Honestly it has been my experience that they were from a 1983 350 gas engine. I was told by a reliable source that the prototypes were 1983 and the military approved the build. I always questioned that because 1983 has the dimmer switch on the floor for the headlamps and the wipers switch on the...

That is where the tweaking comes in place. And instead of putting the bolt from the clamp back in the manifold bracket I threaded a bolt from the back side of the manifold gasket and then slip the P clamp on the stud I created. Then it is a simple flat washer and lock nut. Sometimes you have to...

They do not operate in the Gen 1 Gen 2 positions. You are correct they do not excite the circuit. Speaking of an excited circuit the 1987 CUCV M1028 that has been a slave to labor here for the past 10 years has always had a Gen 2 idiot light issue. Mainly it never lit. It would charge every time...

Hand Vacuum Pump Brake Bleeder Performance Tool Automotive Tools PTW87030 (etrailer.com) I have the Mighty Vac. I will give this a whirl tomorrow. Thank you. The chain and long 2x4 sounds like a good idea also. Take Care. Rest time.

Check out these Energy Suspension motor mounts. M1009 Little Red Riding Hood. | Page 10 | SteelSoldiers I am rebuilding an M1009 in my barn. Winter weather and life have slowed me down. I plan on getting crannked up here very soon. Spring for sure. Take Care and good luck. Post some pictures...

(1) 1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 18 | SteelSoldiers Check out this thread. I have some really good tips on changing the oil cooler lines. Do it right the first time. I have had a few sets of oil cooler lines that need a minor tweak to sit correctly. And remember keep them...

I repaired the severed wiring harness, removed the military trailer plug and put a 7 round in place. I eliminated all the wiring that I don't need and maintained the 4 wires only. I found I need 1 new LED amber and base. I ordered a new lamp and base online. Earlier in the week I located 2...

Anyone has any tips on bleeding the trailer surge brakes? I will be learning tomorrow, I guess.

I was out most of the day. It was like working on the polar ice cap. Very cold and icy. I was not toasty warm, but I was fine. I never broke a sweat. This a great day to bring in the wood and fix the trailer wiring. I used the TM to narrow done the wiring codes and eliminate all but the 4...

I think I am going to be taking back my statement about the trailer frame not being grounded. I am alone and with the severed wires, cold and ice I am struggling to do the wire trace myself. My Son is coming over and then we will get it done. Being alone is a lot of up down slipping and sliding...

I was out this AM as soon as the sun came up and attempted to use my jump pack to check the trailer lights. I think I am safe to say that the trailer chassis is not ground. Or maybe it is. I will figure that out later. At 4* I had brain freeze. I came back in to have breakfast and report in...

Idles better too. HTF would the fuel filter make it idle better? That is a BS statement. A friend told me that if I put a K & N air filter in my truck it will gain 20 horsepower. Yea right. I said it would gain 40 horsepower if I run it with no air cleaner. He said will it really. I said NO and...

That has nothing to do with the dash /luster lights. They are and always were 12 volt on a CUCV. Only thing 24 volt was the starter. Good Luck.

OK. I guess so. But you still need to figure out your tail lamp wiring issue before you install these lamps.

Take a steel 5 gallon bucket and burn that stuff off in the steel bucket. That is if it will light. NEVER contaminate any fuel intentionally unless you like working on things. I had 330 gallons of diesel that someone poured DEF into and the dealer drained both tanks into a tote. I burnt thru all...

It is not my truck. But the stock CUCV exhaust manifolds did not have gaskets. And a word of advise. If they are not leaking do not mess with the exhaust manifolds. They are good if they are not leaking. Same as the intake manifold. It has no fluid in it and unless you are going to change the...

That is contaminated fuel. This is how the inside of your fuel tank looked on July 5, 2021 when I had it out to change the sending unit. The minor sediment in the bottom of a 36 year old tank looks great from here. I can see straight thru to the bottom of the fuel tank. That stuff you have in...

This is Mad Cow Disease with the LMC LED taillamps. Also with 24 bolt HMMWV wheels and no lift kit. 1984 M1028A1.

Maybe. Maybe I just scrap it and forget it. I see no use for it. But I did think maybe it is to place the jack wheel on the front. Is that the winning answer. The TM says nothing about it. Have a Great Day.

OK. What is a spacer, jack used for? It is mounted on the left side of the drawbar behind the main A frame. A rectangular steel piece with a round fish mouthed pipe bolted to the frame with a 3/8" bolt and a long thing spacer to span the fish mouth. I cannot figure that one out. Do I need it...
