I found this locally. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=3834125&cat=103&lpid=1

I found this posting locally. It is being used to haul Jet-A at the local airport. He is asking $18,000 for it. That seems really steep to me.

My suburban's guage fuse blew and I cant locate the short that caused it. :( It's been cold and snowy, so I just rooted around under the dashboard for a while, til I found the headlight buzzer, which started buzzing nonstop after the fuse blew, and rupped it out. I have been driving for a...

My phony CUCV (85 3/4 ton Suburban w/6.2/TH400) has developed an unsafe condition. The steering pulls to the right during normal driving, but pulls hard to the left during braking! Here's the deal, though, it's got new shocks, year old tires, new draglink thinger (the link from the gearbox...

My next door neighbor finished his MUTT restoration project just last week! (Yeah right, like a project such as this is ever finished!) He handed it over to me to take for a spin, and take some pictures of, so here they are:

Ever since I did my 700R4 to TH400 conversion, I have been using the 700's dipstick. I know it's probably not correct, but at least it gets me into the ballpark. I collected a handfull of tranny sticks when I was at the junkyard last night (they gave them to me for free), and I was hoping...

How much Gasoline can you run a Multifuel on safely? I mean, can you actually run on 100% gas?

I found a Banks turbo on a junkyard 6.2. There is a little bit of shaft play, nothing too bad. The problem is that someone has swiped all of the intake ducting. Banks air filter housing, gone. Air filter to turbo tube, gone. Turbo to intake tube, gone. Is there any way to (cheaply) build...

I have heard of folks swapping a Cummins 6BT into a duece with acceptable results, but I just got to wondering if the reverse would even be possible/feasable. How much more does a LDT weigh fully dressed. How much bigger is an LDT than a 6BT? The durability to affordability ratio of a...

I know that posting pics of battle damage is verboten, but I figured that this would be OK. This cardboard HMMWV was the product of a combination of too much caffine and too little to do plus a bit of ADHD. Then my son got ahold of it and did some of his own expedient modifications.

One day when I lived in the Philippines (in 2000), I was on a hike in the jungle with a friend in the Aroura province. We were walking down a winding, single lane highway (you dont want to get too far away from the road there), when we heard a strange noise. It was a resounding, reverberating...

I have the opportunity to aquire a "boatload" of surplussed 20l. jerry cans for a reasonable price. The only problem is that most of them need new seals on the lids. These cans are the kind that have the small oblongish opening that is not centered on the side of the can. You know, the kind...

My neigbor is restoring a M151, and I am his mechanical advisor. (He doesnt have much mechanical experience, so he bribed me to help with a 12-pack of Mountain Dew. Dont tell him that I would have done it for free!) We have the engine and gearbox removed and separated. He has a new rear...

My neigbor bought this 151 last summer off ebay. He brought it home while my brother and his family were visiting from Washington. I begged him to take it for a spin, and he gladdly allowed me to. My brother and 2 nephews jumped in too, and I yelled for the wife to get the camera. Take a...

Here's some pics of my Superburban (my M100008) playing around in Moab this last weekend: http://www.biodieselpictures.com/viewtopic.php?t=379

Check it out! A Duece school bus! I saw this in Moab this weekend. They do tours in this beast. They built it by cutting the front half of the frame of the school bus off and stacked the back half onto the Duece's frame. (That other pic is my Superburban running around on Fins 'n Things. I...

Does anyone have a manual or PDF on how to rebuild a stanadyne injector pump? I have a bunch of spares laying around in my garage, and I thought I would try my hand at rebuilding. And I am aware that it requires "specialty stanadyne tools". Not a big deal.
