    m1028 duallies -what were they used for

    Sounds like your saying that’s the one to me. The info that someone told you that was it would have been helpful. Too bad they didn’t have up close pics showing proof it’s your truck. That would be really cool.

    m1028 duallies -what were they used for

    That is a pic of several CUCVs with other vehicles. It’s impossible to determine if one of those is the one you own.

    m1028 duallies -what were they used for

    You will be lucky to know the last unit the truck was assigned to if you can read the bumper numbers. Some guys were very lucky and had some paperwork inside the truck when they recovered it. Usually some maintenance records. You have extremely rare examples where a truck sat in a cave it’s...

    m1028 duallies -what were they used for

    A lot. Everything from Air Traffic Control to MPs to Artillery to ??? You would need a time machine to know them all. That’s why rarely do you see two shelters the same. Every unit had their own special requirements for them.

    Some annoying starting issue

    Recommend you Replace all the cables like mentioned. I installed a new battery lug connector on one of mine a while back. When I cut back the almost pristine insulation several inches, the wires underneath had corrosion on them. That affects the current flow. Age is hard on wiring. It...

    Just go to rockauto.com and do a search for the harmonic balancer. 1984 Chevrolet K30 Acdelco still makes that balancer. Mine was marked “Made in USA”. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,1984,k30+pickup,6.2l+379cid+v8+diesel,1053021,engine,harmonic+balancer,5512

    Add Trans Temp Gauge. Where to Locate Sender?

    I installed mine in the pressure port. Works great. It probably isn’t as accurate as one installed inline a cooling line would be, but it’s close enough. Oil pan temps are almost spot on with gauge, using a infrared temp gun. Over three years now and no issues.

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

    Welcome to Steel Soldiers Maybe a quick question but definitely not a quick answer. This isn’t the thread for your question. Start a new thread in the CUCV forum. Also suggest you download the free Technical Manuals available on this site as that will have a troubleshooting section...

    New to me M101A2 toy

    You are going to absolutely love that trailer. The best overall trailer the Military ever used, in my opinion. www.crofttrailer.com has all the factory parts for the surge brakes. HydroAct and Dexter/Redline. When properly fixed and maintained, the surge brakes work great and will last for...

    M101A2 shock replacement

    Looks like the 32283s are discontinued. Some are still on eBay. Figures. Find something that works well and they quit making it.

    Trailer Towing Question: USAF H-1 Heater Trailer

    Glad to hear recovery went well. I agree that Murphy would have shown up if you towed it. Always seems to work out that way. Just start a new thread in Aux Equipment for the bringing it back to life updates and info.
