    Help diagnosing failure to crank or stay running

    Need help guys. My 1043 stalled out while sitting at a red light yesterday. I got it to crank back after trying for a few minutes. Today I got it to crank in a garage and it stayed running for about 30 seconds and did the same thing. Fuel is at 1/2 tank. So I went looking for electrical...

    Gray carc?

    Is there a gray carc? I think I’ve talked myself out of 383 green, and want a dark battleship gray. What is a paint line I can use that will spray over the carc after sanding and prep? I tried to post this question earlier and it didn’t post.

    Made an over head console

    I couldn’t find a console I liked so I fab something up in the shop and 3D printed a few switch plates. It need a lot of finish work but the overall layout is compact while allowing enough room for wiring, and some cabin lights. My next step is to fab up a bracket to hold my rear view camera.

    lost my nut, lol

    I'm hoping someone on here might answer my question of the day. Does anyone have a size on the 10" bolt for the alternator bracket? Unfortunately, mine decided to disappear during an outing tonight which caused it to drop the 1/8 inch into my fuel line and cut it in half. On the positive...

    Light switch repair

    I’m one that likes to see if it can be repaired before I jump on buying new. Someone messing around with my switch didn’t know to unlock first. Now the light switch does not engage. Has anyone ever repaired theirs? Or just spend the $75 and order from fleabay.

    Starter options?

    This will also be my weekly update. Thank you all for the support. I was able to get the fuel tank and lines all back in place. But it looks like Murphy's law is still around for a little longer. I cracked the screw on the filter to get ready to bleed and got a "clunk" after 5-6 tries I was...

    Removing fuel tank; what am I doing wrong?

    I am at not sure what I am doing wrong or missed. I followed the guidance from here on dropping the fuel tank to clean. I can't get it to drop free, it's like I have missed a bracket it's so tight. It will drop about three inches on forward, the rear will not budge. So far I have: -removed...

    Going price for Red Dot

    I have a Red Dot universal that was/is mounted in my HMMWV. Used and in good shape are they worth try ing to sell or trade? I'm more concerned about getting it running and fixing the main components than AC.

    New member and owner with questions to get 1043A2 started

    that being said if I happen to ask a repetitive question I want to apologize early. My goal is to jump in to this feet first and get it running again, then start playing around with many of the tweaks and upgrades you guys have been trying. My starting questions/problems are: 1.) There is...
