Welcome to the site.

There probably won't be one of a CUCV but there will be one of the Dodge m880 pickup. It might be listed in the TM section here on the site. You'll have to find the book for MERDC 4 color camo, not the newer 3 color camo book.

The camo on these vehicles is known as MERDC, it was first used in the 1970s. From info in TC 5-200 I believe the color scheme is "gray desert" and the 4 colors are sand, field drab, earth yellow, and black. By the time your m1028a2 was in use the 4 color camo was replaced with 3 color camo...

This thread seems slow this year, anyone else going? I'll be there vending as usual, some of the stuff I can bring down with me: m35 gasser radiator, NOS m54a2 multifuel radiator, NOS m35a2 radiator, 20mm ammo cans, tow bar chain clamps, m275 tractor deckplates, hmmwv 2 man cargo covers, cucv...

Read this thread, halfway through is the procedure. It's not difficult at all. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?51059-Help-M818-Wont-start/page2 You should take a look at the operator's book, there's a lot of good info in there...

Nothing goes wrong but once it's tripped the cable does nothing until it's reset at the other end. Until then the truck won't start.

I'm fairly certain you need to open the hood and reset the shut off now.

Was it last shut down with the emergency shut down cable instead of the switch?

Welcome to the site.

That's correct, the weight/dimensions data plate on the dash says the same thing.

The snow finally melted enough for the m59 to make it out of its winter parking space (no working 6x6 right now). Other than that I don't see any work getting done on deuces in the near future.:-(

That's the one, I had to make a trip down there anyway so I figured I'd pick it up in case I ever needed it.

I haven't had time to do much CUCV work lately but I did pick up a not so common piece, a CUCV II brushguard. Makes me miss my old CUCV II. :-( Pay no attention to the license plate please.

"Camouflage nets cover vehicles and equipment of Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare Unit 210 during the joint military training exercise Ocean Venture '92." Missing the gin poles and maybe even the headache rack.

Nice truck! That's interesting that it has been converted to a multifuel already. Seems like a bunch of them have been converted over from the gas engines in recent years.

They could be early m34 combat wheels. I can check the book when I get home tonight, someone will probably answer before then. I’ve posted the part numbers here on the site before in another thread asking about them.

It is the same guy.

I think it’s $15 for a year.

I didn't notice any difference with my m1028 after the NV4500 swap. I'd say it's still more well behaved than the one in my other CUCV with the auto transmission.

Sounds like it's most likely either an m246 or m819 tractor wrecker. Neither are very rare I'd say but they are less common than the regular wreckers.
