WOW yesterday was like Christmas all over again. I received my order from LMC and still have more parts on the way. I was happy with the parts I received and in my experience the after-market parts quality has improved over the past 10 years. I was happy to see that all the parts I ordered were...
I found the perfect song for a CUCV owner that is filled with troubles after purchasing a CUCV that has been hacked.
Since you came into my life
It's the same old situation
Empty days and lonely nights
Filled with bitterness and frustration.
Walking lonely in the cold
Trying to find the...
Last night was not very productive. I pulled out about a half dozen stock used windshield and rear side glass rubbers. I handpicked them and soaked them in cleaner. The cleaner they got the worse they looked. I am not using any of them. I will send them to the crusher in a wrecked car. I didn't...
That was a good deal. I paid $400. for a NOS filter going back 7 -8 years ago. It was a complete assembly brand new in the box. A vehicle I sold went to Indiana and the customer loved the truck. He paid the bill and lived happily ever after . The End
I think they wanted to lower the cost and still have a one ton truck that was capable of carrying out the intended duty. The CUCV was never intended to be a combat vehicle. It filled a time when other purpose built vehicles were being developed. HMMWV as an example. They didn’t even include the...
I would swap another lockout into the hub and see if you have the same slop. It could be it was loose for a while and wore into the aluminum hub assembly, but that big PITA snap ring should be in place and tight. I have lots of OEM hub parts if you get in a bind. Be Safe.
Against my will o was forced to use this fuel filter. Something failed in the original style during snow removal. I told them I have an alternate filter but would NOT install it. I think I made out better. I gave them this filter assembly and they gave me the stock OEM one.
I came home from work and decided I would experiment with my wing vent window. I drilled the rivets out and looked at my chrome vent handles. I have a new GM one and a used black one. I think I am going to put the chrome ones in only because that is what it had from the factory. I must work...
I just made an order with LMC for over $1K I was able to order everything but the side glass seals on the cargo top. I never replaced them and my glass guy that I have been working with for the past 30years begged me to use the old ones. He hates aftermarket glass rubber. I C also ordered a new...
I used fuel line and slipped it over the entire glow plug. I packed the fuel line with dielectric grease and they lasted for years like that. I done that on CUCV plow trucks that were plowing and salting. Before I did that I I N was replacing connections and glow plugs every other year from...
