I can't see why parts off a regular K-5/10/30 wouldn't work in a CUCV. After all, they're practically identical.

Thanks for the pics. Is there any way you can post them with a higher resolution? I have a hard time seeing what is (or in this case isn't?) in there. Bad connections can make the gauges do funny things - good luck finding out just where, though. Although, the oil pressure usually does peg the...

I think all my gauges are illuminated. Gotta check next time we have an eclipse. Where to buy bulbs? If it were me, I'd find out what type (number) they are, then get them, most likely, from Amazon. Or Napa if it's urgent.

Supposedly most people are also killed by .22s, not larger calibers. After three 1-shot coyote kills from about 80 yards, I'm now a believer in the "power" of that cheap rimfire.

Yes, thanks Guy! I glanced through that Student Manual and learned that I've been wrong (as usual). This time about the warning lights. I took for granted that the left one was for 4WD, but it's the PTO. And what I thought was the PTO, on the far right, is really for the splitter. While it's...

Okay, this is a long shot, but if some SS member is travelling from the Denver area south and could bring a sliding rear window for a Chevy pickup, and possibly also a pair of camper mirrors, that'd be great. It's for my low budget M1008, and the window may not survive regular shipping - which...

Good as new. Okay, maybe the UV will kill this fix soon, but at least it should keep the dust and rain out for a while. Plus, it didn't cost a dime, and has that elegant color coordinated touch.

All I have is a 15-gallon aluminum tank off a reefer trailer, which I've already considered using. It was just quicker to mount and plumb in the stocker. If, for whatever reason, the sending unit/pickup would have to be removed, well then I'd probably have to change the tank. As it is now, that...

A headache rack sure wouldn't hurt, but that mount isn't as bad as you may think. It's not channel, but 1/4-inch wall, 4-inch square tubing, welded on three sides, not just to the frame flanges. Same with the rear receiver. If anything, it may be too inflexible and make the frame rip apart, but...

You're welcome, farmertan. I've spent all my money on FLUs now, so while the neighbors use .17s a lot, the sod poodles (aka prairie dogs) here get converted to bird food using the cheap and trusty .22. And I hope your SEE's switch works not just with the test light now, but in real life. It...

For what it's worth, I've been running front Detroits (same principle as the Spartan) for decades without any steering issues. Yes, they're in Jeeps, not CUCVs, but still. In my trail Jeep, after replacing a Powr-Lok (superior to the Trac-Lok, by the way) the steering became much improved...

I'm glad you appreciate the information. As you may recall, English is not my native language, either, so when I built my Jeep (in Europe, as mentioned earlier) I had to figure out the language, how to buy parts I couldn't make, and many, many other things. And please keep in mind that what I...

I know the feeling. I still hadn't got rid of all the glass from the busted side windows, which is how this came when I got it some 15 years ago.

So, about my Rusty-imitation and what happened. The plan for the day was to move some dirt using the M1008 and dump trailer, which is not uncommon. By the fourth load or so I had already thought (again) about that it'd be a very good thing to put a brake control in the M1008, and how nice it...

So did I. But that didn't keep me from pointing out the obvious.

Indeed, some of them do. For example, just when I think that you at least have grasped the very basics, you throw something like using a drive shaft for an M1008 into the mix. Also, Ilikemtb999 has answered - very patiently, I might add - several of your questions, yet you seem to ignore the...

Glad to hear that. Surely you can then easily perform what might be the 2-millionth K-5 lift without any further assistance from me.

Sure it does. If you change the fuel tank.

Yeah, it could be that easy...if you get the right stuff and/or think it through first. But I'm starting to wonder if you even have a torque wrench (mostly for the new U-bolts), let alone a mill to take the taper out of the lift blocks.
