At least those head studs have paid for themselves now. How many sets of head bolts have you not had to buy? If it holds 15 psi for more than 20 minutes or so, you are good. Overnight means you have one heck of a tight test pump and hose set up.

You could pull the brake drums off to make them lighter. Otherwise, some kind of stool to sit on so your legs can kind of catch the hub as it comes off...

The -20 manual has a wonderful 76 page long troubleshooting section. Then another trouble shooting section on just electrical stuff. The opening page of that section states in very clear terms to make sure you have two batteries that are fully charged and have been load tested before doing any...

It might have just had some surface corrosion on the crank as well. My M35 Gasser didn’t leak a drop of anything around town and on 30 mile test drives. I drive it to Houston one super hot August day and see something shiny in the mirror on the passenger side bed about 60 miles later. Transfer...

Pull the fill plug on the transmission to see if oil gushes out at you. It could have some water ingested in that raised the level some. Also, check your engine oil level to verify a few things. One, that you still have some and how much you have lost. Oil psi will be the same no matter how...

Glad it is going back together again. We missed you last weekend.

Did the oil psi stay good all the way?

14 vehicles in the convoy this morning. Biggest ever for us. I made it home and got all unpacked. Nice seeing everyone again and meeting the new ones too! Thanks, Tim

We are all at the museum. I have the gate key and should be there around 1300. 979-540-8478 Here is the group leaving https://youtu.be/f79C2Q5_nrg

That was the most informative post yet. So, 35 is not your maximum speed. It is how slow the truck gets on a specific stretch of road. Which is totally different than what you started this thread with. Ok, there is a point when you are pushing the throttle pedal and nothing happens. When...

Also, Trailboss. You still want those 6.2 rings? I forgot them last year and have a note on the M715 steering wheel to dig them out tonight and load them up.

The weather keeps predicting rain, no rain, rain, no rain, etc.... So, I put the CUCV M1008 cargo cover on the M715 last night. I haven't had it on the truck in years and it appears to have shrunk. I know it went down to the bed rails in 2012. But, I don't think I have used it since. So...

It is like there are two different threads going on at the same time here. One part of the thread has a totally stock M1009 with 85,000 miles, 4 radios and can't go over 35 mph. If everything is stock as in tires, axles with the 3.08:1 ratio and transmission. 35 mph at sea level when holding...

Going to miss visiting with you Mark. I can’t make the meeting tomorrow night at Mabry either. I put the hard hard top on the M715 today and put in the cargo bows. I will leave the cover off until I get there. Driving with the cover on is like adding a barn door or three and really slows me...

The rain is still in the forecast. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If it is still there tomorrow. I am going to put the hard top back on the M715 and probably the cargo cover on as well. Probably still tent camp, but at least I will have a dry place to cook my food.

Dang Carnac. You are dangerous to my wallet when you decide to show up at these things. I’ll stick to the metric sockets I already wrote you about and have to look through the rest on site. Two different events and selling go on this weekend. There is the stuff among us at the Rally. This...

The white smoke means glow plugs. Check everything again.

You want civilian Chevy or just anything? CUCV trucks didn’t come with a hose from the air filter to the valence. Only some civilian trucks did. If you move your front battery a bit and look at the valence, you will see the cutout for the hose attachment. you need that piece, the plastic molded...

It helps to have some kind of structure underneath to put a bow into the top. This really helps going down the road and anytime it is sitting with rain or snow going on. A little time with a heat gun and some 3/4 inch PVC makes this a super cheap and simple thing to make.

Well, since you want payment in Wampum.... Nope, I don't have any Wampum laying around extra either.
