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

    That wire looks nearly new. How did you get a new strand of wire caught on the drive shaft? Good job fixing problem quickly! Many rear ends get burned plumb up when this happens.

    M1009 No Start. (GearTeeth Grinding?) (Issue after running out of fuel/refilling)

    Just my 2 cents but why did you put the 5 gallon of diesel in a can in the back instead of putting it in the tank. Never run a diesel engine out of fuel on anything. I would also suspect the starter brace. Who put the new starter on and what was wrong with the old one. If your starter is a new...

    M1008 wont start

    It sounds like your starter drive could still be engaged in the flywheel and didn't release when it started. This starter could possibly have been damaged with the run on and may need to be replaced again.

    Radiator cap problem

    The "new radiators" won't even fit into the rubber saddles correctly to help absorb the shock of the road let alone off road. If you want to embrace new technology why do you even have a CUCV or any other military vehicle. All of these discussed things is what makes horse trading happen!!

    Radiator cap problem

    A good radiator shop can remove the brass tanks and install a brand new brass core and it's not a 30 year old radiator any more and it's good for another 30 years.

    Need a 4500 lb. Vehicle Transported from IN to CA - Can anyone help?

    Secure a snatch block to the front of the trailer with a chain. Fasten a cable to the tank then run it thru the block and get along side the trailer with another truck or tractor and pull it on. Same as a winch. Just make sure all components are rated for the load.

    m1009 occasional scary steering

    All of the square body 4x4's that I have driven or worked on came from GM with the hardened non greaseable joints installed on the front axle shafts. I am confident GM felt this was the way to go. I have an 80 model K20 that I drove over 300,000 miles and had a lot of hard pulls and still has...

    I use power service diesel kleen at recommended rates in summer and power service arctic formula in the winter time. The cetane boost is real and all my engines run quitter because of the added lubricity. They also start better in the winter time. It is good for the injectors too. Not only do I...
