Apologies for asking these questions that must be answered on this site. I just can't find what I need.
1. Which TM shows the proper maintenance and adjustment for the different brake system for an M185A3 1969? I tried to look at the normal M35A2 or M109A3 and the brakes and adjustments seem...
I have seen posts on here before about what to take in your deuce on a long road trip. I have used advanced search and can't seem to find any of them. I guess I just don't know what to search for. In any case I would like to know what parts would be good to keep costs down when taking my m109...
So I helped a friend the other day pull a tahoe out of a pit in the snow at night. I had to pull it out up hill on an ice road. ended up putting chains on the Deuce to finally get that SUV out. Things seemed fine after about 2 hours of low gear spinning tires weaving back and forth. Probably...
Hey Everyone,
I am trying to figure out the best way to do this. I want to install a pump on my deuce that can transfer oil at a rate of 15+ GPM. I don't want to use any gas engines or electricity. My initial thoughts are using one of the alternator add-ons for adding 12v to the deuce but...
I have a plan for my m1009 to make it more off road worthy and I would like to get advice before I get started.
My plan is
1. Change to m1008 axles 2500.00, purchased from parts truck.
2. Change to hummer bead-locks with 37" tires 500-1000.00? Considering diy4x.com or militaryoffroadtires.net...
I took the M35A2 on a nice off roading/camping trip last week. The Kids and my sister were impressed.
Anyhow, on the way home, I noticed that the truck seemed to have a whine to it not from the engine itself. Seems to be a whine when the electrical switch is activated, I am wondering if a...
I am considering replacing my th400 tranny with a 700r tranny that has overdrive, has anyone done this? does it increase the cruising speed of the cucv?
I think I messed up something a while back working in my dash of the m1008.
My rear emergency flashers, rear turn signals and brake lights don't work.
Now what do those three sets of lights all have in common? A relay perhaps?
If anyone knows of the obvious solution that would help. I...
So I finally got around to doing the initial fluid checks and replacement as needed for my M109 that I bought last fall, turns out the differential plugs are all glued shut.:x
First I tried my 1/2 inch socket wrench with extension and couldn't get them to budge at all
I tried an impact gun...
Greetings All,
I have a transporter that is moving a tow bar for me from georgia to cheyenne. Since I live in South Jordan, Utah I am wondering if there is anyone in Cheyenne that could recieve the tow bar and hold it for me on 9/21 or 9/22?
Secondly if anyone in Cheyenne has any regular...
So I have an odd puzzle. I took the pan off the tranny and drained all the fluid. Then I put the pan back on and as the FAQ says I added 4 quarts of dexron III. when I turned on the engine and measured the level it didn't even show on the dip stick. I added another 3.2 quarts until I ran out...
So I just took the m1008 out for an extended drive (1.5 hours) and about half way through the trip the truck suddenly started vibrating. Seems that it stops vibrating on idle and vibrates a lot at 25-35 mph whether accelerating or decelerating. Starts vibrating around 5 or 10 mph. It used to...
So, problem is this. On both sides the turn signal lights and the side turn signal light flash when I use the turn indicator but the passengers side signal lights don't light up when I turn on the head lights. The driver side lights up when I turn on the head lights, just not the passenger...
Hello,
I was wondering what the concensus is on sources for light bulbs to replace the bulbs on the CUCV, turn signal lights, head lights, etc...
What is the best place to get them?
Thanks,
Max
Hi All,
I just bought a m1008 and when I had it delivered it didn't run. So I bought some new batteries, checked all the fluids and was happy to find that it started right up. So far after airing up the tires and taking her for a spin I was surprised at a few things. Having never driven one...
Hi all,
I am a new owner of a 1972 deuce AM Gen. I love it. It starts right up so long as its over 20 degrees f.
Anyhow, my question is. If I drive my deuce around or take it on a trip and it breaks down then I feel rather toasted. Since its 24 volt I won't be getting a jump start from...
Greetings all,
I recently won my first auction, it was for an m1008. Whether or not it runs is unknown. I live in Salt Lake, Utah and need to get it up here from Barstow, California. I think I will have to rent a truck and a flat bed trailer to put it on since I don't have a truck worthy for...
