Smoking resistors? Only time I ever had any smoking resistors was when I was off road and they were wet with mud. And resistor's do get hot. When you say smoke is it light smoke or heavy smoke. Asking because I never seen them smoke more then a small bit from moisture and mud, dirt being on...

I must be the luckiest CUCV owner alive. After owning many, many CUCV's I have never replaced a harmonic balancer on any of the CUCV's I owned. I never replaced one on any vehicle I owned. I had vehicles from the 60's that had the original balancers on them. I am a firm believer in "if it ain't...

Nice weather today. I came home after work and continued on my lower barn bay project. I found a lot of good CUCV parts. I found a box with about 20 of the new E brake rubbers in it. Genuine GM. I will be posting a few items on play it forward soon. I would rather give the stuff away and have it...

As long as your ring and pinion are good I was going to suggest an Eaton locker. It will need 30 spline axle shafts but repairing what you have will be 1/2 that cost. I have a almost new center spool from a 1991 K5. That is why the I mentioned it. Good Luck...

Tell me how many you need in a PM and I will mail you some. It takes 5 - 6 long ones. I have genuine ones. PM me please.

I still am amazed on how things are mistreated when they are moved around. I would have lost my job years ago for handling material and vehicles with this carelessness. The jack was half buried and folded up. How hard is it to lower the jack?

I am amazed that every trailer chassis I see has damaged master cylinder caps and break away cable. This one was the first of 3 I have that had perfectly clean fluid and an unbroken cap on the master cylinder. Only issue is the casting ears on the master cylinder are broken off from being...

I may have missed this in the write up. Do you know there is a centering pin/bolt in the leaf springs to keep them centered and not fanning out and back and forth. Just tightening the U bolts is not going to make the springs stay together and centered. Actually the U bolts are probably over...

During my barn renovations I came across a few military tow bars. I listed them on Facebook market place. I have the CUCV style towing adapters on the one and the other is a big heavy beast that I never used. I think it is for a 5 TON. Shipping would be a killer. But it don't eat anything and...

That Mud sure does make the stereo sound better in the M1009. Cuts down on the road noise until it rains. I found the only mudhole on a 200-acre field that was being prepared for warehouses. Free WOOD brought me there. We were allowed to cut all the wood we wanted as long as we wore our PPE.

I want to tell you. I love Facebook market. I placed 10 things on marketplace yesterday and sold 12 things. The Kubota parts are a hot item. I am going to be listing some CUCV stuff on marketplace as soon as I get the last 2 shelves up and organized. I may also get a sellers account here, but I...

I was digging things out of my lower barn the past week. As I mentioned I found a boarding ladder that was in a CUCV M1008 I bought back in 1995. It was a complete truck with new fiberglass troop seats and a new tarp and roof bows. You just don't buy them like that anymore. I also came across...

Have you had the front end alignment checked on a machine that has a qualified operator? No tape measure alignment and guessing. These issues are hard to resolve with things being misaligned, out of round or unbalanced tires. Adding a lift kit and other questionable suspension modifications just...

Contact me I have a solution to the differential that won't break the bank. It will require an update to 30 spline 1988 newer rear axle shafts.

The 2 rear bolts on the corners are 3/8" coming up from the bottom flange and the rest of the bolts as mentioned are all 5/16" of 2 different lengths. The cab to roof has self aligning tapered bolts because all the caged nuts are floating in the cage for ease of alignment. You do not need to use...

As I was digging around thru parts and material, I came across a lot of nice stuff. I also found a boarding ladder that came with an M1008 I bought many years ago with a cargo cover and troop seats. I removed the cover and troop seats, and I stashed the boarding ladder in my lower barn on the...

Now let me see if I can get some organization here. The shelves are on the trailer ready to install. I found some awesome parts I forgot I had. Sharing is caring. I had the stone wall rebuilt in 1995 and that is the last time it was empty and clean. I used to house pigs in this bay, and they...

Check the pigtail at the fan switch. It may be a melted mess. Mice and Squirrells need a place to live. Coexist. Normally they only shelter in vehicles that sit around and are not driven very often. I have my barn Cat to keep the vermin under control. Smokey does a great job and is rewarded for...

However only on the hi position?

I came across a truck body that was wrecked and had this shelving inside. I was told to scrap and dispose of the body, and I removed the shelving inside before doing that. I also removed a few sections of E track to use on my M1102 trailer. Today I spent the entire day cleaning out a bay in the...
