The bent drive shafts will break the tail section of any transmission. Finding cases for TH 400 transmission is not as easy as it once was. But any constant vibration at high speed was twisting that transfer case around and the weak spot is rear flange of the transmission. I seen it many times...

I can barely tell the difference in the park lamps between LED and standard bulbs. The B/U is the big difference. I am going with LED because of the heat difference and the amperage draw . I may call it a day at this point. I don’t want to over do it and rush into things. I guess the rear...

Just a little bragging pictures of the under side of my M1009. This makes me think to take my time and do it right the first time. If it were out on the road it would be getting packed with dirt and dirt causes rust. These are the correct screws for the tail lamp lenses. Many have standard...

This is a start. LED on right standard on left.

It is raining here in Pennsylvania. We need the rain I need to keep mowing the yards. But we do need the rain. I bought a new Stihl electric mower. I am always a tester guy. I had the first diesels back in the late 70”s and still have odd diesel powered equipment. Log splitter and Jaw crusher...

That fuel tank was brand new GM one 15 years ago. I had it out and changed the pick up sock and sprayed the entire tank with undercoating back in 2010. I drove the pants off that truck for many years. I think it had 17k on it when I bought it and it was a NG truck from Puxatawney PA. I think...

Listen up. OEM CUCV starter bolts may not be available but OEM GM 6.5 stater bolts and support bracket are still available. I have worked with vehicles all my life and I used a 1996 Chevrolet 6.5 turbo G3500 van as Model to get parts for the starter bolts, this the support bracket bolt that...

I was at work and I heard someone drive up in the CUCV M1028 we have been beating for 25 plus years. I could hear it coming from a mile away. Anyway he shut it off and went and did some work. When it started it up and drove away I heard the strange sound the starter made engaging. I seen it...

Yesterday was cool and damp. I chose to find a pair of tail lamp harnesses. I actually found many but chose 4 that are in decent shape. I washed and cleaned them. I hung them in my basement to dry and the harnesses I will be re taping before installation. I started thinking in pairs so I have...

On the CUCV and other military vehicles there are 4 red slots of LED light and a single amber slit that lights in the middle when the brakes are applied. Up front each BO lamp on the bumper has 2 amber slits of light. Good Luck with the project.

Like I mentioned the gauge to set them up is discontinued. I saved a few with all the brackets attached so the gauge is not required to install them. Many I seen not working were bent and rusted off. Most times the only malfunctioning ones were on lifted trucks. Have Great Day. Enjoy your weekend.

Back in the day when I serviced and worked on the trucks there was a plastic gauge that you attached to the valve shaft, and it fit into a hole on the lever. You left that attached until the load sensing valve was install and then you cut the plastic and the valve was set and ready to go. I have...

I needed a helper to install the front bumper and brush guard. That help was here tonight so I took full advantage of the extra hands. Didn’t get a lawn mowed but got parts out of my barn and reinstalled. All need fasteners makes it 3 times easier. Have a Great Day. One day at a time. This one...

It is riveted together.

Somewhere along the line I ended up with a cracked frame on my M1102 trailer. Not sure how I am going to fix it or if I want to. It must have been like that for a while. I hauled a lot of firewood in that trailer. This is the first one I ever seen broken. Like my Dad used to say I could break...

Any ideas?

I was moving crush material and came across a few old CUCV parts. All scrap now.
