Hi Will,
I have a digital camera that I am just breaking in and I have to read about deletion of existing images so that I can take new ones. My other digital had the capacity to hold an unlimited number of images and this one needs an upgrade of some sort to hold more memory. Anyway, I hope...
KENNY!!!!! I was hoping you would get in on this! I hadn't heard from you in a while so I went ahead and bought that thing off of Ebay that needs a total rebuild including intense beadblasting! I wrote to Green Gem about the situation and still waiting to hear back from them. I am just glad...
Water Damage to the compressor side of the unit
Well people, I just took part of the turbo down to see what I had and it looks as though I now have a static display 'C' turbo due to severe water damage to the turbine blades and interior of the compressor side of this unit. I bought this from a...
Will! Thanks for the info! I just looked at the fins on both sides and neither have been in contact with the housing. The fins on the exhaust side appear to have some corrosion but not serious. I'll call White Owl to see if they have parts - they sure helped me with the turbo gaskets! I'll...
I just received a used take-off 'C' turbo today and it looks as though it was taken off for a good reason! There's a lot of play in the shaft - I just went through the compressor side with my finger and found this out. I just want to know if there is a place that I can send this unit to and...
Is there another source for a turbo gasket set besides Saturn Surplus? They are out of stock otherwise I would have bought from them. I have a 'C' turbo coming and want to be prepared when it arrives. Thanks!
Hello MassM35a2,
I have a 1986 M1008A1 CUCV that I obtained four of the antenna brackets for a while back from a guy in Hesperia CA who goes by the name of militarysurplusparts on Ebay. He may have a few of the complete sets left - brand new with all of the hardware for around $40 - $50 each...
I don't know where Brooksville Florida is but if you look at the map of Florida, I am located on the east coast inbetween Jacksonville and Miami in an area Known as West Merlbourne. If and when you are ready for a winch for your truck, I have two spares in my garage with 200' of cable, hook...
The M1008A1 is the Radio Truck version of the M1008 CUCV. It has four antennas around the bed of the truck. Other than that, they are the same as the plain old M1008. The truck I bought from a guy in Carmel New York was the A1 model which had been demilled. I bought four of the antenna...
Hello from Central Florida! Any way to get a picture of the kit? I am very interested in one of them but want to see what these things are all about. I have an 86 M1008A1 and know it would come in handy once in a while; also have a 68 M35A2C. Do you know if the kit would also work with the...
I had to resize the Fort Ord photo to comply with the size limitations so here goes! I guess it worked this time! I was attached to the USAF Clinic Los Angeles and was invited to drive up to Fort Ord with members of the Air National Guard Med Evac Unit for the purpose of screening and obtaining...
Pictures of my Deuce
Okay, for those of you who wanted to see my truck, here's a few fairly recent ones prior to adding the canvas. This is a 1968 Kaiser Jeep M35A2C hardtop W/W. I have added Air Assisted Power Steering, full canvas, convoy lights, new tires and several new data plates. I am...
Hello 4 Star General and thank you for responding to my inquiry about the straps. I have not heard of WeeBee webbing so you will have to let me know where they are located. I notice that you are in CA - we just returned from San Jose a week ago where we visited my fiance's daughter. We also...
I am looking for a source for the small cargo cover straps that bolt to the bow curves and are used to hold the sides of the cargo cover up. Several months ago I bought two of these from and auction on Ebay and should have bought ten! Does anybody know where I can obtain eight more of these...
I would love to have one of the wrenches too. I went quickly through the posts on this thread and probably missed to mailing address or contact information so I'll leave my phone number in West Melbourne Florida: 321 427-3070 and my email address is abroadbent@bellsouth.net. Hope to hear...
The Rotella 15-40 is in the truck
Lee, thanks for the info regarding burning the SAE 30 oil as fuel. I should have known better than to put it in the crankcase to start off with considering how thin it was; it was also clear with no trace of yellow or any other color for that matter. At first...
Tractor Supply SAE 30 Standard Non Detergent Oil
I want to thank all of you who responded to my inquiry about the proper oil to use in my truck. I inquired about the SAE 30 Standard Non Detergent oil at the 800 number listed on the 5-gallon oil container and spoke with a Tractor Supply (TS)...
Lee!
Thank you so much for the very useful information! I plan to convert to Rotella next time I change the oil. I too am interested in the spin-on filter system and may purchase the parts necessary to convert my truck to that as soon as they become available. I like the part where the oil...
Thanks for the quick reply! I want to convert to the Shell Rotella next time I change the oil. Our local Sam's Club has it in the 55 gallon drums as well as by the case. Since I have not changed the oil in this truck, I had a question about the two drain plugs, one in the front and one in the...
