Pulled out a pine tree stump today - actually two of them to be exact. The first one was easy and with a chain through the pintle hitch. That second one was a bear! My neighbor came over with one of his pieces of heavy equipment and dug around the roots of this stump but it still did not want...

Finally got around to replacing the driver's side window in my deuce today. The hardest part was dealing with the weatherstipping along the top outer edge of the door. I wanted to just replace the whole door with one I had bought years ago but UPS did a job on it and I need to hammer out the...

I was trying to load a deuce tire & rim into the bed of my CUCV and could not lift this thing to slide it up the tailgate and into the truck. This will be my sparefor the lube trailer that I have to pick up in a few days. Just for the hell of it I hooked up a bunch of bungee cords from one of...

While heading to Florida I saw a huge number of M35A3's sitting in a cow pasture on the northbound side of the road. There was a phone number on a huge fire truck (912) 832-4079) that advertised "Light Industrial Land" for sale. I just wonder if anybody knows about this collection. I can just...

Who won the ambulance up in South Carolina today?

Just uploaded three very short videos out at the 2009 Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall Reunion today. Lots of military trucks there for the festivities to include a Dodge M880 CUCV communications truck complete with the shelter that was packed with functional radio equipment. Each year this event...

I have tried to program an STE/ICE kit to accept inputs from my M1008A1 without success. I continue to get an error readout to indicate newer or updated software is needed for my application. My question is, have any members used their STE/ICE kits on their CUCVs where they actually work? If...

Just successfully replaced the fuel filter on my M1008A1 without any difficulty whatsoever. I could not find a thread with photos of the procedure so I took some as I did my maintenance and also posted a very short video o Youtube: The plastic hose that I used was a medical component of some...

I have been curious as to what type of differentials that were in one of my parts K5 Blazers so I pulled the cover and took photos. I will be selling the entire vehicle shortly but may reconsider because of this great find. I am not sure if the differential bolts into an M1009 without...

I just uploaded a very short video which makes use of a semi-defective NATO female jumper cable part that most people would dispose of. There are many applications for this part besides using it to fabricate a Dewalt Battery Cheater like the one I made. I can also use this to power my 24 volt...

The former owner of my 1968 M35A2C wanted to use air tools by hooking into the truck's air supply. I want you to see his attempt at doing this. Keep in mind this guy is a machinist and also that they do make glad hand air hoses to accomplish what he tried to do in his infinite wisdom. I want...

Has anyone used the chain type towbar feet on their Deuce? I bought a set a while back and looked at the front axle to see where they might be placed. Lots of stuff in the way like brake lines and it really looks like they would interfere with the steering if placed incorrectly on the axle...

Here's an ad I saw flagged in my area (Space Coast Craig's List) and the same ad is showing up in the Jacksonville area: http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/826057722.html Not a bad price if this is on the level!

I just got this in the mail today from an Ebay auction and now I want one of these! I found one locally but the darned thing is painted brown! I never drove one of these during my time in the AF Medical Corps but I did drive lots and lots of the old "cracker box" field ambulanced made by Dodge...

I just got my new MRE heater yesterday and now I am looking for the correct cannon plug to use to input power to this thing! I made a temporary test feed for the heater and it works perfectly. I made two YouTube videos for my son who is in the Air Force and not too fond of MREs. The video is...

I have been wanting an M1009 for some time now after passing up several of them at our local DRMO yard. I was cutting the lawn today and suddenly realized that I have pretty near everything to put together a nice M1009 out of parts and vehicles that I already have! I would not have the same...

I was digging around in the M1008A1 that I just got recently and found this inside the cab. It appears to hold something because it is spring loaded and built as solid as a rock.

Thanks to Craig's List I managed to obtain another M1008A1 in trade for one of my 89 K5 Blazers with a 350TBI. Part of the arrangement was for him (Robert) to get the axles and I would keep the rest which was fine for me. He brought the CUCV over from Brooksville Florida on a 5th wheel...

Has anyone ever replaced the boot that covers the piston shaft for their Air O Matic power steering system? Before I break something trying to install the new boot I figured I would ask whether the long rod that does all the pushing and pulling is threaded where it hooks into the drop link...

I emailed the GL folks today with the following: I live near Patrick AFB and Cape Canaveral Air Station and have noticed that hardly anything is being offered at the Canaveral Air Station location anymore. My guess is that you will probably close this location. I miss the old Patrick AFB GL...
