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

    Glad that you are alright! Was the A/C compressor an "add on"? Why no brakes? No emergency brake either? Again, very glad no one was hurt!

    M923A2 Doing 80 MPH!!

    If I wanted to go fast? A MV wouldn't be my choice. Like others have said, cause it will doesn't mean it should. One mistake, not necessarily yours, and someone is gonna probably pay the amount due, somewhere/somehow/and it probably won't be cheap.

    How to measure BIG Voltage

    To me, experimenting with "high voltage" is a lot like playing Russian roulette with a semi-automatic pistol. One, just ONE mistake, and you become a new form of potato chip or beef jerky. I would prefer to let the professionals handle it. I don't believe experimenting with "high voltage"...

    My M715

    That's a wicked looking truck, but don't know if I'd call it a M715 any more. More like a personal creation. Curious as to the giant hook at the rear? Purpose? Thanks for sharing

    Alrighty then, installed the new gauge today between service calls. I "Love" being on "Call",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,not! Oh well. Install went well. Gauge is a 24v gauge off of popular auction site. It even has a light! Which I never had before, so that's a plus. Reads just fine, and that'll ease...
