    I am trying to find a source for the bushing on the bottom Driver side of the tailgate and none of the parts places seem to carry it or find it for that matter. Any leads would be appreciated. Bruce

    Right brake grabs & locks

    Not sure if it is front or rear though. It is intermitant and usually at low speed under 5mph. Does this sound like a brake bleeding or wheel cylinders. How do I test? Thanks for any help, Bruce M1008

    Source for original airfilter with prefilter band?

    I am down to my last filter, and was wondering if anyone knew of a source for these two part air filters. There don't appear to be any aftermarket ones with the prefilter band. Bruce

    M211 is it worth buying

    The axles have a unique way of attachement. When attempting to pull the axle shafts you will need to loosen the nuts and then take a sledgehammer and whack the end of the shaft that has the heavy piece of steel with the hole in it for tie down. You need to read the manual for details, but it is...

    CUCV cargo cover tailgate connection

    If you have a cargo cover installed on your M1008 could you please take a look at the metal stip with the turnbuttons on it that attaches to the top outboard side of the tailgate. The metal strip is aprox 1 1/2 " wide and as long as the tailgate. However it is bent slightly in the middle along...

    M689E mobilizer and old ISO container

    If this settup will be going on public roads, you will have a problem. Evidently years ago, some idiot overloaded up a shelter, then took it on the freeway and went way over 50mph with predictable results. Now CA DMV will not license the mobilizers. A possible solution might be to weld a frame...

    M1008 U-joint ?

    Ok, I am assuming I have the heavy duty ones. Does this mean that you are supposed to dissasemble them to grease them, Or do you just wait until they fail and then replace. I am not sure yet if they are loose, but I think so. Time to crawl under and shake some things.:-o Bruce

    M1008 U-joint ?

    Does anyone know if there were different revs of U-joints for the M1008? The one I have doesn't appear to have any way to grease it, and I am afraid it is on its last legs. I would like to replace it with one that is greasable. Can anyone give me a part number or source for one. Thanks, Bruce

    M1008 door window issues

    I did mine 3 or 4 years ago. You need to get all the little pieces and the different types of special tape. I did the vent window as well. It is not too bad but it takes a little patience and attention to detail. There is also a little tool for the window crank you need to get. Just a little...

    Has anyone built a big slide-in "truck" camper for a M35 Deuce?

    Loading a sheltor or similar I was thinking about the problem and I came up with a crazy idea. What if you got two stacks of innertubes which when inflated were the same height as the bed. If you placed them under the shelter inset from the front and another set at the rear. inflate them and...

    Jumpstarting with cucv

    Nato cable adapter What about taking a NATO cable plug and ataching a simple heavy duty terminal strip to it through a short cable. The strip would have 4 posts on it marked + - + - for the AAA guy with 2 12 volt battery packs to attach his leads to. Obviously the posts would be wired so that...
