Hey let me know. I have some really nice ones that look perfect on the Kubota's. I have the B/U lamps on a toggle at the rear of the light. All the lights work and I have the amber flashers still hooked up and the turns on the LED's. It lights up at night real well. I have a strobe for the roll...

The Twelve Days of Christmas THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS LYRICS [Verse 1] On the first day of Christmas, some bonehead sent to me A CUCV with a lift kit. [Verse 2] On the second day of Christmas, some bonehead sent to me Two twisted driveshafts and A CUCV with a lift kit [Verse...

I have heat in the barn. Today was my goal to go get the 4 new leaf springs. Goal met. I was able to work a full day and get to the spring shop before 4PM. All new U-bolts washer and nuts. Side by side comparison of old rear springs verses new. My 220 lbs. can easily compress the old. The new...

Are you into breaking things off? My Brother used to make everything Bull tight. He broke off more bolts and fittings then the entire family combined. Everything has a breaking point and that bolt has evidently met its. Use a square easy out and tap it in lightly. Get smaller wrenches and know...

Strange as it is they made the fuel filler cap all huge and the neck fitting going into the tank is the same size as every civilian fuel tank that was ever made. Nothing impressive about the fuel fill system on a CUCV. You can fill up at he truck island. Happy Holidays.

Scary. This same thought came to my mind when I read convoy lights. I was the group leader in the micro bus. Imagine that? Happy Holidays. You wanna give me a 10-9 on that?

Mad Texan I have a new set of LED tail lamps for the rear of your M1010. Get back to me. They are the same exact duplicate design as stock M1010 lights but in LED. They have the LED B/U and the LED plate light and plate bracket. Get back to me. You were a Good Boy and Santa is feeling generous...

What are convoy night lights?

Converting it to 12 volt is not the answer. Do you have Gen 1 and Gen 2 idiot lamp when you turn the key on? That is where you start. i just had a plow truck converted to self exciting voltage regulators and now the lights don't have to work and the system charges as designed. Converting...

Very nice job. I never done any harness updates except the circuit breaker and the addition of Truck lite LED head lamps. Truck-Lite 5x7" LED Headlights (27450C) LED lights I TRS (theretrofitsource.com) They are a bit pricey but they are worth every penny. I have had them in every CUCV I owned...

I don't have it in front of me at the moment but the leg that has power serves 2 circuits. Check me on this. I eliminate 1 and put a circuit breaker in. The other which from memory is the brake lights I add an inline fuse. Everything should work. But double check while you have the bulkhead...

Prices are going up steadily on CUCVs. Unmolested stock ones are getting harder to find and bring the most cash. This is an absolute fact. I seen many all jacked and hacked. Reminds me of a Three Dog Night song Want some lift kit on your CUCV? Oil in your fuel? What's all these crazy...

I answered this headlamp issue in the other post you inquired about it in. You have a melted 30 amp fuse circuit half way up on the right side of the fuse box. An inline fuse is needed to replace that circuit. That leg of power in the fuse box serves the brake lights also. Check it out. Good...

The leaf springs will continue to break without any shock absorbers attached to the suspension. That jolt is going into the springs full force. And if they are lift kit springs they are more than likely made in India or China. And I have had experience with lift kit springs. Mostly removing them...

I have been using the tried and true A C Delco 13G glow plugs since day one. CUCV's that I buy and service when they leave they have the 13G glow plugs and the resistor back in operation. It never failed me and I used them harder then anyone else on this site. This M1009 started when all other...

I used the CUCV M1028 again today to clear out parking spots for cab chassis. I made an observation over the years that a cab chassis has more traction in forward then it does in reverse. I wonder if that is designed into the axle wrap on the springs. All the trucks chassis I move are helpless...

I think you have a stuck delivery nozzle. It may also be a glow plug that snapped off. I had one digested thru the engine at about 60 mph and it took 30 seconds to go away. I didn't know what happened until the next day when the truck did not start after the glow plug light went on. I pulled all...

I am sure you all heard of 24 hours at Lemans. That is an endurance race at it's best. Well I just completed 48 hours at Wabash. The CUCV M1028 salt spreader truck ran thru 6 full shifts plowing and spreading salt and cinders. I was the user for the last 8 hours and I checked all the fluids and...

Make sure the thermostat is properly seated in the flange groove of the manifold. I seen them slip and get tightened with the flange not seating. I would removed the entire coolant manifold and replace the small coolant gaskets on the heads and clean and file the thermostats housing as...
