I second the recommendation to switch to 395's. MVTs if running primarily on road, XZLs if not. I'm not as enthusiastic about replacing steer tires as opposed to replacing all tires. I've had multiple blowouts at speed. The steer tire blowouts weren't the worse of them. None of them were...

When it works, it makes a fine tire minder if nothing else. Even if you don't use the traction related pressure drops, it still checks tire pressure and makes sure they're all at pressure upon startup. When it doesn't work, it destroys your tires without warning. I've had it on a several...

A note on color - new DOT5 is purple, but it turns yellow after a while. This is useful for determining when you've flushed all the way through with new fluid.

And DOT5 tolerates higher temps. For most applications DOT3 is OK, if it's the only thing in the system. It's important to thoroughly flush the system when going between dot3 and dot5 as they are incompatible with each other. You see a lot of people switch their trucks to DOT3 in the name of...

To my knowledge and experience, DOT5 is the fluid to use.

Presumably the security feed from the cameras isn't stored in the cameras.

You are correct. The dash switch controls where the fuel gauge looks. Th floor valve to the left of the driver seat on the floor controls where the fuel comes from. I'm not familiar with the valve "us6x4" mentions.

No doors? In all seriousness , if your goal is leak reduction or noise abatement, there's not much advantage fornX doors over soft doors.

Having done it today, it's emphatically an AN6 on the inlet and an AN5 on the outlet. NH250 and dated 1984. I'm sure all of us are trying to avoid giving misinformation. Apparently there's at least two variations and probably more. The lesson to be taken is check yours before ordering/buying...

With experience specific to AZ and a sample size of dozens, I will emphatically state that the single most important variable is who you get behind the counter. Simple luck of the draw....

For anyone reading this looking for a resolution- AN4 male to male was the wrong size. The inlet was AN6 and the outlet was AN5. This was on a shutterstat dated March of 1984. A custom little 2" hose from NAPA with a male AN6 and a male AN5 bypassed the shutterstat no problem. At which point...

As long as your negative jumper cables is hooked to the rear battery negative post , you should be able to jump the rear battery. Been a while since I've played with cucv's, but if I remember correctly I've done it without issue.

Why could we not do this with the rear battery?

Bobbed deuce. Aftermarket power steering. I have nothing useful to add. I watch with interest to see what the eventual resolution is. Meanwhile I'll hold off on adding PS to my deuce on 395's.

In real world situations, likely one battery is more dead than the other, so it's worth attempting to jump one battery from a 12v vehicle. If you're going to attempt to charge both of the cucv's batteries, instead of wiring them together just charge one for 10 min or so and then attempt to...

This rules out PPV completely.

How high is your pressure going?

We've got a truck(M923A1) that's having trouble maintaining air pressure. It had a couple of constant leaks that we fixed, and several intermittent leaks (heisenbugs). One of the leaks is the shutterstat. Fan is on. Whistling leak at the external vent port. While obviously the long term...

And at the point you haven't found any obvious problems to correct and you feel the need to start throwing parts at it.... start with the rubber fuel lines. The rubber lines can appear to be brand new with no problems whatsoever and still suck air.

You can. My opinion is that is also a suboptimal solution, but it works. A mixed set means the spare won't match. This has the potential of sticking a combat rim on the front if the front blows and the spare is a combat rim, or puts a hemtt rim with its different offset on the back if your...
