It coming with a new head gasket makes suspicious. You could have a bent crank or a bent rod, or a camshaft issue. Have you had the head off?

When is the last time you hosed out the transmission oil cooler fins? Ran the hose through mine today. Could not believe the amount of fine dirt / silt that I flushed out. Take 5 to 10 minutes and run water through yours to make sure it doesn’t clog and cause that expensive tranny to fail.

Pressure washed her. Spent a couple of hours trying to get in every nook & cranny but that wasn’t possible. Still, she’s clean. Used some degreaser on the diffs, driveshafts, and other places that oil & grease accumulate. Bought oil and will change out the engine oil & filter in the next few...

Geez, don’t strip anything off of either one until you’ve exhausted a search for the parts you need. I’ll bet there’s people all over Germany and Europe who can hook you up. Shoot, but a 3rd and use that to make one for you & one for your son….

Pretty slick.

Warrior Wagon has been in the road 2X since becoming legal. Top speed with those knobby tires was 57 - 59 MPH. Frankly, that’s fast enough for a vehicle like that. She steers nice and drives like a bus - with a slight bounce and a bit of road noise.

Thanks for the clarification!

Took the Warrior Wagon out for an ice cream run yesterday. My wife drove. She enjoyed it! Meant to post an update on the operating temp in the post about getting it registration & inspected. Temp gauge works and the heater is hotter than a Detroit pistol. Apparently this rascally wabbit...

FYI: Back in my day output of 28.6 is fine. Anything up to 29 was ‘OK’. The gauge / indicates on the dash is pretty good but they aren’t super accurate and as far as I know they aren’t calibrated.

Inspected! Wouldn’t you know it; climb in the cab to roll down the window & I get 2 turns then the handle spins freely. Guess I’ll need to peek inside the door to see what going on.

1) Does this have a mechanical or electric fuel pump? What’s the fuel pressure at the carb? Could be way too much fuel pressure. 2) What is the model carb? I’ll see if I can find anything on it. 3) What is the float made of; brass or that synthetic material? The float could be bad or the...

I’ll take a stab at this. Maybe I don’t understand the questions but here it is anyway. First, in my State, you may not modify a vehicle unless you & the modifications meet certain criteria. That aside; if you Remove the rear axle you are changing a number of characteristic to include center...

Getting the M1083A1 inspected this month at 1000. I’ve only had pickups and cars inspected before so I’m not sure what to expect. I’m curious to see what sort of reaction this small town hay-shaker inspector will have. Lol

That’s always the tricky part; putting other things on after painting and not scratching, gouging, or chipping the paint.

Got it registered but not without issues. First; DMV required that both my wife and my name be on the insurance ID cards. Called Progressive - they wanted to send them to me in the mail. I explained that I was at DMV and they’ve got most of my vehicle info already in the system. Was on...

Funny you should say that. The metal ID plate on the vehicle has a “B-Txxxxxx” as does one other document. The titling paperwork does not accept - (dashes) so it was titled / registered w/out that dash.

In a call to USAA a couple of months ago I inquired about insurance for my truck. The USAA Rep said they don’t insure military vehicles and gave me no options. Received the SF97 yesterday so I started back down the insurance trail. Called USAA (just for giggles) expecting the same response. To...

That’s cool!

Thank you to whoever gives members awards & trophies. If I could figure it out I would thank you in person.
