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

    FINALLY drove it home today. :naner:First real drive over 2 miles. Stopped halfway home, checked everything and brought it home. I know 25 miles isn't a big trip, but it was with a truck I don't know much about. But.....we made it!!! Doesn't matter I drove 45-55 mph. Even did a hot restart...

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

    We had an extremely slow day at work, so I worked on the truck this afternoon. Did the Doghead relay, cleaned battery cables and grounds. Tightened belts, checked bulbs, fixed wires. I think alt 2 is slow, no gen2 light, and the bulb checked out good with an ohmmeter. Man I can't wait to get...

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

    Swiss, I'm sure I will. It's not in the 73-87 catalog, I found it in the 68-72 catalog. I used a very similar harness on Hondas to put in HID headlights, no problems and lots of peace of mind. One less thing to worry about. "Note" my switches were missing.

    Been lurking a while, I put the 2 switches for the blackout lights in the 1008 today. I got lights now!!!! And the horn works!!! I didn't know how much stuff goes through the headlight switches on these trucks.

    Shift points have changed

    Yup, mine shifted hard at 35 then also at 40. I put on a new piece of rubber line, and she shifts real nice, 25 then 35. Feels like a different truck. I love a 50 cent fix.[thumbzup]

    M101A2 Brake Flulid

    I'm going to chime in here, This is an interesting discussion. I do know not to mix different grades of brake fluids. However I have seen dot 3 swapped out to dot 5 on several cars that have gone thru our shop, and haven't really seen bad side effects. BUT I would flush the system completlely...

    new trailer! or trailer salad????

    If I understood the fella correctly, he kind of put this one together out of the leftover stuff from making an A1, A2, and an A3 as mint as possible. I think it looks better in person. Let me get it home so i can go over it. Lesson #1. If you buy a Harbor Freight Tow Light Kit, PLEASE check it...

    new trailer! or trailer salad????

    Thanks!!! Purpose? Scrap hauler, mostly. It would make a sweet camper if I had time to go camping. But, I always wanted one and I got a truck again, so when it showed up on craigslist I grabbed it. I hope the brakes work
