If you are 17 and own an M1009 you make anyone on here older jealous. Rock On! I tell anyone young getting into the wheeling sport or working on cars to save your money and prioritize education. You will have plenty of time after college or tech school to play with toys. Use your money...

Tease! Don't let this happen again...

What are your plans for offroading? If you are going mild, then a decent tire and shock upgrade might be the only thing in order. If you are going to do anything remote or wild, then you are probably going to be looking for full 1 ton upgrades as the 10 bolts do not take much abuse. The entire...

I agree, work the blown fuse part first before handling anything else. Blown fuses cause things to back feed in real funky ways. It could be a bad ground causing some of the symptoms but it wouldn't blow a fuse.

Blown fusible links make me nervous, sounds like you may have a compound problem. Anyone have a writeup on replacing the fusible links with a automotive maxi fuse or something like that? Fusible links went out with the 80's:shock:

This by far has been the best posting on AC to this day! Hope there is a build thread on this... As far as the rest goes, I'm not quite sure what to say PC here. A CUCV is by no means anything special or hard to replicate. Having said that, I think chopping one or de-militarizing it should...

I'd rather spend the $100 up front for a new Group 31 than have to walk somewhere on a cold morning...

Do not forget the voltage drop scenario as the starter, solenoid, and wires heat up. This will create voltage drop and at 12v may be affected greater than at 24v. The math comes out the same but in reality, it just doesn't function equally. If the starter cables remain the same size in...

I'm not sure what you are converting the M1031 to but I would like to add another saddle tank. I think I'm going to weld a filler neck at the top at an angle. Hope it works. You can buy kits online that have a cnc'd threaded piece to weld in with a cap.

I have been thinking a lot about something like this for my M1031. Example would be running a fridge, microwave, etc. I have come to the conclusion as to not screw with a good thing. I am keeping my trucks electrical system isolated. I am going to put a shore power plug to run all of my trucks...

Boston Four individual roads all next to each other in parallel with an overpass above. The GPS basically self destructs. It still knows how fast you are going though. So atleast you know how fast you are going when you want to kill someone:D

I paid $6k for mine which was mint condition. Meaning everything there, absolutely no rust, solid rig. Don't get me wrong, it still needed so much maintenance but all the big ticket items were there. I think I could have maybe gotten a slightly better deal or price, I never looked back at...

This is the common love/hate relationship.

Great location for speedo parts! I have a 205 tcase. All I saw was the gear that is splined onto the output shaft. I need to change the speedo cable gear I'm assuming. This site didn't have too much on the 205 tcase.

Does anyone have a known good speedo gear tooth count for the classic 4.56 37" tire combo?

Besides just doing a typical AC compressor install on the 6.2, I think there is only one better alternative. Use a small gas engine to power a compressor and small alternator. Make the system completely self sufficient. You can run it when the truck isn't on. The power for the blower and...

Sounds like it is time to park it and tear in. Pull every electrical component apart and clean it, rebuild both alternators, replace both batteries, change out the box filter for a spin on, change all glow plugs and verify proper operation, do a resistor bypass mod, doghead mod, etc etc etc...

This is what happens when young kids can't figure out a standard H shift pattern on a six speed transmission. Why does the scan tool show a cam and crank correlation issue at 13,000 rpms??? DOH! Don't let off the clutch pedal unless you know what gear you're in :)

The good news is that I am typically only wrong once a year so I have another 3 months of stellar awesomeness coming up...

OK, that is a moment of stupidity. :shock: Conventionally on a gas engine, this would happen. I stand corrected on a diesel this would pump into the vacuum pump assembly. I bow down to the doghead todayfat lady sings
