So, I've been thinking about the best way to make sure that a deuce is a reliable daily driver. I'm trying to make a 'To Do List'. Because I don't know the history of a vehicle that I buy, I usually replace all the fluids as a start, but this heavy equipment being 50+ years old, and not knowing...

I hate to necro a thread, but I did WMO in my CUCV.... and I figured I'd share my results. I'm going off of memory from about a decade ago, so I might be remembering things a bit wrong. I used random oil from friends, that comprised mainly of 5W30 and 10W30, along with ATF and my own 15W40. I...

Just an FYI, the Solargizer is a desulfator/maintainer, NOT a battery charger.

Charge the battery asap. A discharged battery left discharged will be permanently damaged in short order.

Also, off hand, anyone know which line on the trans, and trans cooler, are in/out? I'm trying to flush and check for flow restrictions. Thanks.

I've been tearing through the TMs, and MULTIPLE times, I go to look for a part, and it shows, let's say, 1-12 parts labelled in the figure, but will only display parts 6,7, and 8.. Look in the index, and same thing. This has happened numerous times, and it's driving me insane. I can't trust...

Can an improperly adjusted VRV cause a transmission to fail in short order, like, less than 5k miles?

I dunno if I should laugh, or cry. I wanna do both.

well...... :/

I would definitely appreciate some wrench turners, if at all possible.

Good luck. They're one of the rarest CUCVs, just behind the M1028A2 in terms of rarity.

Hardly. Removed the engine/trans from the wrecked M1009.

It's steel framed and aluminum skin. You can get a rough idea by looking at the curb weight of the M1010 vs the M1008 M1010 Curb Weight 7370 lbs M1008 Curb Weight (Total) 5900 lbs (2679 kg) distributed 55% front/45% rear If we assume a truck bed weighs about 500 lbs, that would...

Everything is electronic. A sensor malfunctions or fails and you'll be in limp home mode, about 20 MPH. Replacement parts are expensive. Yellow engines are expensive.

I'm looking at a 1987 M35A2... I've been told that all of the 87's were on an Air Force contract. What are the differences between the older pre-87 m35A2s? I've heard they have a knockout for landing lights, a heater, an air lock front axle, and a dual circuit brake system. Is that true? What...

I got sucked into .mil vehicles because I wanted a diesel vehicle, and kept seeing these olive drab K5 blazers go for stupid low money because some idiot converted it to 24V and put a big brush guard on it... oh.. wait.. what? 24V ? Who would do that?!. Wha... why does that look like a factory...

Like most grand ideas..... Plans changed, and I sold the truck... Between a 30ft+ truck, only 12ft of the box really being usable due to the side doors, and 5 MPG, I reevaluated. I then started realizing the XLWB was horrible offroad, prone to getting high centered, the added weight wasn't...

Grover 1512/1510, aka stuttertone.... aka fire truck horn. Clears intersections amazingly well.. The knockoffs are Wolo: Chief and United Pacific 46174 Real one is $300+, knockoffs are less than $100

It's not 6v, it is 12v, it uses the high side as a path to ground through the front park/turn bulb. So, when the parking lights are on, it's solid. When the turn signal and parking lights are on, the side alternates. Essentially, it's not wired to ground and park, it's wired across the parking...
