pump up the tires real hard. I run 45 psi, gets me 19 to 20 mpg.

I plugged mine off as the insides of that doodad wouldn't come out.

One clue with the older trucks is the dual speedometer scale: if you have say a 1966 Kaiser and it has both mph / km then the speedo has been replaced.

Cheap to register, cheap to insure, fuel mileage aint bad.....as long as the injection pump is good then I'd say yea, go for it. The cost of a replacement pump can exceed the value of some of our trucks 8<)

stone pickr, I thought I saw that rig at the Hilton Gardens in Las Cruces NM awhile back...didn't know what I was lookin at though 8<)

Hey neighbor...I see your rig everyso often on the east side 8<) Alex

Oh, they come in tan and green ? 8<) Welcome !!

I dont know the answer, but can comment that an hour or two labor is the least of your worries. I had the IP changed in my CUCV recently...it was a thousand bucks for a rebuilt one w/ labor. So now that I have replaced the most expensive part of the truck, I may as well fix the little stuff and...

Well, I presently spend $400 per month on fuel..so a six month payback isn't that bad.... I like it. Is this kind of on-board system available from Big Truck salvage yards?

Howdy neighbor, from the soooouth siiide 8<)

I'm new to this, so I'm OK with you telling me I'm wrong. Everytime oil is transferred there is some spillage / leakage. Sop it up with rags, now I got oily rags to deal with. Everything has a film of oil on it, attracting dirt , so now everything is oily AND dirty. I'm willing to trade cargo...

Unaffiliated : Pics of the rock shields are in this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/72038-closeups-cucv-window-guards.html The vehicle previously saw Border Partol service, the shields are to protect agents from rocks thrown from the MX side. A's n 8's : I have a 41 cal derringer like...

Well, sorta kinda, yeah, 2 separate 12V systems that could be selectable somehow. I mean, most of the hardware is already there. Not a big deal, just a thought experiment. Attached is the Crown Victoria pic, Kinda redneck but thats what I had to work with at the time.

from a reliability perspective what about two twelves? Keep both alts & both batteries, but have redundancy ?

Hey K9 Vic, I used to be on the CV board as well... I had the lifted '96 with BFG all terrains & 3.73 posi for running the riverbanks in Mexico. It burnt to the ground so now I have a CUCV 8<)

Ah Ok, HMMWV parts, I look there. Thanks.

OK, the truck has been parked in the garage a coupla months, its not 1000 degrees outside, I'm ready to take a look at it again. So first thing I did was go to NAPA to get the crankcase breather hardware...no luck with the part numbers listed in this thread or others. Same with ORiellys auto...

Worked at the Motor Pool, huh ? Ya mean Engine Pool ?

yep, I ran 100% transformer oil in my M109, it likes it better than #2 diesel.

Oh, OK. Because I'm thinkin I'm awfully upside down on mine 8<)
