    M101 canvas tie-downs

    That would be EDPM rubber rope. It comes in roll/spool lengths, a quick Google will give you lots of choices. I bought a new cover last year and all it had was the regular ropes in the individual eyelets. I got a length of bungee from Harbor freight and made knotted loops. I'd be interested to...

    Replacing Radiator with Aluminum

    Many positive things about Champion Radiators in Orange, CA. Tell them you have an '84 Chevy K30 w/the 6.2L Diesel and TH400 trans...don't mention it's a CUCV. My reccomendation is the standard common green coolant at a 50/50 mix. No need to make it more complicated, KISS. Sent from my...

    Oh, you totally can!! There's many companies that make new harnesses for old Squarebody trucks. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Buying MEP-803A - Good Deal?

    Very good deal, many have paid much more for higher hours and a list of problems. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    This is a stellar idea. Companies like LMC sell a plug n'play specifically for this. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Headlight, Running Light Help

    9mm?? So the melted fuse makes lots more sense now that you explain its terminals become loose. Google "loose connection resistance" and there's a cornucopia of technical jargon and engineering terms to support your problem. The circut in question is a high-draw circut, so with the increased...

    Headlight, Running Light Help

    Cutting random wires for unknown reasons and adding uncalculated circut protection does not sound like a good idea to me. I reccomend a systematic approach to any malfunction, most call it Troubleshooting. First step in Troubleshooting: duplicate the discrepancy. If it melted a fuse instead of...

    Mep 802A

    How many hours are on it? It helps if we know the machine's story to the best of your knowledge...a little synopsis goes a long way. I recall reading a few posts about having excess crankcase pressure...my mind wants to say the consensus was rings not being seated due to low hours or prolonged...

    Aftermarket Radiator Questions- Cap with Deeper Neck

    I'm not under their umbrella, just giving a solution suggestion. I know all the rads I'm familiar with from them were drop in replacements. I'd reccomend a phone call to speak to them directly about your needs, as I'm doubtful that their webmaster is proficient at ensuring the picture placement...

    M1102 cracked drawbars at A frame

    I'd add a stop-drill to the root of the crack before commencement of buzz-box shenanagains. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Mep 802A

    1. Your safety chain hook will rest perfectly inside the first chain link that's larger than the rest, instead of hooking into the frame channel. 2. Navigate your way to the TM section, there's all the manuals for both your generator and trailer in there. In the 24P for your trailer, you'll...

    Aftermarket Radiator Questions- Cap with Deeper Neck

    If you do decide a replacement is needed, myself and multiple friends have had stellar experiences with Champion Radiators in Orange, CA. Tell them you have an 84 K30 with the 6.2L Diesel and TH400...DO NOT tell them you have a CUCV, it will just confuse most folks outside our circles...

    What trickle chargers are you guys using?

    I vote for the 2A 2-bank for the MEP needs, if you install the larger its only going to use what it needs...they're smart like that. I have the larger amp 2-bank on my boat to use as a shore power setup. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    What trickle chargers are you guys using?

    I second the NOCO vote, I did exactly as LITD has done. There's a perfect spot for the plug outlet, little square panel on the Rt rear corner. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Driver side alternator Bracket/spacers.

    This is an instance where the TM is your best friend. Not only are there step by step instructions for removal and installation of a component with accompanying pictures, the parts manual will have very in-depth exploded diagrams that go down to every nut and bolt just as the dealership parts...

    My rudimentary Googling skills say this has a high probability based on a single pic. If nothing else, it's a visual representation of something that resembles what you want. Keep It Clean 10853 Flasher No Load Fixed Flasher https://a.co/d/2tsYJnx Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Dunno where you're going, but it sounds like you need to go to a better parts store! Napa or Carquest are my go-to places. Vatozone is not my vibe at all...I need guys behind the counter that don't ask if it's 4wd for lightbulbs. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
