Still snow in PA?

Monax (Móonack) is an Algonquian name of the woodchuck, which meant "digger"

Well Joe, You must explain your thoughts and the process. All I see is a shiny fluorescent green dash that color doesn't match anything. You may regret it when the sun shines on it. You can already see the green reflection in the glass and most likely it will blind you on a sunny day. You may...

What's important for the starting speed is that everything should be working as designed. Good and fully charged batteries, good starter, working glow plugs, good fuel, good fuel supply, good engine oil, injectors, injection pump and the proper cylinder compression. Take just one of those items...

As stated in my signature, M1008 & M1009 both 1986

Mine do, and all original stock design.

If its a 354 you won't be happy with its performance in the 1009 unless you plan on only using it off road . It has less torque and horsepower than the 6.2. Also it red lines at a much lower rpm so that will limit your top speed.

I didn't know Perkins made a 6 cylinder 454. You sure it's not a 354.

What series Perkins is that? What is the HP and torque specs? It looks like a six cylinder.

I don't have any vehicles in the HMMWV family so I can not give any valuable advise on those. My 2 CUCVs are registered and insured in NY as "Historical". Insurance cost about $120.00 "each" per year with 10K coverage. Downfall is you can't use them as a daily driver, but many do.

Rick, Now that you may have your latest build for a while you should rename it with something catchy like you did with Easter Find. 1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked of course is too long. Built in a Barn 1 is is good but still too long. How about just Barn Built 2 because Easter Find...

Don't get any ideas Rick. Though I would love to have your latest build, I recently retired and I am now on a fixed income.

Rick, another great ride but It looks like your barber shop still isn't open.

It should be about time for a few updated photos of Cowdog now that it has new shoes

Any luck on this issue yet?

Rick, Whats the part # for those?

You may find you still have a glow plug card issue. Mine was acting up "like yours" long enough to burn up or confuse my "original" card. Even if not, it may be a good Idea to have a new card as a spare anyways. Member "Antenna Climber" use to sell them.

I pulled mine out and tested with a combination of heat gun and voltmeter. I can't remember if the circuit to the censer is normally open or normally closed when hot.

Most likely it's your glow plugs cycling on and off. If your voltmeter needle stutters with the clicking then your getting a battery draw from your GP solenoid as the solenoid and plugs stutter on & off. Something is telling the solenoid to cycle on and off "very rapidly". First check/replace if...

Rick, Is that your flashing job on the chimney? You own a metal brake? Looks professional.
