    injection pump timing

    Timing changes on these are measured in thousandths! I advanced mine the width of the line and that was more than enough. Rick

    MEP-002A/M116A2 Recovery

    You will find that Xylene is fantastic for cutting gunk in the fuel system. Xylene, parts cleaning brush, nitrile gloves and a pan of some sort and start scrubbing. Rick P.S. Do the cleaning outside, Xylene is very flammable and not at all good to breath.

    This is true, I ran them on my boat for years before I went to the blower.

    1986 M1028, 454 Gasser......?

    My bad, Is it the 366 or 427? I used to get the spacers for 427 TD from Offy. I don't know if they are still in business but I might have my old Machinist books that give part numbers for the spacers. I will look around but I am n the middle of a renovation so stuff is boxed and scattered. Rick

    A Tunnel ram can be one four, two fours, three twos. Any combination on a tunnel ram manifold. This is actually not a tunnel ram per say, It is a single plane high rise but it is the same basic idea. The Dart engineer is being VERY optimistic! A lot depends on the cam. You are going to need a...

    The M1031 with 5" lift, 12-bolt H1's and no spacers build!

    All true, And if you use the same u-joints you had befoe the lift and they have any real miles you can also pick up a vibration. I would suggest that IF you are using the original u-joints and you get a vibration to put in new joints before anything else. Rick

    Battery charger warning

    I bought a top of the line 12 volt Schumacher and it has never worked right. Sometimes it charges, sometimes it goes into desulfate mode and then shuts down indicating a bad battery. Put my OLD Shumacher on the same battery and it charges fine and load tests fine. When it does charge normally...

    The jeep running water

    One of our members on the g838.org site does business over there and hooks up with these guys every time he goes over. They definitely like to party. They have quite a few 151's and they keep them in good shape. Rick

    If it still has the 4:56 gears and locker that thing is a beast. That was the hot setup years ago when they first started surplussing them out. Big block, big tires and hold my beer and watch this attitude.:roll: Rick

    BOLO missing truck

    Good luck, I got screwed just like Spicergear. You are doing the right thing though. One thing I would do, you say you got him his job? How is he getting there? Find out what he is driving and I can tell you how to "disable" it. No damage, just something he will not find and he will need...

    BOLO missing truck

    First thing I did when I got my CUCV was change the locks for that very reason! Rick

    The M1031 with 5" lift, 12-bolt H1's and no spacers build!

    I am glad to see this pointed out since SO many people get it wrong. Another problem I see a lot is u-joint phasing. Rick

    IP Shim Kits MEP-003

    I didn't know Delks had anything under 50.00! And if you get the guy I got on the phone you can hear one call the price out, 50.00, and then the guy on the phone tells you 75.00! Think he is padding his pockets?:x Rick

    Interesting Recovery

    Were you referring to me or Sgt. McIntire? I was on a lot of major roads but no way was I getting onto the secondaries! I knew what was waiting there. Rick

    No crank condition

    Sounds like the starter relay is bad. Look up the "Doghead starter mod". It covers everything you will need. Here it is. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/32943-doghead-starter-relay-modifcation.html

    Disc breaks anyone?

    Steve, Amazing work. I was designing disc brakes for 4X4 trucks back in 78. Got all kinds of flak from the government agencies telling me disc brakes were not safe for use on the rear of heavy vehicles. Amazing that a few years later Ford started using them on and boy did those brackets look a...
