I need to replace the brushes in my starter can anyone give me pointers. At first glance the brushes look riveted to the case. I only want to do what I have to, to get them replaced. 2 are burnt. Thanks

Those braces are interesting. I've had quite a few CUCV's and parted out a few civilian suburbans and never ran across those braces.

I wish my hard starting fix was this simple. I replaced the filter base with one that didn't have the hole for the switch and the problem was not cured. If I park the truck with the nose up, even with only a slight incline, it seems like fuel must be pumped all the way from the tank. Sometimes a...

So the internals and pump are the same as a LDT or LDS? Was the LDS built before the LD? If not could a LD be built for a 5 ton? If pump timing is unique to the LD because the engine ran without a turbo, adding a turbo to it should not be done? Thanks

Hello I just bought this old engine in the wood crate (partial rotted) with the numbers in the title. There is no turbo on it now and I don't think it was removed although the heater was removed. I'm curious if this engine is exactly the same as a LDT only without the turbo or is the compression...

I've seen new tops go for $150. Maybe another $100 for the bows, but I'm not sure about bows except they are going to be hard to ship and probably need to be a local sale. Good Luck

In the M1010 is there a door between the front and back that you can lock? That would make the rear more secure when your away. I like the extra room the ambulance body provides over the s-250 shelter. I just don't want to lose any offroad capability. The ambulance looks heavier but then my...

I saw this while looking for camper ideas for my s250 shelter. Do you think this navy model has a friendlier highway speed than the M1028 or M1010? Are the M1010 ambulances geared with the 4.56?

Once we started scraping that white powder was under all the paint and the carc came off easily. I hate to think the whole trailer needs to be blasted. That powder has to come off, I think I'll try a pressure washer on it. I heard of guys painting their MV's with Behr house paint with good...

I have a couple of m101a2 trailers and we wanted them to look better. Upon scraping off the flaking paint, there is this white dust. Is this the galvanizing that has oxidized? Is it dangerous to breathe? Paint that is not flaking will scrape off, with that white powder underneath. This has...

From the title you can tell I don't know exactly what to call it. I need to tie down the shelter in the back of my M1028. I don't have the bar that runs across the bed that provides those 2 anchor points. I think I have everything else except the cables and turnbuckles. I would really like to...

I haven't had an air pack apart, so I don't have an understanding how it works, but it sounds like I'm going to get some experience. Quite a lot of brake fluid is coming up with the air when I let up on the pedal and it doesn't come up instantly, it boils up after a second or two after the pedal...

The air pack was frozen and the brake pedal was rock hard. I obtained a used air pack and installed it, built a power bleeder and bled the brakes. After bleeding I had about a half pedal without air. I started the truck and built up pressure. Still had the same pedal at first. I turned off the...

The truck was in civilian hands for a long time. He said it was used in hollywood, who knows maybe it was, but it is looking very rough right now. What is a reasonable price for dot 5? There might be a small amount of fluid left in the old booster. I'll check. I was hoping that if I bled the...

I wish I could siphon some out, but the MC is dry after changing the booster. If the salvaged fluid that I added dot 5 to gels, should I then be confident that what is in the truck is dot 3? How long does it take to gel when 3 and 5 are mixed? I did not add much dot 5 to the salvaged bottle of...

I had to replace the brake booster on my new to me truck and I caught the fluid in a plastic bottle when I disconnected the lines. The color was an amber yellow. The truck does not have any notices saying to use dot 5. I poured some dot 5 into the amber fluid I salvaged in the bottle but it...

I finally got all the fuel filters changed between rainstorms and the truck runs fine. Because of the brake problem I wasn't able to test the top speed, but when I was driving it home pulling a M105 with a deuce bed strapped to it, it would not rev over 2100 in any gear. I was like it was...

I pulled a plug on the back and it looked full of rust and dirt. When I get it off I'll see what the inside is really like. I bought a used booster from someone parting out a truck. Hope it works.

I had a deuce that I drove for over 5 years and the tank lift pump never did work. Went everywhere with that truck and had it over 70mph a few times, never changed filters either. I fixed the pump before I sold it,.... blown fuse. Made it start a lot quicker. I don't always fix it even if it's...

Frank, The truck ran good enough to get it home, but it does have a few problems. Learning that the gear pump can pull 60 to 80 lbs tells me why it did run. After I get the truck running again I need to replace the brake booster. It was interesting to say the least driving it 55 miles home with...
