Man. Glad you are OK, that must have been a sphincter-slipper!!Went swimming last Friday. Actually on the "high"way. Torrential rainfall had washed grass onto the road, it was night and what looked like wet pavement was about 10" deep of grass/leaves etc and water. Went from 40 MPH to 15 fast enough to trigger the seatbelt lock and cause a good bit of retention of my upper body mass. Took three cycles of the wipers to clear the windshield. Massive adrenaline dump. No hydroplaning, the Cooper Maxx STs have awesome wet grip.
No sheet metal redesign, nothing harmed. Just finished cleaning out the debris from the truck. The water did a great job cleaning the mud and grease from the transfer case.
Doing stuff like that is why I got some strong rock sliders. Ha haAnother going up a creek bed.

Local law enforcement doesnt care for mine at allThat is a very true statement. Even around here where I live. There are those who think if you drive a "military vehicle" you must be some kind of "white supremacist" . Even at my church ! I mean "REALLY !"
It is indeed. We have a low water bridge near me that is underwater anytime the river rises. It used to be single lane, too. You just take turns. One dark evening a young girl (19, IIRC) tried to cross during a storm. She got swept off. She managed to call 911 as the car was going under. Pretty sad call.Moving water is deceiving stuff.
Looks really nice, Keith.On other CUCV accomplishments, I got my digital volt/ammeter mounted properly. ....
Here are the images. I think it turned out pretty professional.
Oh, Lord, that is so sad. I am sorry.It is indeed. We have a low water bridge near me that is underwater anytime the river rises. It used to be single lane, too. You just take turns.

Something wrong with transmission to engine alignment. Check transmission mounts ASAP. Any transmission fluid leaks from torque converter?Replaced the flexplate... Just in time Too... She was barely holding on!

Could be. Might just be age.Something wrong with transmission to engine alignment.
I agree. I have seen that on a few. They have withstood a lot of years and vibration in that time. I had a few come apart in pieces and send the pieces thru the case/bell housing. Minor blemish. Replaced the flex plate and moved on. Easy way to change flex-plate with one man and no removal or lowering of transmission/transfer case. Coming soon to the Mr Rusty thread. Have a Great Day. Take advantage of the great weather. I will be today after work.Could be. Might just be age.
Oh, Man. Don't remind me...When I removed the transmission I checked the mounts and they looked fine. More than likely it failed due to old age.
I would like to hear about your 4bt progress. That's the same idea I have. But im conflicted because there's a 7.3 sitting in my barn not doing anything.Brought home another project. A 1984 M1009 without a complete engine that will make a great canidate for a Cummins 4BT transplant (happen to already have one from a Frito Van )
