    One single local business that is incorporated or not is what I’m referring to. Not a corporation with hundreds of locations.

    Weird Glowplug Resistor Bypass Issue

    The old wiring is definitely an issue to some degree in all of them. No matter how good it looks on the outside. Corrosion from within. Old wiring, no matter what it’s installed on, at some point will cause problems. Aircraft to CUCVs. Haven't heard of a good substitute for the original...

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    OKC location is even selling all their warehouse items. Forklifts, fans, ramps, tables, pallet racks and even the chain link fence. All almost gone. Place looks weird empty.

    Performance Radiators

    Your local radiator shop can order one for you. My local guy knew exactly what radiator I needed, plus the part number without having to look it up. Had it the next day and undamaged. Box took scrapes but part inside was fine. Great price too. Considering what it was. Plus your helping a...

    Weird Glowplug Resistor Bypass Issue

    The stock system works as designed. For whatever reason, some guys convert to 12v, install push buttons, etc. If it works for them....Great!! Their truck......Their rules. I prefer the stock system. Have had a cascade GP failure due to broken tips on three plugs. Didn't discourage me one...

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

    Amazon also sells them in a box of 5. Less than $10 a box.

    Louisiana - State Flagging Existing Titles, and Registering New Vehicles as Off-Road

    While a double edged sword, having the media involved could help drastically. Showing all the help the trucks provided when storms hit. Helping LE and Emergency services, etc. Having a few (or a lot) trucks stop by the tv stations and someone(s) who is very well versed in the current LA...

    Weird Glowplug Resistor Bypass Issue

    The afterglow is to keep temps in cylinders up until sustained combustion is assured. When it’s really cold outside, engine has a chance of stalling and quitting without afterglow.

    Tire Paint Removal

    Looks like a spray paint can cap showing it’s color is flat black. Spray painting tires. Interesting.

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

    Did the blue Loctite fail to hold them? You might regret using the red when it’s time for removal. Especially in such a hard to reach location.

    Installed new Copper/Brass Radiator in M1008A1

    Thanks for the link. They only used one of my pictures. The one with the factory label with part number. The rest were not taken by me.

    Tire Paint Removal

    A lot of chemicals will break down the rubber over time. It soaks in and while rubber appears to be clean and dry on the outside, it’s is not. Slowly breaking down the rubber from within and leading eventually to failure. This was a problem in helicopter transmission and other critical...

    CDR Valve Hose

    His CDR valve isn’t the issue. Those are easy to find right now. The hard to find rubber hose is. Cucvrus will fix him up with the correct part.

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

    While rarely needed, I always buy the “E” rated tires. Except on wife’s car. Their not available. Extra belts and plys are insurance to me. Installing new set of Michelin’s on the conversion van this Tuesday. They will be E rated. They handle the heat and load so much better. Gives me...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    That trailer is a perfect match for that truck. Keep the surge brakes maintained and you’ll hardly notice it’s back there. Have you already checked bearings, seals, etc?

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    It’s not getting the trailer going. A Prius can do that. It’s stopping and handling. Chevy pickup is larger and heavier than an Xterra. Better able to handle trailer weight, but stopping still an issue with no trailer brakes. Using something as small and light as an Xterra is just begging...
