    Need help Identifying where my CUCV came from

    The driver’s side indicates ALPHA COMPANY, 3rd platoon, 3rd vehicle. The passenger side seems to indicate 145th Infantry but it seems to be incomplete. On the passenger side of mine it has 1 I 299 (First Infantry Division, 299 Brigade Support Battalion). Driver’s side has B 7. BRAVO COMPANY...

    CUCV crank NO START troubleshooting and questions

    I have experienced the swollen glow plugs. When I had swollen one in hummers on active duty and on my M1031, my removal tool was a wrench that just fit over the threads of the glow plug so I could apply outward pressure on the glowplug while backing out the plug by threading it out. Once the...

    M1031 with Mac self regulated drippproof synchroniousnous alternators

    Sir, I am in the process of replicating b4thundr’s controller. I have not been successful at reaching him as of yet. I have a controller and programming cable on order. I have the connectors. I could really use the wiring diagram. I can probably figure out the programming once I have the diagram...

    Central FL M1031 project

    I had to take the truck to a local 4wd shop to have the backlash reset in the rear differential. When I pulled the rear diff cover off earlier last year it was full of a water and oil sludge. I pulled the diff entirely apart, I do not have the skills or the equipment to set the backlash. I did...

    Connectors with pins, wedgelocks, and boots came in today. I have also ordered 16 guage pins for the actuator wires. The pin removal tool and the crimper have also arrived. I have ordered the controller and the interface cable from the Netherlands. Waiting for tracking info.

    Central FL M1031 project

    Special thanks to cucvrus, the pop rivets in the mirror stems works great! The hi/lo beam switch and the wiper switch have also been replaced. This morning I did some rivet repairs to the work box, the floor where the torch tanks sat was very bent up. A little work with the floor jack and...

    Central FL M1031 project

    Yesterday was a good opportunity to get some work done. I have properly reconnected the park circuit on the wiper motor, cleaned all contacts on both sides of the bulkhead connector, created a new harness with weatherpack connectors for the aftermarket washer tank anp pump, and replaced the...

    Central FL M1031 project

    Made an unscheduled trip to Alabama this week. I had some down time today and found a salvage yard that had 3 squarebody trucks. Only one was available as a parts source. It was a 350 gasser but I found the electrical connector that I have been needing for the park circuit of my wiper motor. I...

    Are there tips and tricks to get the side mirrors to stay in place?

    Good to know. Thank you!

    Are there tips and tricks to get the side mirrors to stay in place?

    There is a plastic tube. I have tightened the two bolts as far as I dare, the mirrors still move when the doors get closed and sometimes just from the wind going down the road.

    Windshield wiper link assembly

    The wipers still seem slow - it may be time for a new motor…

    Are there tips and tricks to get the side mirrors to stay in place?

    I have tried tightening the bolts clamping the tube for mirrors, I have changed mirrors(first set had distorted glass). I cannot get them tight enough to not move when a door is closed. Help please.

    Windshield wiper link assembly

    This evening I got it all back together and working properly. I had to engineer the two connecting arms together so I had a good connection to the wiper motor and I had the correct wiper pivots. Now I have newer wiper arms with j hooks as well. Now I just need to find the connector for the...

    Windshield wiper link assembly

    So, I have ordered a total of 3 wiper link assemblies from LMC. 2 ( 36-4044 )of them had the correct arms to connect to the wiper motor but the pivots are too short. 1 ( 36-4046 ) had the correct pivots but the motor side connector was a rubber pop-on that does not fit the wiper motor. Has...

    A new (maybe) Gen 1 light question

    Did some poking around in the fuse panel today. I removed the diode for the horn relay, unrelated to the GEN1 light. Horn seems a little louder. I did find that the blower motor/Gen1 light fuse is/was melting. I cleaned the contacts really well and put in a new fuse. Hopefully that, and having...

    A new (maybe) Gen 1 light question

    Light goes full bright when the key gets turned off. When the alt stops turning the light goes out.

    A new (maybe) Gen 1 light question

    It is very dark outside… but the gen 1 light still comes on very dimly when the blower motor is turned on. I just went through my copy of the schematics in color that are posted on this site. To the SS member that created those, THANK YOU! The schematics in the TM fail to show you where the gen...
