    Is it possible for a 6.2 to runaway, safety measures?

    A non runaway but not shutting off 6.2 is easy to kill by pinching the return line at the top of the IP. This is in reply to the last few post about ignition switch issues. It won't help with contaminated air supply run away issues.

    Jump starting with a M1009. Could have gone real bad

    I left Friday afternoon to take my Scouts on a camp out. We hiked a mile or so Friday, camped, hiked 12 miles into the middle of nowhere Saturday, camped and then back Sunday. I had intermittent cell signal and just turned my phone off except to check text ever few hours. One of my Scout...

    Deuce Manufacturer?

    You can get within 5 years of build date by looking at a long combination of small things. Such as how the motor mounts are held to the frame, flat firewall or curved, where the speedo cable comes through the tunnel cover, etc... But, no you can't tell exactly who made the truck without a data...

    Questions on installing hard top glass

    I have good results putting the rubber on the top, putting soap on the seal and then putting the bottom of the glass in the seal and working the top of the seal onto the glass. HF has some great blue plastic "body work" tools that allow you to pry and what not on the seal/glass without breaking...

    M1009 aka RED project under way

    Good idea, but video games don't put grit under your finger nails, cuts on your knuckles and crud in your eye. Or make you work for hours on something that gets messed up at the very end. Colton can handle the physical stuff but the persistence thing is why this keeps dragging on and on. We...

    Electrical issues

    The low coolant sensor is on the passenger side of the radiator. Follow what the -20 says and ground the wire. That is how you test it.

    M1009 aka RED project under way

    I thought I did place an order. Or at least a request some months ago. I was displaying great patience by not asking again. I guess I do need to tutor him on picture posting.

    M1009 aka RED project under way

    We hope to have it at the rally so he can drive it on the trails. It should be all green by then and water tight. Before I let it be driven on the road, he still needs to replace the front springs, new calipers, ball joints, tie rod ends, drag link ends, ujoints, all brake hoses and at the...

    M1009 aka RED project under way

    I didn't realize it had been 4 months since I had updated this thread. We have been busy without much time for posting. Back around Christmas he sanded down the inside, finished welding up the rocker and floor with a home made patch panel, painting the interior, Mount up a set of M1008...

    Allen says he is in. I haven't contacted sermis, Kwai, pistolnut or 40Grit yet. I will do some calling this weekend since they never get online anymore.

    axle length ?

    I don't know the reason for sure. However, my M715 is about the same ratio thinner on the rear. All of the older baby jeeps are thinner in the rear as well. My guess is for tracking in turns reasons. I just know the 1009 is so easy to drive around obstacles on the trail. Basically, once your...

    Coolant system flush procedure?

    If I understand your question correctly, you just want to get the detergent and water out. Not, force crud or gunk out of the system. The best and cheapest way to do that is to pull the upper radiator hose off at the radiator, stick a garden hose in the radiator cap inlet, let the hose flow...

    Can the Master Cylinder handle 50psi? (And brake flush related questions)

    Alcohal is a good flush medium. as stated, you only need about 5 psi to push stuff through. Sure, you can crank it up to 50 psi, but why spray yourself and the under side of the truck?

    2013 Annual TX MV Rally

    Since we had 4 M35 trucks at the museum last year. I am going to try real hard to get the M715 repower done by then and bring it. Colton and I will be there in either the M715 or a M35. We might also drag his project M009 to the camp site which should be done by then. It will stay at the...

    Long to Short Injector swap headaches

    I had to use a ruler to figure out I had gained 1/4". Looking at a long injector engine, taking a step and looking at the same side of a short injector engine left me wondering. No way a picture would show it. We are almost done putting the 6.2C engine all back together. I will get a picture...

    Long to Short Injector swap headaches

    I gained 1/4" clearance on the #8 injector line. Or, the line is now 1/4" closer to the head on all injectors. Just wanted to make sure I put an end to this thread with an answer.
