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

    Your correct. We just had a massive ice storm in October that had us on generator for almost 6 days. Didn’t drive the CUCV then either.

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

    Brushed off the snow and started it. First time it’s ran in a week or so. Fired right up. This is a lot of snow for Oklahoma. I know, it’s a dusting for you guys up north.

    CUCV Gear Indicator Issue

    If you own a CUCV, you had better start learning to work on it yourself or have really deep pockets of cash to pay a mechanic. As already mentioned, learning to work on these is fun and a necessity. Plenty of guys here that know these CUCVs extremely well and will help you navigate the...

    7520lbs and 130 hp

    Buy a different Truck. One that was actually designed for what you’re requiring. CUCVs were never meant for power. Sticker on my 1987 M1008A1 engine says 155hp. Bone stock. It does everything I ask if it. But I also know it’s NOT a Duramax, Cummins or whatever Turbocharged engine and treat...

    M101 Trailer Series: Brand New Brake Levers

    I’ve seen them on a few surplus trailers on GP but could never find any info on them. I’ve never seen any for sale. Guyfang spotted the cage number on one recent pic from another thread and looked them up and posted info. I took that info and ran with it. We now have a source for the...

    M101 Trailer Series: Brand New Brake Levers

    The picture shows new levers in different colors. The left one is the current production lever. Other two were for different customers and are obviously non-standard colors. These do not include the pulley and its hardware as I previously thought. That’s ok since I can use the hardware from...

    M989A1 build

    Backing them up is a nightmare.......for me anyway. Had one for a while. Almost brand new. Very heavy trailer. My former M925A2 did fine with it, just slower. The 10” extension is a military upgrade to the length as the original length tended to have the trailer strike truck in tight...
