justify having it, why not place the electrical load evenly throughout the vehicle and on the batteries? Modern gear reduction 12v starters provide the same "if not more" cranking power and rpms. I like the idea of having...

    Photo gallery

    I may be smoking but I think my pics submitted only show up when I am "logged in" does this mean that other people can only see their own pics, when I came to the site "not logged in" and went to the photo gallery my album was not there??? It did show up after I logged on??

    Fender trimming - sway bar

    the front of these trucks is very heavy and does a good job of keeping the wheels on the ground, flex is going to be limited by the stock shocks, for a better ride and more flex aftermaket shocks "I run pro comp es9000 shocks for 0-2" of lift" they will have a longer shock body and larger...

    hmmwv to cucv upgrades!

    my original engine failed because of multiple cracked pistons. my radiator has been recored with the four row using the larger cooling tubes "the old one was corroded badly". I saw the a-1 fan on e-bay but was out bid at the last second, this is where I got the idea of using that fan. I am...

    hmmwv to cucv upgrades!

    has anyone ever modified a radiator fan from a hmmwv A-1 to bolt up to the cucv fan clutch? The A-1 uses a clockwise rotation 10 blade composite fan. Coupled to a 110 gpm high flow water pump and high flow 180 degree thermostat this would be a "low cost" but very effective cooling stystem...
