    Good work. Thinkin about turning mine up a bit. You get more power?

    Heating the back of my deuce

    You'd have to have the engine running to power an inverter - just FYI. A 300 watt inverter killed a large deep cycle of mine in about an hour.

    RE: doghead starter relay modifcation

    Band goes towards the positive lead. (one connected to power). Other end goes to ground.

    Check this GamaGoat travesty

    We already have Ariel Photo's and other surveillance. We even have people who've cased the place. Wouldn't be hard to move all that in one night, considering the GIANT ARMY of trucks we all have at our disposal (all members of SS). I live in Canada, so I can't bring one home across the boarder...

    fuel aditive in your tank

    I add 1 quart 2 stroke oil to every tank. New diesel doesn't have enough lubricants for older Injector Pumps. I figure that if 2 stroke oil at 50:1 mix can lube the crankcase on my chainsaw enough to keep it working, 100:1 should save my injector pump. I wouldn't burn fuel without a lubricating...

    M1009 Glow plug override switch

    I agree with Jack. One switched wire to the GP solenoid should do the trick. Good luck.

    Picking up tomorrow and questions

    A small block Bolts up to engine mounts and tranny without modification. You'll want a new torque converter and probably a new tranny governor. (or else your gasser will shift early like the diesel did). Flush the fuel tank well if you reuse it.. Diesel in a gasser is bad. Might need vapor...

    Would anyone know why my radio and VIC kit will not work together?

    Could you just modify the cable and connect the J terminal to a source of power?

    Weird Electrical Problem

    My turn signals always work without the key in. I wouldn't be too concerned about the water in fuel light, I just check mine every so often. (replaced my filter system with a spin on and didn't want to pay $80 for the sensor). But, if you like it: there is a 3 prong plug that comes out of your...

    Best Thing You've Found in Your CUCV

    My M1009 had the rifle rack still installed. Nothing else at all that should've been in there. Had an axe holder installed beside the drivers seat. Thought that was cool, truck was ex-fire dept. Oh, and I found an empty condom wrapper and rubber glove inside the tailgate when I fixed the roll up...

    CUCV headlight aiming bolt fix

    Thankyou! I 've been wondering what those threads were. I've been planning the same thing for a while, I'm not a fan of droopy headlights :grin:

    10 grade motor oil

    45 Quarts! I'd filter that and put it in my M1009, that's half a tank of fuel. Never heard of a standard with a torque converter.. Just let off the gas to shift? no clutch I guess..

    M1009 Brakes

    I heard these trucks have a different prop. valve for the breaks than the civvy ones.. I heard that the civvy one's have some adaptive system to put more power to rear brakes when the truck is angled up at the front (more power to lowest wheels = better stopping). And that these trucks don't...

    No Start, Wiring?

    I'd check that the relay under the dash is working. (the one that would be replaced by the DH relay if you did that) and then check for power on the thin wire going to the starter while key turned to start. If both check out, I'd think the starter solenoid is the problem.. Not sure if you can...

    24v LED headlights

    Correct, those should be 12volt headlights. I haven't seen LED replacements, but I have seen HID replacements for those. Also seen a housing that took a halogen H4 bulbs, the housing was the same size as the old sealed beam. The idea is that you can get brighter H4 bulbs than sealed beams. I...

    engine swap problems

    Or you could "crack" (slightly loosen) compression fitting on each injector while it's running, one at a time. (then retighten and crack the next one) (cracking them makes them leak fuel and stop injecting into cylinder, basically turns off the cylinder) Each injector should slow the engine down...

    Any one do the Roscommon 12volt conversion?

    Didn't mean to be disrespectful, I apologize. I have respect for anyone brave enough to try to fix stuff on their own. Is there power to the small wire on the starter when to turn the key to start? Is there power at the battery cable on the starter? Is there 12volts on one of the big terminals...

    wont start

    I agree Dave. That's what I meant. The 4 pin under the dash that I was going on about is the starter relay. I.C.E = "round plug thing" (sorry for not using the proper terms)

    engine swap problems

    Yeah, i agree with doghead, injectors are my first bet too. Did you check compression? just thinking out loud..

    wont start

    I agree, sounds like the starter could be the problem. Maybe check for power at the starter wires before pulling the starter, just incase it's the under dash starter relay. Do you hear any clicking or anything when you turn the key to "start"? (you might have to unhook your glowplug relay to...
