    acetylene shortage ?

    On a side note - Many places produce propane. I know of several just in our area. It is removed (stripped) from natural gas. In PA there is a natural gas boom. I have also used oxy/natural gas for heating and cutting- It also works good but is not very portable.

    acetylene shortage ?

    I would check with the manufacturer on your regulator or your gas supply store. I was able to just use my regulator. If in doubt you could just buy an inexpensive new fuel gas regulator and save your good one. As I said before get new hoses for use with propane, and the proper tip for your...

    acetylene shortage ?

    I'm also in the propane group. Just cutting and heating for me I don't weld with it. Propane is more stable as a gas and easier to get. Different hose and a different tip that's all I needed. Works good.

    Tire belts going bad

    I would get rid of those old coopers as soon as possible. I have had the entire cap come off one on my truck. Tire looked great but was older than 5 yrs. It was not a recap. The whole tread just came off. Tire didn't deflate so I limped it about a mile until I could get a safe place to...

    Ft Meade

    Good times with GL I know this is an old post, but I think you owe me a few bucks - LOL. Usually the smile was from either my crazy plan on what I intended to use something for. How I wanted to load something, or what I paid for something. The Ft Meade crew has always been good to me in...

    ok...here we go...

    It also sounds to me like air in the fuel system problem. Do you have a way you can park the truck with the nose down ? (Back the vehicle up a hill and let it sit overnight.) This is one trick I have used to figure out if it is fuel or not. If the tank is higher than normal the fuel is...

    CUCV's bigger brother

    91 v 30 I still have it. I almost passed on it because of the A/C thing, but the 4L80e/NP205 thing won out. I have a 90' Suburban that the body is falling off that has AC. I hope to swap it out soon.

    CUCV's bigger brother

    They also are non EGR like the CUCV. My (2) 90s and my 91 have the newer style intake manifolds with the simplified CDR piping.

    I went junkyard diving yesterday in the M1009 and found some Jeeps!

    Salvage yards I know exactly what you mean. When I go and look I always think that was someone's new car or truck once. They probably loved and babied it.

    M1008 Bumper on M1010

    still standing still cyco, Would you mind taking a couple pics of the hitch you have installed on your M1010. Also if you know the model and brand that would be helpful. I would like to build a M1010 I have for towing. I would like to keep the step intact. Thanks in advance.

    Please help

    I believe if the top on the injection pump has been improperly installed it can cause this High rev condition. Just a thought. Good Luck

    GL was easy!

    That bidding style can get very annoying. If you get in that situation again you can uncheck auto bid and throw in whatever number you want. That can speed up the process if you have somewhere you have to be.

    Generator "heating" for easier cold weather starts

    Use at your own risk - I use a propane ready heater (35000 btu) to preheat stubborn cold engines. A small inverter will power the blower to make it work. I use it like a giant heat gun very easy to direct the heat exactly where needed. I usually use it to heat the oil pan to thin the oil out...
