Nope, I wired the VB to only go into lockup in 4th gear, so in 1st through 3rd, it has no lockup. Once it downshifts into 3rd, or drops below 55 MPH in 4th, it comes out of lockup automatically. Basically, the toggle switch is there to shut off lockup in 4th gear, which I rarely do since it will...

Have you considered upgrading your steering to crossover type? It will take care of the frame cracking flaw mentioned earlier, and also gives you full control when you hit a deep hole or ridge on one side of the vehicle when you are offroading. If you are interested, PM me and I can give you the...

As my grandpappy used to say, do it right or don't do it at all. I would strongly recommend removing the old mech pump and pushrod, and installing a block-off plate. The reason most people go to electric vs mechanical is to save a HP or 2 by removing the mech pump from the engine, but I've also...

It's kind of hard for me to picture the setups well without seeing them contrasted in picture-form. Not sure if you've ever seen an old suburban instrument panel of the same vintage. But they had one with a factory tach that I always thought would look great in one of these trucks. Last one I...

Your Honor, We have a written confession and video evidence. The defense rests...:|

I seriously doubt they will give you a hard time. The EUC paperwork is there to keep our equipment out of the hands of potential enemies of the state. Matter of fact, there is a form you can get for selling it to non-citizens in foreign countries and it basically has them promise not to use it...

...And very proud of their parts (expensive).

I have (2) M1009s, (2) M1008s, an M1031, an M1028, (2) M109A3s, (3) M35A2s, (1) M35A3, (4)M105A2s, and (4) M105A3s, and would not want to sell any of them. Their value is only going up at this time, and I predict very soon it will be skyrocketing, so hold onto any military vehicles you have, and...

I use non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner and spray it in both ends until it runs clean, then spray the inside down good with silicone oil, dump it out good, then reinstall it.

Brake fluid, and not the silicone kind, is also a great penetrating fluid.

Uhh... Don't eat yellow snow!?!?!

Try some Rosanol lighter fluid. It is wetter than ether, and won't hurt your 6.2 in small amounts. You can also try a shot of WD40. BTW, the correct spelling is ether for (C2H5)2O diethyl compound of which you speak. Either is a word used describe one or the other, among other things...

I'm full of it, er, them! Thanks for the agreement. Only problem I see is the lock setup seems like it would be easy to turn with little or no resistance, so anyone with a flat-tip screwdriver of the right size could jam it into either the hex or anti-theft lug nut and get enough bite to turn it...

I just thought of a way to slightly improve your lock. Rather than a hex key, which is fairly common, what if you welded on a keyed lugnut like that found on wheel anti-theft lug nuts. Then you would have a unique pattern that could not be duplicated.

Man, you should have went with the rotty story, people would think the truck is that much more massive. From that distance, who can tell? Oh, and tell your dog I do not mean to insult his intelligence. I have rottys and I know they are not nearly as smart as poodles. Now there would be an...

Took the words right outta my mouth. I bought a nice used Steil (Sp?) for about $650 a few years back. No tag needed like a trailer, and less weight to tow home as well. So far, I have recovered 6 CUCVs, including one M1031 with a bunch of stuff in the back, and my wife's blazer once when she...

Yep, you should have demanded a refund about 54 days ago. You probably would have lost the item, but you wouldn't be waiting any longer for your EUC to clear, the item would be relisted and you possibly could have it for less, and I can just about guarantee any future EUCs you present with will...

Appreciate it, and I also thank the gentleman who sent me the PM and descreetly told me about a possible problem I might have rather than do it publicly. That's class. I still might move the front perches of the rear springs forward a little to increase the shackle angle and move the rear end...

I received a very polite PM stating the shackle angle on the rear spring was not going to let the spring attain it's maximum length when compressed fully. This was a concern of mine when i was building this custom lift. I researched shackles quite a bit, with one of the best websites being: Jeep...
