    Might be moving

    I lived in Summerville and Ladson for only a few months each place and really liked Summerville, but wasn't so fond of Ladson. But you know how it goes with opinions, and I wasn't even 20 yet. Still hsve a niece and nephew in Summerville. Both deliver mail and love the town.

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

    Nice. All Chevy 4x4s from that era did that with the front but the rear was just up to the bottom of the bed. I never moved any but never went over the rockers either. I think I will move mine now as this beast beats civy Chevy's hands down and I have caught myself taking it further than I ever...

    Good info. Thanks.

    What Do Slave Cables Consist Of?

    The copper bar sounds best. Not like I can short circuit it anyway, like one can with jumper cables.

    What Do Slave Cables Consist Of?

    I think this means 2/0 wire. It is 3/8". Here's a pic of the lettering on the cable.

    That is a good call. Might as well run your differential vents just as high.

    What Do Slave Cables Consist Of?

    Yes, it is off ebay, and it has a 250 amp fuse. The plugs are VERY heavy built. Do you think the fuse will be heavy enough to jump with the recipient truck having dead batteries? It makes sense that it had an other purpose and had the end cut off then they just threw another end in with it...

    What Do Slave Cables Consist Of?

    I hope I have this in the right forum. Mods, feel free to move it if I have it wrong. Anyway, I picked up a set of slave cables with one end cut off and a big fuse holder inline of the positive cable on the other end. I knew about the cut end before purchasing. My question is, why was the one...

    Well, I want to put new kingpin bushings in anyway as I doubt it's ever been done. The washer is going in during assembly.

    My New Trailer Collection.

    I lost my "regular" job when Ormet closed, but I bought a small motel that I rent out as apartments to out of town workers. Usually in the gas and oil industry. That and work my M929. I worked at Bridgeport Auto about 15 years ago. I knew the owners.

    Thank you very much. Great to hear this from someone who went through the same issue recently. I remember reading where you mentioned the washer but hadn't realized it took just that after everything else you had done.

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

    Put the humvee tires back on that was on the truck when I got it. I think I need new kingpin bushings, as it drove very good with 31s on it, but not very well at all with the 37s. I felt some front end wobble on turns especially. Gotta hope for another somewhat warm day with no rain now.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    All the batteries held charge, so it was time to reinstall them. Thought of an easy way to get them in there. Just load them on the CUCV tailgate, and back 'er in close. That made the dreaded lifting of the batteries an easy task. It cranked over very fast on all four batteries.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It was just ran two days before the failed start. Gonna wait one more day now to see how they hold power by both using a voltmeter and then if they kept 12v, by installing all four and cranking the engine.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    A couple days back mine needed a jump. I am only running two batteries and until then, even in cold the engine zipped with the starter, so I assumed two were fine. Lesson learned: if it came any way stock, there was a reason so leave it stock. Funny thing is I just got two thinking about putting...

    New Glow Plugs Installed; Starts Worse Than Ever

    Yeah, my fire in the furnace was about out too. Glad I caught it when I did. Back up to 68 inside now.
