    wiring reverse engineering

    seems to be all fixed!!!! I did the amp gauge bypass and everything is working. I don't know why the instructions have you hook the red and black wire together under the dash. That doesn't make any sense but I did it anyway and all is good. Took it for a test ride and was happy till the...

    Re: RE: Frank Not really but everything is always for sale....... I am giving the one on the far right to my Dad. It is the nicest and needs nothing. As for the other one, low miles but the wiring is kicking my butt. Putting a bunch of redneck engineering into it right now and I hate...

    will a tailgate from an '81 fit a '77

    Subject says it all. JC Whitney sent a new catalog which has a tailgate for a 1977 but the website says it's not availible. The '81 and up is. Any differences? Will it fit? thanks, Mike

    I put Bio in my CUCV!

    I did I had to replace a few of the lines and the fuel pump but I don't think it was for the same reason. The bio will eat the rubber but on mine it happened so fast that I think it was because the veggie oil cleaned the system so well that it actually uncovered leaks that were there already...

    I put Bio in my CUCV!

    Yeah, bio is the way to go and the couple thousand that it would cost to get set up would get payed back pretty quick the the price for fuel. I am going to be out of work for a couple months due to back surgery. While I am sitting around, I will be working on gathering parts for lots of...

    interest in 2 M880's in NC??
