    Wiper options

    I have a deuce that was equipped with the electric wiper modification. I say was because someone "midnight requisitioned" said wiper system while the truck was in GL's possession. I thought I saw a thread about what civilian electric wipers will basically fit the existing holes. I checked...

    Trucks for sale or need load out in Columbia, SC

    I just shipped two trucks to Canada from my warehouse in Alabama. The same guy that owns those trucks has two 5 tons in Columbia that either need to be shipped to the same location or be sold. He just wants to break even on them at this point. These are very low mileage rebuilds that came out...

    M1009 possessed by Satan still won't start

    Today I went five rounds with this wretched imp of Beelzebub and again it defies me. I've gotten advice from several members here :recovry4x4::gimp2: and I thank them for putting up with my incessant carping. I've narrowed the problem down to the fuel solenoid shutoff that is inside a cover on...

    I remember someone posting about using 900 series 5 ton cargos to haul passengers for "Safari" type adventures. I have searched till the cows came home (and we do have cows) and could not find them. Can some search guru help an old guy out?

    Fuel tank FUBAR

    I just discovered that the fuel tank on the CUCV I have is rusted beyond repair. My first clue was when it wouldn't start due to lack of fuel after having topped it off a few weeks ago. It stays on the farm and is driven very little. I noticed I often smelled fuel when I was around it but it was...

    Starter FUBAR

    :tigger: Well....I knew things were going too well with my newly acquired CUCV. Murphy must have finally found out. Today I drove the CUCV to the lower barn to feed the piggys. I had started and stopped it twice switching the ignition off both times. The last time I started it the starter...

    Wreckerman bought a WHAT????

    :tigger: A few weeks ago a fellow SS member asked me to pick up a CUCV he had bought from GSA that was located close to my LZ. My buddy and I took his CUCV, a towbar and slave cables and went to make the pick up. When we got there the guy asked if we had brought any batteries which we hadn't...

    Since the thread concerning the pulled 900 series trucks has been locked I would like to comment in this thread.
