CUCV parts Help! Save me a bunch of research! Where did you buy your new dash pad and weatherstripping? How much did you pay? You wouldn't happen to know the part numbers, would you? -Sarge (extremely lazy Sarge today)

Mobile home axles in Texas I own a bunch of scrap mobile homes. I just checked, and yes, the tires are marked "For Mobile Home Use Only" I never knew that! You learn something every day! At some point in the near future, I had intended to convert one for road use. Safety First. I will now put...

Don't sweat the small stuff Wow! A nightmare come true! It could have been worse. Had you both behaved with crappy attitudes, it could have been much worse. I have a cop friend who explained the procedure to me. “You can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride” He was referring to people who...

Nice rides! ED, very nice pictures! Ahhh.... Would you be interested in selling that KLR250? Just asking..... Road trip! -Sarge

My M820 (5-ton expando) got 5.2 mpg over the last 1000 miles. Not interstate miles, just regular country roads. -Sarge

Whoops! When I said disconnect the plug on the steering column, I meant ONLY on the towed vehicle! Duh! -Sarge

Okay, since nobody has mentioned it yet, here is a trick we used in the military when we towed tactical vehicles with tactical vehicles. This trick enables you to tow using the disabled vehicles tail, stop and turn signals. All of the turn signals. The only thing you need is one cable. The...

What a coincidence! I just received a cab cover from GMA yesterday. It's the 3 color camo vinyl top with insulation. It fits the 800 series 5 tons and also the deuces. Never mind E-bay prices, this factory top (brand new) cost $171, that's all. I don't know how much the freight cost because GMA...

Thank You! Wayne (gizip), Thank you for the link, that is exactly what I was searching for. I have already contacted the company to ask for clarification on a couple of their chargers. $44 is not too expensive for what they are offering. -Sarge

24V battery maintenance charger This is your quest! What I am seeking is several 24V vehicle mounted battery maintenance chargers. I would like to find something that will mount inside of the vehicle battery box (or close by) that trickles a maintenance charge into my 24V battery setup. I would...

maintenance charger? One advantage of being a crusty old fart is that you have experience with a lot of stuff. I have had both good and bad experiences with 6TL's. I have bought blems in the past and I have bought new 6TL's in the past. My personal experiance has been that the new 6TL's have...

Pros and cons Okay, so far this is a great thread and I'm learning a lot about oil. I have a ZF WSK400 transmission. It is slightly unusual in that it is a six speed manual transmission with a torque converter up front that is always spinning. The torque converter, the gear box and the transfer...

Well, you are not called Maddawg for nothing! you got my vote! Hee-hee -sage

One source of supply for straight 10W non-detergent motor oil is Tractor Supply, they sell it in two gallon containers. Can anyone tell me of other places they buy this oil? Thanks! -Sarge

Upside down V Well, you asked what it means, so here goes..... In the first Gulf War (aka Desert Storm) we had a serious problem with vehicle recognition. The coalition consisted of 26 nations united against Saddam. 26 nations meant 26 different types of vehicles, well actually it was about 18...

Radiators Tim, I have gone through 4 multifuel take-out radiators in the last few years. I have also fixed several by soldering the seams shut. (I don't have brazing equipment) Good take outs here cost about $250 with a 30 day warranty. I finally got fed up when my last radiator sprung a leak...

RE: Deuce Millage? I keep records. Over the past 11,692 miles, my deuce has averaged 7.6 mpg on straight diesel. Was that any help? -Sarge

As you can see from the TM page that Cranetruck posted, 10 weight oil has several applications. It can be used as hydraulic oil, engine oil, transmission oil, power steering oil and even more applications. In the OLD days, we used straight 10 weight oil in Deuce engines when the temperatures...

I second 67Beast's reply. It is a civvy J20 wagoneer or gladiator (bad memory). It is NOT an M725 or even an M-anything. It could possibly have been bought and used by the military, but that does not automatically give it an M-series number. David Doyle is the master of vehicle recognition. If...

Lighten up guys! Yeah, it can seem like it's unfair when someone posts comments about auctions on here, but on the other hand, no foul. I have gotten several leads on stuff I wanted by paying attention on Steel Soldiers. It works both ways. There is also no foul when someone (not in this case)...
