    TMs Notebook for quick access

    The TMs are much to large to print out. Since I am a new CUCV owner and still trying to learn my way around. I thought about printing out small sections of the TMs I could place in a notebook for quick access. I have downloaded most of TMs. The notebook could be useful since I don't have...

    Hard Starting and my plan

    IP timing? This is new to me. Another interesting idea. I do suspect this CUCV is 12-18 months off Camp Shelby. So yes you could consider it fresh off a base. The previous owner did replace IP, and other repairs and sold it to me. Did he confirm timing of IP? I will need research IP...

    Hard Starting and my plan

    Matt, Thanks for your input. Where in Alabama are you? I grew up in north Alabama. Fuel pressure on IP interesting idea. Oddly, after purchase of CUCV I put it on a rack to check underneath. We found some minor oily base leakage. Without fully removing IP we determined it was coming from...

    Cooling of CUCV during summer.

    Thanks everyone for your input. You gave me a lot of ideas to go on. I like the A/C from a cooler. I could use it different situations besides CUCV. I found a 48 quart unit completely built out on Amazon for $314 with shipping. It's pricey, but cheaper than the arctic air units. Search for...

    Have you converted to 12 volt?

    I bought my M1009 CUCV with 24 volt still intact. When I purchased this CUCV I didn't want to do any major changes. Now after owning the CUCV for a few months now, I am considering a change to 12 volt. I read the PDF from REC (Roscommon Equipment Company) on converting to 12 volt. A...
