Solid Gold, I was having the same problem today. Luckily, I had a block heater installed and I had to let it warm up for a few hours and then I followed the instructions on the back of the visor and it started right up. Good luck.

Bienvenu! I played airsoft in France one time with some french folks. It might have been the best day of my life. It was at an old french Army post MOUT site maybe 2 hours drive west of Strausbourg. I was amazed at the the locals dressing up like American soldiers! Dozens of them. I like...

1. Thanks! 2. Yep. Bettendorf as in the QC. I lived there before I joined the Army in 1999. 3. Yep. I live within eye sight of the park. Maybe 200 meters, straight line distance. I'd invite you to dinner and a chat but I'm heading out of state next week for a couple of weeks. I'll be back by the...

Genau. Exactly.

Nothing. I had to use a primer gun which allowed me to spray the thick sub. CARC. It just had a bigger nozzel, I guess.

I didn't do anything. I just painted over the old, faded camo CARC paint job.

Hey, linx310. I see Gunsnet is still down. I have never seen a CUCV used as a gun truck but I'd be interesting in the idea. You still got a M1919?

Here's a funny story about the MOPO. So we borrowed a couple M114 hummers from a sister company, take them to the field, and hosed the mud off when we were done. The dirt just would not come off the tire side walls. So, this buck SGT and myself got some black spray paint and start spaying down...

Rims are next. Thanks for the compliment. It was my first time ever painting before and thankfully the CARC is very forgiving.

I had to cover up the old camo CARC paint. I rented a painting bay at the local Autocraft place on Ft. Carson for $30 and I had to pay $22 for some cleaner to clean their gun after i used it. That price also includes the use of their paint gun. I ordered 2 gallons of Tan CARC substitute from...

Have you ever wanted to see Colorado? You can bring your paint sprayer and sander up here and I have a spare bed and bath for you. And I'll give you a couple hundred.

Hello, everyone. Just a short history. I bought a 1986 CUCVwith 7,500 miles on it back in Dec. 2008 on Ft. Carson. I drove it everyday from March 2009 to July 2009, adding 2,000 miles to it. I searched here to find out what I should before storing it. I found that I should top off the fuel...

Well, I think I found the problem when I went to pull the cable off of the truck. The battery harness moved a bit and was hitting a battery tower. That must have shorted it out and made it burn as m38inmaine has pointed out. So, just how can I fix the cable by replacing the ground wire? Can...

So when I pulled my new CUCV out of the GL lot, the front battery cable with the ground looked in bad shape and the ground was all showing wire as all the plastic had burnt off. I run home and pulled a cable off a junk CUCV and replaced it on my new one. Well, fast forward about 3 months to...

Btt!
