    trouble shooting no speedometer

    Try Speedometer Gear, Speedometer Gears, Ford, GM, Dodge 700R4 . Scroll down to GM/Ford/Dodge Ratio Adapters. If you still have your old adapter laying around the ratio should be stamped on it. A good transmission shop can build you an adapter with nearly any desired ratio though. For...

    HELP! Starting problems... see video

    For me it sounds like a lack of fuel. So replacing the fuel filter would be my first thing to do. Walter

    Deathwobble fixed and back again, help!

    Since this thread comes to life again and because i can't find it already mentioned, i want to say that old/bad king pin bushings and springs could cause dw as well. If worn or when mounting oversized tires the original setup isn't enough and you should give more preload by adding a washer...

    38x14.5x16

    Already talked to Kert. He said it is possible to use ez and shim together but they avoid it if possible and they suggest welding them together for additional insurance. That's why i would get some other oppinions. Of course i could have asked this on ck5, but looking at the thread here with...

    38x14.5x16

    Sorry, think I had to be more specific - i do have zero rates in the back (with 1"offset) so I'm quite familiar with that. ;-) What interests me is if there's not too much move in this setup (zero rates plus shims plus leafs). I'm in the need of 10 degree shims, 1" of lift and 1" offset for my...

    38x14.5x16

    spink7124 Very nice setup! Truly love that rear bumper. A few questions though: tires are 39.5/16.5/16 right? Are the zero rate and the shim welded together on your front springs? Any steering/driving issues? I also have plans to go with the DIY4 front kit and 52 springs. Did you do any mods to...

    Vacuum Reg Valve, need it?

    IMHO, bypassing the VRV results in very early and soft shiftings. Walter

    at the end of my rope!!!

    The valve on the return line on top of the ip could be clogged. This sometimes leads to strange things on the engine. Early pumps do have an internal seal that dissolve. The small parts plug the return valve. There's a transparent spring loaded ball inside the valve. So without any dirt in it...

    Head liner in the M1008

    Now that I'd call a pretty nice modification. [thumbzup] How difficult was it to install and where did you get the headliner - LMC? Maybe it also helps as a sound deadener. Looking at your dash it seems civvy too (heater/defroster thingy on the passenger side). Walter

    HMMWV Oil Pan in CUCV?

    Irrc the newer engines with the one piece rear main seal do have a different oil pan design which will not fit the CUCV 6.2l engine. A motor out of an older HMMWV's shouldn't be a problem though. Walter

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Nice Setup! :!: 2 Questions though: - is there an electrical connection on the fuel/water separator to work with the dash "water in fuel" light? - does the filter have a heating element like the box type? Walter

    Two questions regarding gear ratio's

    Yepp. Besides, iirc there's no lower (faster) gearing than 3.73 for the D60/14bFF combo. Maybe for a D70 . . . Walter

    Help with Glow Plugs

    When 2 of my glow plugs were not connected, i also did see a somewhat rough idle for about 10 seconds. Walter

    Low Coolant Light?

    On my truck a somewhat flashing low coolant light is caused by oxidation. Sanding the tip of the sensor (located on passenger side of radiator half way down with a yellow (?) wire helps a lot. Another thing are the grounds between chassis, battery and engine. Walter

    Help with Glow Plugs

    x2 Have manual glow plug operation (without after glow) for years now and all I can say is that a rough idle after start up is mostly due to fuel delivery. Temperatures get as low as - 20° Celcius here. Smoke is another issue though . . . Walter
