Hey, curious...how'd the trans swap go? Did you get that done yet?
the 4-speed has got to be a great mod for the cucv. did you mention you also swapped gears?

alt fuel cost/benefits
Bjorn, with your calculations using bio/WVO this past year or so, how does the bottom line look?
Costs of materials, investment in space/personal time, etc...is there some sort of "ballpark" number that you might hazard a guess as to a "price per gallon" for your...
greasecar website
Bjorn, I've been glomming thru greasecar.com, saving stuff to my PC and it is truly a great resource.
Also, I've been doing the same with all of your posts on your WVO/bio work....made a "bio" folder to use as reference when not on the 'net.
Good luck on the 240D conversion...
Re: RE: alternative fuels
now here's something ironic....old 240D's and 300D's/TD's are on my short list of Xperimental bio-cars that I've been thinking of....given the choice between older/plentiful diesel vehicles (old rabbits, jettas, etc).....
my brother-in-law has a parked 82 300SD that...
alternative fuels
Thanks for your insight, BB...I had the sense that "burning oil" in the form of used motor oil would be fairly noxious....
but I had not done much research yet into the possibilities. I am trying to go as "clean and green" as I can....it would be great to be able to truly go...
alternative fuel choices for diesel....opinions
Guys, thanks alot for those perspectives on use of other fuel substitutes. Lee, thanks for that numerical data.....wow! Veggie oil & biodiesel sure seem to be pretty darn clean!
I am thinking of not only using my duece :P but experimenting with...
alternative fuels
what exactly happens to the filters? are they just clogging, do you notice a performance difference, what's the exhaust smoke (visible smoke) like, how's it smell (does it smell like a car does when it's literally "burning" oil), these are a few questions I had about using...
I am doing more and more in-depth reading on the use of WVO, SVO, biodiesel blends, and so on (used ATF, used motor oil, among other things) for diesel-powered vehicles and equipment.
Mostly, I am interested in these options as a way to save money from overpriced fuel, but just as importantly...
filters, oil and fuel, rambling
Well, it was merely a coincidence, but a few days back I went ahead and replaced all 3 fuel filters with stock filters....just one of the many things on my to-do list. In the 5 years I've owned my deuce, I've put no significant miles on the truck. When I got it...
had you given this any thought, Mike? could have a HEMMT folder, an FMTV folder, a contemporary gun trucks folder, whatever....strykers, LAVs, whatever....as well as foreign jobs, like the late-model Unimogs.....
there's alot of current conflict vehicles that would warrant separate subfolder...
Norwegian M621 thread with Peacekeeper "before" pi
I believe that series of pics was posted on the old greensix site, and those were the detailed photos I was talking about.
They clearly showed the airshift dash arrangement, the axle housings, etc....including lots of shots of the truck in...
old greensix site
That was what I figured...that the site had faded away....I had a bunch of saved pics from that site, all those Norwegian deuces had that cool geometric pattern camoflage, and the triple-air shift panel sure looked cool on the dash....
Norwegian diffs
OK, I am still looking around. If the White Owl guys have them, I'll try checking into that this week.
Meanwhile, whatever happened to that greensix site? It was very cool, back when I saw it several years ago.
And as far as detroits, can the marine corps 5-ton lockers be made...
I lost the old internet pages I had saved from several years ago, that had some great pics of the air-locker diffs used on the deuces exported to Norway.
I seem to recall that the old greensix website (now gone) had the collection of pictures, does anyone have some ideas on where to surf for...
Turchet and his fan base
Sorry if I offended you, Steve doesn't seem to mind if he offends his readers. Remember the Mutt-Jeep thing? -SKi
yeah! he really, totally dissed the Mutt. again, why does an old fart have to be god?
OK, before I begin to hear the thump of 4.2 mortars barraging my...
Go gently, grasshopper...chat about Turchet
M880. Been there, done that. Nice truck, worst gas milage short of the deuce. Maybe a deuce is better. Put a early 70's Dodge NP205 setup in there, you are light years ahead of the game. Love the body style, reminds me of a truck version of a...
Moving beds a-la "redneck-style"...
pics are in backwards order, as usual...my oops! :shock:
ok, thought I had a pic of the bed swap when the new bed was up in the air, but here's just after setting it down with the wrecker boom....you can still see the chains laying inside the bed...
