sounds like batteries to me , I have had the same thing , replaced both batteries and never looked back, the 6TL like to short out inside , anybody close to you that can slave your truck?

I am looking for a non working PRC-25 to use as a history display in schools, should look OE outside with all nobs ,

I was down at FIG this past weekend and stopped in to see cucvrus, picked up the parts to upgrade a 1008 to shelter carrier, the shelter ties downs and all the extras to upgrade the rear springs , thanks very much Rick, great guy,

as far as I'm concerned do not get rid of your OE old rads, I get all my rads re-cored , there is so much cheap junk out there, the old saying you get what you pay for, the rads were designed to do a job under harsh conditions and with so many of us working our trucks in one way or another you...

with the Sherman all the air flows into the fighting compartment through the hull and turret vents then into the engine bay and out , so if you want warm air you need to stand behind the tank to get the exhaust heat , by the way VERY VERY bad spot to be with the M1 Abrams ,

if it's deeper you will need to go with more oil as your pick-up has not changed,

Never let bubba the mechanic work on your vehicle , if the guy is not even smart enough to check to see how much oil the 6.2 takes , need I say more,

I Guys , I also own one of these 1981 contract trailers , my trailer served with 1 Canadian Signals Regt. out of CFB Kingston these were produced by Manac out of Quebec, surge brakes , produced to replace the M-101/101A1 3/4 ton trailers with the M-37 wheels and brakes , I see on the first one...

spare tire mount out of the Canadian Army 1976 Chevy 5/4 , someone should have a photo handy , check the last bunch of CDN posts,

I think someone wet his pants seeing those photos, and guess what , I also have a Mopar sitting in my shop, it's a CA car , 74 Dodge Coronet Police special factory 440, just because we drive slow most of the time doesn't mean we don't like to go REALLY fast once in a while,

the CF ran out of the tires before the end of the 76's service life, Goodyear's replacement was a tire that was way undersize , very bad for the Rad Vans, BF Goodrich did have a tire that looked almost the same and was the correct size in every way,

Hey Blue, if you want one really bad I know of one out of the school with 125 miles on the clock, now you can get hubs for the front , one of the trucks at the museum has them, I was pretty sure it was Derk's truck, there are not very many that have survived, the base truck's system was always...

now back to what this thread was about, the 1976 Chevy 5/4 CDN, the museum I am part of in Oshawa Ontario is restoring one at this time , out of 4 trucks there is almost no good sheet metal or even hoods , the troops were never taught not to walk in the middle of the hood when setting up the cam...

I drove the 76 5/4 while in the Military , the 81 Chevy 1 ton with stick and a 350 and the CUCV's, and owned the latter two types , I never did mileage per gallon calculations , I just gauged my fill up points on my normal long trips , normally my runs to PA, steady highway driving at a set...

I spent years driving and maintaining these trucks in the Canadian Army, the gasser's would burn a hole in your wallet, my experience , and have owned CUCV's for the last 16 years, please note the "OR" in my post, we do not have those nice cheap fuel prices you guys have down south, before the...

learning curve here, the 76 5/4 were all 350 gasser trucks, the only way to improve mileage on these trucks would be to install the 6.2 or change your axle ratio with front hubs and maybe a overdrive trans, he is lucky he lives where he does , trucks out west are normally very clean as far as...

Looks very nice , that's the one sold out west? I hope for your sake the gas prices stay down , have fun,

I do not install Dayco unless it's a emergency, try Goodyear Gatorback , no noise , no problem,

How can a bunch of addicts that are so far gone talk the new guy down, my first MV was a 42' MB in 1979, at this point I have owned more than 50, I have owned everything from DR Bikes to 3 tons and everything in between, when the Green Fangs bite they bite deep, you came to the wrong place to be...

well , winter has been a roller coaster ride with the temp up here but we move ahead, all major welding is now complete, all bubba wiring has been removed and lots of electrical repair is complete, everything back to stock , dash rebuilt , finishing the putty work on the cab , chassis cleaned...
