    Buying my first CUCV advice?

    If you are able, go look at the truck. You'll find a ton on info here. Read before you buy. Be prepared to spend a little ( or a lot ) on small stuff. Belts, lights, fluids, batteries, minor suspension work. I bought my second truck and had it shipped to Va from Texas. Didnt go the GL...

    Is this sound normal? (Video)

    Just an observation... Does your Gen2 light work at all? Are you having charging issues as well? Your last video sounds like my truck once shes warm. My first truck, that had 100+ thousand miles on it, made a heck of a racket after first start of a really cold day, after it was warm, she was...

    Anyone Running Smittybilts?

    I'm running the same set up. Only used about half of the pouches. I have tons of mollie gear. I did cut the bottom section off....kinda worthless. And ditto on keeping them out of the sun, the OD green faded pretty quick. Otherwise, sound investment. I keep my gas log ( fuel gauge inop ), box...

    CUCV IIs on the Market?

    I have seen one or two on the market over the past two years. I'm sure they are out there. If the seller knows what he or she has, you'll pay. Didnt see any of the Tahoe CUCV2's overseas...at least not at Balad. I saw a pick-up or two sitting at the DRMO though....No engines, no fenders, just...

    Seat swapping in M1009 question answered...

    I mounted a set of 2004-2005 S-10 Blazer seats up front. No more lean, at least on the drivers side. I think the passenger seat bracket is warped....I just added a few extra washers on the passenger side to level it out. The seats themselves were super easy to mount. The only extra step was to...

    Intermitent starter.....

    The batteries were replaced April 2011. I cleaned all the important stuff at least twice since I have owned the truck. ( May 2010 ) I'm with Stampy, I am leaning towards a solenoid as well due to the symptoms. I'll have the batteries load tested after the holidays. She still starts ( on the...

    Intermitent starter.....

    Howdy all, Over the past week or so, when I turn the key to the start position, ( after the GP's have cycled ) starter engages but does not stay that way for long. It doesnt sound like I'm getting a complete revolution of the engine. Set the key back to off, reattack the start...same thing...

    Gl Ft Bragg

    Last time I was in Iraq, there was an M1009 that didnt move for several months. Tracked down who had "ownership" of said CUCV and tried to get my unit to take custody of it and have it shipped home..... Like you said, prison is no way to end up.....seemed like a good idea at the time.:D The...
