I wish I had a bigger air filter in my M35A2. I still keep my eyes out for another assembly I could modify to fit under my hood that has a bigger filter.
I had my truck starting to jump when I was in the sand a couple weeks ago. I just dug deeper in the transmission and it went away. One thing I see on the sand dunes is that flotation is key. I think aired down duals will work very well in the sand with a responsible driver. if the wheels are...
Kublos surplus might have something too. He might have the whole 809 series power steering unit for a reasonable price if you are looking to convert to a new style.
Im thinking about putting duals on the front of my deuce when I take it to the sand dunes next month. I see the picture of the broken steering box shaft and it makes me cringe. I will be a lot easier on my truck , so I am hoping I will not break anything. Sand is a hard one to navigate through...
I'm sorry, I don't think I answered your question either. I do not know how you would put the new injection line boots on. I think they are installed prior to putting the end flare fitting on, but I could be wrong. You can try putting them on over the 11/16" nut. Or you might get lucky any be...
I had them on my truck and they were all dry rotted and falling off. I ended up taking them off. If you every plan on taking the injection lines off, I suggest spraying them with your favorite penetrating lubricant prior to taking them off. Even as part of a PM, I would put a little bit of oil...
I dont think you are supposed to use either witha CUCV because of the glow plugs. It could cause engine damage i guess.
I agree with the brush guard and 696. That place is the wild west. Wear your battle helmet!
Sounds good. Well, I'll do what I can to help. I'll PM you my phone number. I'll do what I can to help you meet your goals. Just an FYI also, I have a towbar and bought 3/4" feet as well just in case I could help some CUCV or Hummer if they needed it. I don't say that to be pessimistic or...
I dont know anybody that drives them in the winter off hand. Not saying you cant, but the rust worms are hard to keep away. I like spraying used oil on things to keep the rust away. spray the chassis and stuff or if you have a ream main oil seal that has a slow leak, that works good as well as...
Oh, and I do not drive mine in the winter. The salt will eventually eat it up and I don't want that. It sits all winter with a full tank of fuel so if I needed it in an emergency, its ready and on call. :-)
There is a list of filters somewhere on the site that will cover your truck. I know it is here somewhere and they will be easy to source locally.
I could paint your truck sometime. The paint is very forgiving and we could paint it now and you could still worry about body work later. It would be...
Dont forget antisieze when you put them back on. I see you are in Holly MI... not far away. If you need help again, keep me in mind. Im only in farmington hills.
I'm in Farmington Hills but i don't have a lot of experience with the CUCV. I do feel I'm pretty fluent with the Deuce by now. Not apples to apples, but it helps. I know how to paint very well. I did my truck and by buddy's truck and they turned out good. I just did paint and that was it. I...
I agree. Preventative maintenance is huge and you never know how somebody else worked on it before. Adjusting the valves is zero cost, only time. Check all the fluids and make sure you check the engine oil regularly. If its low, top it off so its full. better safe than sorry.
Oh, when you check...
I wont be able to make it on the 6th, but I am going camping at silver lake state park this weekend. Is anybody else going to be on the dunes this weekend with their MV?
I made this diagram by looking at a M818 air system diagram. It appears there are a couple check valves that are used. One for the trolley brakes and one for the brakes on the truck if the truck is bring towed and using the glad hands in the front. Now, I made the assumption that the one valve...
