Already have an A2 I have an eye on. I'm houseless right now, so it would be a camper/rv of sorts but more tailored to long term use.

Do brake shoe linings fail due to age vs use? Brake hardware, like springs, I can see.. Shoe linings/pads/drums? Not sure if that's needed? Parking brake, I can see as well...

I think it was Doghead that said 'If it's rubber, replace it, if it's electrical clean it' or something to that effect... I agree that there will be stuff that pops up. The idea being to make everything as bulletproof as possible, to minimize frustrations/failures down the road... pardon the...

So, I've been thinking about the best way to make sure that a deuce is a reliable daily driver. I'm trying to make a 'To Do List'. Because I don't know the history of a vehicle that I buy, I usually replace all the fluids as a start, but this heavy equipment being 50+ years old, and not knowing...

I hate to necro a thread, but I did WMO in my CUCV.... and I figured I'd share my results. I'm going off of memory from about a decade ago, so I might be remembering things a bit wrong. I used random oil from friends, that comprised mainly of 5W30 and 10W30, along with ATF and my own 15W40. I...

Just an FYI, the Solargizer is a desulfator/maintainer, NOT a battery charger.

Charge the battery asap. A discharged battery left discharged will be permanently damaged in short order.

Also, off hand, anyone know which line on the trans, and trans cooler, are in/out? I'm trying to flush and check for flow restrictions. Thanks.

I've been tearing through the TMs, and MULTIPLE times, I go to look for a part, and it shows, let's say, 1-12 parts labelled in the figure, but will only display parts 6,7, and 8.. Look in the index, and same thing. This has happened numerous times, and it's driving me insane. I can't trust...

Can an improperly adjusted VRV cause a transmission to fail in short order, like, less than 5k miles?

I dunno if I should laugh, or cry. I wanna do both.

well...... :/

I would definitely appreciate some wrench turners, if at all possible.

Good luck. They're one of the rarest CUCVs, just behind the M1028A2 in terms of rarity.

Hardly. Removed the engine/trans from the wrecked M1009.

It's steel framed and aluminum skin. You can get a rough idea by looking at the curb weight of the M1010 vs the M1008 M1010 Curb Weight 7370 lbs M1008 Curb Weight (Total) 5900 lbs (2679 kg) distributed 55% front/45% rear If we assume a truck bed weighs about 500 lbs, that would...

Everything is electronic. A sensor malfunctions or fails and you'll be in limp home mode, about 20 MPH. Replacement parts are expensive. Yellow engines are expensive.

I'm looking at a 1987 M35A2... I've been told that all of the 87's were on an Air Force contract. What are the differences between the older pre-87 m35A2s? I've heard they have a knockout for landing lights, a heater, an air lock front axle, and a dual circuit brake system. Is that true? What...

I got sucked into .mil vehicles because I wanted a diesel vehicle, and kept seeing these olive drab K5 blazers go for stupid low money because some idiot converted it to 24V and put a big brush guard on it... oh.. wait.. what? 24V ? Who would do that?!. Wha... why does that look like a factory...
