Like mentioned, it really depends on what your going to do with it. I've seen an FJ with a heavy trailer that really squatted the rear, to the point of the FJ having steering issues. Hauling heavy items with a high center of gravity and that 4" off level will definitely matter. But if your...

What was he going to do with it? Drive it and wreck it and never admit to taking it in the first place?! With No respect for someone's property, they would be no friend of mine. Harsh yes, but he didn't tell you up front when you got back. Its not like he borrowed a chainsaw.

Always cool to find stuff like that

I've changed out several in other trucks and it's usually fairly easy. Cooler lines are always the hardest part. The new style radiators don't bother me a bit. Those hold up very well. Will order new one regardless. If original can be fixed, great. If not, I already have new one ready to go...

Well I now have to tackle all this since my original radiator has decided to start leaking. Cap side at bottom right at core/tank junction. Yes Hose clamp is tight and wish it was that simple Will take to shop first, but will most likely have to go this route. I swear it started leaking...

Like I said....at first glance. Glad its genuine. A lot of wannabes out there.

Welcome! Its a bit unusual for a department to change the grill and bumpers, etc. They don't spend any funds unless they have to. Is there a data plate on the drivers side door jam? Doors get swapped a lot and at first glance, yours looks like a regular truck that had the drivers door swapped...

You will need 2, preferably 3 spares with you. Good spares, not worn out ones that can still hold air. AH Gravel Rocks are killer on low tread tires. New ones also. Everyone I know that has made that drive has needed every single one to make it to the next place for repair/replace. If you do...

You will need several spares. The Alaskan Highway will eat several. Tire plug kit and air compressor are essential. Plus All the normal road trip items and some spare parts, extra oil and a spare fuel filter or two. Fuel cans etc. Belts, fuses, bulbs, road flares, flashlight and extra...

At the most, you will only get snapshots of its past service/unit history. With the exception(s) already noted in this thread, you will NEVER know its full life history.

This has been covered in detail several times. All the part numbers and bolt sizes are included. I bought the longer bolt and large washer for install and it worked perfect. Installed a new ACDELCO HB and it's been flawless.

Read the CUCV helpful stickies and old post in the CUCV forum. Also download the Technical Manuals. Most of your questions will be answered there. Good luck and Welcome to Steel Soldiers.

Nice collection. It's always nice to be able to use them.

Bingo! If I'm not in a hurry for parts, I use Amazon. Two of everything is always a good idea. Been doing that myself for a while now.

I really like that color. Would you PM me the paint code please?

No sweat. Just trying to help.

What were you doing when that happened? I've seen here on SS guys take a large, heavy gauge flat washer and just weld it in the center. Looks pretty good when painted. Also have seen a large Grade 8 bolt welded across to prevent rod from popping off rubber. Worked fine, doesn't look very...

I think about this thread topic every time I drive my M925A2. They all look great so I think I will work on a retention method instead of replacement. Heavy gauge flat washer welded in center most likely. There isn't much lateral force on these so that should be fine. I've seen several...

Buy a ACDELCO or Delphi pump. The pump is not fun to change. It's not hard, just a PITA. I used a pump the parts store had in stock just to get engine going initially. Typical no name china junk. Pump lasted a whole two weeks. Replaced it with ACDelco and it's been trouble free for almost...

Where are you tapping into the engine for the pressure reading? You might try a different location (oil sample port) and see if any difference. Agree on new quantity gauge. ISSPRO, VDO, AutoMeter are all great gauges. Sounds like your putting off the inevitable though. Total rebuild.
