    Post your cucv pics here

    Wife and I drove up to the Olys to check out the snow and do some function check on my P320. Beautiful blowing snow.

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

    He was also in a right turn only lane. The traffic is bad due to the parallel road being closed for construction. The cars behind me were backed up quite a ways; that guy just figured he was too important to wait like everyone else, so he thought he's try something cute. 200 watts of Federal...

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

    Almost lost it again last night. What kind of maniac cuts off a 5800 pound pre-antilock-brakes truck? https://youtu.be/BIsXq3WDoYU

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

    Bought new blackout lights for my 1009- I had two out altogether and the other two were barely visible through the lens haze and paint over-spray. Two tiny little nuts....should take one wrench and maybe 15 minutes..... Well, in reality it took almost every tool I own and over an hour to...

    How do you bolt radio antenna mounts to truck?

    Techno discovered that the square electrical box cover holes line up pretty well.

    m1008 only starts when pointing down hill

    Same here. I spent considerable time and effort keeping it nose-down. What I think is happening is that there is a very minor seep. Parked nose down fuel seeps out - parked nose up air seeps in.

    Solenoid in stead of relay?

    That looks like the same solenoid I'm using to switch my landing lights- a relay couldn't handle the 900 watt load.

    Windshield Wiper Power Loss

    Radio? That's a little vague don't you think? CB radio? Ham radio? AM/FM radio? Military radio? You should always wire a two-way radio directly to the battery. If you want on-off with the ignition, wire a relay through the wiper fuse- it's the only one that's ON in the RUN and ACC...

    Cucv spin on fuel filter question.

    The FM100 has all those options, but as mentioned, they ain't cheap. http://thedieselstore.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=fm100 Pre-filters, heaters in 12v or 24v, primers, water sensors, heads, filters, and clear bowls.

    Crickets driving me nuts

    '86 I just need to crawl under when it's doing it loud and figure it out. Some PM got done so I'm happy with that. Changed the oil and filter while I was there.

    Crickets driving me nuts

    Well, the last time I was listening for it the door was open. It's definitely coming from up under somewhere.

    Crickets driving me nuts

    I ran down to NAPA and picked up a needle fitting adapter for my grease gun ($20) and jacked the front of the '09 up. The front drive shaft came out pretty easily. The transfer case skid uses 9/16th wrenchs top and bottom. The aft end of the front drive shaft needs a 5/8ths wrench and my...

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

    Well, after spending all day Saturday on a two hour project to get my Jeep WK back up, and having gotten bruised badly beating out both front hubs (but it's all got anti-seize compound on it now!) and having had my *** handed to my by it, I decided to do some light work on the M1009 today. Kind...

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

    My Jeep WK just hit me with SERVICE ELEC BRAKE and SERVICE 4WD messages. All the wheel speed sensors ohm check good, and it isn't throwing any codes. i don't know where to begin, and I hate just throwing parts at it in hopes one of them fix it. It's parked for now while I noodle the problem...

    Why did the army pick GM? With picture

    I would imagine that Ford wasn't impressed with the small CUCV contract since they had pretty much cornered the market in police cars.
