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

    Spongy Brake Pedal Gremlins and Woes: Started out with winterizing the truck (moving to Alaska in a few months), wanted to put in some fancy brake fluid and clean out the old stuff. Truck has been converted to rear disks btw. Found that one of the bleeder screws was crossthreaded and jammed in...

    Seat covers for M1009 CUCV

    I got the jatonka ones recently. They're really good quality. Will probably outlast the truck. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Another CUCV accident

    I've seen many beds in decent shape at the parts yards and once in a while some for sale in the military truck groups on Facebook / eBay / (or here) I've also heard of people letting the insurance total the truck and then just buying it back from them. The type of title probably won't bother...

    steering gear adjust

    Yes that's correct. Turn the steering wheel and nothing happens. Before I put cross over steer on I had almost half a turn of nothing. Ideally the steering should not be loose at all Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    steering gear adjust

    What's normal depends if you've lifted the truck or left it stock. My M1009 when it was stock had almost no play in the steering. After a lift the steering was very loose until I changed it to cross over steer. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

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

    Been chasing spongy brake pedal gremlins for over a month now. Old MC wasn't able to fully actuate the rear disk brakes, it was running out of fluid. I also snapped a brake line (few posts above). Took off the original disk/drum proportioning valve in exchange for an adjustable one (can see it...

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

    Already have my head buried in the truck trying to sort out the gremlins (this month its the brake system and the proportioning valve). Between that and work I've no time for models. Just saw the price... 75 euros for something I wanna use as a dash ornament, that will bake in the Georgia sun...

    Leaking axle?

    One of my locking hubs disintegated, caused a bunch of noise on one side. If you set both hubs to lock does the noise go away?

    Oil seeping into dash

    the speedo cable is supposed to be lubed with thick axle grease. Unless your PO put something else in there?

    Is your high idle / cold advance kicking on when you start it? You'll need to depress the pedal slightly to get it to stay on. Mine always smokes on cold mornings, but idles smooth one the cold advance is on. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    CUCV in Alaska

    Did you just let the plug dangle in the grill? Or set up a clean looking plug somewhere? Also, anyone have a particular brand or type of antifreeze they use? Walmart has a -50* rated one but it has bad reviews.

    Walmart also has 800cca batteries ($120 each) with a 5 year warranty. Switched to these a few years ago, no issues I agree, check your glow plug system Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Vacuum pump issues

    From your description I don't see any issues. I've adjusted mine to also shift at 15 and 35. Are the shifts rough or causing concern somehow? Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk
