    Turn signal switch

    Had same problem on rear light before I went to all Truck-Lite LEDs. Switch was fine. Bulbs were fine and replaced again anyway. No luck. I could bang on light and it would start working. Then it would be fine for a while, then act up again. Not fun. There was a short in the light housing...

    Fuse panel - to be, or not to be...

    I would buy that truck as a parts truck. Just all the small stuff like screws and bolts, etc that you can use will save you time and $$. Hoods a good score. Looks like lots of rust on doors and fenders. Hate to see a stepside get scrapped. They didn't make a ton of them.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I lucked out and both my 5 tons are excellent trucks. Had a friend of a friend wanting to buy one. Made a really great, unsolicited, serious offer on my M925A2. (This was when they were still plentiful on GP). Didn't need the money and wasn't trying to sell it. I was considering it when I...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That is just stupidity at its finest. Pay good money for a truck, just to tear it up. The supply of good, solid trucks has slowed to a trickle. They won't last forever.

    LMTV vs 5 TON

    Even if the LMTV was flawless, it's still ugly as ever. The M939 5 tons at least "look" like a real truck. Both have pros and cons. Both have their own maintenance issues. It's personal preference. Some guys like the LMTV only Some like the M939 series only Some like both, or even...

    M1031 CUCV shipping data paper 6 3 86

    I knew that and had found remnants of one when I installed a new seat cover in my first CUCV. It's always nice to know the history, especially its birth certificate.

    M1031 CUCV shipping data paper 6 3 86

    Would have been nice if all the paperwork was left in the trucks when military was done with them. A few guys lucked out and received some paperwork. Majority did not.

    Fuel Tank Sending Unit M1008

    Just looked ACDelco has discontinued that part. You can still get the lock ring and seal and misc parts, but not the unit itself. I installed a new ACDelco in mine almost two years ago and still going strong. Should have bought several.

    ACDelco still makes one. Any parts store will have or can order it.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I know it was a joke! Thats the bad thing about text. Can't read tone. I meant that as a " go for it"!

    Knock yourself out. Edit; Go for it. All in a good way and no smart tone intended
