    Remote brake fluid reservoir

    I see it's a popular mod and makes perfect sense. I've spotted a couple universal reservoirs itself for like $20 on amazon, but I have some questions. Normally, the MC reservoir is vented to atmosphere... Now, if you get a remote reservoir, and the reservoir now has a vented cap, that means...

    M1009 LED Problems

    Yeah, that was 2016, and that is pretty much junk now.. The issue with some LEDs is their construction, only using resistors instead of a voltage regulation circuit (usually PWM). The other half of the issue is the wiring in the CUCVs and similar chevy trucks of that year range. They don't...

    M886 Conversion?

    No reason why you can't. It's a 3 spd auto with a 318 gasser. The only thing is, parts are nowhere near as available as they are for a square body chevy. I actually prefer the cabover portion of the 886 because the extra room. Crawling through the access door on the M1010 is a PITA.

    Anyone titled/registered a truck through the mail, in TX?

    I think calling the tax office is the best game plan. 3 states, 3 different ways to title/register a vehicle/get a license.

    Anyone titled/registered a truck through the mail, in TX?

    I'm potentially looking at relocating to TX. I'm looking at titling a vehicle, and placing it in a trust. I don't wanna pay tax/title here, just to turn around a couple months later and pay it again in TX. Before I moved to WA I was able to title and register my vehicle in WA, despite being...

    guij

    I've used TC-W3 and swear by it. I've seen first hand what it's done to quiet engines, to run smoother, etc on both the NHC250 and 6.2L Detroit. Optilube is supposed to be highest rated, and I believe that it's better than TC-W3, as the data supports it. However, due to cost and availability...

    Air assist issues

    Sounds like a plan. When it's not 110* outside, I'll get on that ;)

    Air assist issues

    I was thinking the same thing. From what I've seen, they're sealed, non-serviceable units... But, there has to be some way to fix it... other than buying another one.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Dumb is an understatement. The pintle hook and bumper attachments aren't rated for the weight, you have no brakes, and the rear axle isn't designed for that kind of stress either. I'm the last person to think .gov should be involved in things, but this is definitely one of those situations...

    Air assist issues

    I'm having some issues with air assist, and I'd like a second opinion. I can turn the wheel right, and I'll have full assist. If I turn the wheel LEFT, I not only have no assist, I feel like I'm having to fight the steering wheel to go back to center, like it wants to stay right. Thoughts?

    5 Ton CDL?? (Indiana)

    You need a new subagent. They don't know what they're talking about. It doesn't have to be registered as commercial. Another member had to deal with the same crap with his deuce a number of years ago. If it's registered commercial, you're screwed, because they'll start sending you notices...

    5 Ton CDL?? (Indiana)

    Not exactly true. Each state has its own laws. Some require more advanced licenses based on weight, length, trailer size, air brakes, etc. While they may not require a CDL, you may still be required to get a Class A or B NON-CDL, instead of the normal Class C. It's basically the same CDL...

    It's not a competition, we always win. :mrgreen: And, apparently you're missing the emojis.. It's an indication that it's meant to be a joke, lighthearted, you know, just playing around. Don't take things so seriously. You do you.
