    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    All the tires finally showed up. Took a while. Just replaced the torn tire today since I ran out of time. Rest will be done tomorrow. Posted part numbers and info about the rims since I had them apart.

    S-280 Shelter Door Pics Requested

    Just before it was moved to final location and hooked up. The missing hold down on the door vent was installed right after this pic was taken. The small a/c that I installed did a great job of keeping it cool. Big Thanks to SS member CUCVRUS my door was restored back to its original glory...

    headlight and horn, M1009 advice needed

    Your doing it right! Tackle one thing at a time and do it right the first time. As for the fuel hose under the manifold, I can’t answer that. Mine had been replaced by the Military shortly before I bought Truck.

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

    I’m not exactly sure. Unless there was a small crack that I didn’t see when I first got Truck. Small crack was made bigger by engine vibration. Gasket is used between manifold and filter housing and wingnuts always tight. I did just replace all the injectors, which smoothed out the idle...

    Black Out Light Replacements

    I use mine often. On a dark night with eyes acclimated, the BO light is more than bright enough to drive around and not hit anything. Even used it on a less traveled county dirt road and it was just fine. Not smart, but fine.

    tailight gasket available?

    Good luck on finding the gasket by itself. Probably will have to buy another assembly that has gasket. Weather striping cut down works in a pinch also.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Had to install a bolt in the surge brake lockout hole. Haven't received new surge shock yet and needed to use trailer today. 3/8” x 4” Grade 8 bolt and nylon locknut. Longer than needed but worked. Definitely a difference in stopping without trailer brakes.

    In need of some technical assistance , m1028

    It will say DOT 5 on the container. Most shops won’t have it. It is more expensive but worth it. I buy mine on amazon. It is NOT compatible with others. Have you replaced your rubber brake lines, front and rear? If their original they need replaced regardless. They can cause issues and...

    In need of some technical assistance , m1028

    Did you get Truck at surplus auction or private seller? Some guys try and “improve” Truck/systems and just make things worse. Usually much worse. Mileage really means nothing on these as just sitting for years takes a steep toll on everything rubber, etc. There are several things you...
