    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Check your ABS fuses. I see that your ABS light is on and it may be simply a blown fuse.

    M923A2 Pinion Seal Replacement Troubles - Requesting Advice

    I had the same issue with one of my Axles. Assuming your seal has a spring, remove spring and find where it's joined together. Unscrew it and using a small set of wire cutters, Snip off about three coils of spring from the end. Rescrew the spring back together and place back on seal and...

    Injection Pump Replacement

    Unless your missing your IP, take yours off and have it rebuilt for half the price. Do a search for pump rebuilds. Plenty of info on where to send it.

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

    Unless you want to replace other parts in the near future, get out and unlock hubs! Your Turing all thst metal for nothing. Fuel mileage will suffer as mentioned and your putting additional wear and tear on those components when it's not needed. Your wallet will thank you for it.

    M923A2 BMY 1988 8.3L 6CTA Cummins Belt Tensioner and alternator pulley

    Recommend you ditch the stock alternator and upgrade. The original ones are notorious for frying and taking out other electrical components with it. Found out all that the hard and expensive way. Belt tensioner is easy to find. On eBay also. Go OEM or Gates makes a good one. Part number...

    M1008 Deployment History

    The registration number and the pioneer tool rack indicates it is a former USMC truck. I believe, that makes it even harder to establish what the last unit was that used it.

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

    Unless your head gasket failed as you pulled into the wash bay, no water from the car wash will affect anything hydraulically. Steaming hot water on a hot engine will not cause shock issues. Sure you can douse the alternators and screw those up. Put the nozzle of the high pressure spray right...

    Leaking fuel? - bellhousing/oil filter area - new electric fuel pump

    I have a NOS GM set of injection lines as spares. Looks like a plain steel injection line inside to me. This isnt the first time I've heard about "glass" inside. Looking at the new lines I just don't see it.

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

    It really surprises people who come up to talk about truck. I open the hood and they always say "wow"! Not sure what they were expecting. I absolutely hate a dirty engine. To me, it could look a lot better with the alternator brackets, etc repainted. Just not that important right now and...

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

    I usually wash it once a month or more. I have NO-OX-ID grease in every single connection and never had a problem with water or anything. The car wash I use has very hot water. Gets it really clean. Someday I will paint alternator brackets, air cleaner, etc. Sure would make it look better.

    Washed the engine. Was very dusty. I know your not supposed to, but stay away from the alternators and you'll be fine. Changed fuel filter after pics were taken.

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    D-Rings have been ordered. Now to fix a weak point on these trailers and install a new tongue jack. The jack that was installed on the later manufactured units, with the separate jack handle, are hard to find and expensive when you do. Have read they also don't hold up very well and...

    M116A3 Trailer, HMMWV Command Shelter & Rooftop Tent camper build…

    I would have checked brake fluid and brakes first day. Hopefully you already checked the wheel bearings/races. With your master cylinder looking like that, you will need to replace the wheel brake cylinders. Don't forget to clean the line out also. Once you have it all done, the surge...
