    Multi-Fuel Engine won't start - Compression??

    Oooh that plug. Sorry I thought you meant the plug in the center of the head. Yes, that delivery valve is a mated surface seal.

    Multi-Fuel Engine won't start - Compression??

    No harm, no foul. That's a valid way to check it. Often times people will pull the plug and have someone bump the engine. Using a small wooden dowel or something to confirm the plunger moves up and down on it's own.

    cucv m1028 starting on its own

    Moved to CUCV forum. You've burnt up the fuseable links. Many upgrade the starter relay under the dash. Please search "doghead relay". Your truck will continue to try to start until the relay is corrected.

    Towing power

    80 on the speedo is one thing. Traveling 80mph on the road is different. (You're going to be turning 4100+ rpm to do that with a 31" tire and 4.56 gear) The 6.2 is a oversquare engine design, so that lends to a higher top RPM. But the original design of the 6.2 was for economy in the...

    Towing power

    I'll give a little more info. If it's still 4.56 geared and on 31" tires. 70mph is about 3600rpm. Which is the governed RPM of the civy 6.2. The military IP isn't the same as a civy and has a higher high idle speed. But the internals of the 6.2 are still the same.

    Does he understand the implications of driving it at 70mph?

    Humvees making their way around the world

    They've already gotten plenty of them from Iraq. Easier to take them from the Iraqi army than importing. And it was a Ford.

    I would say the same.

    Multi-Fuel Engine won't start - Compression??

    It could be a factor. But if it runs fine with power, I suspect you have different problems.

    Changing main thread title

    You'll need to report the post and state what you'd like it to read. Depending on the forum and times, you're able to edit posts. But when a user edits the title, it only updates in the thread. Only the staff can change the actual display title.

    Towing power

    Turbo would certainly help, but if it's a 1008/1010/1028/1031 you're going to be dealing with 4.56 gears. I'm guessing it's one of the pickup variants correct?

    Civy Air Conditioning on HMMWV

    I've looked around, but all I've found is people using the military Red Dot AC systems. Anyhow, I wondered, has anyone used one of the civilian "under dash" AC systems in a HMMWV? I understand that you wouldn't be able to put it under the "dash" of a HMMWV. But perhaps it could be relocated...

    Lincoln Welders

    I was talking about the welder only. Lincoln welders were gray. Close to navy gray. The problem with the 101 as the trailer is the fact the welder weighs about 1350-1400lbs dry. Add in fuel, oil, and coolant and you're talking 1500lbs. Add in a set of cutting torch bottles, tools, and all...

    Can't post pics ??

    Sounds like your phone might have some issues. Picture quality will be diminished no matter what on the site. Even if you loaded a 9.6mb picture, it'll be resized to probably 1mb or so.

    Can't post pics ??

    Tapatalk is the easiest means of upload. There's so many flavors of phones/mobile browsers, that supporting them all would be difficult. 9.6mb images are huge. I'm not sure how you'd resize them from your phone.

    Need the info to see what might be going on.

    Can't post pics ??

    Might download powertools image resizer. It's a great simple add on for windows. Then all you have to do is select the photo(s) in question and right click on them, then select resize, all automatic.

    Can't post pics ??

    Try resizing the pics first. If you have 1.1mb internet, you've probably got a 0.5mb upload speed at best. Also try only uploading a pic at a time.
