:ditto: Its the same for the sides. I roll them all up for parades. Its nice to have a top over the passengers to keep the sun off. Most of my riders are elderly and I seem to have a full load, compared to the other trucks without the top. The younger "riders" like no top. Its winter now but I'm...

A buddy told me last we the issues involved with going the "home made" rout on trailers. The Laws changed some time last summer. It is a real PITA now to do. He passed on getting a boat trailer without title and told the guy to just scrap it. In his opinion it was not worth the agravation. The...

Looks to be a good mod, Thanks for sharing. Did you drill some holes in the bottom so it will not fill up with liquids?

I know the M1101/M1102 cover is not as long and is wider than the M101 trailer's cover. The uprights I think are round tubing and not the rectangular wood/fiberglass,steel as on the M101. You can get the M1101 cover to go on to the M101 but it does not look good. Also the rear flap on the M1101...

I finally was able to locate the prints and take some pix of the backing brackets. I know its been awhile. Been real busy keeping the job and trying to pay the bills

If the main power switch is left on and the air tanks lose pressure (which most do after some time) then the low air busser will go off until the batt's are dead. If thats the case ether recharging or replacing the batt's could fix the no start issue, until the swich is left on again with it not...

The blinker unit that sits on the drivers side fender (little black box with one plug connection) on my m35a2 had a broken ground. The wire was broken inside of the wire casing, the wire that goes from the plug to a gounding piont on the fender. It looked good from the out side but after doing a...

They move everything with fork truck at Ft. Carson. The staff is normaly willing to load onto your truck. The only thing is getting though the gate on post. Have a copy of your invoice to show and some times they bring out the mirrors (to see under) and mite ask you to step away from the vehical...

Looking at the position of the service light switch the batteries may be dead. If you look at the operators manual for the cucv's the switch should be in the off position (center) when the vehical is not in operation. On the m1010 there is a solinoid that will drain the batts if left in the...

When my unit got the cucv's back in the day. The motorpool made aluminum board key fobs for all of then with no desination for any of them, until the orderly room got all of them for issue. I asked the motorpool Sgt. about this and he said the powers to be desided all cucv's have the same key...

Snafu

I think every time someone complains about an issue with the site, the one that is working on an "improvement" looses some motivation in finishing the task. I know if I were working on something and herd "are we there yet" one more time, I slow down just to erk that person. When the same...

The 2 1/2 ton is for offroad. My data plate basicly says on road is double. I thought the same was true fro the 5tons, so on road would be 10 tons. Am I wrong?

Cops have issues with normal civilain trucks not having the rear plate lit up at night. So, they think that all cucv's fall under that criteria. As those who own the cucv's know it can be a PITA to add the plate on the rear let alone add the light to it while driving at night. I am glad here in...

The GP manual is clear and very informitive. A must for all who have CUCV's. step by step guide to trouble shooting the system. I was one of the first to get the manual and the card and was very impressed with the quality.

GL has no actual procedure to count over 10. Although I'm sure some have figured out to remove shoes to go higher.

1stSarge, Thank you for going down this road and for all the info on your manual.

This is an old thead. anyway, Budman67, the first 2 1/2 tons had a sprag in the transfer case to help out with engaging the front axle if there is slip between the primary drive (rear axles). So if you were in snow or mud and the rear axles started to move more than the front axle the sprag...

Cucvnut, your right.

I know, lets follow all the rules and not post anything that might or could be used in anyway to help out others that just might be having the same issues with finding stuff for our MV addiction. I think this site would only be left with "you bi_ch and they bi_ch". I agree with persons...
