    M10009 Blower Motor Resister

    If you stand with your left hand on the blower moter, follow the wire that feeds the motor and you will end up at the resistor. Or, just extend your fingers and you will hit it. Pull it out and look at it. You will see sets of curly cue wires going from one side to the other side of the...

    Towing an M101A with a Cover

    Carpet on the floor makes 101, 105, M715 or M35 camping much more enjoyable in my experience. Especially on cold mornings. I got an 8' x 8' piece of carpet from Home Depot. They call it indor/outdoor carpet for tents. I call it Astroturf. Fits great in a M35 and has to be folded some for...

    how can I get 24 volts to power a lamp socket?

    Does it have to be on the dash? You already have 24V buss bars on the passenger side behind the door for the radio. Tie in right there since there are 4 or 5 spare lugs ready for wires.

    How well build are these CUCV's.

    Find your local Stanadyne dealer. He will be the guy to rebuild the IP. $450-$600 was the prices I found for a complete rebuild within 150 miles of me.

    Back where it started.....

    Pretty neat, thanks for posting.

    Towing an M101A with a Cover

    As mentioned above. The top is like a drag chute when it comes to top speed and mpg's. If that doesn't bother you, go for it.

    Cross country time!

    You flat towed a car the entire trip? Cool. What kind of performance and mpg's did you get. I am still trying to figure out where the drop off is on these 6.2's. I know empty, below 60 and flat equals great performance and 20 plus mpgs. Push it over 65 and 16-17 mpg's are reality. I...

    another injection pump question

    You sure it was filled up with diesel last time? Back to the basics. Proper fuel, fuel to the lift pump, pressurized fuel to the IP and fuel back to the tank.

    4th Semi-Annual Texas MV Rally

    I have been checking. That is a pretty hefty price tag for a weekend of camping.

    Texas Former Military plates

    But, do they require mirrors?

    Lighting while towing.....

    Another trick is to go from trailer plug to trailer plug. Unscrew the rear vehicle blinker arm at the steering wheel and all the lights on the rear truck will do what you turn the front lights to. I set the rear 3 lever to "park" so I don't have tail lights in my mirror. I only do the above...

    How well build are these CUCV's.

    I have gotten 3 of this series vehicle on the road in the past year. Figure on brake shoes, brake pads, wheel cylinders, calipers, all brake hoses, maybe a master cylinder, packing all the bearings, tie rod ends, ball joints, u joints, changing all the fluids, changing all the belts, changing...

    Nice score on the transfer pump too.

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Lots. I should have proof read my other post more. Sorry about all the wrong words. I guess I am not as good at typing one thing and talking to a student about something else as I thought I was.

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    You have a "rats next in a box" coming to you via the USPS. The post office lady said "you really want to mail all those dirty wires and stuff to somebody? Do they know what they are getting?" I had to ask for a box and pack it there is why she all the stuff. I assured her the person getting...

    K&N air filter on 6.2

    There are a lot of threads where people mention putting a K&N in their CUCV. Most also claim a mpg increase. My question is this. Do you leave the foam "pre filter" with the K&N or just go only K&N? It seems to defeat the purpose of a better flowing element to just put the restrictive...

    M1009 Driving Crooked

    Measure from front to rear tire on each side and see how much difference there really is. Did the alignment shop have a Hunter camera aligner? That machine will print out how much the axle is pointing in which direction. I would get that before you go trying to bend the frame.

    Bad alternator, or is it?

    Napolion, where you runing your a/c this entire time the light was glowing? Don't forget that the heater fan gets its power from the fuse that excites the #1 alternator. That light will light up partially if the headlights are on and the heater fan is on high. I suggest taking the alternator...

    Fan clutch not there.

    Those flex fans have been known to throw a blade. Hopefully, you won't be standing over the running engine to catch the blade in your chest or neck. The "proper" set up is a clutch, fan and a fan shroud. All parts found new or used very easily.
