    M1010+700R4 Mission Complete

    I'm running the stock size tires, 235-85-16, I was able to run 65-70 no problem. It seems to get the best fuel mileage around 55, although at 60 it handles the hills better.

    M1010+700R4 Mission Complete

    5 or so years ago I aquired a 700R4 from a mid 80's 6.2 1/2 ton 4x4 chevy pu. I grabbed all the brackets and shift indicator for a complete kit. At the time my intention was to install it in my since sold M1031 shop truck. Funding and the extra work involved with the NP205 w/pto setup stalled...

    Intercom System

    The above mentioned aviation system is the way to go, you can run it off a 9v battery or 12/24 volt vehicle power, plug your external audio source into it, and the headsets are the most comfortable of them all. No switches to push to talk, just talk, and they are noise canceling as well.

    3 minutes approx, when it starts is sounds like a jet engine turbine winding up and gets louder, it will be obvious when it's full on.

    M1010 personnel heater issues

    New question on Mutt repairing

    Part of the "Underbody corrosion repair kit", I have installed a few of the kits and they are nice. Tough to find now, there is a vendor here selling M151 sheet metal, he may have or can make them.

    value of restored original MB vs. restored MB with repro body

    When the jeep police are picking over your jeep (which I have had happen before) just ask them where their jeep is?, they usually just cower away.

    Low idle in drive when stopped?

    Vacuum only there for shifting, has nothing to do with engine rpm.

    Engine Mount Fitment Issue

    I pulled a 6.2 out of a van and swapped it in a CUCV, it would not fit, till I realised the motor mounts were different, might be van mounts.

    M1031 question

    The 12v fusible link can be bad and still show 12v, but as soon as a load is applied it will fail. There is just enough of a connection to show voltage but it won't carry any current. It may have been able to carry enough current after it cooled off. I would replace the main 12v link.
