Re: What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? Yeah CJ the Cucv ends seem to be more abused than the bigger trucks the stock cucv ends are okay but I like the big truck terminal ends better they are more robust and easy to get and if you break one you don't have to change the whole cable...

Thanks Tim when you coming up?

All of the a1's and a2's come with 14.00's

Re: What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? Greggva that was a bad connection that melted your post and or your terminal end it is very common on these military trucks for some reason I haven't figured out yet to have loose cables and or terminal ends. You don't need to over tighten them...

Welcome Spicy and look up the pink panthers or pink dessert in Africa, you can do pink and still be military.

You can get a needle fitting for your grease gun that will get in there easier but you should be able to get on it with a standard flexible line. But if you have time take the shaft out, clean it and the caps completely of all old grease and reassemble with new grease and bolts with locktite it...

Yeah I keep a bag of them on my wreckers and here's a picture.

I would say you never spent any time in south Mississippi that's all we have down here , look up Red Bluff Mississippi.

I don't see a need to go buy new, unless you are recovering a unknown truck or an extra set. But it is a good idea for all airbrake truck owners to remove and clean and lightly grease them, so they work when you need them.

Got to love it when a newbie makes good and old farts got to eat crow! Great truck I vote you keep what your grandfather built, maybe refine it some and pass it on down. It is one of a kind and I would love to have my grandpas truck.

Not sure why ya'll are knocking the mans idea there are pics on here of a Ford dually with a multi-fuel in it.

Okay yeah and somebody using their noodle 395's across the board makes too much sense won't happen. :banghead:

No to what danger ranger?

Yes both rear axles is what I should have said none on the front axle.

Cool wheel and tire interchangeable from hummer to lmtv

They are on the rear only and lots are missing or frozen in place, be careful if you try to remove a frozen one it can crack the can. Get a 3/4 ratcheting box end straight not angled for applying them and it takes a good amount of pressure to get most to release the brakes.

Tweeter? Say it ain't so Chris! Heck most of us old farts don't even know how to spacebook:what: guess I will just go cut up more MV history :D:screwy:

Okay where are you getting 16.00 x 20 steer tires? Also isn't the Spicer 5 speed a overdrive in 5th or is that just the one in the deuce? Think your M818 and the M939 have the same axle ratio so I would think that your 818 would be the faster of the two.

I use the setup for the 11.00 for 14.00 but a 16.00 will not fit. Cut the wings on the carrier part off and you can hammer or cut off and remake the wings on the outside holder. I think the crane is strong enough, never bent one and like to make mine rotate for other lifting. I would look at...

This has been cured in service with a pipe plug will get pictures tomorrow. I just haven't done all of mine.
