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

    When you drop it off, tell them you want the defective seal.

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    I had been wondering about the diminishing number of lots on the GL site for JBLM. 33 miles? Where?

    Should I have been draining water from my new SPIN-ON?

    I went with the FM as well. I've never drained any water but the one time I tried to unscrew the drain at the bottom of the filter nothing ever came out. I should probably try again....

    Going to have to pull M1009 trans. Questions

    I'm no transmission expert but the symptoms you describe sound more like a vacuum issue than a transmission problem. Have you exhausted your troubleshooting with the vacuum system already?

    Opinions on M1009 Tires

    Sooner or later, you'll curse General. I have the KOs on my 1009 and my Jeep and they're notoriously hard to keep balanced. I put Goodyear Silent Armor on my wife's jeep and that will probably be the tire I go to if the KOs ever wear out on my jeep. For the 1009 I'd probably do the Walmart...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I love mine and I love to see them getting used hard and surviving. I think about lowering mine but so far haven't. You didn't take that out on the roads without the safety chains connected I hope.

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

    Drove up to the Oly Mountains to see the snow and function check my P320 after it came back from the recall. At one point the snow was falling so hard the wipers were just packing it on each side of their sweep, and we stopped a dozen times to clear the snow. I have some video I'll try to get...

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

    Rebuilt or remanufactured is always a gamble. My '68 Nova had eight carbs on it before the parts counter guy finally told me I could get a new one for only $20 more (in 1981ish). It got to where I could swap them out with my eyes closed. When I was flying Starlifters we would sometimes be...

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

    I ordered a set of two from amazon. Maybe I'll get lucky and the key they send me will work in the ignition and rear window lock. If not I'll have two keys.

    Glow plug Test

    This is what I've done. The only 24v on my truck right now is the starter, the landing lights, inverter, and the go-light spotlight.

    I'm looking on rockauto and they sell the locks, but not sets. I want everything keyed alike like it is, but I don't want to dissemble a new lock and swap tumblers around.

    Age and use. Looking for replacements right now. Do the auto parts stores stock them in black?
