Also, the blazers have 3.08 gears and will run 70 all day long. The pickups have 4.56 gears and will only run 70 for a short period of time before the pistons start swapping holes.

There is a small lense right under the hood that sticks out. It is possible that someone painted over it or replaced it with something completely unrelated to the CUCV family of trucks. This may help! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackout_light

Sorry, yes it is!

Litterally, it's a light! It helps you see at night. Check out that Owners TM, it explains it.

IIRC, Randy will sell you a single lockout and a single double splined shaft as a kit. Another option is to reach out to tie6044. He has offered the very set you seek, in the past.

Admin, please "ah" to the au.....Awe, heck with it! My new to me sidewinder will look pretty sweet with 100' of "Military Grade" $26.00 winch cable spooled on!

I'm always good for a laugh! Now, stay on topic or Drew will waffle is with the stay on topic GIF.

It's a decent winch but the ultimate draw for me is the ability to almost completely hide it behind the bumper of the truck. Treated with common sense, it should last a long time. Sacrificial abuse will net you looking for parts that just aren't that available.

Here's mine repurposed to the M101A3.

That's the one Larry. Prices on these are usually between $100 an $1500. Those familiar with them, covet them. Those that have never seen one shy away. They are an excellent choice for a hidden mount. A pic of mine attached.

When I get to work I will dig up a pic. Unable to attach pics from a phone. For the inquisitive type, it's a Hickey Sidewinder. Note correct use of "a"

Welcome aboard Sir. Seals are available for the injection pumps. Any local Stanadyne dealer can help. As far as the stuff in the grill, one is a blackout drive light and the other a slave port. Read about these in the Operator Manual, TM 9-2320-289-10. It's a free download in the TM section...

My experience was similar. Sold all my tops to aboonski. Had a steel topper on it for years. The steel topper is now on my M101A3.

My wrecker project will get 255/85R16 BFGs. They are 33" tall and skinny so the fit the dually rim. A 305/70R16 could be run on the front if you wanted a wider tire.

I agree 100% Sir!

For what it's worth, the trans setup used in the 4-53 video is the same one going into my CUCV wrecker project. Should be boatloads of fun.

I had same issue, DH pointed out what you need to do!

If you're going to do a nylon injected joint in a vice, you better have lots of heat and a troop of chimps to crank it!

Prices will stabilize if the sales continue. The first guy on the block will pay more than subsequent sales. I remember one of the very first M35A3 trucks sold. It came out of Homestead ARB FL and with taxes and fees, eclipsed $50,000. Somebody had to have the first one and paid a premium. I...

My experience with the injected nylon dictates the use of a decent size press, A decent sized impact tool and/or both combined with heat. Heat makes things much easier.
