    Ebay Aluminum Radiator Installation

    Plastic and aluminum CU850, in a warehouse in Jersey for the poultry sum on $1700.:sick:🤮 Come on SSDVC it's paltry not poultry. That just makes it sound fowl the way you worded it.

    Remember that old rusty M101 parts trailer I had. It relives in a different form. The center frame section is the m101 trailer frame and the dead give away is the small D rings. I am so happy that this piece was repurposed. I also gave him the set of LED lights to repurpose. This young man...

    Fuse block mystery

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects | Page 17 | SteelSoldiers I have completed this job many times on melted fuse connections. Once I completed the in line fuse replacement and I had tight connections the problem went away forever. Good Luck.

    How well do the brakes on your cucv work?

    I researched this and this is what I found. Duralast Remanufactured Brake Power Booster 52-7248 (autozone.com) This is listed for the K5 Duralast Brake Power Booster 52-7307 (autozone.com)This is listed for the K30 So I guess they are different and when I ordered parts I just ordered them for...

    Ebay Aluminum Radiator Installation

    “The Bitterness of Poor Quality Remains Long After the Sweetness of Low Price is Forgotten” I explain this as to why I use Line X as my interior liner and why sometimes money is the only tool to get a job done correctly and the sting hurts at first but the infection of poor quality can be fatal...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Today after work I needed to locate some D ring tubes for an M1009. Over the years I have misplaced things, but it all works out. I just keep finding things. This is the 4 tubes with extra parts attached. All separated and the front brackets that I had powder coated 20 years ago. The parts on...

    Refreshing Gunny the thread.

    I think the horn works on grounding the relay. Like the power is there all the time and the button completes the ground. Not 100% sure. Electrical is my weak area. I know enough to get by and am happy I know that much.

    How well do the brakes on your cucv work?

    I may be wrong but the only difference between the 2 hydro boost assemblies is the flanged bracket that mounts them on the firewall. The military NOS came completely assembled in a box/foil wrapped. I looked them up and they were the same part number without the mounting flange. I used them on...

    Broken Starter Bolt

    Do you have the starter support bracket in place. That support bracket is one of the most important parts on the starting system.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    We have all had days like this. I started out putting my tools away and as the day went on other things came to mind. I did get all my tools put away and the shop floor is swept clean. Then I thought I would try and find a few inner front fender nuts; I know I have them but where? I dumped out a...

    Broken Starter Bolt

    The thread size you have listed is correct. Metric is correct. Just get 6.2 diesel starter bolts and use an SAE washer. Just 1 washer or if you are lucky, you will get flange bolts.

    Did the horn blow after you jumped across the relay connection?

    Does it blow if you jump across the relay?

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I was out early this AM trying to beat the heat. I had 2 cab mounts left from the kit and then it struck me. They are for the radiator core support. I changed them. They were easy since I had that core support off 25 years ago and replaced the hardware at that time. I used the big green pry bar...

    It is 2 of them. I had them for driveway ornaments and was tired of weed whacking around them. I think you need them up in Connecticut. I know someone else needs them. I had a thought of putting the wheels on an M1009 and styling.

    I have decided that after seeing that rough M1009 and also seeing the price of parts for the older trucks I am going to spend the time and money getting the 1986 OEM M1009 frame sandblasted and painted. I am sure I will find a buyer for it. I have it sitting here since 1999. It arrived as a...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    My Son got that for me as a Christmas gift. I never need anything bigger than that. If I do I have other issues. I fixed a lot of bent stuff with that bar. It is a Snap-On I never ask what he paid for it. I had a prybar I made, and he never liked it because I was always slipping off with it.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I mentioned that the caged nuts for the rear bumper outer brackets are lost with the new Energy Suspension body mounts. I am fine with that; I just upgrade to 1/2" and hold the bolts from the hole in the rear of the frame. I had the brackets powder coated 25 years ago. Bolt placed in from the...
