In light of the massive flooding I'm currently riding out here in north Houston I'm revisiting my earlier thoughts on buying a 5 ton to get me out if need be and help others if needed.
I have had a few CUCV's in the past so I understand the TLC an older military needs and I'm also fairly...
Trying to stay within the rules so if this is out of line please let me know and I will delete. If your in need of a NOS military grill for the above mentioned 73-79 truck there is 1 for sale on a large auction site at a great price.
So today I finally get a chance to work on the 1028A1 I bought a month or so ago and I'm not sure what to make of this. I new the batteries were crapped out so today I put in a good set of batteries and think today she will run again but wrong. I turn the key forward and the WIF and Water in...
Anyone ever charged a fee? According to Govplanet im supposed to have it picked up by 5-23 a Monday. The veritread work order says Monday or Thursday appointment only 48 hr notice. My selected carrier says its Wednesdays only from 9 to 12. A truck problem kept him from making it today which...
I have a M1028A1 at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland 21005 that needs to come home to Houston TX 77373. Truck supposedly doesn't run and apparently there is no key but if there are other cucv's on the lot I don't see why the lot attendant would let someone borrow it to unlock the wheel and get...
Does anyone know of vender or place that has the s250 shelter tie downs? I'm needing the rear 2 points that mount in the end of the bed nearest the tailgate.
I was greasing my 1028 today and finally went and purchased a needle nozzle so I could get the fitting on the constant velocity joint near the tcase. The lube order if im looking at it right shows a fitting for the front prop shaft slip joint near the ujoint closet to the front diff.
Is this...
Anyone have any idea what size lift this truck may have? How about the tires and wheels? I really like the looks of this truck and would like to try and replicate it
tried a search but only got 1 result for a 1009. Anyone have a good how to for servicing/greasing the front hubs/lockouts on a 1008/1028?
I would like to pull mine down and clean and grease but don't want to get in over my head
Today I go out with plans to drain and replace the fluid in the trans and t-case on a 1008 I have been nursing back to health and I got a nasty surprise from the t-case when I pulled the drain plug. It was empty so I scratch my head and proceed to pump in some ATF only to have it come right back...
Is cavitation an issue with the 6.2 like it was with the Ford 6.9 and especially the 7.3? I remember hearing of a lot of 7.3's that became victim of it but I have never heard of a GM 6.2 having this problem
Why do these not really seem to crop up for sale? Is it because they are still too new?, not that many ever made unlike the original CUCV or just a legality problem?
Ok as some of you may remember I posted about a truck (m1008.) I bought that had sat for 3 1/2 years without being cranked. In what little spare time I have I have replaced the battery's and some missing cable's and pumped out the fuel tank, replaced the fuel filter and glow plugs, poured a bit...
In my quest of learning and getting my basket case M1008 running I realize before starting im actually missing the whole resistor bank from the firewall and the wire that would normally exit the resistor to what im assuming is the relay is actually hooked up the diamond. Why would this have been...
When I purchased this truck it was missing 2 cables. The 1st is the cable from the front battery pos. post to the rear battery neg. post. The 2nd cable I figured out is missing is the cable from the rear battery pos post to the firewall bus block. I believe the red wire that runs from the...
