    Stanadyne Mechanical Override Device

    A complete mechanical injector pump would be great on the CUCV. That would make the engine self reliant. Then add on accessories for different capabilities. However there is a reason for solenoid control. The manufacturer thought about the economy of assembly and ease of control and went with...

    How are ya'll locking/securing your 5-tons?

    Just depends on how much they want to drive around in a newly acquired MV. It is a pain in the ass but 603hellmut has the only real option for long term desertion. Take batteries with you. Leave battery box open. If they want truck they will recon first.Then first thing they will do is break...

    Does GP now hose down trucks with paint just prior to auction?

    Someone see's 4,500 miles and thinks that they are getting a low mileage truck that has not been used. Maybe so but from my observation of the pictures shown that I would not believe the mileage to be true. Also certain pictures are not taken that would further ascertain the real condition...

    MV illegal on highway in Canada (Quebec)

    I believe that we have a start, thanks to the Canadian Troops for providing the valuable information to get the wheel rolling. Its not to late, lets see if we can get an injunction or stay of the new rules taking effect until the issue can be studied further. Here in Missouri the Highway Patrol...

    Chinese and offshore parts / electronics in American Military Equipment

    It is amazing that now in the last few years that you have to buy chinese or you get nothing because no one manufactures the widget. Case in point, I went to buy a Chalk Box, lent mine out, had it maybe 30 years and now no one has it. Looked for 3 or 4 hours, no joy. All the small stores first...

    Migg as Looong as the MAN is that is a Good option! The front and rear recovery is also a great help. If you have already said but what year was your Truck manufactured?

    TWO M151 MUTTs! New to me...

    Welcome and congrats on your procurement on not one but two unmolested 151's. I like the 151 also but the HMMVW is also a Great Mule! It will take time for sure as the Military Jeep was long in the tooth at 40 years. And continues to this day as a civilian CJ. But lets give the HMMVW a chance...

    Thanks for letting me in

    Welcome, fuel problems are a domino process. Has the tank been cleaned? Have you done a carb rebuild? Carburetors that have been sitting or the fuel tank is contaminated will give you fits. The air bleeds are so small that just a little rust or dirt will close the passages. Rebuild the carb...

    Chinese and offshore parts / electronics in American Military Equipment

    Well I do not blame the chinese for what they do. The blame lies on, to the people that sell out their country for a dollar. Put our countries in peril over a dollar or yen. The democrats are pized at the company now wanting to come back and get some massive tax break or extort the local...
