Ok. From what you all have said, condensation is my enemy and it's not a diesel specific issue, right? So if it's already a warm engine it is fine, but a bad thing to do to a cold engine. Using that theory, I suppose I shouldn't short-run cold gasoline engines either. Thank you all. I guess I...

I hope I am asking this in the right forum but I have two MVs this question pertains to. I have never owned a diesel engine and within the last four months, I am an owner of two. I hate to hear an engine sit idling needlessly and at low oil pressure, so I have always shut gas engines off even if...

I think you are both correct. I think I was only looking at the outer. I will pull the snapring tomorrow and check the inner gear. Thank you both for pointing this out for me. At least since getting that extra snap ring out it isn't engaging the hup partially anymore when I drive it, but that...

Well, I did open hub back up to check that and that inner gear is flat on both sides. Completely reversible. All the civy hubs I've ever been into had a recessed area that faced outward, but then again, I've never owned a truck with a Dana 60.

Same here while in eastern Ohio or WV northern panhandle

Will look into that tomorrow evening.

Welcome and congrats on the "steal".

Looking good!

Fixed my hub that was partially locking itself in. Pretty easy fix. Have no idea why this extra clip was in there floating around, but removed it and gave it a five-mile road test and the hub never moved. Also, tore into my nonworking front bumper mounted blackout light hoping to simply replace...

Oh yeah, threw a first aid kit in her too. Have one in both MVs now. Just seems like it should be in a vehicle that carries the appearance of those vehicles that still serve fellow Americans.

Also, earlier in the week I made an adapter for a flat, four prong trailer connector. I made it using panel nails soldered to the wires and using a male 110v cord end's cover as it slipped over the truck's military trailer connector perfectly. This took two attempts as the first try I used...

Yesterday I switched wheels with my CUCV and my civy truck, who's place the 1008 took place of due to a cracked frame. These are within a half inch of the size these trucks came with. Had humvee tires on there and a horrible vibration from them. Smooth ride now.

The triangles are law once commercial so I, again, pulled overkill and put flares in there as well. I figure on some blind turn on these hills at night it's best to give plenty heads up.

Awesome to know that the axle is the weak point. So easy to change on full floaters.

I hope not. Just never know using it commercially. Might make DOT guys happier and not get the fine tooth comb broke out.

I tested my bumper mounted hitch tube and you were dead on. The weight of this mobile office (which I only moved rearward 15') had the bumper looking like it was going to come apart. I am going to limit the receiver to 500#. The plate was bowed down and had me sweating to hurry up and get that...

Threw a first aid kit in her.

Nice breakdown for him guys! I needn't say much now except when I served in mid 80s I was issued and drove my squad's 5-ton dump(12B!). One day they asked me to drive a deuce 'n a half for headquarters company. After I was done I begged my squad leader to never even ask me to volunteer to get...

Got under truck today while I was there making a recepticle adapter and noticed the 1/4" steel plate I welded my receiver tube to is actually welded (by GM) to braces that directly mount to the frame. I'm confident that setup will haul my mower at top speeds of 45 mph being It only sees windy...

Good call
