Today I got a package on my door step with a complete Air Filter set from Scott at Expedition Imports! Will be putting that in this week or weekend. Can anyone tell me the size of the screws needed for mounting it to the air intake vent on the right side of the engine compartment? Any tips or...

Hey Swiss, I have since printed out your post and stuck it on my wall and have setup my agenda to do just this. Many other folks I talk to around town who are interested in the only Unimog in town all asked the exact same list of priorities you said and almost in the same order! I realized...

Yep. I'm finding a lot of information on this and other forums. That'd be a great idea, but that's called a Wiki isn't it? :mrgreen:

That's great to (hear) I mean read! I'm almost there (I think). In the workshop manual I spied a page for checking the truck after it's been "layed up" for a while. Page 00-1 - Checking and Adjusting Engine, 12 Steps to making sure things are running fine. Going through that list as best as I...

I do not wish to offend anyone as I am an admin for a very large forum myself, I should have known better. This is forum is running on phpBB or vBulletin or something similar is it not? Where is the option to delete my own post? I can't find it so please move the topic to the Classifieds thread...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, there are 3 FLU419's (that are salvage parts only) that are up for auction near me in Pineville, LA at the beginning of May. They look like Godzilla chewed on them and spit them out. I guess if you needed parts, these might be for you. The three...

You're totally right, I did not see that... and the reason I missed (believe it or not) it is I didn't know what I was looking for, now I do! When you mentioned it in your last post I went and studied up on the Pertronix system, installation, etc on the Exp-Imp site, watched the videos and read...

That was it! I took the dog house off and immediately saw that the Throttle wire was not tight against the throttle lever. Had to adjust tension on Throttle wire screw and that was it! I was on the phone with Michael from Army Surplus in Upstate NY about something unrelated and upon mentioning...

The saga continues.... Insurance State Farm told me they needed to insure my Mog as a commercial vehicle at $240 a mo. Louisiana is an at fault state (Napoleonic Code, no precedent here) so everything is double! They told me if I had not been a customer for 15 years they would not have been...

You have all been very patient and gracious with me. Thank you for all the great info. I noticed many folks on here have been working on cars since they were a kid, not me. My son is 8 and I want him to grow up knowing how to work on his own cars / trucks so he'll be helping me with some of...

This Topic is TL - DR material. Please read if you're able to assist with a new Mog owner who is probably in over his head. ;-) This is all still new to me so please go easy on me. As I am not a formally trained mechanic, I need to dive in deep here. I just ordered a bunch of spare parts from...

Here are some pictures from that very crazy morning. While my house was eventually spared as was my friends, about 80% of my neighborhood flooded. The neighboring parish lost 80% of it's homes and businesses. As I'm sure many folks on this forum have been in disasters or have helped. This is one...

The beautiful thing about living in Louisiana is there are no hills. The bad thing about living in Louisiana are there are no hills. ;-) Thank you for being so supportive. I already got the Mog on Thursday, United States of Freight did an amazing job. Clicked the link in this forum at 12...

Hi, I've been reading this forum and several others for a while now. I've learned so much from reading all of your posts. I've got a notebook full of notes. My mother was from Hanover Germany and since I was 5 having seen my first Unimog back in 1976, I've wanted one. Nowadays I live in...
