    Just boguht my first deuce, what can you tell me about it?

    congrats man, keep the TM as your new bible.. things come up, don't get discouraged when they do. Some jobs are better left to HD truck repair shops with specialty tools. It helps to pre-determine what sections of the TM they might need to help with the process and print them out. These...

    CUCV Help

    my problem that is similar sounding to this was bad glow plugs mixed with collapsed internally mufflers (rusted out inside) but it could be several things... it sure does sound like un burnt fuel though! forgot to mention my timing chain was FUBAR when I got the truck...was so loose it could...

    My axle fell off on the way home!

    dont curve ball this to us leaning on you because your some kind of victim. you did some seriously un safe things that warranted input for you and others reading as a 'let this be an example' kind of thing. A succession of 5 bumps trying to brake that Ford rig of yours and you would have...

    My axle fell off on the way home!

    judging by how that dump is loaded on that trailer with that little Ford squashed in front, i'd say not too close Jonathan... wow.just wow. when getting an unfamiliar truck you should always do or have someone qualified to do an inspection prior to driving it . you could have killed someone...

    CUCV gun trucks?

    exactly, and if you don't like it who gives a ****. it works, it was custom built, and its not trying to be anything it isn't. You said armour, I did not. The plywood is there to minimize wind on the highway and visible blockage for the stuff in the back. WHY are you even picking at this...

    M1009 gun truck

    haha rgr here it is... I was looking for it ;) So the cage is done.. The turret itself slides into angles and bolts so it is quickly installed/removed yet very secure. The cage bolts in using the current top bolting locations so it can be run with or without the top. Once the turret is...

    CUCV gun trucks?

    here is one..this particular one supports the M60. I like the guy laughing his ass off over a CUCV with a mounted LMG, its just as useful as any soft skinned HMMWV, jeep, deuce. Not everything in its day had armour like it does today. Guys stuck their necks out there lots without adequate...

    M1009 Hard Shifting tranny, first post

    I put all the old stuff back on and she is shifting back to the way it was before I started. very strange but I think what happened was the plastic reducer on line #5 off the T (firewall side) broke when I changed it so I forced the smaller line onto the bigger fitting. I think it caused some...

    M1009 Hard Shifting tranny, first post

    alright fella's I have a problem. Last fall I found a bad vaccum line and changed it (#5) and it started shifting like a champ. This past August it started shifting a bit late again so I figured, easy! I will just change all the rest of the lines and be done with it. Well I changed all the...
