Winch arrival in t-minus 2 days!!!!
Karl, I cleaned up the tarp just waiting on the bow corners to arrive, thanks smittyjr355! In the mean time of waiting for the winch and bow corners Im going to go get the wood cross members.... anybody help a guy out with those measurements.
Okay stupid me, the transfer pump is your fuel pump, driven by your cam shaft, to test it you have to undo the hose going to the water separator and crank for 30 sec. with the fuel shut off pulled. and you should have ATLEAST 150ml of fuel if it is less than that you have to replace you pump, or...
Has anybody added a fuel booster pump to their a2? I know the 250's are relatively easy starters in winter but at 60* my truck is having a heck of a time starting. I cant help but think if their was a pump to build fuel pressure it would help enormously especially starting deuces with and...
Whelp, my addiction couldn't have been eased this past week, so I did lots work on the truck, Changed fuel filters, replaced fuel line fittings that the military generously stripped out for me! And last but not least worked on disabling my CTIS.
Fabbing up caps for the front axle, Pics soon...
Have you ever answered 2 questions while looking at one problem, well I'm special today I got 3 questions answered!
1. Why did my CTIS stop working?
2. Why were my tires unbalanced, seeing as the rears don't need counter weights?
3. What did the military do with my front wheel counter weight?
Truck si being turned into an A1, CTIS got the 5 stars of death, and I promised myself the first hiccup that I would disable it. Yesterday I unplugged the controller and to day am taking of a front and rear valve to fab up plugs. Pictures to come!
Thanks guys, I love looking at her all clean, but comments like these are what really makes me feel like I've done a job well done, and keep me going to making her complete and prety!
Got the cargo cover today!!! Big shout out Karl Kostman, you weren't lying when you said its really "fun" to fold it back up by yourself, I almost got it as good as you though, haha.
Asides from dust "preservative" she looks brand new!
Step 2: get bows!
You know what Karl so do I, how does Thurs. the 19th sound for a reschedule pick up? I'm debating on getting some metal ones from Glen or fabbing my own bows!
In the mean time I have to figure out how to get my front right drive tire fixed, and my spare rim doesn't look to promising either!
Im going to swap tires tomorrow and looking for torque measurement on tires I came across something interesting, maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I wonder how the studs even have any thread left if a person changed tires pre military orders...
Brown is DONE!!! Now stencil and touch up! It feels weird saying touch up when in regards of an army truck!
Also, Thanks for the info on the bow corners!
So Im trying to fab up some bows for this girl and had a quick question, Are the corner pieces for the m105 trailer the same for the m923, if so I'll copy those and just get wood pieces!
Also, Brown paint is on today before the storm. Pics to come tonight!
I'm spraying it with a cheapo air gun from harbor freight. I initially thought over-spray would make it look like garbage, but in fact it when up close it has a soft transfer of colors in a about 3 in. where a paint brish or roller would give you sharp crisp lines.
Edit: Though I should add I...
