I've been wondering since I heard about EMPs could they disable the ignition on our CUCVs? The rest of my cars have early point/cap/rotor ignitions... would they be safe? Lastly, Would the alternator diode trio be ruined?

I replaced my 6TLs with the group 31. The first thing I had to do was build new cables for them. Bought the 31 type connecting lugs. Heavy duty welding cable and military red/black shrink tube to dress the connections. They looked sweet, BUT when using a standard nut to tighten down the cables...

+1 on the nuts diagnosis. If there is a leak in the windshield gasket, it will most likely be rotting the window frame (rust). Rain will get in and present itself as it drips from inside the front pillar. Get in there with a headlamp and look for water residue. The real giveaway is if there is a...

Agree with the masses. My Blazer shifted late and hard. I replaced all vacuum lines, the trnx modulator and cleaned up the IP crystal ball. It makes all the difference for a small amount of work.

I wonder if I drilled a small hole in the block off plate and plumbed it with a small petcock. That way the warming/expanding fluids put pressure on the air pocket and I can open the valve until fluid runs out. HMMMmmm.

My my M1009 came up with a busted P/s pump bracket. I lost some antifreeze during the R&R. Now I fear there is a bubble sitting under the sender. It's an aftermarket gauge sender placed in the passenger side head bung, you know the one one with the block-off plate that can be used for a real...

I apologize in advance for not having snapped a bunch of pics here. Saturday morning My p/s pressure hose was leaking at the pump. Lucky for me I was near my brother's house. He brought fluid while I dove under to tighten the seal. At his house I noticed it was still leaking. Pulled the pump...

I spent a lot of timje and money trying to figure out my starter problems. My 09 came with a 12v where there should have been a 28. I ended up going through three starters and when I finally broke down and bought a WILSON I thought that would be the end of it... it wasn't. My starter needed...

Heya Nut, I draw deer tags for Beaty Butte, Whitehorse, or Trout Creek often, but also range to Grayback and Soda Mountain, Cascadia, and other wild hair locales. Have you been hunting since moving up here?

Just discovered the last of my Treadwright Guard Dogs recaps going flat. I bough four of them a couple of years ago, and replaced them as the retreads started to separate. This last one (driver front) looked pretty good at the time I replaced the other three for tire separation, so I tried to...

yes, now that you mention it.

Feels like it's under and towards the rear end, but I can't be sure. Anyways, I am not sure what to look for, it was happening before the U-joint at the rear axle failed and was replaced. What could this be?

After a couple of years of slamming doors to get them to latch completely, I finally replaced the strike bolt, and I am pleased with the result. I have to say that on a scale of 1-5, this job is a 2.5. It is easier if you don't run into trouble with the floating retainer inside of the jamb that...

I've found a couple of places on my '09 where odd screws were needed. I ended up spec'ing them at 7mm. The problem was that they were not stock at any of the usual places. I finally found some at the farm store.

I noticed that the left turn dash lamp was on when I pulled my headlights on. I posted about this before, and read threads on it that others had started. For no conscious reason I wiggled the turn signal lever and flipped the hi-beams on... some wehere in there the left turn lamp normalized and...

cellophane. Can I get a replacement?

M1009 Passess Oregon DEQ smog test... Well. let me rephrase. I drove in. He checked my Odometer. He punched in my VIN and asked me for the MONEY. There was no test whatsoever. I not bitching, it's just that if they don't give a ****, why don't they charge less?

New B6 Oil Filter and 7 quarts of Mobil syn 15W40 in my Blazer. I have to root around for the fuel filters I stocked up. I hate that. I have to go to smog it tomorrow. Wish me luck.

You'll have to forgive me. I don't read all the forums here. Usually just the CUCV one. I hadn't seen it mentioned HERE and thought if there were others as narrowly focused as I, that they might like to hear about it. Since the HUMVEE seem to be closely related to the CUCV I though of this...

Army selling Humvees to the public for the first time — but there's a catch 3 days old article. I just read it. Tell the kids Santa is not coming and empty out the savings.
