I have one of my cucvs for sale in the classifieds. It has rust but drives great. It has been my daily driver for over a year and I hope my other cucv drives as good as this one. I need to sell this one to get some parts for the other one...
I just got done watching the new episode of Eureka on the Sci Fi channel. At one point they entered an invisible shed. The shed was a chemical shelter complete with the steel door entryway. They did not show the outside because it was supposed to be invisible but the interior was immediately...
I am trying to track down the cause of no gen 2 light on one of my cucv's. The wiring diagram shows a diode and this is the only thing I have yet to check. The relay checks out and all the it is triggering properly. I really think the diode is the problem but where is the damn thing?
Thanks

I will be picking up a trailer. Anyone need me to preview something for them while I am there. Due to the new policies in place PM me if you need me to look for you.

A guy in Muskego WI has a parts M105 that I could use for parts. Is anyone going form the Wisconson area to anywhere near the southern Michigan area? As usual, I will put in some money for whatever vise you have and gas money. If you can help let me know. It sounds like the trailer will roll...
I finally got around to checking the brakes on my M103 Trailer. Everything went great and the brakes worked fine. I did the check from the -14 that had me putting a small stick into a hole on the Air pack to make sure it was moving in and out. It worked but all the holes on the air pack were...
This has already been posted to the classifieds but I put a bump hear for exposure.
I need the spigots and metal boxes along with all the piping for a water buffalo. If no one speaks up I know I can rig up something from the hardware store but the metal boxes are the major hangup. I also need...
Saturn has them listed as out of stock. Memphis says they do not carry parts for gensets. Anyone know where to get new point sets? I plan to take them apart and see how bad they are but if I can get them cheap I would like to just replace them. Also, anyone know where to get an adaptor to check...
Time to get off my butt and install the Pyro and boost gauge. I plan on a pre-turbo install on the exhaust manifold. I will take the turbo off to properly clean out the metal shavings and chips. As I see it I will need a new turbo to exhaust manifold gasket. Is this all I need or should I get...
I thought I saw a post on where someone did it before but I could not find it or remember who did it. Anyone know or have heard about it being done? I am trying to get a free trailer to put on my vacation property and want to hear stories or experiences with trying to move a mobile home with the...
Anyone going? Anyone been to it before? I am going to try to go this weekend either Saturday or Sunday. I may take the cucv or I may get really ambitious and take the deuce. Free to re-enactors and people with MVs.
I am going to try to rebuild this thing in the next week or so and Ebay seems to have some OK deals on rebuild kits with the Regulator and such. The only question I have is which case the CUCV with two GM 100 amp alts uses? If no one knows I will make a trip to the alt shop on Tuesday.
Thanks...
I had a problem with one alt not charging. It was alt 2. I tore it apart and found the output stud loose. I found that the listed metal link had burned away by the excessive resistance and heat. I now need a new stud with nut, the insulating washer on the inside of the case, and the metal link...
My daughter took plenty of pics while I was installing my ring mount. My son also helped. I put on the legs by myself. I put the back legs and put on the u bolts. I then used the jack to push them up to the proper height. The legs had holes that I put bolts in to hold it in place while I got...
Someone asked for pics of the mounting hardware for my radiator cover. I figured I would post them hear so it can be seen by all. I also installed my ring mount today. My daughter took plenty of pics and they will be posted soon.

The title says it all. I put an want ad in the ad section. If no one has one I will order it from Saturn on Friday. I need the horn working reliably for the Memorial Day Parade.
Thanks

I plan on attending Saturday and maybe staying overnight until Sunday Morning. It is April 27th - 29th. Anyone else form SS going? It really sounds like fun. The picts the GLMVPA put out of last year look like it was very fun with lots of mud.
Chuck
Anyone heard the latest on the show. Last I heard the reenactment was out for this year but the MVPA types were not out yet. Anyone heard a rulling on the vehicle displays?

Pics from a trip the the Michigan Thumb area to get tractor tires. The howitzer was at a local VFW and the M-60 and jet was at the Michigan Military Museum in Frankenmuth MI. It was closed but I will get checking back at the place later in the month. The M-60 seems to have come from the same...
