As you can see in the picture, I have cut the rear crossmember from my M1102 generator trailer. I have also removed the jack/stabilizer from a donor M1102 generator trailer. One can only imagine the horror that these poor trailers endured at the DRMO. I was able to realign and straighten the...

Sometimes you get involved in more projects than you need to. I have a lot of friends and they know me as the fixer guy. I changed the floor out on this flatbed Chevy for a customer. I went to a local sawmill and bought 1 3/8" Red Oak rough cut lumber and put a new floor on the flatbed. That...

Yesterday I had a customer drop off his M1028 and he said he cannot get the ATF fluid to read on the dip stick. He was afraid his transmission was low and in reality, it was over full about 3 QT. I pull the dipstick and show him that it was broken off. He said he just had a local garage change...

Copper nickel alloy gets my approval too. I have used this stuff on salt spreader trucks that the frames rusted thru and the copper nickel brake line were still in place. They were exposed for 10 + years. Go figure. The frames on a CUCV pick up like to rust thru right at the front and rear axle...

I never seen the point of using stainless steel parts on a steel frame and body. Exhaust is even going a bit far. But it ain't my vehicle. I had an M1009 that had a complete SS exhaust system, and it was great, but it was on it when I bought it. It never wore out as long as I had it.

I think I have a small brake tube for the rear anti lock rear brake system on the CUCV trucks and cab chassis models. Brand new GM. I have made a few. The one side is a metric flare nut and the other is standard. I have a few of the height sensor valves and linkage also. But just for the record...

That video is useless for a CUCV. Do as you wish. I have attempted several times to disassemble a CUCV steering column in place. Trust me on this. It is 100 times easier and more rewarding after reassembling to have the column on a work bench and clean as you go. There is a lot of crud and I...

That piece you pointed out is the fast idle solenoid. It is activated by a sensor on the right rear head. That sensor also advances the injection pump timing during cold start and cold fast idle time. Your glow plugs should cycle on and off during the cold start to help assist with emission...

I think the throttle shaft seals are leaking but from what I am hearing you say the injection pump is sure to need some repairs. I would recommend getting it rebuilt. It makes a huge difference in the drivability and reliability. Many guys dance around taking the step and in the end it is...

Like anything else you buy everyone has an opinion and most that sound off are negative. I have used https://dieselcare.store/ for many diesel vehicles and equipment. I may have had 1 incident that I had issues with. The vehicle was not running when it came to me. And after I discovered the...

Next you need A/C in the back. Hot and sweaty is no way to enjoy wine tasting. I work for a winery over the summer. http://www.parenfaire.com/flavorfest.html Take Care.

25. Do you need a tank also?

I think all wine tasting CUCV's should have a boarding ladder. Just saying.

You can replace that switch in the column. My last few times of having a column apart have been a great success. The key was to remove the entire column and place it on a flat dry surface and work on it. do NOT follow you tube where they tear into it and I never seen them put it back together...

OK. Now I understand how the front clearance lights get cribbaged / smashed on every M1102 generator trailer. I fixed all mine and went out in the big world to crush stones. I went off the road in a light wooded area and when I came out the right side was smashed flat from a sapling that caught...

ssdvc your batteries are living on a hope and prayer. Low amperage is hard on starters and CUCV's in general. It only cost's a few dollars more to go first class. WOW. I seen the price that people are paying for these CUCV's on GovPlanet. Crazy man crazy. Marketplace - 1985 k5 Blazer | Facebook

A true survivor.

My upgraded CUCVRUS JR hood ornament. Going thru the deep water was no problem. I had a rock between the front axle and rear axle and was stuck. No problem when wheeling with a 5 ton. Have a Great Day and enjoy the Spring weather. Finally. I just hope it stays around now.

But what does the area behind the tire at the rear corner post look like now?
