    CUCV Radiator Replacement

    Pro tip: Order the insulators that go on the bottom now so you'll have them when you're installing the new rad. You don't want to use the old ones, but if you're installing the rad and then suddenly discover you need them, you'll be faced with a choice; play fast & loose with the old ones...

    CUCV 383 Green Paint

    So a gallon to do the whole truck and 1/3rd or so of each for the cammo. Will you be masking and spraying the cammo, or brushing that part?

    Emergency lmtv brake help

    Was stationed at JBLM when it was two different bases, and drove thru Tuckwila a lot when I worked on that side. We're out in quiet Kitsap County now and dread the neverending traffic on that side whenever we have to be there. PM me info on whatever trucks you may be selling. As a retired...

    KC Lights Stopped Working

    If you want some more advice, avoid the electrical tape. Electrical tape is nasty mess if you ever need to get it off. Self-amalgalmating tape.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I was just down in Oly last Wednesday to pick up a paint sprayer I won off ironplanet. I had an appointment in Taco so I drove around thru Shelton from Kitsap. I walked into the rental place that had auctioned off the stuff to pick it up and they look confused, shuffled their papers, and tell me...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I just realized you're in WA. I registered mine at one of the local strip-mall licensing centers and they never even asked about an inspection. I walked in, paid the $, and walked out with a small license plate. Years later it still doesn't have a light on the plate. Also, ask your buddy if...

    4WD Light

    Good point! Forgot to mention - stock M1009. So the light just tells me the desired condition (4WD) not the actual condition. It always goes off with the lever in 2HI. It almost always comes on when the lever is pulled to 4HI, but sometimes there's a delay. It might come on a minute or two...

    4WD Light

    LOL, well if there are two responses that completely miss my question I guess I failed to articulate my question well. I only mentioned the transfer case, I didn't mention the hubs or the front axle. Does the 4WD light indicate that both output shafts are turning, or does it merely mean the...

    4WD Light

    I know that. What I'm asking is does the light say the transfer case is in 4WD or does it simply say the shift lever is in 4WD.

    4WD Light

    OK, what does the yellow 4WD light tell me? Shift lever is in 4WD Transfer case is in 4WD I ask because every so often I shift to 4WD and the light doesn't illuminate. Is the front axle engaged even tho the light didn't come on? Sometimes the 4WD light comes on a minute or so after I've...

    Battery Wiring Maintenance

    I finally remembered to do this when it was daylight so I went out and measured everything and drew a picture. A couple questions: What gauge is the factory cable? What gauge is recommended? Cables are marked with 12O39293 WDD for the red, and 12O39267 WBQ for the black
