So I bought the RF-3183 setup and cant get it to work with a Yeasu 2m radio. The Yeasu has a bnc adapter and is plugged in the VHF port on the antenna base. I have swapped radios, cables, vhp/uhf ports, swapped antenna bases (truck has two), grounded the antenna base, with no luck. I can...

I was issued an m1097a2 for a short period of time before I out and it came with all kinds of new stuff. Like the jack mount by the tire and a max axe to replace the old pioneer rack. So 20 years later I am trying to setup my M1123 to have all of the accessories my old truck had. So my first...

Hello, Can anyone tell me what winch fits this plate? Is it a bolt in or does it require frame extensions/other modification. Thanks in advance!

Over the last few weeks, I have noticed several 1123's at Barstow with terrible fresh paint jobs. Some have even included fresh footprints in the paint along with painted gravel. Someone is simply masking of the gauge/lights and painting over the dirt/rust. While most 1123's go for under 10k...

So I spent a few hours yesterday swapping out my old starter by myself. The old starter worked always cold but once the truck reached operating temp, it would take a light precise hammer blow to the solenoid to start it. So I thought the solenoid was bad. So after the new to me (working take...

This could be a dumb question but I have hooked up my airhose to the handshake valve. Then Ive opened the valve next to the hankshake and nothing. I even got under the truck and followed to the line back the tank area looking for anothe valve. An I missing somthing? It there a hidden valve or...

I decided it was time to move up from the trusty M1028. I was looking at M109'a or awhile and won this M185a3 from Barstow. I won it without inspecting it. I submitted my EUC on 3/25 and got approval today, the 31st. My 1st EUC took like a month so 4 working days is amazing. Now I plan to drive...

Attempted to start my M1028 today and there was no power sent to the starter. I went inside the house and had the keys in my pocket. A short time later while I was on the phone, I heard a truck cranking. After about twenty seconds, I still heard the cranking and I realized it was my truck. I...

I went high up into the Sierra's today and it was very warm. I was worried about overheating due to the long steep climb from 7000 feet up to 10300 feet and dozens of switchbacks. The 6.2 held 200 degrees the entire trip. I learned that the switchbacks were built by jeepers and not by CUCV...

Found in my garage. Looks like a balancer?

Tore down my old 6.2 tonight for a rebuilding project. It had a blown head gasket and exhaust came out through the cooling system. First off, I noticed that on one side all the pistons were darker than the other. One of those piston looked like is had calcium deposits on its face. It came...

This one is complete including the blackout drive light on top of the headlight. Does it look mean or what?

So I got the kit the other day and it came with instructions for a two piece tie rod. Skyjacker confirmed that I have the right kit. I replace the factory shock with the skyjacker shock. I cant figuer out where/how the second shock mounts to the housing/ tie rod. Skyjacker said it goes on...

So the other day I decided to due some easy preventive maintenance and swapped the radiator. While taking of the oil cooler lines off the radiator, one of the hard lines crumbled. A hour job turned into a day project. To get the truck running until the replacement hard line arrived, I used...

I just won several 6.2's in TX and I need to know the auctual deminsions of the crate ofr shipping (I dont not trust GL). Does it have pallet holes so it can be moved with a pallet jack. Detailed pics of the crate would be appricated. Thanks in advance

I have a extra rebuild kit from MBM for the K30. I think I paid $50+shipping for it. Make me an offer if anybody needs it. I will also post in the classified section http://www.mbmbrakeboosters.com/Images/web-catalog/pages/kit50.htm

I remember somebody selling the M1031 utility bed (maybe called a M887)on ebay not to long ago and it didnt even sell. I think it was around 400 or so. I am looking for one. Who makes the bed and where can I fond one? Thanks

Does anyone have a radio mount in their pickup? Either the one that goes over the 4x4 shifter or on the passengerside floorboard. I am looking to buy one if anybody has a spare. Pics would be great of your pickup setup. Thanks

Well, I spent all day tying up some loose ends on the engine swap. I noticed that where the green glow plug wires on the passenger side come out of the loom (under fuel filter), there are two wires (org/black and grn) also coming out and into a female wire connector (cant find in TM). What...
