1/2" NPT is what mine is. So I began to switch hoses around. After a few reviews my routing is thus: New 1/2" nipple would be the source for my coolant filter. From the coolant filter the flow will continue into a 'y' and into the the inlet side of the heater core. The crossover will...

Call the boys at the local VFW and AM Legion. Theyre always well connected and really dont care for this sort of thing.

50Shooter try this: Get in the truck and crank it immediately without cycling the glowplugs (Or if your gp system is intact) before the plugs have a chance to cycle. If theres a small air leak in your fuel line this should purge the air out. May have to do it a little longer if you havent...

With my new acquisition (m1008) Ive noticed it's common for the truck to fire up and die when cold. It is usually difficult after that to get it to fire up again. Truck has new ac delcos with a good 12v supply to them. The truck isnt plugged in or at least the plug heater doesnt appear to make a...

July is the time to install a block heater, not january. S-can those old batts for some new ones, make sure ALL of your gp's are in working order and try to use a synth or synth blend 15-40. Good, clean batt connections with full batts will work as well as brazillion watt block heaters, but dont...

Im missing something. Whats the consequences?

Man I lucked out. There was an auto dealer going out of business and they let the fire dept have anything we wanted out of the service bays. I picked up some couragated rubber hose used for venting exhaust out of their bays while they worked on cars. Id try an older service station, IIRC its...

I dont think Id be using a 3 color woodland cover. Id just touch up that paint and put on a desert or solid green cover. That particular camo scheme is very cool.

No reason to be obtuse. Unforgiven, the ball is in your court to modify the title and make it a one-stop list of where to get ALL the right filters with all the right info using an efficient line of thought. The next guy to come along with less than a hundred posts and not realizing the TM's are...

Silly rabbit, run a hotwire off the ignition from the fuse box. Theyre all 12v (except for the one marked 28v). And yes, the tent light is C or D batts. I dig the portability and multi use of the tent light. One could track down the factory foot lights (boneyard) out of a 'burban or pick up...

I remember seeing those kind of seat covers in Quadratech for jeeps with either molle or alice clips. They are def the proverbeal cats pj's.

I dont believe this line of thought is correct. While the output from the block heater works best flowing directly into a freeze plug access it is still acceptable for the output to be Y'ed into the crossover via the heater core feed hose. The block heater backflows warmed water from the...

Tent light from Wallyworld. Its $10, its magnetic and can be moved to under the hood whilest working in the dark.

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/25580-cold-cucv-2.html#post265213 After driving the blazer a bit (and in all fairness I may not have driven all the air out yet) it seems there isnt the heat that Im GONNA have flaming out of the ducts. Im on a quest and I will have my heat (...in this life or...

Theres older threads on this. The general consensus was that 1009's doing +70mph were running a lot closer to their redline than comfortable. If Iam driving to Indy for FDIC and Im excited to be going I do have to consciously keep my foot out of the gas, cause it will do 75 w/o effort. You can...

NAPA has been able to match and fill rattle cans when I bought new dashboards for my 1008 and 1009. They look factory too.

Didnt mean to hijack that thread but these are the ones that gave me the insight http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/25580-cold-cucv.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/42466-engine-running-hot-but-heater-not-working.html

Our first pic is of the box, part number, and where to obtain it (for $20). Pic number 2 shows the proper part ready for install. Notice the silly looking puck. Not sure what the dif is but it seems to be working better than before the install. Pic 3 is the orientation of the 'stat. Pointy...

So... After 5 yrs of MV ownership theres a few things I thought I'd share with the class. The first mv was my daily driver M1009. Its also the first diesel Ive owned. I'll admit that I dont know all there is but Im a little further along than when I first started banging around this board. I...

DONT use the chevy350 starter bolts sold at autozone, ever. They dont fit. Get the bolts from chevy and get 4 (or 6). Also, purchase a good set of easy outs. A disconnect switch on the batteries would speed up this process too. I didnt shim a starter once. Clearly had the 'dont shim' on its...
