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

    That's seriously cool, but how did you get your '09 to stand on end?

    Safe to leave key in on position?

    I managed, with a lot of wiggling, pushing, twisting, and grunting, to get mine into the accessory position and the wipers worked. So there you go.

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

    They wrote back to me and let me know that they don't have an ETA for them. I think I'll do the unthinkable and just pour some stop-leak in there to hold me over until the 3-row radiators are in stock again.

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

    Thanks TBob, but is the two row ok? Are you seeing the three row in stock? I thought maybe it was Firefox on my laptop that was having a problem, but here at work on Explorer it's the same; "Coming soon".

    OK, thanks. It looks like they're "coming soon" and not currently available. Dang.

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

    I went outside just now and noticed a puddle of coolant beginning to form under the radiator. While that may help with the stray cat problem in the neighborhood, it can't be good for the truck. Ugh. It looks like it's coming from somewhere in the middle of the rad, like where the tank...

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

    I replaced the brake pads up front. No real drama but after I was done I fired up the tuck and mashed the brake pedal to pump the pads into place. The motor stuttered a bit- vacuum pump? I can also with enough pressure get the pedal almost to the floor even though the brakes are well beyond...

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

    I've wanted to paint mine for a while now but I also live in an apartment (townhouse) so outdoor painting is a no-go. I was shocked to discover that none of the military bases with auto hobby shops in my area have paint booths anymore. McChord, Ft. Lewis, and Bangor Base don't list a paint...

    cucv lift kits

    No offense, but before you spend the money on a lift kit it might be a good idea to invest in an English 101 class at a college. Capitalization, punctuation, and spelling are important; especially the spelling because misspelled words don't show up when someone does a search. Again, I don't...

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

    After my panic stop last month my brakes have been squeaking. I pulled the wheels off and the pads were pretty thin so I added it to the to-do list. The squeaking has gotten worse though so I decided to just swap out the pads. Looked at the NAPA ones but ended up ordering some Wagner QC52...

    CUCV Locking Fuel Cap

    There was a thread over on AR15.com about the high-speed diesel pumps. A guy in the business wrote a long dissertation on all the behind-the-scenes stuff at gas stations. He strongly suggested NOT using the high-speed pumps as they don't filter as well as the auto pumps do. Yes, I would...

    I was thinking of an electric fuel door lock.

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

    I'm not sure where to best put this, but here it is. Something for the fabricators around here. At under $4 I might have to pick up a couple. http://www.sciplus.com/p/GUARDIAN-ELECTRIC-1224VDC-PULL-SOLENOID_52455

    What do you guys replace gov.lock with?

    This is very intriguing. Just a couple of questions for anyone who has used the Spartan locker before- Is that part number for the M1009 front diff? I see a few youtube videos but mostly for M1008s With the front hubs unlocked, and in 2WD, is it even noticeable? If one's experience with diffs...

    What do you guys replace gov.lock with?

    What are our options up front? I don't mind the gov lock in the rear for the type of mild 4WD that I do, but the open diff up front bothers me. What's a good inexpensive fix for it, if any?

    CUCV colors

    My insurance company refused to believe the VIN; they insisted the VIN I'd submitted to them was wrong. I finally had to send them a picture of the actual VIN tag I took through the windshield. When my agent retired and I was assigned to a new agent, I had to go through the whole process all...

    Corbeau Seat Brackets - Need Advice

    I'm no expert so don't quote me, but I recall reading in here somewhere that the military got S10 Blazer seats in the M1009. You might be off the track completely.
