    Get a lower radiator hose NOW, you will not be able to find it in stores, and it's different for the M1010 than it is for K series because of the lower belt for the second alt. If you get the one from the store, it will hit the belt..... ask me how I know..

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

    I have those. They're junk. No ability to aim the beam, it's a flood that blinds people and doesn't put a lot of light on the road. They have knockoff Trucklite models, you'd be MUCH better served with those, and have a more OEM look. Either of these would be a MUCH better option.... NOT...

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

    LED lights draw significantly less power and produce significantly less heat. So little heat, in fact, that most will not produce enough to melt ice/snow from headlights while driving. Worry not. Whoever told you LED lights will heat up/burn wires are $%&$%% idiots and should be ignored...

    *NSFW* mild language https://youtu.be/SGrdXGzJZc4?t=45s You'll see how gently they drive, and how low their center of gravity is... They have 1000 gallon tanks and 100 gallon foam tanks. Those alarms you hear are the tilt alarms, advising the apparatus operator that the vehicle operation...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Water is 8.34 pounds. 8.34 * 750 gallons (Just a ballpark)= 6255 lbs... Not bad, right? Wellllll Water is dynamic, not static... Any turn, change in velocity/momentum, angle of attack (hill), etc will cause a lot of force to go in some direction. 3 tons doesn't sound like much. but wait...

    Got shafted. Long story short.... Went to get brake fluid flushed 3 yrs ago.... Les Schwab promised they'd use DOT5... Had to take it back 4 times for squishy pedal. FFWD (rewind?) to last month, I replaced a caliper that I realized had seized and in bleeding noticed dissimilar fluids...

    What's your best 'that was dumb' moment involving your 5 ton?

    I let my batteries sit for too long, drained them, didn't bother checking them and just hooked up the indentured servant cable from my CUCV to my M934... Bad idea....all 4 were completely shot.... Well, one of my alternators was on its last leg, so it gave up the ghost.... but I didn't find out...

    Technically it is supposed to be illuminated, but an argument could be made that it was manufactured without them......

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

    I used L brackets underneath my truck to attach my plate, but I had an M1009, M1010, and M1031, a little diff than an M1008. I would also look into the legality of running vanity or 'period correct' plates, I'm lucky enough that my state law is worded as such that I can run a green USA (Armed...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It's to get you down the road, or out of the mountains/desert/whathaveyou...Not a permanent fix. I carry spare hoses/belts in my M1031, but it doesn't hurt to have..

    They make emergency wrap, holds to 400 PSI or some such nonsense. You wrap it around and squeeze and it turns into a rock hard sealant. I always keep a couple rolls handy...
