Not selling here! WalMart seems to be clearing out of their Hella 500s and I've seen them at a couple of Wammerts for $50 or less. They are pretty solid lamps and if you have the need... Check yours!

Nice work! You're right though, the modulator does look like a squirrel had an attack of Montezuma's Revenge all over it...

I'm an old microelectronics guy (I'm a geek who collects tube stuff). The card is most likely repairable. Clean it well, check the traces for any shorts or new paths caused by the melting, and when you replace the IC and the burnt resistor, I would go through and test each other resistor for...

The Gauge wiring in the CUCV trucks are a film like printed circuit board that just seems made to short. https://www.classictruck.com/product/1981_1987_Printed_circuit_dash_cluster_wiring_PCDCW-31/1981-87_Trucks_Speedometer_and_Gauge_Items_Printed_Circuit_Dash_Cluster_Wiring Is one example...

Is it worth 575.00 for a Painless harness when you have electrical issues with a 1008? Or do you think that the majority of the repairs were close enough to original that line testing and wire tracing is plenty sufficient? I've been thinking about the fact that the Belts and hoses have aged...

So wait, there was an Arctic White scheme for CUCVs? By the time I went to NWTC we had 998s and they were all green or camo... I would think that a flat white one would be really interesting. Anyone have pics of one?

My lazy vet butt will be burning meat and drinking diet mountain dew with my girls. Best way to spend a day ever. :)

Hey there Carnac, if you can get me the Supply Catalog numbers, I'll chase another one through. As far as current status is, I submitted the req, and the current response was to get them off of the internet... aua I advised them that my req was to get them declassed so that it wouldn't be a...

Today's update... The Army Declassification team apparently didn't understand my request to declass the documents, because they recommended I get them off of the internet.... :cookoo: I resubmitted with clarification that Declass was the request... Next round please... :wink:

Geeze, I though y'all realized that Iowa was heaven... :cookoo: :razz:

Hey there, I was looking at that BDS kit, did you have to special order? I only see gas engine options... Did I miss it?

Noob question.:???: What's the benefit of H1 tires vs Stock?

Hi guys, After reading most of the CUCV posts, and in my attempt for a Noob to be useful, I put in a FOIA request to have TM 9-4940-562-13 and TM 9-4940-562-23P released from classified status, for applicable safety and troubleshooting needs of end users who purchase the M1031 as surplus...

Hey there, I'm usually lurking on the CUCV forum, but today I saw a Blue 715 in my town. I was hoping that they lurk here too. Always cool to know someone else has the MV bug, and with a truly cool truck!

Just for fun, I submitted a FOIA request for both TM 9-4940-562-23P and TM 9-4940-562-13. I guess we'll see what happens...
