    New M101A3 Trailers

    So I won two fresh VSE rebuilt trailers from Ft Meade in Sept. Euc sent on 21 Sept and notified on Oct 4th that they were ready to go. It was alright picking them up.

    nv4500 swap

    I picked mine up for $350, it is one of the 93-94 year models with the 6.34 first gear. After that they changed to a 5.81 or something first gear. If you ask around you will find one. Try asking for a 5 speed out of a 1 ton instead of a NV4500. Thats how I got it for $350, he didn't know the...

    Fusible Links - 101

    How do you tell if a fusible link is bad? Obviously melted rubber is an indicator but if that is not visible what do yo look for?

    May sound somewhat noob-ish but how did you run the reverse switch? Meaning, exactly how did you wire the reverse lights? There are two wires off the tranny..what did you wire them to?

    starter relay mod problem

    It touched either the 24v supply or the 24v to starter solenoid post. I am thinking the latter because the liquid wrap stuff was burnt on that one.

    Cucv 1008

    What is the best/easiest way to get the old paint ready for new paint? If I can do that in my garage then when I get it to the guy who will repaint it for me it will save me some pizza/beer money. Do people use a particle blaster?

    SimonG project CUCV future questions

    m1009 turbo/lift buildup

    I have an M1028 and on my turbo install I had a .25" plate made under the turbo to raise it up away from the manifold and valve cover a little. It is a PIA to get to that glow plug but it works well.

    NV4500 to NP208?

    The 4wheeler mag article was something like taking a Dodge main shaft and swapping it into a Chevy early 4500. Also changing the third gear from Chevy to Dodge. And since its out, change the reverse from Chevy to Dodge. That changes the 3-4 shift to closer and then also all the gears are...
