    Valence's 1997 Pribbs M101A3

    Using the USMC RUC (M00920), looks like your trailer last belonged to: 2nd LAAD of MACG-28; 2nd MAW; II MEF Great looking A3! [thumbzup]

    Does anyone have a dragon stencil painted on their truck?

    The new stencils look great! After some more research, it looks as though 5-5 is no longer attached to the 17th Field Artillery Brigade at JBLM, and has since relocated back to Fort Sill, Oklahoma in late 2017... Additionally, there appears to be a Military Police battalion still stationed at...

    Does anyone have a dragon stencil painted on their truck?

    Only a year and four months late to the party, buuuut...... :oops: 1st Battalion, 114th Field Artillery Regiment of the 631st Field Artillery Brigade of the Mississippi ARNG... Web search indicates that 1/114 was based out of Greenwood. Deactivated on or around 30 September 2008, which jives...

    Does anyone have a dragon stencil painted on their truck?

    Did the seller ever tell you if they bought the truck out of JBLM, by chance...? If so, the 5th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery Regiment of the 31st Air Defense Artillery Brigade is nicknamed the "Dragonslayers" and has had a presence at Fort Lewis (JBLM) for quite some time. The logo on...

    where is my NP208 leaking from?

    I have a truck that has a decent leak from the governor cover (up high) on the transmission, which travels down the side of the case, down the adapter, and eventually drips from the very back of the transfer case skid plate. Consider cleaning the underside and drivetrain, letting dry, and then...

    The HMWVV as a farm vehicle

    I've been telling several of my friends for YEARS that when I own acreage? I'll be owning an M998 to traverse the property with. The 2-door trucks with a full cargo bed are perfect... Keep it coming with the photos of your HMMWV in action!

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    There should be a pink wire with a black stripe/tracer that comes out of the bulkhead connector and goes up to the stock fuel filter housing's "water in fuel" sensor. Same wire is spliced somewhere in the engine harness and feeds the input side of the cold idle temp switch, which should be...

    Another M1010 owner

    This ashtray charging station is exactly the inspiration I've been looking for. Are you still happy with the MicTuning products? Thought your IG username and truck looked familiar when I found it last night... Guess I need to visit the hotrodding section here more often! Great thread so far...

    Mysterious Black Box on Drivers Fender

    Glad you got it tracked down, and luckily you won't have to dig into the glow plug harness at all! I would definitely replace that relay (which appears to be a Ford-style starter relay) if the output lug is loose or otherwise unsecured inside the relay body. The FAQ at the top of the CUCV...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I know someone looking to get an MKT moved from central Florida to western Arizona, if sharing deck space on a trailer could make shipping costs viable...

    Mysterious Black Box on Drivers Fender

    If your glow plug relay is indeed pushing 12v+ through the output lug, and all of your glow plugs are indeed fully functioning, then the problem could be the fusible links (the smaller-diameter green wires) that drop out of the harness and directly feed the glow plugs... The two orange wires...

    CUCV Bed Bolts and LMC

    Yes, I believe the long bolts and crush tubes are supplementary support for the trucks designed for use as shelter carriers. For some reason, the -20P TM seems to list the UOC for all chassis' to have the four longer bolts and tubes... But my M1008, nor my M1031, have these items. However, the...

    Mysterious Black Box on Drivers Fender

    I believe you are correct on all counts. The power feed for the fan controller is piggybacking off the hot/input lug of the glow plug relay, and the ground wire for the fan controller is terminating at the firewall in the same area. The fan controller is acting as a relay to switch power to the...

    Mysterious Black Box on Drivers Fender

    If you intend to keep the electric fans, I would definitely install the probe between the fins per the manufacturer's instructions, and verify that the controller is turning on/off the fans at appropriate temperatures to prevent overheating. The instructions for a Flex-a-Lite 30332 (which looks...

    Mysterious Black Box on Drivers Fender

    That looks like an electric fan controller unit, as the silver-colored probe that you shove between the radiator fins is visible (at right) in your photo... It opens and closes an electrical connection based on temperature input from that probe, and the knob on the box allows you to adjust at...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    ^ I can vouch for this company, I'm using their cables on my M1008; they do good work and the material quality is excellent.

    The struggle is real... I'm glad someone else can sympathize! :beer:

    Glow plug card

    In terms of complexity, I'd actually say the military control system is more convoluted than the civilian controller, as there's less wiring required to run the newer civilian controllers like you have installed... Whoever did the conversion on your truck simply did a sloppy job, and wasn't...

    Glow plug card

    I'm not familiar with how the civilian GP controllers work, unfortunately, so I'm not much help there. For what it's worth, based on your photos, it doesn't look like you're too far off from the original military wiring...you could return it to the stock setup, if you were inclined to do so...

    Glow plug card

    Correct, that gray unit that has the large-gauge orange wires attached is a 2-in-1 unit: it's both your glow plug controller AND your glow plug relay. EDIT: The red circle is the controller/relay, the red and yellow arrow is your 12v power wire that's feeding the glow plug relay, and the blue...
