So Joe, did you chase them down and add that suburban to your collection? As mentioned, it wasn't me. I did however pass at my warp speed of 62 mph for the 400+ mile drive home a big bumper pull camper. It was behind a Ranger pick up and the hitch/bumper was just off the ground. I passed...

There is a gasket between the pump mount flange and the front of the block. It could be holding the pump from turning. Did some kind of adhesive get applied maybe? There also is the 8 metal fuel lines screwed into the front of the pump to consider. It is hard to turn it just a bit.

Funny you should post this today. I drove by BVORR yesterday and started talking to Jennifer about how nothing has been decided for the fall Rally. Thanks for bringing this thread back up because I got busy and forgot about it already this morning.

I would second the 287/I-45 route suggestion. Mainly because that is where the big trucks normally run, truck stops are there with 24 fuel and food. However, if you are getting to Abilene. Sermis is in Temple and I am in Giddings. Kind of a stair step down to Houston.

Yes, you can do it. However, as pointed out in several post above. It would be better to use the front battery. Being someone who used to mess with positive ground British cars. I can tell you having something in the vehicle "floating" seperate from the vehicle is just a short waiting to happen...

To stop it from pumping the water, pull the plastic cover off the motor. It just has that little umbrella shaped pin holding it on. Pull a little and it will pop off. The top part under the cover is the washer. There is a metal piece that rides on a cam like plastic gear. Pull that metal...

There is a tool that takes the window crank off in about 5 seconds. No vice grips needed. If you are going to be working on the doors much, get the $5.00 tool. Is your new lock keyed with the CUCV key?

I agree with the front end service needs. Something else to keep in mind is that the 1008 has a locker in the rear. The lower your rear tire pressure, the more throttle steer you get from the locker. My M715 with low tires will change lanes on me if I have it in the right gear with low rear...

Welcome to the multiple Duece owners group Glen. Between them and the CUCV's, you should now look down your nose at anybody who buys oil in containers smaller than 5 gallon buckets. The Whistler in theory should accelerate faster than the D because of the smaller, not by much, turbo. While...

I was real curious about how those trucks looked too.

Brake fluid on the firewall means master cylinder. Power steering on the firewall means hydroboost. Read the -20 before you bleed the brakes.

All the military trailers used the same plug and wire numbers. There is a Bryan M35 owner, CS M35 owner, Caldwell M35/M715 owner, Waco M715 owner, Temple M35/M725 owner, Kingwood M1009 owner, Huge number of Houston and Austin area MV owners and a bunch in the Eastern woods too.

Try having someone saw back and forth on the steering wheel while you lay under neath and look/feel/listen for slop. Check your tire psi as well. Steering box bolts too.

Check all the other stuff, but you are both probably going to be doing IP swaps to fix the problems. They are 26 plus years old by now. Things do wear out.

Does this mean you don't want the military plug/cable for the front of the trailer? I can come by Monday afternoon and pick it up. Seriously, welcome to the site. There are a half dozen or so Aggies here. I am '90. There are also about 20 people who are addicted to these silly green machines...

What happens when you are going down the road at say 70MPH and you let off the throttle? When you get back in, does it do nothing for a few seconds and then give full power again? A just changed out the IP on a M1010 for a fellow SS'er who had a truck doing exactly as I described. Problems...

Check your torque converter bolts and flywheel bolts too! They sometimes only make noise when under a load at low speeds.

Same here. The three th400's I have pulled the pan on in the last year all took 2 gallons or a hair less to fill back up.

That article is part of the CD MVM is selling for $25 or so. Not trying to advertise for them, but that CD is well worth the money in my opinion.

If you want it to drive like a modern vehicle, buy a modern vehicle, swap in the running gear from a modern vehicle or just live with what you have. The 6.2 does not like to rev. So, tall gears were used to make the 1009 go highway speeds. That was 55 mph then. That is also why the truck...
