    Good tire question

    SOLD, to the lowest bidder. I had one blow on me once and it was quite impressive, all that was left was the bead and a ringing in my ears. I changed my daily driver tires to BFG MT km2 load range E and they are great. I have had them on over a year and they just dont ware. I am running...

    Will the stock alternators charge 4 batteries?

    Just remember that Alternators don't charge batteries, They only maintain and top off. If you try over and over again to charge a dead battery the alt. will die. Maybe not completely, maybe just the rectifier but it will fail for sure. That is why the Military kept the Generators for so long...

    Good tire question

    Well I guess I will be just like the others. Look in the TM and it will tell you. The M1008, M1010, M1028, M1031 used tires made by Firestone according to the numbers in the TM and the M1009 used Bridgestone. But what do I know, I just worked on them every day. Now maybe the Base they were...

    Oil Pan Gasket or RTV?

    If there is a Fel-Pro gasket made for it, use a gasket. I have an 85 and had various others in the early and later years and always used a gasket and never had an issue. I will say, if you are pulling the pan, change the rear main seal at the same time. FTV Has its place but it is not for oil...

    Good tire question

    I would say firestone. Every CUCV I have ever bought from the gov had firestone destinations on it.

    6.2l fuel injectors

    I was told the turbo injectors would allow too much fuel and will lower the fuel economy and cause even more smoke(if that is possible) How was the performance of it after the swap? That was one of my options was the 6.5 turbo marine injectors with the 4 spray holes

    6.2l fuel injectors

    when you figure it out let me know. I have been looking for a few years to get injectors and have no solid answers yet. I have been told marine injectors from a 6.5, I have been told 6.5 injectors for a 1 ton van, I have been told to stay with oe stock units and so far they all have pros and...

    Bed Liner for M101 A1 trailer?

    It has been on both trailers for well over 2 years and no problems at all. I did prep the trailers myself first by sandblasting them to bare metal before getting them lined. I figured the same thing, that the liner would not stick to the CARC, that is why I blasted it but the tailgate was done...

    Poll - Who has done the Doghead Relay Conversion

    I have a TM from 2002 I think but it is a paper copy. I do have a couple of the Commercial kits here in stock. When I can a chance I can scan and post the sheet that came in the kit. Trombetta apparently made a few kits for mil vehicles because they are the company that the NSN for the Glow...

    Bed Liner for M101 A1 trailer?

    I looked for over a year and any pickup I found with the bed being close was always an old truck that they just dont make a commercial bed liner for so I just had my 101 and 116 Rhino lined. It was like 400.00 for the 101a2 and 325.00 for the 116a2 and it made the 101 into a water tank because...

    Whats the reason behind motor oil in the fuel tank..?

    The Standyne pump in a CUCV was designed to run on JP8 which is basically ultra low sulfur K1 Kero and that has almost zero lube in it. I have been running JP8 for a few years and have had no problems and also have had no smoke, unless I run regular pump Diesel. I do however add about every...

    Sherwin Williams CARC 383 green Moisture Cure

    It says right on the mil spec sheet you need to thin it and what to use. I use the SW CARC all the time and use Polane reducer and yes 1 gallon will be more then enough, just make sure it is very well scuffed first. Sand it 2 or 3 times and use a coarse scotch bright pad also a few time to be...

    Poll - Who has done the Doghead Relay Conversion

    Just wondering why you keep calling this the doghead mod? It is in the latest TM for the CUCV and there is even a part number to buy the correct 12/24 relay from trombetta. Remember this uses 12v t close the relay and has 24v passing through it. Also this mod was only used when installing...

    Rear Diff Smells like a Sewer PLUS: ID these diff parts???

    Just go back a few years and get a 12 bolt Chevy blazer rear and bolt it in. Brakes, lines, e-brake are all the same and they even had them with 3.08 gears. Only difference is the U-joint, You will need a conversion joint because the yoke is smaller by about .040 on the later model to the...

    Newbie needs help with a small part...

    #9 is available in the Help/Motormite/Dorman section of an auto part store or from a Jeep parts store. I stock them for replacement on the front axle disconnect used on Jeep & Dodge vehicles. It is not really needed but it makes it nice to unhook and reconnect the lines if needed.
