    Burping the cooling system...

    If your truck has a heater, you need to bleed that too. There is a petcock on top of the heater box that the hoses connect to.

    Annual Northern Pilgramage

    We had chains with us but didn't need to put them on. The ground had not frozen yet when the snow hit, so the tires were able to 'bite' into the mud under the snow. Had it been hard packed and frozen, the chains would have been on. Some of the hills were a little tricky though. Throttle had to...

    Annual Northern Pilgramage

    This is on the way home after getting out of the snow belt. We flat towed the M1009 back to save on fuel. A great time was had by all!

    The chainsaw on the fender was a constant companion. (missing a beacon.... oops)

    Annual Northern Pilgramage

    Here is the diesel generator that I picked up from GL this summer. It started and ran flawlessly. We put over 100 hours on it. With the GI lighting kit we had the inside of the tent lit up like a landing strip, lights outside around the tent, and even a light in the shitter. :) I mounted the...

    Couple of the GP Medium. It was a long night keeping the snow off the roof. (Notice the light in the lower left hand corner of the second pic).

    These two were taken after the snow hit. First one is of another brothers M1009 and the trailer, second is Pappa-G's and my trucks.

    These two pics are of Pappa-G's truck and my truck and trailer on the way up.

    Annual Northern Pilgramage

    Well, I finally have a few minutes to report on the trip. All of the trucks ran great with no problems! That is not to say they didn't 'skin their noses'. I smashed a convoy light and Pappa-G bent a front marker light and fender due to wayward tree limbs. The evening of the deer season opener...

    Yes, sounds like you are loosing prime.

    Power plant heater

    The coolant. I wanted to be able to start the truck in real cooooold weather. The ether seems to be working quite well so far though.

    Power plant heater

    Everything but the oil pans, battery boxes and ductwork. He had a 'reduced' kit he was selling. I didn't need that other stuff for the duece. The mounting brackets that come with it are for a cucv inner fender. I have an extra mounting bracket for the duece cab heater that will fit on the...

    Power plant heater

    The guy in Toronto is pwitter I think. I bought my coolant heater from him. Looks brand new, no corrosion, etc. He is a reliable seller.

    Power plant heater

    -50, I believe it! I see the complete kit has the enclosed battery boxes and oil pans that allow the hot air to cycle through. That is so cool. Throw on the body blankets and you could stay warm on the dark side of the moon even!

    Power plant heater

    Ouch. Well, here in Michigan, the winters get much colder than that tropical cold yooz guyz in NY get! :mrgreen: Seriously, I've never started mine in sub zero temps yet, but it will start in single digits. It just takes a lot more cranking. The cucv's are the ones that have a hard time...

    Power plant heater

    I have not seen one specifically for a duece either, but I would think the cucv coolant heater is the same, albeit some differences in mounting. I've got the cucv kit but have not installed it yet. The multifel heater in the back of the m109 is essentially the same thing without the pump and...

    Annual Northern Pilgramage

    Well guys, it's here again already. Tonight starts our annual hunting expedition to the northwestern corner of Michigans upper penninsula. It's almost a 1000 mile round trip. This will be my dueces' first time up. Last year some may remember Pappa-g had a bent crank and was putting his engine...
