    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    Just measure them. If the dang hole is approximately 1/2” across, then it is 1/4” NPT. If the hole is approximately 5/8” across, then it is 3/8” NPT. If the hole is approximately 3/4” across, then it is 1/2” NPT. I could go in and on. Got it?

    37" hummer tire balancing

    I am currently running new BFG 37's on completely refurbished 12-bolt wheels with new O-rings and Trail-Worthy-Fab's PVC inserts (see my avatar). No run-flats. I am using CentroMatic balancers, consisting of steel balls rotating in a tube. These seem to work better than the Balance Masters...

    Yep that’s the oil pressure idiot light sensor. Tee off that to install an additional gauge sensor.

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    You don't need to be a welder. There are threaded bungs available which have a nut and a washer on both sides. All you have to do is drill a hole in the pan and tighten the nut on both sides. Easy peasy.

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    I am confused. Why are you wanting to measure your oil temperature when oil pressure is more important? The very first gauges to be considered are oil pressure and water temperature. These are of paramount importance for monitoring normal engine functions. After oil pressure and water...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    That plug above the oil filter is a 3/8" NPT. In my opinion, that is not an ideal place to install an oil temperature sensor, because there is no oil flow there. The best place to measure the temperature of the oil in in the oil pan. To install a temperature probe in the pan, you would need...

    Coolant and Oil Temp Sensor

    The sensor with the 2 wires is the glow plug controller sensor. The big thing over behind the head is the oil pressure idiot lite switch. Leave the glow plug switch alone, it is required to operate the controller card correctly. You could install a temperature gauge sensor directly across in...

    Leaky Front Transfer Case Seal? Maybe Not!

    The way the OEM yoke flange is designed and because of its releationship to the transfer case, there's not a good way to thoroughly clean the tight space where the seal meets the yoke shaft. When you think about it, the front transfer case yoke is always facing forward, so it is always getting...

    Leaky Front Transfer Case Seal? Maybe Not!

    For those of you following my rebuild thread, you may know that I have recently purchased a completely rebuilt NP241c transfer case from Mark Bendler at Kodiak Truck in Wisconsin. Since my P400 engine and Bowtie 700R4 transmission are still on the cradle, I decided to go ahead and mount the...

    Sway Bar Extensions

    Off Road Design offers a kit for that. Not trying to tell you what to do, but I removed my sway bar and threw it in the dumpster.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Hey Cruz - did you speak with Chris Gardner at Bowtie regarding the manual lock-up switch? I believe those long inclines pulling your heavy load in 3rd gear (unlocked) is probably your overheating issue. Just my 2 cents.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Marcus that’s a good idea to flush those lines and cooler. Do you know if there is a procedure in the TMs for how to flush?

    TM Location for List of Fusible Links

    I want to assemble a fuse repair kit to keep in the truck with spare fusible links. Does anybody know the location in the TMs of a list of the fusible links and their size? Yes I have searched until my eyes are crossed (or more crossed than they were). Thanks in advance for replies.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    OK I got the new JB Fabrications cable shifter temporarily installed to make sure everything worked the way I wanted it to. I fabricated a temporary wooden platform and attached it to the NP241 so that the shifter handle is positioned in the approximate location that it will be after the P400...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    That is going to be nice. Good design. I am doing something similar but different - if that makes sense. I have designed and fabricated a dash-mounted gauge cluster pod which will mount under the dash pad between the radio delete plate and dash door. This will completely cover the ashtray...
