    shifting question

    Did you have the tcase in 4 low? I ask because that will more than half your speed or double your rpm for a given speed.

    STE/lCE tester- what do they do and do they exist anymore?

    Simplified Testing Equipment/Internal Combustion Engine boxes are still out there. Find one with all the connectors and wires and adaptors. If it isn't all there, don't buy it. If you read the STE/ICE TM, you will be amazed at all it can test. RPM, actual numbers for fuel psi, oil psi, trans...

    M101 electrical question

    I agree it is a lot better trailer. I think the hand holds in the corners are pure genius too. I wasn't trying to slight the CDN trailer. He asked about the wiring plug and I gave him the proper answer. The 101/416/CDN101 differences have been hashed, discussed and mentioned so much here...

    M101 electrical question

    That is a 416. The Canadian 101 is the US 416. Yes, the plug will fit your 1009 and yes it will pull it great. Now, are the wires any good and do the lights on the trailer work? Who knows.

    Has anyone built an electric or manual throttle lock?

    The fast idle solenoid does not have enough power to move the throttle up by itself. You have to move it first. The way it is supposed to work is this. There is something called the fast idle and cold advance switch located at the rear outside of the passenger side head. That switch is...

    M1028 starts and idles fine but occasionally changes rpm while driving

    Fire it up, let it warm up and get off of high idle. Then, use your finger or a screw driver and push the throttle lever up a little. Then hold it. Hold it for at least 30 seconds. I have one that once I am steady for a while, it will start to race up in rpm even though I haven't moved. 27...

    4th Semi-Annual Texas MV Rally

    We don't seem to have people signing up like crazy with just 16 days to go. We might actually be losing people. That means the cost per person is going to stay pretty darn high. Or go higher. Jennifer totalled our family Suburban last week. She is about back to healthy again. But, that...

    do all CUCV's drain their batteries?

    Same here. That light switch is always on. Since he "lightly" charged the front battery and then jump started off the rear battery, I would think the rear battery is faulty. Did you load test them both since the troubles?

    is there a difference in tire flaps?

    When these two piece rims are put together. The tire sits around everything except the front lock ring. I have always heard that called the can and call it that myself. Coats makes tire lube in 5 pound buckets. Great stuff.

    is there a difference in tire flaps?

    I thought this thread was about mud flaps too. There are 3 different M35 mud flap structures by the way. Hinged at the bottom on the old Gassers. Normal and then the cut out sides on the drop side bed trucks. I will second the deal about tube flaps being very important. Smearing them with...

    USAF Ground Vehicle Registration Numbers

    I have to continue my number sequence already started. My M715 was supposed to be 900513. I messed up the order of the numbers and got 900523. So, my Gasser M35 got 900513. Whistler M35 is 900514. M105 -900515. M105-900516. M101-900517. M1009-900518. All these are already registered legally with...

    How to get my 6.2 to run more smoothly?

    Unless fuel is squirting out on every pulse, that probably isn't your rough idle problem. Yes, it should be fixed. I still think you will need a new injection pump to make it right.

    I will have to look at the data plate.

    Sticking a 6.2 in a sheetmetal box

    6.2 timing seems to be one of those voodoo areas that everybody has a theory, but no hard evidence. I really don't know if engine life will be effected one way or the other. I just know I put a new IP on my 1009 Friday. The old IP was just a hair advanced past the line and not obnoxiously...

    USAF Ground Vehicle Registration Numbers

    Thanks for posting the manuals and pictures. I am about to redo the 1984 USAF Suburban and needed to know how to put markings on it. I guess it would be a "B"?

    Sticking a 6.2 in a sheetmetal box

    I know this is almost an apples to oranges comparison, but I think it will help. My 1952 M35 Gasser with the stock REO OA331 and a muffler with the tail pipe out the back between the duals is hardly heard when sitting still. Above 30 mph or so, it is just as loud as my M35A2 multifuel with...
