    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Yep for sure, I use Permatex copper anti seize on anything that I know will need thread protection, taken apart at a later time. I also use it on shock eye, rubber bushings, swaybar bushings, leaf spring bushings, sway bar bushings. You get the idea that I have a lot of uses for the stuff. I...

    New To Me Engine, Won't Start

    Did you check rings with oil to see if they are sealing while heads were off? Did you tear heads down and at least lap the valves? Were the pistons at top of bore at top dead center? Advice or help can only be givin, then reason has to be a self decision.

    New To Me Engine, Won't Start

    Also remember to use NEW head bolts as after being yielded once, stretched bolts will have a different torque to get an as before result. And may fail in doing so.

    New To Me Engine, Won't Start

    Most of the heads that I have looked at are cracked between the valves. True that a micro crack when cold will be harder to see, remove the valves and check for visible cracks, discoloration. Water leaking into the cylinder from a cracked head will have the carbon removed from area of the crack...

    Stanadyne Mechanical Override Device

    A complete mechanical injector pump would be great on the CUCV. That would make the engine self reliant. Then add on accessories for different capabilities. However there is a reason for solenoid control. The manufacturer thought about the economy of assembly and ease of control and went with...

    How are ya'll locking/securing your 5-tons?

    Just depends on how much they want to drive around in a newly acquired MV. It is a pain in the ass but 603hellmut has the only real option for long term desertion. Take batteries with you. Leave battery box open. If they want truck they will recon first.Then first thing they will do is break...

    Does GP now hose down trucks with paint just prior to auction?

    Someone see's 4,500 miles and thinks that they are getting a low mileage truck that has not been used. Maybe so but from my observation of the pictures shown that I would not believe the mileage to be true. Also certain pictures are not taken that would further ascertain the real condition...

    MV illegal on highway in Canada (Quebec)

    I believe that we have a start, thanks to the Canadian Troops for providing the valuable information to get the wheel rolling. Its not to late, lets see if we can get an injunction or stay of the new rules taking effect until the issue can be studied further. Here in Missouri the Highway Patrol...

    Chinese and offshore parts / electronics in American Military Equipment

    It is amazing that now in the last few years that you have to buy chinese or you get nothing because no one manufactures the widget. Case in point, I went to buy a Chalk Box, lent mine out, had it maybe 30 years and now no one has it. Looked for 3 or 4 hours, no joy. All the small stores first...

    Migg as Looong as the MAN is that is a Good option! The front and rear recovery is also a great help. If you have already said but what year was your Truck manufactured?
