If you haven't changed the hoses yourself, there is no telling how long they have been on the truck. Even on a rebuild, they tend to sit for years. They also tend to deteriorate at a more rapid than usual pace when they have paint overspray on them. I'd change the hoses and let it go.

mikeblac, my better half is very thorough and with the packing possibilities offered by an 8X12 bed that goes almost 6 feet in the air, I've never forgotten anything. Yes, there have been times that we overpacked and sometimes some items did not get used. The old saying, it's better to have it...

Can't wait for the Rally this year. I have a minor offer. Saturday night around the camp fire before the night trail ride, I will have cake, cupcakes and what not in celebration of my oldest boy's 8th Birthday. Technically his birthday is on the 7th but he's excited to share with his GA Rally...

Bump for the evening shift!!! They need nomination's of your trucks so they can get the voting started!!! All you need is a pic to upload and it's in!!! These votes go crazy and everyone has a chance to Win so nominate NOW!!!

$1045 after fees on a GL Auction truck about 5 years ago. I've spent money on maintenance, canvas, paint, a M105 trailer and it adds up to a point that I can't honestly count but it's a good truck and I love to drive it. Some people know the value of nothing and the price of everything. Mine...

Mr. Mules, I got the message and was not bidding on anything though I have bought stuff in the past from GL. Respectfully, Joseph

My truck was actually never nominated this month and hopefully never will be again. It's one of the last CUCV's that is completely original and has been to 2 GA Rally's and to date has only 6,700 original miles. I got upset when it got it's tail whipped last month and I am out of the game...

And the loser was this!!! Probably the last CUCV to be shaken from the Caves in Norway. 2,164 miles when purchased from GL, about 6,700 or so now. This is why I stress, don't nominate something you care about. Many on here know the story of this truck and the child who loves it. You can find...

I was skeptical about competing with a tank but did pretty good against it all told. There is a pretty good electoral system on here but don't nominate anything you care about because you might get your feelings hurt somewhat. March forward and wait for someone to say "Platoon, HALT". Keep...

I'll check around to see if I could get it loaded out. I'll report back tomorrow. I used to do recoveries from this base since I work there but I've gotten stiffed a few times so I turn this work over to someone else who doesn't have a full time job on base but has access to the base.

Fluid around your master cylinder could be a leaking transmission output seal. Mine does just enough to ensure my master cylinder and air pack will never rust on that side but no so much that I have to top it off between oil changes. My master also was missing the line and only has one of...

I am talking about the steering link bar between the tires. However, if you think the tires are tucked in from the bottom to the top, that would mean that it's time to get some new kingpin bushings for your steering knuckles. It's not a bad job to replace those. The top ones can be a pain to...

If you've adjusted and bled brakes and you still have too much pedal travel, you may want to adjust the linkage between the brake pedal and the master cylinder. I learned this when putting a new master cylinder on a friends truck. Somehow mine went on without adjustment but you never know the...

1. You've indicated that your using a multimeter and that you also tried to ground the solenoid itself. That's a great start and it's refreshing to hear a new member on here post that they've already checked that far before asking a question. This may sound like a dumb question but when you...

I guess it would depend on your interpretation of harsh. I've driven many of these trucks both for the National Guard and ones in private hands. They all had a pretty hard shift going into second and even more so coming to a stop and downshifting to 1st. I'm not saying there is nothing wrong...

I did as the tm advises. Raise wheel so that it can roll and tighten until it stops. Back off adjusting bolt enough to allow it to roll freely, go to other side and repeat. When I first hooked the airline to it, it had no brakes, and the master was dry. I topped off and bled the brake...

I should have added that they release normally when you ease off the brakes, they just lock up way before the trucks brakes are working that hard. I also have roughly 400 pounds of parts in the bed of the M105.

I've had a M105A2 for a few years now. When I got it, the brake hoses and surge tank were not on the trailer. Since I only pull it with the Deuce, I figured I didn't need them. I recently decided to fix the brakes. I simply ran a line from the actuator / master cylinder to the trucks service...

I lost by a landslide and I didn't see a vote by you for any truck. I'm merely playing dramatic due to the folks playing politics in the last few posts. I could actually care less, I was out of this race about 7 days ago but you're right, Sarge is a sweet truck. He's just too small to compete...

My truck got smoked. Let's see, an original Museum quality CUCV, mine, got killed by a restored CUCV and the Winner is a barely touched but nicely painted truck in the bigger truck category? Maybe folks do think CUCV's are chock blocks. CUCV crowd, where are ya'll at? Ya'll raised cain about...
