I never followed the Lube order on using ATF in steering boxes. I learned this while working at the GM dealership. I know the fluid is basically the same but when working on customers brand new under warranty cars and trucks we used PS fluid in PS units and Dexron in automatic transmissions. I...

Duralast Power Steering Gear 7524 (autozone.com) I would use this $165. option as my go to. I have used several and never had an issue. I know plow trucks are hard on steering boxes. I would not torment myself with taking and old steering box apart and reinstalling it only to have it fail...

You done good. I see no mention of a lifetime warranty. I like most warrantys that I don't have to use. But it is nice if the situation arrises. Merry Christmas.

WOW someone really went wild with the red paint. That cowl rust is more prevalent then most people realize. You are doing the right thing stripping everything out of that cab to do the blasting and repaint. I see guys painting entire cabs with the seatbelts and glass still attached. What a waste...

I have had the misfortune of changing starters, transmission cooler lines, U joints and drive shafts out in the frozen tundra while laying on my back on the polar ice cap. It happens. It needs to be fixed and the faster you just apply yourself the faster it gets done. I would recommend anyone...

I said this before. If you have the starter out and you know nothing about how long it has been on the job. take it to a professional rebuilder. I never wait for complete failure of anything. most times it is going to fail in the farthest and most in opportune time that can be imagined. I always...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/forums/present-conflict-vehicles-tms.119/ Please check out this forum. I think they will be able to supply you with an answer to this issue on the LMTV. This is the good ole CUCV site. Happy Holidays.

https://www.ato24.de/en/blog/which-coolant-antifreeze/ I would say use ORANGE coolant. That is my opinion. I see they have that as an option. So G13 gets my vote. It will work. Happy Holidays.

Comfortable ride with a CUCV. Yea I had a few. I was using my 2019 Silverado and tow barring CUCV's behind me. That was comfortable CUCV experience. CUCV's and comfort are oxymoron. Now CUCV and hard use and reliability are true statements. Happy Holidays.

The starter only seems to grind when you have the key on Lets hope it is not grinding with the key off. But there is no operator error. It should not grind. It's like anything else a little grind here and a little grind there and eventually you have an expensive item that requires a lot of time...

That starter was only on there for 1 weekend at Trucks Gone Wild 2017 Yankee Lake Ohio. I drove less then 20 miles and wore out all 4 wheel brakes.

This is a grounding issue. It could be a defective headlamp switch. But the under the dash courtesy lamp on a CUCV is activated by completing the ground. You do NOT have door jamb switches as a stock item. Look for a screw into the wiring, pinched wire or other alterations to the stock wiring...

Sounds to me like 1 thin shim. But I had this issue back in the dark ages and I did find this post that was helpful. Not the same post but basically the same information. Shimming a starter (thedieselpageforums.com) Make sure you have a good starter and the bendix is operating as designed. I...

Sometimes your nuts can be this tight. This guy either staged this or he has a lot of confidence in that 3/8" ratchet. looks like a new Harbor Freight. ICON do it. Named by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Happy Holidays.

The camera man had his truck parked to the left after failing to pull the truck out. He said "That's 'NOT going to pull it out" My co-pilot egged him on with the stock tires and no lift kit. I gave a good pull on the Bubba Rope and out it came. I purposely drove towards the cameraman. He is a...

Looks like it has the original patina. I see CUCV's like this all the time and they advertise that it needs minor work. Happy Holidays.

You have received good sound advise. But yes that bottom cover does supply support when it is bolted in place. And if you are concerned with the condition of the one you have used ones are available. Good Luck and Happy Holidays. Let me know if you need any parts.
