Picked up a set of Grote LED taillamps with Grote brackets. They were on a chassis that came in for a body. They had a special grounding wood mount. All the wires were all blue and the brackets were new. Someone spent some time, expense, and effort to make this light bar. I disassembled it and...

I may have some 16.5 rims. I had a Dodge 880 rim or 2 and a few Ford 16.5 rims if you are interested. Not expensive in Jonestown. But shipping gets expensive.

In lieu of placing a rubber hose on the peg of the switch we could all learn the real cause of the issue. If it is a throttle cable lets correct that issue. If it is the accelerator pedal lets replace it with the correct one. Putting makeshift repairs and add on parts does not correctly resolve...

I used 4 ply fronts and it was a great firm rattle free ride. The springs I bought were Dayton springs.

Back from the road test. I need to purchase or fabricate a hitch that is the right height. The hitch I used was too short and made hooking up and unhooking a task. The jack will not go low enough. I have the other hitch, but my wiring was too short. So, I either lengthen the wiring or raise the...

Last night after a HOT day at work I was torn between sitting in the A/C or working outside. I decided NOT to mow grass as I was alone. I worked on my trailer project. I need to get it completed and get it up to the vehicle enhancement shop so I can get a title for it. I reassembled the hitch...

I have a pile of the firewall resistors. I bought everyone I seen for sale in the past 20 years. I was told they were an issue. After 27 years I never had one fail yet but I always had extras and still do.

Once again I found no help here on this site. I found the answer myself on the surge brake shock question. I took an operational trailer surge brake apart and discovered the shock to be the same condition and operational. I went and researched the shock and found the answer on Google. How the...

I used the Stihl saw tool as the push rod to bench bleed the master cylinder. It worked great. The cylinder all bled and attached to the trailer by the hose. Done for the day. Does anyone know if the small shock is supposed to be extended and have pressure or it just pulls out and stays out...

Today after work I had a short time before I was going away with the family tp eat. I thought I would assemble my master cylinder and bench bleed it. The cover was mangled. I have the new one but decided to hammer out the old one and challenge my skills. Everyone can add new parts. The real...

Are you certain that it is power steering fluid. And did you use power steering fluid. I always use power steering fluid. I see guys use ATF and that is not what came from the factory. That is not as thick as Power steering fluid. Another thing that I noticed is that the new brake master...

With out words. Just letters.

Dialog from the movie Platoon (1986) [King is writing a letter to his girlfriend] Francis : It ain't D-E-R-E, it's D-E-A-R. And "Sarah" ain't got no two R's, King. Damn, you dumb! King : It don't make no difference. She know what I mean. She don't read too good nohow.

Understanding Fusible Links ~ The One Wire That Will Save Your Car! (roadkillcustoms.com) I just buy a short Help link and butt connect it in place. Auto parts stores have the fusible link wire. Good Luck.

1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 4 | SteelSoldiers Check out this thread. I have part numbers in the text. Good Luck. Get new springs all around it is worth the coin.

You have 2 indicator lights lit in the dash cluster? That indicates a dead bulb or a bulb that is inoperable. If I had to guess I would say the front turn lamps are not connected properly, ungrounded, or both lights are dead. Check all that out. I can tell you these old trucks can be a Royal...

I seen them engine bracket kits before but NEVER on a CUCV. Not sure what the point would be. Did an engine fall out? I seen many of the frame flange stiffener reinforcements. They were not on the earlier model CUCV's. It became standard about midway thru the 1985 model build year. I still have...

I added a new LED license plate lamp and riveted it fast to the rear tube. I have all the wiring in place and secured. Next, I loaded some scaffold into the M1102 trailer and hauled it to a job site. Busy, busy. I have the trailer listed for sale and if it doesn't sell, I will use it and need...
