If anyone is near the area I could use some help getting a gen unit. It should ride in the back of a half ton truck and I just need it taken to either Laurel or New Orleans to get dropped off at one of my company locations. From there they will ship it to me LTL Freight. I of course am...

Is there anyone in Houston that knows how to apply CARC paint? I figure this is a long shot but I really need to learn how to paint my CUCV and I'm better learning when someone shows me. I have an account with Sherwin Williams so getting the problem but I don't know what kind of gun I need...

First off let me state that I have never ever worked on a vehicle's AC system. I know very little about them. However one of the things I vowed to do with all these old trucks is learn how to work on all aspects of a vehicle. So today as a Christmas present to myself I went and picked up my...

Ok I have searched high and low throught the TMs and the threads and I can't find anything about setting up the rear window regulator. I have it out of my truck and I guess when the guys at the glass place were in my tailgate they messed it up. So I'm trying to get the two gears to meet up in...

Ok I replaced all my vacuum lines and the vacuum regulator on the side of my injector pump and I'm still having problems with hard shifting. I used an AC Delco regulator and ran the line from the top to the line going to the trans and the bottom port to the vacuum pump. Now here is the...

I did a search for this and didn't find the answer to my question. I am in the process of purchasing a 1986 Chevrolet K20 4WD Suburban. It has a bench seat and a non-tilt steering column that I would like to replace. I am making a CUCV clone by the way. Anyhow I found a guy here in...

OK ever since I bought my truck I have had problems with the Gen 2 light coming on when the truck goes to idle. As soon as I hit the accelerator I the light goes off. I replaced the belts with Gates belts and they are all tight. I also had the passenger side alternator rebuilt. But still the...

We have a thread like this over on my Land Cruiser forum and I thought I should start one here. I myself am looking for a shop in Houston to rebuild one of my alternators. I've called a few guys I found just by doing a search on Google but none have seemed really all that competent.

Well I thought I had everything for my stereo install. However once I got my driver's side speaker in I noticed that the instrument panel won't fit back in with the speaker in there. See pictures below. What kind of speakers are you guys using? I'm about to run to Best Buy and see if they...

Does anyone know how hard this is? It's something I've always wanted to learn how to do and I know I can get the parts and do it a lot cheaper than taking it somewhere. I'd like to change out the gearing to a 3.73 gear and leave the gov-lock/detroit in the rear. If possible I've thought about...

Ok I have a question. My windshield washer has never worked since I got the truck from GL. The windshield wipers work fine on all speeds however and when I hit the washer tab the wipers cycle and there is a click from the wiper motor but no fluid comes out. I was looking on parts train and...

Does anyone if there is anyone in the Texas or South Louisiana area that sales these trailers? I am in need of one and haven't seen any come up on GL in a while and I'm kind of in need of one now. I have to go pick up a generator in Southern Mississippi and would like to use a trailer instead...

I figured I would check on my pricing for Baldwin fuel filters for everyone since I am a distributor for their brand. I think the cheapest you can get a fuel filter for our trucks is $13-$15 per filter. If anyone needs some I can get the Baldwin filters for $10.50 a piece plus actual shipping...

Ok as many know already I am in the process of sourcing a Chevrolet 3/4 ton Suburban and converting it into a "M1007 CUCV". I want to use the current 12v motor out of the Suburban and drop it into a FJ60 Land Cruiser. Now that leaves the Suburban without a motor. Since I need a parts CUCV...

Ok I recently changed my glow plugs and glow plug relay as I was having some starting issues when the truck was cold. It would start but only after I cycled the glow plugs a time or two and cranked on it for a bit. After changing out the plugs and relay (ACDelco plugs, and BWD relay) it...

Ok I'm wondering if anyone has a truck they want to sell off as parts that still has the motor, tranny, and at least most of the parts for the motor. I have a Toyota Land Cruiser that I want to drop the 6.2 with tranny into. The Toyota's came with a 2F and mine is not the best running and they...

Well I knew it would probably be a good idea to go ahead and change out my glow plugs and glow plug relay. The truck started great after it warmed up but was hard starting in the morning. Sometimes I had to crank and crank the truck. Let off, recycle the ignition, and then crank again before...

I was driving my girlfriend to a physical for the Air National Guard on Sunday and had some time to drive around Ellington Field near Houston. I saw what looked like their yard of vehicles that was due to go to DRMO. They had a lot of 5-tons and one HEMMT. Didn't see any trailers or anything...

I searched on here and looked at LMC truck and can't find replacement ashtrays anywhere. Mine won't close. Does anyone know where to get them?

Ok I know rear window problems have been covered, and I did search, but I'm not finding the answer to my question. First off how smoothly is the rear window supposed to roll up and down? I just had the glass replaced and when I went to crank the window down it does move but it seems like it's...
