    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    This is what I am working with. Since my current crusher and running gear/trailer chassis weighs 3125 LB's I think I nailed it with this chassis. This trailer comes complete with QR code. https://nationalstocknumber.org/nsn/2330-01-387-5424

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    That would be a new one on me. We built trailers at work, and we had the torsion axles as an option. It was a popular option, I never heard of any issues with torsion axles. I would have thought the military would have thought of that. I am willing to take the chance. I am not even near half the...

    Drivers side window came out of regulator bracket

    I have replaced a lot of rusty window sash over the years on M1009's rear glass and all other vehicles that were originally designed to use the swedged rubber method from new. I always have 100% results with the use of Manus 25AM sealant adhesive. Manuals-Bond 25-AM: Amazon.com: Industrial &...

    Flexplate Replacement Parts (+ tangential component replacements)

    I had an M1028 A1 that had indecisive shifting. I changed the VRV and that made no difference. I took it to the transmission shop, and they adjusted it with a gauge. He said he was not happy with the way it shifted either. As time went on it remained a PITA. It would pull out in 2nd and shift on...

    The big wheeled 6 lug trailers have leaf springs. But they also have air over hydraulic brakes, and I don't want to mess with them. They are overkill for what I need, and I don't think the distance between the wheel housings is enough to get my Rock Crusher between. But really the air over...

    No these do not have leaf springs and the trailer you pictured is not heavy enough for my crusher. Weight, maximum: 3160 lb (1434.64 kg) is 20 lbs more than what the crusher weighs. These have torsion suspension and 4200 GVW. perfect for my application. I don't want the HMMWV tires and wheels...

    I think I was fooled. It looks like a Plymouth Trailblazer at 4:15 the imposter is clear. Just another K5 knock off. https://fb.watch/apj6no7IUt/

    Replacement aluminum heater core low heat output idea

    It may run hot but it will not circulate that coolant thru the heater core. I had Chevrolet trucks back in the 60's and that was always the issue. Low coolant, No heat.

    Hard Start Issue

    The rubber elbows are getting hard to find. The F part is almost non existent. Be good to what you have and patch and play from this point. Glad to hear my fuel line replacement was not the culprit. I thought I could change a fuel line and do it right. I do know the feeling. I had a perfect...

    That tan trailer has air over hydraulic.

    Thank you. I like the looks and the springs on that trailer chassis. I want to find out more about these trailers and get an eyeball on them. I am hoping they have surge brakes on them. Thank you for the reply. I am sure someone else out there knows something about these trailer chassis.

    Replacement aluminum heater core low heat output idea

    Well that will do it. Low coolant and a hole in the cooling system will prevent the heater from working at optimum efficiency. That is a pressurized cooling system and must be full and pressurized to operate as designed. Every GM I ever owned had little or no heat when the coolant was low. Good...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    Can anyone identify the trailer chassis in the picture? Any GVW and do they have air brakes? I was sent this picture and told they could be bought. Any help. I need a trailer chassis for my rock crusher. Any nomenclature on the tan one in the foreground would be helpful. I cannot use an air...

    Replacement aluminum heater core low heat output idea

    I drove a CUCV for over 20 years as a daily driver. Fact is several CUCV's over the years. Many I had were bare bones. I even removed the jute padding from inside on the firewall and had a bare painted floor or Line X. I had aluminum heater cores in a few and brass / copper ones in a few others...

    A few pictures of some M1010 doors that a member here wanted to see. The right door opens but the left door is rusted shut. I can be opened but I didn't want force it. I didn't notice the poor picture, but it gives you an idea. Take Care.

    It's not every day you get to drive the Honda 4514 tractor with the 383 CARC green paintjob. I taped up all the decals and painted over the red. The Honda dealer was mind blown when he seen it. That was 20 years ago, and I still use the tractor to blow snow and haul the wood splitter into the...

    4WD Light

    Go under the truck unplug the 4WD switch. Jump the 2 wires with the key on. The light in the dash should light. If not, it could be bad bulb, bad, dirty connection at the printed circuit board, bad dirty socket, pinched wire. But the switch is 7/8" and they do wear out. The same switch was used...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    I was told to never use U-bolts over again. I have but only in a pinch. They are about $10. each. It only cost a few dollars more to do the job right. And experience has told me you spend twice as much on the second repair after the savings repair. Looks Good. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year.
