It seems I've been having this issue for a while, it wasn't until recently and the purchase of a voltmeter that I've noticed its an issue. Long story short, no matter what I do, GEN1 doesn't seem to want to charge the front battery at speed. At idle, the truck will usually put out...

As if I didn't have enough electrical issures to deal with. . . not sure if this is normal or not. Any help would be appreciated. When I go to start the truck up, I can hear the GP relay energizing and clicking (and according to the voltmeter, sucking a lot of juice while its doing it.) It'll...

So I was outside the unit today when I noticed a strange looking trailer. The first thing I noticed was it kinda looked like a M109 deuce and a half, but . . . it was a trailer. Mil-spec tow eye and everything. I looked around for a data plate. No nomenclature, but it turned out to be a...

So the data plate on my CUCV says its an M1028. Not M1028A-anything. Just M1028. However, there were some things that were confusing me like why the truck had an NP205 transfer case (only used on M1028A1's and M1031's) . I just accepted that that was the way it came from the factory (which led...

So my odometer is reading at about 13,700 miles. Problem is I don't know if this is actually 13,700 miles or 113,700 miles. The previous owner stated that the mileage should be 13,700 miles, but I really don't have anything to back this up other than the previous title. Either way, the truck...

So I was at the shoppette today when I saw a newer looking truck with a troop cover on the bed like they had on the old CUCV's. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a newer Chevy Silverado HD crew cab. It was painted OD Green (the paint looked rather grayish) it had a brush guard on the...

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a while and I just know the deuce-and-a-half guys are going to pop in here and make me feel like an total idiot. How is it the multi-fuel M35's can run on just about anything? To me the engines sound like a diesel (can't find a whole bunch of...

I'm planning on doing a 4" lift on my 1028 using mostly ORD parts. Thus far I have ordered the shackle flip kit, new shocks for the rear, and the 4" HD springs for the front. I still need to measure and order new front shocks, brake lines, and I am probably gonna order a set of ORD shackles...

I keep having problems with tire belts going bad in my M1028. It's always the the drivers side rear tire and I always know when its going bad because the truck will start wobbling from side to side at low speeds and will start shaking badly at about 45-50 mph, which with the speedo the way it...

I'm having some problems with my CUCV. It's an 86 M1028. A few weeks ago I was going down the highway and my headlights and gauge lights starting getting dim. I pulled into the first place I could and replaced a cracked electrical connector on the driver side alternator (it was on a black...
