    m1008 glow plug/wait light issue

    Have you checked to see if your glow plug temperature sensor switch is operational? It could be stuck in the closed position and fooling your glow plug controller that the engine is warm. I think if you just unplug it, the glow plug controller will think its a cold engine and cycle your glow...

    What is this tank training gun worth?

    Wrap some sheet metal around the tubing, mount it on the back of a Duce guntruck, run it down any USA city street during rush hour and see how long it takes the Mayor to call out the National Guard.

    Has anybody put thier M1078 on a scale?

    I dropped the spare on ours to get to the electrical box underneath. I was going to unhook it and roll it out of the way. I changed my mind when I had it on the ground "looked like a thousand pounds to me!"

    Squealing Belt Question

    Try to tighten them up a touch more. Your pulleys could be a touch worn/wider. Or your new belts need to be wider.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Were you running them at 65lbs like it showed on stencil on the side of your truck? That could be part of the problem with running them that stiff. I run my Goodyears at 45lbs, rides smoother, less jarring when pothole hunting and they don't seem to build up any heat.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I wanted to use my NOS set or delineators and mount them on Easter Find to match my 1009 and my 101-A2 but they won't work. The tailgate on the trucks are designed differently from the Blazers and has a deep angle recess on the ends. So I got a little creative "after a few beers" and come up...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    New set of shoes. My 16 year old set of Goodyear Wrangler tires that came with my 1009 got a little dangerous to run. The side walls were dry cracked real bad. Installed a set of Hankook Dynapro MT RT03s stock size 31"x10.5"x15". $149.00 each mounted & balanced. Not to aggressive and should...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Easter Find started her service there in New Mexico, so I thought It was only fitting to have her wear her original unit ID. And Rick your right, no fire wood or logging. Maybe a nice load of milled lumber once in a while.

    Kubota orange on a Land Pride mower? Is that allowed? Will Kubota sue for patent infringements? Patent infringement is the commission of a prohibited act with respect to a patented invention without permission from the patent holder

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I noticed Easter find seemed a little lonely and disappointed she wasn't in the parade so I brought her a new friend to spend some quality time together. She is so happy now that she decided to start her own parade Rick, I hope this takes some loneliness away makes you feel a tad bit happier.

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Didn't make the parade this year. The WWII vet I give a ride to was unfortunately placed in a nursing home and unable to participate. As far as upgrades, all I have done so far is some stenciling. Easter Find is so close to original stock I'm debating adding anything. "Just thinking" I have a...
