    Power steering pump bracket

    I've used the ice pick method on broken starter bolts 2 or 3 times. I would have tried it in your case if I had room. It really helps to see what you're doing. Sending a drill bit in there is tricky, then the bit tightens the broken piece, then the easy out breaks off....then I turn to suicidal...

    Power steering pump bracket

    I've had luck just using an ice pick to spin the broken piece out especially if it broke off because it was loose. I would try that before drilling anything.

    M1008.... been sitting awhile. Post pictures of what you have or have found!

    We could probably start a new thread on what our ex's did to our vehicles to get back at us!

    Electrical problem solved

    I prefer the bolt on military type. Napa sells a crimper tool so you can change the end. I can replace them easily when they become a problem at a low cost. Less connections are better than more but, they are easily removed and cleaned. If you have to hammer them on, or twist them to get them...

    Navy m1009 ?

    Possibly it sounded like I meant special line, I just heard they were built on the same line but not mixed with civilian trucks on the line at the same time. Besides the electrical system differences and military specific parts they were 1984 vehicles and only used those parts in 1985 and 86...

    Navy m1009 ?

    I don't remember where I heard it, but CUCV's and civilian blazers weren't produced on the same line at the same time. GM had a special inspector waiting to make sure each CUCV was correct because they were getting a premium price for each. They were supposedly made in batches, probably by the...

    M1008.... been sitting awhile. Post pictures of what you have or have found!

    I have seen some pictures of CUCV's sitting. Thought I'd post one. I'd be interested in seeing others.

    Navy m1009 ?

    Is it a 1984 model? Does it have the CUCV bumpers with the blackout cutouts? Once in a while I have seen the brush guard removed. They may not have needed a brush guard on a ship too often either.

    Navy m1009 ?

    What I have seen with the Air Force M1009's ....they were painted with a different shade of green, in the 3 color camo, like it had a little more gray tint to it The Air Force Deuces from the late 80's were the same. I don't know about Navy re-paints, but I remember seeing a black dually CUCV...

    Electrical problem solved

    Working on a M1009 it developed a no juice problem to where it wouldn't have enough amps to turn the starter. It would go from not enough to being totally dead. I originally thought it had to be a battery terminal short, so I cleaned the posts and terminal connections so they shined. Turn the...

    M151 GRC/19 Radio installation

    There are some very good links about the GRC 19 and the T195 in this thread. If your unit is a T195a or T195b that huge power requirement had been updated with a solid state power supply and some of the original T195's were fitted as well. They ran at about 30amps and didn't have that 250amp...

    M151 GRC/19 Radio installation

    I've read that page before, it has more info on the GRC 19 than anywhere I have been able to find so far, but other than the unit in a jeep, I don't recall anything about the M151. I have seen your picture before too, but it doesn't show any antenna's, or what is holding the mount off the floor...

    M151 GRC/19 Radio installation

    I don't know about the GRC/19 in a M151, but they were in jeeps. The MT851 was made to mount the "19" in a jeep. They put the AN/MRC 108 in the M151a1, but the jeep was beefed up to carry it. It would have made the GRC/19 considered a lightweight. The GRC/19 is heavy and very complex and is...

    M151 GRC/19 Radio installation

    Thanks for the link. A lot of radio information there, but nothing I saw on the GRC/19. Maybe it wasn't used in the M151. Seems like it could have been since the "19" was used into the early 70's and they built the 195b late 60's. I thought it would be a easier, smaller installation, than the...

    M151 GRC/19 Radio installation

    Has anyone put this into their MUTT? Pictures would be outstanding! I'm considering doing it as a display, but question how it mounts. Are there legs under the MT851? I've seen a few pictures of the GRC/19 in the rear of a jeep, and it looks like it is off the floor, and something is under it. I...
