    Engine discussion again

    OK, the consensus is 6bt. My next question is can you have a 6bt and trans without electronics? I am not sure about this. I know you can with the 4bt.

    Engine discussion again

    I was looking at those links before. I saw a 4bt Dodge at the hospital and it was loud, but not so loud compared to the 6.2. I am just bouncing ideas to get the best information as I don't want to make a purchase and not be happy. They say the 4bt's cost more, but I have found a new one a...

    Engine discussion again

    What trans would you run behind the 6bt? I was hoping to stay away from electronics. EDIT- and not lift the truck too.

    Engine discussion again

    I've been reading more and I am decently sure I can get 150 horsepower with a turbo 4bt and a few mods. I still think this is the best and easiest way to go for me. 4BT Cummins Diesel Specs

    A fuseable link photo map?

    Go to JEGS or EBAY and type in fusible link. That's the easy way anyhow.

    Engine discussion again

    No, there is not anything wrong with my engine. I have been reading all I can about the 6.2, 6.5 Optimizer and P400, 6bt, and 4bt. Some day when I need to buy an engine I was thinking the 4bt is the best bang for the buck. I don't plan on towing much over 6,500 lbs ever and it fits with the...

    wiring connections for a civilian trailer on a M1009

    I wanted a brake controller knowing some day I would do something over my capability, so I just paid to have it installed. Not the best advice, but worked for me. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/46121-trailer-wiring-adapter-cucv.html...

    Gen 2 light comes on when I restart engine

    I think it just works that way. I've never driven one where it didn't come on until you hit the pedal.

    Elvis freaking me out

    No offense, but I loved Elvis and everytime I read doghead correcting someone it is like getting an alpha charlie from Elvis. Just weird and freaking me out. That said, doghead must have loved Elvis too having so many pictures or known him. So I have to ask...what's the story? Did you meet...

    M1009 4x4 indictor light question

    I agree. The first time I saw the light I was surprised how bright it was. I could live without the light easily.

    optima batteries

    I just replaced the Optima RED34 in my Ford I bought in March 2000. It was still good and getting weak during the recent severe cold we had. The battery shop said I got my monies worth. They did say if they get discharged they must be recharged in a special way. I have not had any of the...

    Spin on fuel filter heaters

    Wolverine has some decent prices. I think I will use a battery warmer for the front battery and a fuel filter warmer, and see what happens. I only have to deal with below zero temps for about a month each year. Thanks for the reply. If that don't work it will be a block heater. The lower...

    Spin on fuel filter heaters

    Are the wrap around preheaters for the spin on fuel filter any good? It seems I could figure a way to use the old OEM 12 volt wire left by the firewall when I changed the filter. My M1008 seems to have trouble starting below 0 degrees. I use an additive each fillup. Here is one brand I...

    M1008 Wheel/Tire upgrade

    I kept mine the same size. The wheels only come in gloss in the stock size, but a little dirt and they look fine. 4 Wheel Customs - Pro Comp RockCrawler Wheels All-Terrain T/A KO | BFGoodrich Tires
