    Help with Unit Markings

    I suggest going to the 3-4 CAV's reunion website at www.3-4cav.org and ask. Give them details on the time period you want and someone will remember what they saw. A few pictures on the site are just marked 4 CAV on the left as you face vehicle ond Troop letter plus number on the right. Or...

    Need assistance with shocks

    I had the same thing a couple weeks ago. PB Blaster and walked away for awhile, then used an extra long breaker bar - cheater pipe works too. In my case I was lucky and the nut broke loose but it took lots of muscle to back it all the way off. If it doesn't break loose then it will break off...

    Transporting an M1009

    If it helps any, I was towing with a Ford Excursion on Tennessee back highways at ~55mph with no issues. But I tow 9500 lbs routinely so towing the 6500 lbs combined CUCV and Uhaul trailer was no big deal. With your Titan, my main concern would be weight. Even with the trailer surge brakes it...

    Transporting an M1009

    I brought mine home on the smaller U-haul trailer. Would work even better on their larger trailer. They have a loop on the front that allows you to hook a come-along and rope or chain to winch the CUCV on if it won't start, and the staps fit over the stock size tires but with little room to spare.

Did a user test versus the original HMMWVs both cross-country and Motor-trend style on the airfield and those...

    M1009 fuel consumpation, what is your MPG?

    Not sure what I get yet - just put new injector pump in and in process of swapping front axle. But I know that it's my economy car compared to the rest of my fleet: Excursion V10 @ 12 city 13 highway, Mercedes S600 v12 @ 12 city and 21 highway on premium, and the kid's Land Rover @ 14 city or...

    What batterie to get in M1009 Blazer?

    Get NAPA 6TMFs Just do what I did: Go to NAPA and tell them to cross-refeence 6TLs. They can order 6TMFs which are the newer military maintenance free versions. They will come with a NAPA decal on top, but will be stamped US on the side and have the export license restriction due to military...
