Have you read all the horror stories about Fram oil filters failing and the paper getting sucked into the oil passages? They are notorious for that.

When you go in to buy parts, DO NOT say it’s for a surplus Military Vehicle. Say it’s for 1984 K30 Chevrolet Pickup. With a few exceptions, that’s all it is. The Army had Chevrolet keep all the CUCV trucks a 1984 design, regardless of the year it was made. You will save yourself and the...

They are great!! So much better than that orange light. Those bulbs are rated for at least 15,000 hours of use I believe. Should last a while.

Remove the bulb end support clips and move them over the appropriate distance. The backing place is fairly thin so the screws start easily. Just don’t use a long screw even though the space behind is clear of wires directly behind that location. That way you don’t have to worry about...

Perfect! Fast Will work in freezing weather ......and will have the job finished before the eggs and bacon go into the cast iron skillet!! Your hired!!

Great!! What time will you be here to do the install??!!

System will get installed later this coming week. Snow/sleet is predicted for Monday and temps barely above freezing for a couple of days after that. No sense of doing the install in nasty weather.

Both type bulbs started just fine. About equal amount of time from ignition start to full light for each.

No issues at all. They have been flawless. The MH bulbs were the ones designed for and originally installed in the unit. This is according to original Specs/documentation I’ve found online. I think I’ve posted a picture of it also. Not sure why the receiving units later changed over to...

Changed oil and filter. Mobil1 Delvac 10W40 Air and fuel filters were not due yet. Cold front coming so I did a detailed inspection all over and underneath truck. All looked good. I’m ready.

Definitely not high mileage trucks!!

Interesting! I have never seen one of those.

Sounding like I’m not that far off on average mileage from you guys.

It seems like, to me, I drive my M1008A1 a lot. In it everyday when I’m not flying. Ranch work, errands, occasionally driving to work, etc. But I’m only averaging just over 5300 miles per year. Have had truck just over 3 years now. Truck is great and wife and I take it for an occasional...

A dying starter will cause the cranking issue. Cranks, but not fast enough. Mine was dying a slow death and made me think battery’s, etc when she wouldn’t fire. Replaced starter and engine cranked faster than ever Just a thought..........

Croft Trailer has the best price on that shock and outstanding customer service.

Used to be to a certain extent, but that info is no longer available. Unless you find unit bumper markings, you may never know it’s recent history. Some guys were lucky and found maint. paperwork in their trucks after auction. To know the trucks entire history, you’ll need a time machine.

Do whatever works for you. Personal preference Your truck, Your rules. I personally like mine stock. That’s me. Recently bought a lot of NOS CUCV resistors so I can change them now as required or on a maintenance schedule. I don’t really care what someone else does to their truck(s). I...

PEX is all the same I believe, just different colors. I’ve had mine installed for over 8 months and hardly a mark on it. Have you adjusted your door post?
