The search started with you Ken_86gt. Read up on a similar issue you had chimed in on and the relative age of these vehicles. The simplest things are sometimes the least obvious. :-)

Had the thought the other day about what tools would one or should carry with the CUCV's in the event that they let us down in the world.

I went with a solid axle. Here are some pictures:

I can't stress enough about using the TM's to diagnose electrical problems. My problem that I have solved, included the running lights/turn signal issue. Specifically, the turn signal being on (continuous) when the running lights are on. Well first, thought it was a bad ground and consultation...

Having to wait for the weather to clear before I can get to this. Never fails when you get something new. Been reading up on Spring Hill electrics and rebuilding the alternators. Not to difficult though. Have a pretty good electronics store here in Reno that carry the isolator washers. Will get...

Hey Welcome Aboard! Lots of Information and Support here to help you with your new hobby! What CUCV do you have?

Yeah, the GV is nice and helps out the 6.2. Not really looking to build one. My neighbors are all interested and here in Reno everyone avoids her like the plague on the highway, the looks are priceless! Don't wanted to give a bad image though. The kids love it! So it gets the parents to take a...

The previous owner installed a Gear Vendor, so the highway speeds are more rpm friendly.

Check the u-joints as well, while your there.

After a long search, I have got my M1028! Want to thank everyone on Steel Soldiers for the dialog and information in helping me decide on this vehicle. I hope to contribute information regarding the continued use of these vehicles. Now if I can find out why the Gen 2 light comes on at 60 mph...

An option over having new springs made.

Here is one source I found: http://www.springhillautoelectric.co...d&productId=13 There is also detailed info on diagnostic and repair in the Technical manual.

Try again: CUCV Altenator rebuild DOC

Try this: Can't think of the vendor off hand. A couple of days ago there was a thread on rebuilding alternators. Even rebuild kits to convert to gear reduction.

Hey Arizona! Keep us posted on your project! May be getting a 1028 this week so thanks for the ideas!

If you have a good axle repair shop or even a truck stop, will have the pins I am talking about. They usually are high visible with that plastic coating on the grab handle. Usually red, the pins are held in place with just a standard slip clip like those on the hitch pins. Real easy to install...

Data plates have that dimension. Use the search, one will come up.

What class size is that hitch, 3 or 4?

Welcome Aboard Ben! Lots of help and a huge amount of information and experience here to help with your new hobby! Enjoy the bug that you are about to catch!:-D Tye
