I'm wrong. I readily admit it. I went digging to find where and how this little nugget of misinformation found it's way into my consciousness. It came from here - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?136867-Glow-Plug-Failure/page2 it seems the cascading failure of one glow plug...

A double thickness of 1" stall mat?

My understanding is that the system sends power based on the resistance of 8 glowplugs. Lose one and the others are over energized and fail one after the other. Each one that fails increasing the overload on the next. ( it's possible this is CUCV specific ) I have had no glow plug problems, so...

Monopoly - either you deal with them directly, deal with someone who deals with them, or abstain.... each has its own set of evils.

I believe missing one glow plug will cause the others to overvolt, producing a cascade of failed glow plugs. Do without functioning glow plugs entirely - keep your truck in a heated garage....

I'm sorry, but I'm clueless. It's the one in the GP ad that I sent you the link to the other day. Here's a pic of one of the tags on the genset.

I'm just now starting to go through a drash trailer I bought last year. It has fluids, and I'm ready to try cranking it...

It was a long difficult job, but I replaced the broken driver's side door handle today.... (New handle sourced from SSG Gibb, endorsed)

Idaho got it right. I defy you to misinterpret this - " 10 49-458. MILITARY VEHICLES. Notwithstanding any provisions of law to 11 the contrary, a vehicle built for the United States armed forces may be reg- 12 istered and operated on public highways of this state,"

How's your idle speed?

The answer they gave you is their official answer: they don't want you to go look at it yourself or have a buddy do so. They won't even tell you where it is until you win it. Unlike GL, GP intends for their online ad to be all the info you get to make bidding decisions. Thus the premium for...

Do you have nice sunny days there in WA?

when the air system fails and the air leaks out and the springbrakes apply, that's the emergency brake. As separate from the park brake and the service circuits.

DMV isn't involved. The restriction is part of the EUC. I'm sure they get sold to noncitizens on the secondary market all the time, although this is a violation of the EUC. The only time it would come back and bite you is if the truck ended up somewhere it shouldn't be. I speculate that in...

This bears emphasis. There is a lethal amount of energy stored in that spring. It will literally kill you dead if mishandled. I strongly suggest that the first time you work on them you have someone with you that's done it before.

Recent auction prices of similar trucks + 20%. Edit - these are the most recent within a reasonable drive of you.

Pictures 46 48 50 57 65 all look problematic to me. That truck did not get to its current location under its own power. The torque rods look like they're about to let go. The axles look shifted. I see no indication that the brakes work or that the truck builds air. Personally, I would not...

As written, it only applies to MVs designed for off road use. This would make practically everything exempt from it, considering that virtually all wheeled vehicles are designed primarily for on road use.

Looks very restricted. I'm glad I don't live in MI. Questions- 1) what about all those FMVs newer than 25years old? 2) can an FMV be registered commercial or registered as a daily driver if it meets the criteria? 2a) is an FMVSS sticker part of the criteria? 3) what happens to the...

A couple of random thoughts - I learned all about the air system a few years ago lying on my back under the truck on the side of I 10 near Texas Canyon, with a tablet in one hand with P2P pulled up. I want to emphasize that 14.00s are getting scarce and old. This'd be an ideal time to change...
