    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Marcus that’s a good idea to flush those lines and cooler. Do you know if there is a procedure in the TMs for how to flush?

    TM Location for List of Fusible Links

    I want to assemble a fuse repair kit to keep in the truck with spare fusible links. Does anybody know the location in the TMs of a list of the fusible links and their size? Yes I have searched until my eyes are crossed (or more crossed than they were). Thanks in advance for replies.

    Vacuum regulator valve replacement, time?

    Ummmmm...... you are most likely in trouble. It is against forum rules to post links to live auctions.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    OK I got the new JB Fabrications cable shifter temporarily installed to make sure everything worked the way I wanted it to. I fabricated a temporary wooden platform and attached it to the NP241 so that the shifter handle is positioned in the approximate location that it will be after the P400...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    That is going to be nice. Good design. I am doing something similar but different - if that makes sense. I have designed and fabricated a dash-mounted gauge cluster pod which will mount under the dash pad between the radio delete plate and dash door. This will completely cover the ashtray...

    Trailer options? Will a M1008 on 37's tow a gooseneck.?

    I hope that you start a new thread on your project. I'm sure there are many others besides myself who would like to follow your engineering.

    1031 to shelter carrier dually conversion

    John I get all that kind of stuff from McMaster Carr. Google them and they will pop right up. Hope this helps. P.S. - I am still looking for a good pair of CUCV front fenders.

    Motor Oil - Synthetic or Rotella?

    Yes that is probably true. However I am installing a 24-volt 2GPM aircraft pre-oiler pump on a momentary toggle switch to build oil pressure to all bearing surfaces during the glow-plug heating cycle. In addition, I am not turbo-ing the engine so heat break-down will not be a concern either...

    Motor Oil - Synthetic or Rotella?

    Thanks for your post. Although I have already decided to use Rotella T4, I am curious - what exactly are the "benefits of synthetic"?

    Motor Oil - Synthetic or Rotella?

    Rick - you may remember that I am installing a Spinner centrifugal oil cleaner on my engine, therefore I am not too concerned about the quality or effectiveness of the can filter. It is my understanding that the big differences between the brands pertains to the quality and longevity of the...

    Motor Oil - Synthetic or Rotella?

    Thanks Karl for your post. My feelings exactly. And thanks everybody for your opinions. My new engine will not be turbo’ed and I can assure everyone that it will never break a sweat. Probably will never see mud and will only leave the pavement occasionally. So I will stick with Rotella T4 15-40.

    Motor Oil - Synthetic or Rotella?

    I am fast approaching a point in time when I will need to install new motor oil in my GEP P400 engine. I have read the arguments pro and con until my Walmart readers fogged up. So I thought I would start this thread to ask for expert opinions. My P400 long block arrived from GEP in a crate...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Made a little more progress today. Got the GM14020856 brace rod installed between the NP241 and the P400 engine block. Also installed the bracket for the new transfer case cable shifter from JB Custom Fabrication...
