    M1010 - No more DUVAC!!

    I installed the same Surepower unit about three years ago and it runs flawless. Enough power to run a 12v transfer pump. Batteries are always equal. Before the Surepower, I use to be forced to swap battery positions every month or so. I left the DUVAC wired up in place just incase the...

    M1028 Cold Start - Is there a factory block heater on this truck?

    As far as I know, the miltary did not have the block heater on the CUCV. I installed a common block heater in mine. I then replaced all of the glow plugs and learned that it starts fine without the heater down to about 10 degrees.

    Lightning strikes twice!! Another starter mystrer

    So I spent a few hours yesterday swapping out my old starter by myself. The old starter worked always cold but once the truck reached operating temp, it would take a light precise hammer blow to the solenoid to start it. So I thought the solenoid was bad. So after the new to me (working take...

    california historical plates

    I submitted my paperwork about a month ago and havent heard a thing! The DMV clerk charged me $230 for my historical registration. Aslong as the clerk pushed the paperwork through, I wasnt going to argue there at the DMV. I feel like I paid too much. I will work on the price, once the plate...

    Won a M185A3

    I used the Wagner paint sprayer and it worked perfect for this job. Im very happy with the paint and it makes the truck look almost new. I sanded the front a little and then shot over it. Im 99% sure that the multifuel engine rebuild data plate says 1997 although it is very small.

    Won a M185A3

    So I showed up early at Barstow and did a quick look over on the truck. I did not inspect this truck before bidding so it was a crap shoot. I was surprised! The truck was over hauled recently and everything looked brand new under the hood. The engine data plate was date 9/97. The truck even had...

    M109 Versus M185

    I just got an M185a3 a few weeks ago. I was wondering the same thing prior to getting mine. The only difference that Ive noticed so far during my overhaul, is that the M185 has a huge additional DC plug below the AC plug. The shop van box is slightly wired differently.

I submitted my EUC on 3/25 and got approval today, the 31st. My 1st EUC took like a month so 4 working days is amazing. Now I plan to drive...
