    No Headlights, directionals, horn, CUCV 1986

    What a coincidence, all those things run through the service light toggle switch on the dash. Is that switch in the UP position? If it's fully UP then there may be some problem in the circuit to the switch, like the fuses or wiring or the switch itself. Wiggle it. The switch I mean; wiggle...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Deets on the jack please. I think you said ebay but do you have the NSN or part number?

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

    Somehow my left turn signal has suddenly started working again. Glad I didn't bother to fix it. :)

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    It tells you that you have a leak, likely in the filter somewhere. Air was leaking in, but parked downhill sort of seals the air leak in with a fuel leak out, if that makes sense. Plug the sensor or

    Broken Power Steering Bracket

    It's common enough to have happened to me. I took the parts to a friend who is a good welder and he beefed it up. I was skeptical that it would even fit but it's under the hood and working great.

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    Do you have ramps or any other way of parking it nose down? That's a free and no-effort troubleshooting tip.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Looking at the numbered drawing it appears you take part #12 off the frame rail and set it on top of the jack such that the concave nub cradles the shock-absorber eye. Of course you can also jack up one side of the trailer by running the tongue jack down, installing a landing leg on that side...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    The manual mentions something about a jacking point but I don't understand how or what.

    Truck keeps losing it's prime

    Fuel isn't leaking out; air is leaking in. Try parking nose-down and see if the problem corrects. Either way, get a spin-on fuel filter and the problem should go away.

    M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size

    Spent a couple hours taking the big 37s off the trailer and test fitting my aluminum mag wheels. They fit perfectly! The tire is centered underneath with no tire sticking out. The stock lugnuts fit, sorta. The socket gets down into the holes (on all but one of the lugs) but the socket OD...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Finally got to test fit the new wheels. Ignore the overspray on the tires, those are getting replaced. The stock lugnuts fit but the socket is tight in the hole, so I would like to get some proper ones if anyone knows the thread pitch. Please take a look at the second two pictures and tell me...

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

    Mine's been sitting in the driveway for the last two weeks while we vacationed at Bellows AFS in Hawaii. Wrangled another beachfront cabin- 60' from the surf. While there we watched the Army drop and pick up soldiers in the surf down the beach. I didn't take any pictures of the military...

    Newport News?

    Why do you have to wonder? Why do you assume cruising? One of what guys? What kind of note? You're reading a lot more into that post than what I wrote. :?

    Newport News?

    Saw this on a website that lists unsecured webcams. Looks like a HMMWV with the hood up. If it's you, lock them cameras down! :carnac:

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

    My Jeep Grand Cherokee has terrible visibility out the back due to the height of the small rear window, and it's scary sometimes trying to back at night because the reverse lights are almost useless. My solution to the light was to incorporate two LED light bars into a receiver step, and plug...

    Anyone remember or have info on the military Suzuki 250,s

    I learned to ride motorcycles on a retired military dirtbike. Many years ago (early 90s) when I was flying C-141s I had, like most aircrew, a desk job for the time I wasn't out on a mission somewhere. I worked in what was called RED Section (Research & Equipment Development) and we were...
