    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.

    Does anyone know or have experienced with a bushing kit for a m1009?

    What bushings? Besides what was already posted. I would suggest Off Road Design for suspension bushings. They have “kits.”

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    My son Colton is living his life 60 miles away with a job in a town 75 miles from there. We don’t get to see each other much and maybe talk every other week or so on the phone. Trying to keep him up to date on things I am doing is difficult. He suggested I just start doing videos of what I am...

    The Technical Manuals also list it out step by step.

    2022 TX MV Rally

    Looks like fun. I camped in the Cowdog and M715 last weekend with my Trail Life Troop. Taught 22 little ones how to drive a manual. I am ready for next Friday.

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Soapy water would probably work just fine. The stuff I have is called Big Blu micro leak detector for air conditioning. I was expecting at most a few small leaks. Not the massive things I had. I pulled the CUCV 6.2 intake that night after I took the video. Then installed a 3 piece 6.5 center...

    Alternative Fuel For M998

    The last time fuel was this expensive this topic was very hot. Multi fuel trucks are fine with it. Mine loves used ATF. However, the DB-2 injection pump is not made for the thicker/more viscosity waste motor oil. There was a super long and boring report done by the DOD after the Desert...

    2022 TX MV Rally

    Repurposed vehicles of all types have been to the Rally in the past. There is a Rally swap meet thread already going so you won't have to lug stuff around that might not sell.

    Short Air Pack- 3 Leak Questions

    I think you are on the right track with the corrosion. How pliable where your "new" cups you put in? If they were a bit dry and crusty that could also be an issue.

    Dashboard Problems

    Very carefully pry the little contacts on the plastic bulb holder out just a hair.

    Dashboard Problems

    There is a single ground path for the entire gauge cluster. All the rest are positive paths. If you are putting power to a circuit and the light isn't lighting. Verify voltage at the light contact and reverse the light bulb and try again.

    Did GEP 6.5 engines use gaskets for timing cover?

    Right Stuff in the aerosol can makes putting it together a breeze.
