    overcharging batterys

    You aren't running a big 12 volt load off of one battery are you? That will also cause an imbalance.

    Help ! Getting 24 volts in my 12 volt system !

    RE: rear battery That just means you need to go to the next higher level of manual. You can't just start with the highest level manual because it will usually assume that all of the lower level stuff has already been done.

    overcharging batterys

    The first thing I would do is measure the voltage across each battery. If it is less than 12.6, I would slow charge it. Once they read 12.8, I would start the vehicle and measure it again. You should see less than 15 volts across each and they should be about the same. A sudden high...

    Current repeat EUC times

    I was wondering what other regular buyers were seeing on their EUC time. I bought my 4th truck this year. I sent the paper work in 4 weeks ago. It went to battle creek 3 weeks ago. That is 15 business days. My first three took about 10 business days. I noticed someone got theirs in 7 in April.

    Overpriced CUCV's in Northeast?

    This thread seems to be treating all CUCVs as having the same value. It has been my experience that trucks bring about twice as much as M1009s of comparable condition on GL at least until you get up to the extra nice ones were the trucks seem to be worth at least a 1000 more than the1009s...

    My delima

    I question that I have been thinking about that I don't know the answer to is: Is there any advantage to owning a 1967 vs 1983 from a legal standpoint. i.e. were the later model truck exempted from any EPA, clean air act or safety laws that civilian trucks of the same weight class had to meet?

    M715 and M800 5 ton Installation Kit Stuff

    I was told at a convention that 47 and 53 are the inside and outside mount for a deuce. It would make since that it would fit any of that family of cabs.

    Way too much $$$$$

    I was thinking hobbyist dealers like Joe Young, not re builders like Memphis equipment.

    Way too much $$$$$

    Looks like full retail to me. I would expect it to be offered by a dealer with a good reputation before I paid that much. Should include fresh fluids and a going over by someone who knows about this type of truck. 2cents

    Bad Alternator

    Actually, the starter button shouldn't have worked if the accessory switch isn't working. You are going to have to do some more trouble shooting before you start replacing parts. Do you have 12.5 volts across each battery with the motor off? If not, you will need to recharge them before you...

    Bad Alternator

    Could be the power switch.

    Parts??

    RE: scrap I don't think you have to have your buyers actually fill out an EUC, you just have to tell them they can't export the item and you have to record the name and address of the buyer. Of course, having them fill one out would accomplish both.

    Mil. Spec. Cannon plugs

    I got my catalogs today. Have to say they look pretty good. Even has sections on the tools to use and how to put them together. Thanks again.

    Parts??

    Most of the parts are the same demil code as the truck and cannot be exported. The only way to buy the truck without an EUC is to buy it as scrap and have it mutilated on site where no parts are usable.

    Experimental Deuce?

    Kenny, did 7202 get it or was it too rich for his blood?

    Poetic Justice !

    The lesson here is to pay and get a bill of sale signed before you move a truck. You may think you know someone well enough to take "a man's word", but in this day and age it doesn't mean what it used to.
