Hand Vacuum Pump Brake Bleeder Performance Tool Automotive Tools PTW87030 (etrailer.com) I have the Mighty Vac. I will give this a whirl tomorrow. Thank you. The chain and long 2x4 sounds like a good idea also. Take Care. Rest time.

Check out these Energy Suspension motor mounts. M1009 Little Red Riding Hood. | Page 10 | SteelSoldiers I am rebuilding an M1009 in my barn. Winter weather and life have slowed me down. I plan on getting crannked up here very soon. Spring for sure. Take Care and good luck. Post some pictures...

(1) 1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked. | Page 18 | SteelSoldiers Check out this thread. I have some really good tips on changing the oil cooler lines. Do it right the first time. I have had a few sets of oil cooler lines that need a minor tweak to sit correctly. And remember keep them...

I repaired the severed wiring harness, removed the military trailer plug and put a 7 round in place. I eliminated all the wiring that I don't need and maintained the 4 wires only. I found I need 1 new LED amber and base. I ordered a new lamp and base online. Earlier in the week I located 2...

Anyone has any tips on bleeding the trailer surge brakes? I will be learning tomorrow, I guess.

I was out most of the day. It was like working on the polar ice cap. Very cold and icy. I was not toasty warm, but I was fine. I never broke a sweat. This a great day to bring in the wood and fix the trailer wiring. I used the TM to narrow done the wiring codes and eliminate all but the 4...

I think I am going to be taking back my statement about the trailer frame not being grounded. I am alone and with the severed wires, cold and ice I am struggling to do the wire trace myself. My Son is coming over and then we will get it done. Being alone is a lot of up down slipping and sliding...

I was out this AM as soon as the sun came up and attempted to use my jump pack to check the trailer lights. I think I am safe to say that the trailer chassis is not ground. Or maybe it is. I will figure that out later. At 4* I had brain freeze. I came back in to have breakfast and report in...

Idles better too. HTF would the fuel filter make it idle better? That is a BS statement. A friend told me that if I put a K & N air filter in my truck it will gain 20 horsepower. Yea right. I said it would gain 40 horsepower if I run it with no air cleaner. He said will it really. I said NO and...

That has nothing to do with the dash /luster lights. They are and always were 12 volt on a CUCV. Only thing 24 volt was the starter. Good Luck.

OK. I guess so. But you still need to figure out your tail lamp wiring issue before you install these lamps.

Take a steel 5 gallon bucket and burn that stuff off in the steel bucket. That is if it will light. NEVER contaminate any fuel intentionally unless you like working on things. I had 330 gallons of diesel that someone poured DEF into and the dealer drained both tanks into a tote. I burnt thru all...

It is not my truck. But the stock CUCV exhaust manifolds did not have gaskets. And a word of advise. If they are not leaking do not mess with the exhaust manifolds. They are good if they are not leaking. Same as the intake manifold. It has no fluid in it and unless you are going to change the...

That is contaminated fuel. This is how the inside of your fuel tank looked on July 5, 2021 when I had it out to change the sending unit. The minor sediment in the bottom of a 36 year old tank looks great from here. I can see straight thru to the bottom of the fuel tank. That stuff you have in...

This is Mad Cow Disease with the LMC LED taillamps. Also with 24 bolt HMMWV wheels and no lift kit. 1984 M1028A1.

Maybe. Maybe I just scrap it and forget it. I see no use for it. But I did think maybe it is to place the jack wheel on the front. Is that the winning answer. The TM says nothing about it. Have a Great Day.

OK. What is a spacer, jack used for? It is mounted on the left side of the drawbar behind the main A frame. A rectangular steel piece with a round fish mouthed pipe bolted to the frame with a 3/8" bolt and a long thing spacer to span the fish mouth. I cannot figure that one out. Do I need it...

Today it was mild and semi dry outside. I went out and had a goa; to discover what wheels would fit in place of the HMMWV 37" run flats. I don't need them big heavy wheels and tires. I used my hi lift jack. That made it easy. I tried a 1987 16"Ford F350 wheel I had. It fits but is not hub...

I had Western plows on CUCV trucks. I never had to remove a front sway bar. I still have the plow mount from Big Red M1008. Oh, the Horror. All good things must come to an end.
