My dad had a 1995 Volvo 850 that he kept immaculately clean and always dealer serviced, etc. It got a round pebble stuck in the bumper surround, such that when he braked, turned, or accelerated in a certain way he heard a rattle that basically only *he* could hear. Someone unfamiliar with the...
Hi everyone,
I've noticed a strange "tinging" sound when driving. Seems to be related to vehicle speed... only hear this noise when traveling 30mph or more. I hear it best in 3rd gear, but I'm not sure if I *would* hear it in 2nd gear... because when going 30+ in 2nd the engine noise drowns...
Just a clarification question. In the TM there is a lot of info about other CUCV's with the note "all except M1009". There are a couple threads on how to replace the rear wheel bearings on the M1009 on SS, but I'm going to grease up the fronts and I want to make sure that the rears are taken...
I too removed my CDR valve to clean it today and found a shotglass full of oil in it (distributed evenly among the hoses and CDR itself. My CDR looks pretty new (definitely not 25 years old, maybe 5 years at most). All the CDR-related tubes were well sealed. So, I was about to post this exact...

I also attached a pic of the drivers side of the T-case.
Rain down your wisdom! Thanks!
sorry ODdave, I honestly don't remember seeing an ID tag on the back where the plugs were. Again, I will update tomorrow when it's light out and I can refresh my memory.
I'll take some pics and post them tomorrow morning when it's light out. I'm pretty handy with Photoshop, so I'll have little arrows and labels on everything for maximum clarity :)
Also, I realize I'm a newbie here... but should the powers-that-be at SteelSoldiers maybe update the CUCV Wiki / FAQ to let people know that the 5 qt fill for the T-case is incorrect? I'm seeing a few people respond to say that neither NP205 or NP208 holds that much (or are we all using the...
Again, I am going from memory here and will confirm tomorrow when it's light out, but I believe it was aluminum (I don't know which T-case is made from which material, but I'm guessing you do??) :)
