    Front axles not working in 4 wheel drive

    How did you confirm the hubs locked in? Usually, they are the problem and require service.

    secret kill switch - security - discourage possible theft?

    The turned and locked front wheels will only slow a flatbed driver down by a minute. The truck can be easily be sucked up on the flatbed using either a block against the side or a snatch block on the other side and liberal use of dish soap to lube the bed. Works easily and often. Your...

    Is this worth getting?! Junkyard Find

    It doesn't matter much. Still a great deal anyday. Odd thing for me is the rear sway bar on a 4x4. Hope you closed the deal. Sorry I've been absent all day.

    Changing the rear springs on my M1031

    Any change in ride height?

    Is this worth getting?! Junkyard Find

    Lower right web below tube will have 70 cast into it. I can confirm it's a 70 by virtue of what GM used when they were new.

    Thanks, standing by. Living my junkyard life in absentia.

    Is this worth getting?! Junkyard Find

    It's not the narrow axle. I have one under my CUCV and you can barely fit your flat hand between the backing plate and the leaf spring. Tinstar, any updates? This mission interests me.

    secret kill switch - security - discourage possible theft?

    My consideration was more for the guy that happened to have a key laying around. If someone is determined enough to go to the relay, they are likely to get the truck no matter what.

    secret kill switch - security - discourage possible theft?

    That is why mine has the secondary switch. I have given away lots of CUCV keys. I once went to Disney and parked in their ginormous lot. I unplugged the pink wire. It was a civy 6.2 truck and frankly, the best theft deterrent it had was the 6.2 Diesel badges.

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

    You could sub a better light for the blackout and probably be successful. I have some smaller Whelen lights that are pretty bright and may fit the hole.

    Is this worth getting?! Junkyard Find

    Worth it? This country has had less presidents than folks who have got a $200 60F. I know, I'm one of them. I would seriously buy both of them in a second. If it's a CUCV, please take a minute and document the truck with pics when you return? I would take the data plates as well if at all...

    Is this worth getting?! Junkyard Find

    Any traces of green paint..anywhere? Something struck me as odd with the pics. The rear sway bar shouldn't be there. It was not an option on 4 wheel drives no matter who you knew at GM. That leads me to 2 options. It was added at some point and time or it's an M1028A2 or M1028A3. When the...

    Meet Mr Rusty

    I think individual wires terminated at each end would be a great improvement.

    secret kill switch - security - discourage possible theft?

    If you have done the underdash relay mod, you are half way there. I interruped one of the small wires there with an SPST switch.

    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    You can also pick up a few items at the other end. Harbor Fright locations are handy to know for disposable tools. My experience is not from FMTV stuff but still may help. Head light style flashlight, assortment of brass compression fittings, jump box for various reasons. Walmart has a...

    Funny, there are 10 NATO 5L cans in my contact truck with various fluids. Lots of folks have offered to buy them in the past.

    Administrator, can you please contact a member with a full inbox?

    Yes, I remember. Good to put a face with a name. Hope Bighorn gets the parts he requires.

    Did you yell at him about a vacuum pump for a 6.2 Simp?

    You never know how badly you need something until you see it at the rally.
