I have worked on old military radios and it sounds like the transmit relay has gone bad. In older radios, when you press the transmit button, you are energizing relays that switch the radio from receive mode to transmit mode. It seems to me that either the wiring or the transmit relay has...

Just checked the pasture gate. My green monster is still sitting quietly.

Central Georgia is a great place to pick up some good deals on the govliquidation website. Welcome.

I was stationed at Whidbey Island a lifetime ago (for you younguns anyway), just a short ferry ride from Everett. Beautiful country infested with left leaning individuals. Great story but you will need a 24v to 12v converter to run your wiper. Instead of that you could put two wipers in series.

I like the ratchet hand much better because the over center type pokes me in the rear as I try to get out of the truck.

They CUCV is just a slightly modified civilian vehicle. How many '84 Chevy pickups are still around? Not many. The design life for most civilian vehicles is about 10 years. That can be extended to about 15 years with a good maintenance plan. But many of these vehicles sat for many months at...

Or just cut the frame down in front of and behind the springer hangers and bolt the whole assembly to the truck frame. It saves a LOT of drilling and grinding on rivets.

Your problem is likely the fuel return check valve located on top of the electric fuel cutoff. It is literally a 5 minute fix. Take it off and spray some carb cleaner down in it and shake it around and reinstall it.

Unless daddy is rich and free with money, I would think that something that gets better mileage would be more practical.

If this guy is charging you $1000 just to replace head gaskets, he isn't your "buddy". He is charging you $1000 for $100 worth of gaskets and 6-8 hours of labor. ****, you can buy a HMMWV pullout engine that runs for $600.

Usually it is one battery that has died. Put the jumper cables across that battery. If both batteries are dead, then hook the second set of jumper cables from a second vehicle across the second battery.

The only big mod I can thing of is the radiator mount and putting an electric cooling fan on it. You would have to have motor and tranny mounts fabbed up of course.

From what I know about air dryers, they come in two flavors. There is the mechanical type that uses refrigeration system to cause the moisture in the compressed air to condense on some refrigerated tubing (the compressed air is circulated passed the tubing). The moisture is gathered at the...

My bad. You are correct.

Well, if you can afford to have the tranny down for a period, this would be an excellent chance to get a rebuild kit and learn how to rebuild one.

From the description: 0.025" orifice, 10-32 Inlet and outlet ports Man, that it tiny. These are better suited. https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=20-1311&catname=air https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=20-1463&catname=air

The TH400 is a basic tranny swap. You will need to remove the transfer case first and then lower the back of the tranny a bit to get to all the bolts around the case.

The wipers would be easy to wire up, just connect them in series and to a switch and you are good to go.

There was another A-10 that survived being struck with an AA missile. Went through the wing and hit the vertical stab. The female pilot brought her home.

Well, you learn something every day. I thought that they were just so that you could number the trucks in a convoy!
