her CUCV PS: Sadly she won't be able to keep the antenna up. It will snag EVERYTHING she drives under but she can tie it to the right rear tiedown ring just like Uncle Sam does and it will still look really Koooool,, in her language. I have a 14 year old grand daughter so I'm learning new words...

CUCV license mounting I went to a salvage yard and purchased a license plate adapter off a Mercedes. Any European made car has an adapter to go from thier two hole Euro-sized plates to the four hole US plates. I teaked the mounting ears that bolt to the car to compensate for the angle on the...

fuel problems Thank you so much for the valuable information guys & gals. I really really appreciate the help. Is the bottom of the in-tank pump held in place with clips or friction or perhaps origianlly bonded on with adhesive or solder? While I'm in there fixing the possible pump coming aprat...

M105 towing The safety chains will probably not be quite long enough. Bring along a nice 6 foot or so piece and some shackles to adapt your chain to Uncle Sam's and some tiewraps and good duct tape. I removed my tailgate for wind resistance with the tail in the air and stowed it in the trailer...

my truck is home Well I had to wait until 23:00 to go get her. My helper (#3 son) was not back until then. I started her up and idled for about 5 minutes for warm up. Start was normal and idle was normal. I drove through town followed by my safety net behind me in the M1009. No speeds above 40...

reply to questions I have about 15 gallons of fuel in the tank as we speak. I'll pull the filters again but they were changed about 300 miles or so back (8 months) so I would think that they should be o.k. especially since I'm putting ultra clean fuel in these days. I'm open for suggestions and...

I know that I'm going to get Flamed for this because I'm appealing for some quick information from the-more-wise than-me operators of the Deuce multifuel engines. I was driving into town today and I noticed several delayed excellerations. When I pushed down for more throttle on the gas pedal it...

misidentified trucks Hey SEAFIRE get your serial numbers and registratin numbers and post them as we can decode them here on S.S. The serial numbers are on the frames near the upper left shock mounts or just behind the attachment area for the steering gearbox on the vertical portion of the...

Deuce numbers 70 & 71 will be Kaiser-Jeep. 72 is the first year for AM General who purchased the Kasier-Jeep tooling in late 71. The first part of you VIN will tell you this. Post the first four digits if you don't find what you are looking for. It also tells you if they were originally...

your newest truck Very nice looking truck but I don't think that it is really yours anymore. A certain someone with one tooth missing appears to have marked it as hers. Lots of luck prying it out of her fingers Dad. I'll be she can take-ya. In about two years or so she will be able to reach...

your CUCV I replaced my front springs when I purchased my '84 M1009 and in two years they were back where the old ones were. The replacements were OEM non-lifted springs. I also put the OEM quad shock option on it because they want to nose dive on sharp braking. I put 33 / 12:50 x 15 tires on...

lights They are normally 24 volts due to the large usage on armored vehicles, APC, Deuces, etc. but the take a standard SAE sealed beam so you could put in 12 volt beams or even 12 volt H4 lights. You will find them with and without the dark lens used for NVG training, war fare, etc. These can...

$$ listing in bids I nearly had this happen once too so now I always put 7 or 9 cents after to make sure it carries the amount correctly. Example; $127.07. It seems easier to count the zeros when ther is an odd ball amount wtih a decimal point int there too. My 1.8 cents worth as your milage...

Markings My 1.24 cents worth for here in my state of residence. We have three options for registering our MVs. Normal, everyday plate like cars and trucks have, antique plates for 25 years or older vehicles, and registering "in leiu of license plate" by stenciling the Military VIN or serial...

M880 A similar thing happened to a friend of mine who had a M880 from an MP group. It came with the blue lights and the state police did not like that at all. The truck was legally registered as required and it was completely restored and fully funtional and he used it as a driver once every...

changing names Once a name is placed into the account you can not change it yourself but I changed my name from my normal use name to my proper name (Jim changed to James) with middle initial initial and the customer service department did this in about two days. I would recommend doing the...

I.J. Pump The -34 for the CUCV has the procedure in it. I printed a few pages and took it to a dealer and they about jumped out of their socks. Good luck

trailer towing Take the tarp off if it has one. This will realy really help. :-D

lights Backup lights are actually pretty easy to install. I put some on my M105A1 trailer and also on my Deuce (M35A2C). The whole thing costs about $100 is you use new lights and the switch is about $35 (inlcuded in total) from NAPA and then there is some wiring. I also added two auxiliary...

I'm with you on that Jtugwell. I would only stamp or re-stamp the number on the frame if you fail the first time. If you have a VIN (actually serial number) on the data plate on the dash and it matches the Alabama registration and bill of sale then you should be good to go. Since they are...
