    1984 cucv Engine oil type 6.2l diesel

    Just throwing this in ... don't confuse those terms with their english language meanings. By law, partial synthetics are sold as "full" synthetics; "partial" is not a thing on oil labels; but, "blended" represents an oil with a little syntjetic blended in. Actual english language full...

    LED blinker module suggestions

    So, just exercising my thinker, but ... bang, you are there - maybe. I read this description as parking lights blink when requested. This is how the brake and blinkers share a bulb on trailers/ my motorcycle. Not sure how hmmvw is designed to operate, but sounds like you can get it to...

    So ... 'bout that 1911; sure looked familiar. One heartbeat of where the flip is my BBR (carrying otherwise today) before I realized that ain't mine. It's the 507 on a compact that twisted up the heartbeat. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    M35a3 stereo system

    Sounds like you hired professional 12v system installers. I'm not sure what you're do'n with 8 speakers outside the cab, but if your inverter is robust enough, you can power your entire 12v system with the inverter. Don't try to power 12v equipment with 24v. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    M35a3 stereo system

    How is battery 3 being charged in the 24v system. There is not a clean way to wire it up unless you have a 24v/12v alternator. You can maintain the 12v solo from the 24v pair by adding an inverter. You can maintain the 12v using solar or shore powered charger. Cleanest solve is 24v audio and...

    LED blinker module suggestions

    I'm lost. Too many wires for a headlight - should be 3 total to get a low beam and a high beam. So, what sorta extras does your headlight have. E.g., I have 3 of 5 wires connected for my deuce LEDs. I am not running the DRLs or the blinkers in my fixtures ... yet. If you have a volt meter, ID...

    LED blinker module suggestions

    That's a great question. Could ID a source of constant power. Now for my question. Is it normal to have the parking lights illimunated with the headlights? On my deuce, parking lights or headlights, but never both. This is different than a normal car, but by design on the deuce. We use the same...

    LED blinker module suggestions

    Yes to waste of time. It sounds like your blinkers have secured themselves an alternate power source which is your headlight power. So a resistor will just convert power to heat while you run the headlights. No blink indicates a constant power source is feeding the fronts. You know the...

    Multi fuel beginner

    Howdy Karl, I'm 'bout a week your senior in Deuce land. So, watch for folks to correct what I get wrong. If diesel is available, it is your best choice. Multi fuel is about having options when diesel is not available. Gas is bad for the health of your injection system. It is important to add...

    Texas Gulf Coast Checking In

    Howdy, Hi and Hello I'm less than a month from picking up a '71 deuce & a half. My plan is to build myself a rolling toy hauler/man cave/dog house/. If you have an S280 or a M109a3 box, I'm interested. Home base is just oustide Pearland exactly as far from Houston as possible with enough...

    Hi from ETexas

    To be fair, I have a lock on all my small trailer couplers 'cause the home built tactic I shared makes it very easy for someone to claim my trailers without my consent leaving me to review video and find'm and the trailers myself. Ask me how I know the police don't want to be bothered tracking...

    LMBO ... finally scrolled from the top. Good news 'cause I ain't no more worried about offending the crowd. I talk fancy sometimes, but you'll get over it. So, is this rig named after a water'n hole just our side of the border? If it is, we share some friends. With that new roof I ain't gonna...

    Hi from ETexas

    Hmmm ... If you are willing to tag it, go to a different tax office. Tell'm you have a little home built trailer you want to register. So, you are skipping the military vehicle conversation entirely. If this gives you pause ... looking at your tow vehicle, I'm betting you "did" build it from...
