I did a quick internet search. Brass radiator necks are readily available.

Not too long ago I read a post in the CUCV forum asking why a radiator cap would spontaneously start leaking. I did not have an answer back then. Now that I have encountered the same propblem on my truck, I have figured out why it happens and how to solve it. 1. The radiator caps are stamped...

I did think about that. I ended up taking it to a local place and having it sandblasted. It was about $2600.00. It was by the hour… $100.00 per hour. I did not expect it to be that high. Live and learn. Reading your post again, I think we are misunderstanding. I needed the power at our...

Started building an obstacle course at work. It is nice to have portable power for sanding.

A suggestion, verify that power is reaching the service light switch and the headlight switch. Headlight switches do fail.

I had to stay with my fellow maintenace truck owner. Can’t do anything without maintenance!

On mine, I pulled the small wire out of the engine harness, then I made it longer and put a single wire connector on it. The other side of the connector went to the starter. That way when I have to remove the starter, I disconnect from the starter at the connector rather than struggling to get...

I painted mine with behr a couple years ago. Still holding up really well.

Go Hogs!

The vacuum line goes to the VRV on the Injector pump. Lower position. This provides vacuum to the transmission modulator for shifting. The single wire connector goes nowhere, it ends on the other side of the firewall in another connector. I have not researched it but may have to do with either...

To continue from my last post…

This is a good tool to track your turn signal issues Also look at the color wiring diagrams http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?75505-CUCV-Wiring-Diagram-color-(except-M1010)

In post #4 you say that the rear bulbs appear to function properly. Does that mean that they flash correctly as turn signals? The front and rear turn signals are on separate circuits in the turn signal switch.

There are grounds at the front on both sides of the radiator support that will rust and cause issues too.

Please check and or replace the side marker bulbs and the rear stop/tail/turn bulbs. They all act as turn signals. The indicators on the dash stay on when there is a bad bulb in the circuit.
