Someone felt the need to slash all of the tires on my deuce and CUCV the only one they missed was the spare on CUCV they busted out the passenger side windshield on the deuce stole my tools off the pioneer rack (I suspect they broke my windows and headlights with them) slashed up the seats and...
So I checked my lights.....I had no brake lights. I trouble shot the wiring and got the brake lights to come on by unplugging the brake light switch on the front of the air pack and jumping the plug. I assumed that meant I needed a new brake light switch. I ordered that. installed it today when...
What did the military have installed here?
Also there is a total of six holes in the transmission hump between the seats and there is a latch pocket just like the rear seat uses behind the passenger seat. What on earth did the military have going on inside my truck. I already found where the...
I'm trying to ship a complete vehicle accessory kit for a deuce to TX and they are telling me better than $200 because of the size and weight of the box it would be in and almost the same if I were to ship it in several smaller boxes. Does anyone have any experience shipping these things? what...
So after a brief visit to the local PD to discuss the legality of mounting my license plate in the back window of the truck I swung by the hardware store on the way home, when I came out there was somebody pointing at my truck and asking random people if they owned it. I stepped up and it turned...
Ok I've searched and looked in the TM's My parking brake doesn't work anymore, so the first thing I did was crawl under the truck, there is a piece of linkage not attached to the arm that it is supposed to be attached to. I zip tied it to keep it from dragging, also there is a spring not...
So my first EUC about a year ago was approved 1 week after I finally got it to BC. I had always heard the first one takes the longest so I figured I just got lucky. This EUC that I sent in has been there a week already. How long have peoples EUC's been taking recently? Did I use up all my good...
So I just won an M1009 to go with my deuce this whole MV thing is getting out of hand I'm not sure if my wife is going to put up with any more vehicles. Did nyone else win trucks today?
I can't seem to find any pictures. What is the difference between the cargo cover set up for a drop side deuce and the regular cargo cover? They have different NSN's but that's all I know. Does anyone have a drop side deuce with the correct cargo cover for it that I could compare to mine?
are there any differences in the model years of the CUCV's? I've only ever seen M1009's in 84, 85 and 86 models. Are these the only years they were made? are they any different besides being made a year or two apart? I searched and didn't find anything.
I went to check my oil as I am driving my truck out of town this weekend and haven't checked it in a couple weeks. But the dipstick wont come out. What am I doing wrong? What TM covers this? It's just supposed to turn a 1/4 turn then come out right? did i put it in wrong last time? help!
I am in the market for a generator. I would like a trailer mounted one since I don't own a fork truck and it would be really inconvenient to get in and out of the truck. my question is how big is too big to use as a back up generator for your average house? There is a local auction coming up and...
Help! I tried to install a block heater today and when I removed the valve and everything for my cab heater from the lower port on the water pump I cracked the water pump housing. Is there any way to fix this other than replace the whole water pump? Where do I buy a water pump for one of these...
The problem i have been noticing with my deuce is that the majority of the weight is on the front and the majority of the contact patch with the ground is in the back. The front end wants to drive to china in the mud while the back tires seem to sit on top and spin. It also tends to want to...
I am trying to download all of the appropriate manuals for my Deuce but the 6 part -9 wont open. Does anyone know why? or where else I can get it? also what other manuls should I have on hand?
Is there such a thing as a PTO driven trailer for any of the US Military vehicles? was there ever? I know of lots of those things that other countries have used at one time or another. They make them for the back of Landrovers and I believe the swiss had some sort of Unimog looking thing with a...
Has anyone ever thought about putting Mog portals on a 2 1/2 ton rockwell that is still under a deuce where it belongs instead of under a jeep? I'm just thinking that would lift the truck over 6 inches with no suspension mods and drop the gearing even lower (as if it needs that) I think Unimog...
I want to buy a deuce off of GL there is 42 of them for sale in Iowa, and they all say they were driven on to the lot so I assume they can be driven off of the lot. Is there anything I should look for in my first 2 1/2 ton MV? I don't know a whole lot about them other than I desperately need...
