My understanding was that once that item/system was surplussed out, that restriction no longer applies. I know the site rules apply to current and active restricted manuals. Including old systems no longer in use, but not released for surplus.

Yes it could be glow plugs and it could also be something else or a combination of things. The CUCV TMs have a troubleshooting guide to help solve issues, including it not starting. A search of the old threads will help as the issue has been discussed many times. DO NOT spray ether unless...

The local National Guard Maintenance Facility here only has the bigger LMTV, etc. tires and the HMMWV tires. They can, if you have a great relationship with them, dispose of a used set to you, but the ones I’ve seen you wouldn’t want. The Departments around here have a great relationship with...

The worst the corporate guys can do is say no. Sounds like a VFD pancake dinner to raise $$ for new tires might be in order. We always attend them here locally whenever possible to help out. See if your local PD/SO can spare any. They usually have access to things the fire department does...

Just make sure their E rated. Like mentioned, tons of opinions about tires. As far as getting a set donated? Only you can answer that since you know the local area businesses and their attitudes towards supporting the Fire Dept. with free items. Some businesses are better than others and...

You can request it through the Freedom Of Information Act. It will take a VERY long time, if ever, to get it. I’m still waiting for a publication for the NF2D Light Tower/Genset. It’s been over a year. Hopefully someone on SS has a manual or access to one.

Post a picture of the plug needed. Civillian Aviation uses a lot of that type with completely different part numbers. If you stop by a aviation avionics shop, they can probably match it up. Then simply wire it as needed. I have done this multiple times.

The M101A2/3 is the best overall trailer the Military used, in my opinion. I have had quite a few Jeep owners ask me where they can get one. The trailers are tough and the surge brakes are wonderful when properly restored/maintained. Plenty of examples on SS that show how guys made the...

I will be doing this.

Highly recommend you buy the ACDELCO or Delphi Pump. I initially used a cheap one to get truck running and it lasted a whole two weeks. Replaced it with a ACDELCO pump and no issues since. That was over three years ago. The pump is an absolute pain to change and anything to reduce the time...

Just installed a new acdelco water pump and Hayden fan clutch on my daughters blazer. The Hayden fan clutch was made in USA Electric fans are great, but I will stick to the stock setup for the CUCV. Good info on the amount of spin provided by Ken.

Remember that when all those electric fans are running, there is more power demand on the alternator, requiring more engine horsepower to turn it.

My S-280 is extremely well made. Would love to have about 10 more. They will last a lifetime when taken care of.

Search the old threads. A lot of guys have done some amazing camper/expedition builds with these trailers. Very ingenious ideas to utilize the space available. Some use the S-250 shelter and others build their own. As mentioned, the trailers are WAY overbuilt and can handle a lot more than...

Legs should be available commercially at any heavy trailer shop. Just swap the feet. Croft Trailer should have something that heavy duty. www.crofttrailer.com If you take it apart, do it slow and take pictures to help In reassembly. Busted gear pin or stripped gears are usually the...

One thing about the S-250/S-280 shelters, rarely do you see two that are identical to each other.

I used that in my Duramax and didn’t notice any improvement. Tried their oil additive also. Seafoam works the best for me. Whatever you use, always good to keep the fuel system clean.

You need to update your location info to reflect that. Site rules require it.
