Secondary fuel system is the pizza you stuffed your buddy with to make him push it when you ran out of fuel :-( Sorry, no multi fuel in the cucv unless your making/buying biodiesel.

Oh, forgot to say that if its REALLLLLYYYY smoking bad you oughta check your fuel filters and air cleaner element. been there, done that, got a lot of t-shirts!

Thats my girl! I started my military career as an airborne grunt so I read alot of these things back in the day. Then I got smart and moved over to the Navy. Long story, another day. Too bad Connie is not PC anymore :-( Cheers!

I just put 20 gals of unleaded in mine because it was all I could get. Ran a little off power. Added diesel as soon as I could. You could feel the engine sigh in relief when it started burning oil again. Take a look at Idaho surplus truck site (dont remember the exact url but cant be hard to...

Thanks! Out of curiousity, if the beadlocks are not in the packaging, can you mount the rims/tires without them? I would rather have them of course, but if it means waiting weeks and weeks to get them... Cheers!

I use my cucv blazer for shunting the m105 and 101 trailers about. Especially since Soldier B (okay, Sailor B in my case, I'm a navy chief) is only 11 years old and not to be completely trusted in time/distance/speed judgements!

Balance Rims from daniel at usa6x6 arrived today! The guys at the air force post office were less than amused by how heavy it all was ;-) I still have to unrwrap everything to make sure its all there as I don't see the beadlocks right off. Unfortunatly, I have to go to Stuttgart tomorrow night...

WHen I did the rear axle, I left it connected to the drive shaft and bolted the springs in place so I would not have to modify the driveline. I mis-measured a little bit. I thought the bed would line right up leaving about the 10" you are looking at. In reality, the bed is a bit long for that. I...

Thanks! Yep, you can get all the cooked veggie oil you can haul off since the chip shops have to pay to dispose of it. Since were talking about fuel tanks, you may have noticed that I have a second tank where the spare used to be. I got it for free because it has two small pinholes in the...

I'd like to know more about the "big balls" theory (golf balls, please!). Can someone clue me in... Cheers,

Bjorn, I noticed in your pics that you have some sort of board in front of the radiator. Is that in lieu of a bra? It gets what we like to call "ass cold" over here and need some way to keep it warm. Any details would be appriciated. On the veggie note, some folks use cooked veggie oil here with...

Thanks guys, it turns out that they are 2" on the money. A little tough to find here in the land of blimey but located a couple at a tractor shop. I like the idea of hte core plug heater fix it. Might be just the ticket if you found yourself on the side of the road bleeding h2o. I wonder if the...

brilliant minds must think a like, our too! I just asked the same question in my bobjob update. I'm curious to know as well. cheers!

I'm open to any ideas. I have no clue how to balance them (and nor will the blokes doing the tires!). On another note, the truck overheated a bit when it threw the fan belts. Seem to run fine when I replaced the belts and drove it to work. Drove to the hockey rink tonight and on the way home it...

I ordered them in mid august and he mailed them to me around the second week of Sep by bulk mail. That means with any luck they should be here any day now. I've got a local shop who will mount the rims and tires for cash. Poor suckers have no idea what they are in for! I'm planning on driving...

Oh, yeah, and as soon as I find a ratty old stuffed rabbit plushy toy, its getting zip tied to the grill between the teeth! (which the wife hates, threatens to paint eyelashes around the headlights!!!) c-

Here are the pics. The ride is great (for a duece!). The springs much softer than the twin axle truck. I'm keeping one of the xml's om the back just to keep a little weight in it at the moment. Right now its still on the 900x16's until the rims arrive for hte xml's. I've been driving it to work...

That is the best explanation I've seen after much searching. Thank you very much indeed! I've had lots of questions as the viability of biodesiel and now I have a better understanding. So, here in the land of fish and chips, free used chip fat wont do me much good I see :-( Oh well. Out of...

I'm looking for a primer on the multi fuel. Could somebody explain exactly how the FDC, etc. work? I did a bone head thing; trusted the fuel gauge. The truck stopped abruptly with a 1/4 tank showing. Open the lid and viola!, about 1/2 inch in the bottom of the can. No diesel on the base so I put...

what I'm looking for is a civilian part number for the alt/fan belts on my mulit fuel m35. On the humvee.net site there is a parts cross reference so you can find parts off the shelf at the local store instead of having to whip out the "H" word and watch the $$$ signs go up geometriclly. A...
