    Batteries, Charging, and using a Winch question.

    You can reach gen 1 light without taking the cluster out from under the dash...not to tight under there. 194 bulb is what I normally put in there. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    M1008 harsh and late 1-2 and 2-3 shifting

    So post pics of what's left of the transgo kit plus it's number. Shifting wise 15 mph into 2nd and 35 into 3rd is about normal with light throttle. Does it shift higher with more throttle? Define harsh...like bang shift or just firm. What vacuum inlbs at the modulator do you have at idle. Sent...

    Project Wild Weasel M1009

    If the 2 bolts that hold the reducer and input didn't break off inside the pump housing, I could have rebuilt it for under 50$. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Been fighting my glows, if the truck sits for about an hour after I drive it up to operating temp. Even replaced the stock temp sensor with a nos one to turn on the glows for a few seconds so it starts easy...but it still won't. So I did a thing that isn't stock but I hid it pretty good in the...

    Seems like this is turning into a build thread.

    That magic spring did come out of your steering column...it's the key in the ignition ground...I usually chuck those since I don't like that buzzing noise. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Dang, that's a nice one. I keep buying old ones and fixing them...use them for a bit and sell them and repeat. Are you gonna paint that army green or sand? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Blown Head Gasket Recovery (no longer) - Massive Engine Failure (!)

    Dang this entire thing makes me sad!! Got a new motor and it exploded. I have no idea why it did that...I'd think if you had a fuel issue the egt would have gone up a bunch, they react fast too. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Can I switch out flat wiper arms for Jhook arms on 1986 m1009

    Yup!! Dorman makes a set that I've put on 4 so far. Fit good plus has the hook. I put 2 19 inch wiper blades on too. Amazon says they don't fit but they do. No more blades falling off! Wiper arms are 25 each and the blades 15 a pair. Good paint in them too. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    That's not od green canvass!! That's the table we used to paint the hood on..got sprayed too. The honda is a 5 gallon per minute 5k psi pump...I think the honda has a 3 gallon tank. That is a switch for a cucv too...took it out of the cab out back. That pump setup weighs just at 140 lbs. It's a...

    Project Wild Weasel M1009

    I'll go pressure wash someone's stuff before I loan one out again! What most people don't know is if you leave the engine running without using the water it gets very hot then burns up the pump or the release valve will pop...this is a 13 horse honda with a 5k 5 gallon with a burned up pump...

    Windshield rubber m1031

    Well...no we didn't///ugh I Know we probably should have...it's outside with no wind plus I am using a HVLP gun that has 17 lbs of pressure so really no mist at all even with max paint on a 1.8 gun. In my younger years with the guns that ran a lot more pressure I wore everything. Yeah it was...

    Windshield rubber m1031

    It's an Alkyd based...we did it outside in the morning with the nice wet grass and no bugs!! I thinned it a touch with acetone but that was it. It did take a while to dry for sure but that's ok. Was barely 60 out maybe 70 tops and low humidity. The paint was dated from 2001! It really did mix...

    MEP-803A Batteries & Long Term Use

    One thing I would look at is what type of charger maintainer you get. Some like the NOCO work well with the lead acid as they do have a desulfate in the low charge maintain setup. If you have the lead acid it probably wouldn't hurt to check acid level as well. Brand isn't a very big deal with...

    I poured 2 cans in a 5 gallon bucket and mixed them up in that. Needed a plastic scraper to get it out of the can. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Ok so the day has finally come after over a year of my son working on his second blazer. It's on the road! Had a glitch with the power steering pump going out after 5 miles but other than that it's all painted up nice. I replaced all the light sockets with new ones and put new lenses on the...
