Running any diesel engine lightly loaded results in unburned fuel in the exhaust, causing an accumulation of a gooey wet substance. This reduces the ability for the engine to make the rated power and also causes accelerated wear. The treatment once it has happened is gradual loading of the...

If I'm going to the expense of having something completely sandblasted, I'm probably going to have it shot with a zinc type primer and CARC immediately afterwards.

My first thought also, but that wouldn't stop when the compressor is disconnected.

Edward's Canvas in Paul's Valley OK does excellent canvas work. The stock cargo covers are extremely hot in the summer.

Don't you have train horns?

Not exclusively. The campground on Mt Lemmon objected to my M925 because "it's too big" . They relented when I demonstrated that I could get it into a standard parking space.

I get (and give) the wave in my hmmwv, and also in my 5tons for that matter. I'd say maybe this is a regional thing, but my experiences include AZ to GA. So maybe the jeep exclusion thing is specific to TX. We (the MV enthusiasts) and the jeep crowd have a lot more in common with each other...

A sample size of one doesn't mean much. They may have said no to the guy in front of you and the guy behind you. My experience has been that DMVs are anything but consistent. (Personal experience, multiple states, multiple vehicles. I've even gotten different information from the same clerk on...

MTVR specific questions should probably be directed towards elijah95 as he recently drove one from California to Georgia. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mtvr-recovery-from-yermo-cali-to-georgia.189877/page-4#post-2244095 As to transmission differences between the 5speed manual in the...

Details on this harbor freight thing? Interesting how you express a preference for the front winch. I actually prefer the rear winch...

18B, VERY impressive. I like the 939series trucks. Full airbrakes are to be preferred over the air over hydraulic brakes on the 809series. Even if the transmission and transfer case in the 939's aren't as robust as the 809series. Cruising speed in a 939 with 11.00R20 tires is 57ish. Super...

I have to ask "to what purpose?" What will any of these engines do that the OEM cat won't do equally well? (Or close enough to equally well to be indistinguishable in the given usage?) I could see an engine swap if the existing engine was destroyed and needed replacement. I can see an...

I'm just finding out about it as of reading this thread. I'm an AZ resident, but in KS frequently.

Since most of them went through rebuild at some point, the original date of manufacture is pretty much irrelevant. As noted above, TX is "shall issue" for hmmwv titles and tags. No sense paying a premium for already tagged vehicles if you live in TX. My advice - shop based on condition...

Reset for 939series trucks came in two flavors - 1) RSMS, which was essentially a frame off restoration to as new condition (more or less) 2) IROAN, which was "inspect, replace only as needed". Data plates which were damaged or faded frequently got replaced. Vehicle serial numbers were...

My guess is it went through reset and got a new data plate then. Frequently they didn't get date stamped. Best guess says the engine is original to the truck.

Why?

Same as a deuce? I may have one in the toolbox in KS. I'll check this weekend. If so, you can borrow it and I'll hand it off when I bring you those axle clamps.

I agree with this. On a hmmwv or a deuce or a 5ton I'd say just go with a 24v through the slave port. But on the cucv's bastardized 12/24 system I'd charge each separately. Not a huge difference either way.

And if you drop the tcase , also consider a new cooling loop....
