Many enjoyable hours of reading the TM's will give a lot of useful information. Start Today!

Now would be a good time to explore the TM's as the page information has been provided to help. You may also find some other information that you need and not know it yet. :clinto:

1979 When I was doing heavy industry demolition that required cutting, burning of large galvanized duct work we were required to take milk breaks to help with getting the zinc out of our body. Purely preventative measure we were told. WRONG! I want this to be a warning that zinc poisoning is...

Hardened seats are only half the battle. Counter sinking valves can ruin a cylinder head in no time if run hard heating up the cast iron. Second is the intake valves sticking. The lead years ago, late 70's into the eighties was eliminated. The lead acted like a lubricant for the seat and the...

Or resistance-, to working ever again.

I like the brass snaps on my leaders for the dogs and the horses. A lot easier to use with ageing hands.

Matt S Have you checked out the CUCV Helpful Threads? Lots of great information. There is a member here that has a lot of the rebuild parts. His handle will come up, if I can remember.

Thanks frank8003 I have to add that there are ready clues that have been surmised in the preliminary report. Now they have to figure out why? Many hours will be spent finding the reasons. Lets be respectful of speculation until the investigation has run its course. Remember the Spirit of...

I believe that you may have an opportunity to make a new Friend.:clinto:

Try going to the post Viet Nam to Desert Storm forum to CUCV Sticky Helpful Threads, then CUCV color wiring diagrams. That will get you started to figure out what has been done and how to repair back to original or help you to modify. Plenty of TM's also for the whole truck, with the part...

Zues51, do you have any access to salvage yards in the area? If so if they will let you look around and search for a suitable replacement you may find just what you are looking for.
