Need Help with New CUCV-2 Vehicle End Trailer Connector In further research I found this post from January 2010 from 'lavarok' who provided the big key to help me out on this project. Since other newbies (like me) always follow behind with the same questions when they are trying to do...

Yes...I decided to switch my CUCV-2 over to the Pollack 7-pin socket to make things easier between my military and civilian SUV's. I must presume my M101A3 only needs the 3 power wires and the 1 ground wire as you used.

Based on the comments you guys made - I got under the Tahoe today to check the available trailer power wiring. I only found one run of 6 wires running inside black plastic conduit - from the left rear fender to the military trailer connector mounted on the center right of the rear bumper. I...

I had also wondered if I could just remove the CUCV military trailer wiring socket (I already bought the military to civilian conversion cable for prior use on another civilian truck) - and if a new civilian 7-pin round socket would just drop right in the existing hole in the bumper...?

I watched one YouTube video that installed a steel mounting bracket for the cable socket connector box into the underside of the bumper with "self tapping screws". I have never used these before - but I suspect they will not penetrate the thick chrome plated steel rear bumper...maybe I am wrong...?

Hi All... I own one of the rare 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe 2-Door 5.7L (CUCV-2) which I bought in 2011 with around 116,000 miles and it has served me very well over the last several years. :-D It has a steel bumper with tow ring bars cut into the face - and a military trailer connector socket...

In my CUCV-2 1999 Tahoe - the power converter is mounted to the right rear fender wall - adjacent to the right rear door. Here are two photos of my Duvac Power Converter Unit...

Flotrol Has anyone come up with a recommended mix ratio for Flotrol to Behr Latex paint yet based upon actual painting of military vehicles...? Thanks!:roll:

I wonder if with existing GM components that can be had...if one could a OEM install cruise system in this '99 Tahoe...?

If you e-mail Mr. Dan McGath at Dmcgath@ilsos.net and explain the situation, he can have a new 3-month Temporary Registration Plate ordered for you while you await arrival of the plates... Office of the Secretary of State- Vehicle Services Department, 217/558-6148

Anyone have any updated information on when the Secretary of State is actually going to start manufacturing the FMV plate....? I applied for one back in December and have heard nothing since...?

I see Home Depot sells this stuff locally, in 1/2 G, 1 G, and 5 G bottle sizes..

Just as a status update, I today received my receipt and cardboard Temporary Registration Plate in the mail...so the S.O.S. Office processed my FMV application pretty quick and got the paperwork right back to me (8 days)...! It's heart-warming to see efficiency every now and then...! :0)

Well, finally got my paperwork in today to apply for the FMV plates on my CUCV-II Tahoe. The base plates were $100 (for GVWR under 26,000 lbs) and an additional $94 if you wanted vanity plates. I was a bit disappointed that you cannot get vanity plates for a military trailer - they issue only...

E-mail sent - let me know if you got it....thanks!
