There should be a Spring meet coming up for either Barstow area or Big Bear, I forget which one comes up 1st. Look out for a thread titled SoCal Spring Rally by either Blendmaster2002 or FastNova. I sent you a PM.

As far as I know, it is the same as the ones for the 5-tons and Deuces. My 5 ton Jerry can holder is exactly the same as my 1009. the 4 bolts on the bottom of the holder should line up with the 4 nuts on the floor bracket, unless you are talking about the floor bracket, mine is welded in.

Just an observation since 1" and 1 1/2" canvas hose reels look exactly like this, but I could be wrong.:-P http://www.nationalfirefighter.com/store/p/3534-Warehouse-Fire-Hose-Reel.aspx No worries if it isn't a fire trailer, just a guess from me....

Looks to me like a makeshift fire pumper or hose reel trailer for extending the hose reach for a pumper truck. Camp Pendleton has some very remote buildings, so that would be my estimated guess. The reel on the back looks like a hose reel, but if not for firehose then some sort of hose...

The trails there can go from mild to somewhat extreme, so yes the buddy system helps out. I got stuck in a small ditch, basically because my pintle high centered me in my CUCV, luckily I had a couple of deuces with me to bail me out Nice area, and well traveled, so even if you were to get stuck...

I don't think you have to but also check to make sure that you don't need a off-road permit. I think this area is exempt from that but double check to be sure before going out there.

Truckhaven out in Ocotillo is a good place. My friend Leo has taken his out there and other places. Not sure if he still has his HMMWV though.

Love BF brand tools, they always get the job done. And these trucks need BF'ing tools

don't have a part number, but the dealer may still carry that part. any civi version will work, just order it without A/C, not 100% sure there is a difference between those 2 but just in case. My web search shows it to be right around $20 search looks like this:

I would have just cut a slot in the U bolt to make room for the brake line..:grd::whistle: and I hope you know I am Just kidding. To Rustystud, don't feel bad, with these online forums it's so hard to "really" get an idea if a person is kidding or not, hence the need for a Sarcastic...

You sound like me at times. When it doesn't fit, make it fit, with a welder, grinder a little fab work and some creativity, and maybe a few beers to help calm your nerves (or soda if you don't drink)

Looks like I got my weekend planned out.

Welcome to the tribe. Don't let the Diesel part scare you. IMHO, it is as good as a 350 that you would in any other truck, if not better. I like (love) 350 chevy's, but how many can still turn around after over 200K miles without a rebuild. Like the others have said, it is a 30+ year old...

Good Job, glad you made it. Now you have a new perspective on this vehicle as you have already been indoctrinated in the repair process.:grd:

CUCVRUS, I may be hitting you up for some tips and tricks on the tailgate repair/rebuild. I quickly rebuilt mine 2 years ago and it has finally broken again, though it did take 2 years of very extensive opening/closing as it was being used as my daily driver work truck. For as many times as I...

could be a bad ground as well, but the alternator would be a good guess like NDT suggested.

I would ditch that ammeter for sure, they are prone to all sorts of problems, may be your culprit. Disconnect the ammeter and see what happens. Voltmeters are way better than ammeter simply because voltage is like electrical pressure where as amps are like flow. Ammeters have to run through...

Sorry to hear about your encounter. Now they may be interpreting your 5-ton as a commercial vehicle and if it is parked in a residential area, that could be illegal. Some HOA's have rules like this and some are actually code enforced aka you can get a ticket for it. Here in San Diego, it is...

Check your printed circuit on the back of the cluster, I had the same issue from removing and installing mine and it was a folded over copper strip cross-circuiting over into the fuel gage circuit. Same exact thing, right turn signal on, fuel gauge would continue to climb with each blink. I...
