    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    I towed the M715 behind the Cowdog to the Rally last weekend. Here is part 1 and 2 of a video I made during the drive showing the Compushift display, boost gauge, EGT gauge and water/meth controller: I couldn’t get it in the video. But, my coolant temps would rise to 215°-217°. Then my...

    Turbo Intake Manifold Leak - Causes?

    I typed before thinking. Thanks for the correction on the temps. I was thinking exhaust side. OOPS.

    Turbo Intake Manifold Leak - Causes?

    I don't know the output size of the turbo. I do know the cross over manifold part has an inside diameter of 2.87 inches. That is such an odd size for a pipe. The single O-ring is very, very thick. I would imagine the turbo output is no more than 2.5 inches. Since the air leaving the turbo...

    2022 TX MV Rally

    I have another 40 minutes of convoy driving I could post but it is just me driving behind the M725 so I left them alone.

    Here is the M715 cam from getting going again from the M113 stopping to the M113 getting under its own power again after an impromptu pull start.

    Steering Column Wiring Harness

    I thought everything on the column only fit where it was intended to go? The one with the most wires, all 14 gauge or so is the blinkers. The one with the really thick wires is the ignition switch. The flat one smaller than the flat blinker one is the wipers. The 3 wires in a triangle is...

    2022 TX MV Rally

    I don't know what kind of speed my Cowdog can run towing the M715 tomorrow so I plan to leave home around 1530. That way I can creep along at 45 where I know all will be well if needed and still get there at a reasonable hour. I'm hoping for cruise set at 62 mph. Anyone going faster on 21...

    M35A2 Heater Options

    The fuel fired heater will give you lots of heat NOW. The coolant filter works good once the engine is warmed up but that could take close to an hour or more at just idle.

    Headlight issue

    Check the ground bolt on both headlight plugs. I have had weird light issues because of those bolts in the past.

    2022 TX MV Rally

    We are on our own for food at the Ranch. Pistolnut entertained us for years when he would drive the EM-50 to the event with its huge windows. It was like watching a cooking show on tv. The rest of us just made do with camp cook stoves on tailgates and such. 5-10 minute drive in a normal...

    2022 TX MV Rally

    I guess I worded my response about the aviation intercom wrong. I have the adaptors to let my iphone talk through the intercom, listen to music and all of that. I use that when flying and love it. However, nobody else I have been in driving formation ever has that set up so that is why voice...

    Hard Start Issue

    The return line leak is just a leak. It is not THE LEAK you are looking for. The return line doesn't effect fuel going to the IP. Are you sure it is the return line leaking on the passenger front side of the engine or is it the metal fuel supply line from the pump to the filter located in the...

    2022 TX MV Rally

    We don’t really need communication protocols for the Saturday morning convoy. The deputies will talk to us at the ranch and then we will drive straight to Mullins with them blocking the intersections so we can just roll along at speed. Getting there Friday and going home Sunday is whatever you...

    Hard Start Issue

    Did you have dirty white smoke coming out the pipes when you were cranking? Or dirty white smoke once it started? That means fuel and no heat. No dirty white smoke means no fuel in the IP. It reads like the IP was dry and you had to prime it. It normally takes around 2-3 minutes of cranking...

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    I think they had a few bad batches. 3 of my trucks have 10 year old 60G’s in them and work perfect. I’m on my 3rd set now in 5 years with the Cowdog.
