Pres. equals Preservation and you can read alot about that if you read Mil-Std 3003 (B). LCN equals Location. Not sure what the numbers mean after the PRES marking but I do know that Drive on Drive Off in the 3rd example are used exclusively for shipping an asset to Blount Island for...
Thank's Dave. I hope Mrs. Deb can make it next year to the GA Rally and make smores. I have great pictures of Mrs. Deb taking Lee and the Boy's down the road to get supplies in her Jeep. Briggs is in his Momma's lap held tight by two arms but Joey found a spot to get strapped in in the backseat.
Bert,
Thank You!!! Now I ask that the rest of the CUCV crowd vote as well. I'm up against some very nice trucks along with a Gama Goat so it's going to take everyone's help to see a CUCV in the Winner's Circle.
It certainly has a unique history that no other CUCV has ever experienced. 20 years in a de-humidified cave in Norway as part of the Marine Corps's Pre-Positioning Program Norway. Sold at auction and found it's best friend, my son Briggs! It's been to GA Rally's the last few years and is...
Back in the polls again!!! A CUCV has never Won the MV of the Month contest but there is some strong competition this month!!! Let's put a CUCV on Top!!!
Awesome Turnout this Month!! Some very nice trucks up for voting. I'll tell you why a vote for my truck would mean alot to me. My truck is just like most of these trucks, something I wanted but didn't really need. My youngest son was 2 years old when I purchased it and somehow he had an...
Entered. It's gotten plenty of votes before and its still probably the most original CUCV that has ever entered one of these events!! 1st picture will be it's Vote Picture unless we need a full truck shot. In that case, 2nd picture.
My oil pressure is about the same when cold at idle. It'll almost hit 120 psi when cold and I have verified correct sending unit and gauge. Mine does leak oil from the right front of the block and head junction. It provides rustproofing of the block that way and does not hurt performance so...
I'd nominate one of mine but you have to admit, this Month brought out some very nice equipment. If I did nominate one of mine, I'd consider 1 Vote a Victory!!!
What I should have posted last night is right along the lines of what Jeepsinker posted. You likely have a leak somewhere in a fuel line or fitting along with possibly a non working in tank pump. You also may have a Hydraulic Head on the Injection Pump going out. If you post what tests you...
I'll vote for you. Likely won't make much a difference as CUCV's don't seem to do well. My all original one has done fairly well the 2 times I tossed it up but has never made it into the Winner's Circle. Next go around, I'm going to nominate my M1089A1P2 Wrecker that I drive for the National...
And now to the most important part of the post, CHANGE ANY RESERVATIONS YOU HAVE WITH DURHAMTOWN!!! Most of us are Veterans of the GA Rally and the date change was the main thing Clinto was trying to point out. I got mine changed today and luckily have the same cabin. Let's keep this thread...
Your A3 should have short air packs on it. The first 1 1/2 inches from the back are sealed and you should have no problem drilling and tapping that. I wouldn't leave it unsecured as it might agitate the brake or air lines going to it. I don't have an A3 and have limited experience with them...
They have tried to make the diesel trucks run warmer as an attempt to get cleaner exhaust. My National Guard M1089A1P2 will make it's fan holler once warmed up and running down the road. The fan cuts in at about 210 or so indicated and cuts out around 180. Once the fan kicks in, you can watch...
Can I post pictures of the wrecker that got stuck as well? Luckily it was able to self recover with use of the spade on the back and some solid pieces of wood. I had to use some of my Hotel 8 training on that adventure. Second pic will represent the truck I intend to enter.
I'll toss my Deuce back up!! It got some good votes when I showed pictures of it stuck during my Christmas Adventure at my parents house so it might do good again. First pic was when released by the Government and second pic is as she sits today.
