10 bolts suck...period The only gain is that parts are relatively cheap and you can score entire housings for **** near free. Anything but moderate wheeling with something under 33's would be ok and that is if you stay out of rocks, high horsepower, low gearing, and shocking the driveline. If...

I'm just thinking that any 120v 15amp window shaker unit would have a hard time keeping a cab cool, especially one that is not thermally well sealed. That is pretty much any old truck. I think your best way is to use a vest or a traditional AC system driven off the engine. If not, do what...

Could replace the 24v motor with a small gas engine from say a lawn mower. That way you could pre cool the cab and run it without having the truck idling. Plus you gain all the benefits of a standalone AC system. I do like your setup though.

Not yet, has not been a priority. One day I'll swallow the $200 and solve that problem.

Are you running something 208v 3 phase in the shelter? Why not convert to single phase 120v so you have the ability to plug the shelter in to conventional residential or generator power? I required my M1031 to 120/240 with an L14-30 plug so my truck would be useable. Of course you may need it...

You may have a failing IP that has internal issue. Definitely check the IP for the correct voltage at the solenoid. Trying to run the engine or crank it with air in the system will ruin the prime on the high pressure injection lines. Try cracking them open while cranking with the IP powered up...

What is the problem you are having? You shouldn't have to put a spin on filter or electric fuel pump to correct any problem. You can pull the check valve out to see if the ball is broken or missing but you may have other issues like leaky lines or a failing IP.

That's a 6.2 diesel. Looks to be a solid truck, no major rust issues. In typical fashion, it appears that it was either robbed for parts or someone with little knowledge tried fixing it based on the interior shots. If you read through the stickies and perform all the service and upgrades, it...

Nice ride...too nice to drive!

It boggles my mind how inspection stations get away with this. I truly think it is a combination of ignorant and uneducated techs that regurgitate information without actually knowing anything. For starters, light duty (for the idiots in the world that is K30, K3500, F350, 3500 or anything else...

Ether on a diesel is perfectly OK...as long as it does not have some type of electric assist like glow plugs. The 6.2 will surely explode with the right combination of ether and malfunctioning GP system. First, congrats on getting a Cuck! Very cool rigs to play with and you will have a fun toy...

That kid needs to learn the laws or go back to school... Pretty simple, even someone with zero product knowledge would be able to look at the emissions decal to see what it needs or if it's exempt. Find a new shop! I inspected the M1031 last week and the guy said they have to do emissions...

I thought of that too when I bought mine. I ended up selling the welder and keeping the generator. It is just too big to ship anywhere and make money. Unless you find someone local wanting it, you will be hard pressed to cash it out.

Keep everything in perpective, we are talking about a truck that isn't high on collector value compared to others, always going to be in the sub-$10k price range, and already has a limited buyer's market. Who is dictating paint scheme's? Paint it CARC and call it good, this is a CUCV. If you...

One battery would do it if it was an 8D. A sufficiently sized single battery would weigh over 100 pounds and not be easy to fit in the engine compartment. Don't reinvent the wheel, a pair of decent group 31's will set you back two bills and work great.

Yup, great truck but not $7100+ great. That is entering mint 1st gen Cummins territory and I'd much rather have a 6BT than a Detroit 6.2 in a work truck. A much better investment but don't tell anyone bidding.

I don't quite follow in how the wrong color could cost a sale. Who is buying Cuck's as period correct show pieces? Maybe 1 out of a 100? These aren't numbers matching muscle cars. If it was an MV that was a little harder to come by or had awesome market value like an M998, I could see your...

It is a diaphragm so you may have issues vacuum testing it unless you catch it in the correct spot. Your best bet is just go with the vacuum reading it produces while running.

I have no sales advice but from a buyer's perspective, I'd be content with one that has no rust issues. Bonus if the bed and floor pans are lined with a quality texture like Rhino. It's possible one scheme may be more valuable than another but that may only work if certain regions. Desert tan...

Simple, garage your rig for 6 months out of the year or move out of Massachusetts. The second option will also lessen your tax burden and give you back your god given rights ;) No matter what you do, the calcium slurry and rock salt New England uses destroys everything. If you want to keep it...
