    Got my new compressor home today

    It is a CUE57-6DY-TM, looks like it was a pretty limited production run for the militery, but it is all off the shelf commercial stuff painted green. The military says 15cfm at 175psi, but the compressor itself in civilian service is rated at 18cfm. The battery is deader than a doornail, but...

    How did you guys drive home? documentation?

    You need to do a lot more than just verify the VIN on a GL truck when you see it for the first time before it is safe to run on the highway.

    Has anyone converted to serp belt and kept the 24v dual alts ?

    Normally, you would be correct. 2 batteries in series on a 24v truck do not require all that, or independant alternators. 2 batteries parrallel in a 12v truck do not. But a CUCV isn't 12v, and it isn't 24v. The CUCV is unique. Only the starter and glow plugs are 24v. Everything else is 12v...

    Is this a good buy?

    My advice- if you just joined the Army, get Basic and AIT over, get to your first duty station, then look at buying vehicles when you know what the situation is.

    One more 4A032 carb float question

    It may help, but the float will still absorb the ethanol during use. You are just delaying the inevitable. The only solution is to either use ethanol free gas or use a treatment to remove the ethanol before you use it. Anything esle is a band aid. You can usually find stations advertising...

    Has anyone converted to serp belt and kept the 24v dual alts ?

    6.2's and 6.5's in HMMWV's only have a single 24v alternator. A straight 24v system in a CUCV isn't a good idea. Since most of teh truck is still 12v it only draws from one battery. You can't properly charge them with one 24v alternator without resorting to battery isolaters and such. The...

    I am- you still need a 24v genset?

    One more 4A032 carb float question

    Yep. Sucks doesn't it. Keep in mind when these engines were made, there was no ethanol in gas, so they were not desigend to handle it. Sta-Bil Marine Fuel Treatment is claimed to counteract the negative effects of ethanol in small engines like this. My suggestion is to traet all fuel you...

    ultimate fire fighting vehicle

    You need to strat out by looking at folks who have done this before. Roscommon Equipment Center All the info you want and more can be found here. My first piece of advice- forget a HMMWV. Get an M1008 or M1028 with a slide in wildland unit. It will work far better than a HMMWV, be more...

    One more 4A032 carb float question

    The floats in these carbs are very, very sensitive to ethanol in gas. Use gas with ethanol, and you will get that exact result.

    Any way to mount M1009 military radios in front?

    You need the radio mount shelf that came in the M1010 ambulance.
