    Need new stock rear springs

    Boyce Equipment has real nice M1008,and 1028 rear spring pack takeoffs @ a reasonable price. I bought a rear to replace a broken main leaf on my 1028 while installing an ORD 4" lift. It was in almost new condition.[thumbzup]

    CUCV electric- no order received I have not yet received my order which I paid for on April 18th.Sent E-mail to inquire- no response. This also happened with a previous order which I received a few weeks later after a few finally answered e-mails.Seems like bad luck with USPS. I've always had...

    Glow Plug process overhaul

    I followed the same basic procedure regarding 12V bypass and GP replacement including connector tips.I had no problems.All GP's came out in 1 piece.They were Wellmans.I tested all for continuity,and they were fine.Some were a bit melted at the tip,but otherwise OK.I replaced all with AC60's and...

    M1009 towing a M1101/1102 trailer?

    I'd look at a m1101 close up first.I almost bought one until I inspected it first hand.They are LARGE to tow behind a CUCV.They are extremely well built and have surge brakes,but I personally prefer the m101 series to pull behind a cucv and at minimum a 1008 at that with 456's.A 1009 with stock...

    6.2 hatched

    If the replacement 6.2 is a good runner I say go for it.3500$ total in a CUCV is not bad.I paid 3000$ for my 1028 BEFORE I put any upgrades into it.They are great trucks for their designed purpose.I love mine.Off road it is bullet proof.I use it primarily to get to my country property(great...

    The M1031 with 5" lift, 12-bolt H1's and no spacers build!
