    Empty Weights

    I shipped them and they weighed 5900lbs. empty. Add troop seats and roof bows and it gets heavier.

    re-using a torque converter

    Really a $69. rebuilt torque converter and you are going to risk the whole job? Spend the coin and move on with confidence and not doubt. There is more than $69. worth of ATF in that transmission. Any job worth doing is worth doing right the first time. Money is a tool. Use it wisely. Good Luck.

    CUCV Turbo 400 transmissions

The HD is the bottom half of the bell housing is threaded with M10 bolts for the lower flexplate/ flywheel cover. I have bought new TH400...

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

    Get the bolts and washers out of the clamping plate and retain them. What about up on the frame the clamping clamps? One on each frame rail up front. I have the sway bar. Get back to me about the retainers for the sway bar. Again take some pictures.

    1987 m1028 cucv

    I agree. I was doing the change to avoid the corrosion and failures on the plow truck. After spending a few times up under a plow truck at -10* in a snow pile doing in line splices I decided this was the better way. So far I have it on 3 plow trucks and have never had any issues. These trucks...

    Meet Mr Rusty | Page 13 | SteelSoldiers I had people on this site say they wouldn't hold up. They said the heat was to high. I prevailed and 3 years later they still look the same. Granted I haven't done any interstate driving but pulling wood trailer and plowing snow in my world creates more...

    Meet Mr Rusty

    Mr. Rusty has been serviced and released for another year of hard work. And YES the hydraulic hoses I used as transmission cooler lines still look like the day I installed them. High and dry. I ran them over top of the transmission. Meet Mr Rusty | Page 13 | SteelSoldiers

    Windshield wiper arm

    SSDVC I thought I gave you that tool. I used to buy them on the Snap-On truck for like $8. and give them to friends that had the cowl screen all chewed up from using pry bars and screw drivers to remove the arms. WTF. The truck in the picture was repainted and they did not even bother to...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    Mr. Rusty has returned. I have him here for annual maintenance and Mr. Rusty rusted more over the past year. Mention was made by a friend that they would like to have this truck and do a frame off on it. I looked at him and said GOOD FLUCKING LUCK. I had it apart 7 years ago and the frame was...

    Sounds like a misfire please help!

    Did you try to move the injection pump to the driver's side 2-line thicknesses? You have nothing to lose. I thought it was crazy and I done it on my M1009. It ran perfect.

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

    I have a stock sway bar if you need one. I hope they saved the brackets and did not torch the bolts out of the clamping plates. If they did I have them also. Time to liquidate. 1 piece at a time.

    The job is done. I had a friend that had a friend that had these marvelous tools. In 10 minutes I had all the lug studs/bolts off the VW. After that I was Fahrvegnugen. But I quickly came to my senses and recovered from that illness quickly. Take Care and have a great day. My Son is going to do...

    CUCV Radiator Replacement

    I sent you a text early this AM. I will check out the list of parts you need. The transmission cooler lines can be repaired. If they cut them at the radiator I would cut them back a few inches and use a double flair connection splice, new line and new flare nuts to attach to the radiator. I am...

    CUCV M1008 wobbling. Help needed

    GMC Ford Dodge Chevy Dana 60 70 Alignment Kingpin | McBay Performance I spoke with a freind about this years ago and he said that the wobble was not caused by caster camber adjustment but toe in and out. And also loose steering linkage. He is the man that gave me the insight to the issue and I...
