    Should I?

    Any frame mounted hitch will have to be slightly trimmed to fit around the pintle and tie down brackets. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of. Rick

    Towing m353 w/o air brakes?

    Can you pull it? Yes, no problem. Can you stop it? Probably, as long as you don't have an a**hole slam on the brakes in front of you. Can you pull it legally without brakes? Not in my state anyway, over 2000lbs. you need brakes. I am not trying to be an azz but I am curious. Why would you buy...

    M1008 Starting/Running/Idling Problem!

    I SERIOUSLY doubt the injectors are worn or bad. You need to go through the proper troubleshooting procedure before condemning the expensive stuff. Start with the basics like fuel pressure and fuel flow tests on the lift pump. You say there are no leaks but how are you checking for a leak in the...

    Looking at a MUTT

    That frame member is specifically spelled out in the military manuals as a scrap vehicle, do not repair. Rick

    Field Stoves

    I could probably transport from Aberdeen, Mike knjows what my rig looks like with the mutt on it so he would know whether they would fit. Rick

    Field Stoves

    Sometimes I think exceptions have to be made. This came about as hapenstance. It was not a sale looking to happen, it was a member who happened to see something he needed and asked about it. At that point it could go to PM's. Rick

    M109A4 Sub-Zero Oil Field

    Worse comes to worse you could always attach high density foam board directly to the walls and mount the shelves over that. The green foam board interlocks for a good seal. Rick

    New CUCV owner - Transmission and engine questions

    I am guessing there are more than a few that would be interested in what your idea of a "Hick" truck is. Not everyone feels the need to keep it 100% military, they are basically civilian trucks after all.

    M109A4 Sub-Zero Oil Field

    I think your ideas about going with the the updated modern electrical and lighting are a very good idea. You are depending on this vehicle for your livelihood and safety and the safety of others, do not scrimp on the necessities. The one thing I have not seen you talk about, or maybe I missed...

    New CUCV owner - Transmission and engine questions

    I have never seen exhaust run through the sides of the bed like that, it is not really that bad looking. It was cleanly done. When you say the water is frozen do you mean the water in the engine? That would be bad! The problem with the websites that were mentioned is that they will ot ship...

    Looking at a MUTT

    I came in a little late but check out the G838.org site. It is M151 only. A lot of good info on there. Check the underneath very well. They rust out badly under there and they are unibody so no frame. If it is rotted on the rear crossmember then walk away. If the rest is rotted it can be...

    Running WMO in a M1008 CUCV

    M1031 CUCV lost all power to fues box

    Also take out and put back in every fuse in the in the fuse panel. They get corrosion on them and do just what you experienced. You do not have to replace them with new ones, just remove and put back to clean up the connection. Rick

    An Aussie 5-ton RV conversion 'Mad Max Winnebago'

    You were talking about problems with foreigners buying things here, A friend of mine from Germany has said the same thing while another German friend has no problem?
