    Can't get steering knuckle off...

    Oh, no rush, just curious.

    Can't get steering knuckle off...

    Have we achieved victory here or what? I'm sure folks would like to hear which method worked for you.

    Cucv with nv4500 5 speed transmission transplant? Need info.

    My project achieves the same goal but has a different approach. I considered the NV but in the end using the torque splitter will be best for my gearing issues and use. I do like the shift characteristics of the NV much better.

    2014 Ga. Rally volunteers needed

    Please if someone tosses a runflat on the fire, dispatch a runner to the registration desk to notify us so that we can deploy the Dihydrogen monoxide dispenser.

    Can't get steering knuckle off...

    Agreed on the tapered bushings. A chisel will do nothing but harm to your cause. In addition to the method mentioned there 2 other ways commonly used. One is to reinstall the nuts until they are flush with the stud on top and tack weld them together. From there you can back the stud off. The...

    Can't get steering knuckle off...

    It's been 20 years since I've owned a 5 ton. Does this have studs on the top that go through a steering arm? If so they have tapered bushings that are undoubtedly gripping the studs. Let me know as I have a couple of ways to remove them.

    Movin south from NH to NC

    Wow. I understand it's new employment but do you think you would be able to dissappear for a day or two in Oct for the rally? Be safe brother.

    Center flip/fold console Seat? (When using 2 bucket seats)

    I have one in my ambulance that I got off CL for $35. Many moons ago a friend of mine installed 2 springers in his deuce. For only the cost of time and welding wire, he took a standard deuce companion seat and narrowed it into a jump seat. He made a dring holder and used magnets to secure it...

    Cucv with nv4500 5 speed transmission transplant? Need info.

    You can always search using google and get the results. The answer is yes, the swap has been done and some of the info has been discussed here.

    Starter FUBAR

    Semantics really but since you had nothing else to add, lets take a look. GM designers had a parameter to design the vehicle within. They opted to use a relay that is used for something else. The relay isn't up to the task. There is no defect with the relay, it works just fine in it's...

    Official 2014 SS Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Some circus clown in another thread asked for the key code for a CUCV. This got me looking and I just got a really good deal on a bunch of blanks. I have the Curtis hand cutter that most dealerships used so I'll bring that and blanks for anyone needing CUCV keys.

    Wonder if Sam Werner's place has any mite stuff left.

    Noob with a condition H question

    Welcome to Steel Soldiers. You will find a wealth of information here. Would you please take a moment to update your location to at least your state of residence. It helps a bunch with logistics and help for members and is one of the site requirements. Again, welcome aboard!

    Starter FUBAR

    Yeah, mine do to. Poor wreckerman! CUCV's tend to fog the minds of the big truck crowd. There is a couple of things going on at once in the electrical system. Many see them as a cobbled together system, I see it as genius (well, except for that stupid factory starter relay).

    Off-Road Camping Trailer

    I played the video in the car and couldn't hear the audio. Probably worked well as it saved me from spitting all over the steering wheel.

    Rear hitch on M1101 / 1102?

    Good deal. I figured it would go well.

    Possible answer, CUCV's are a little above their skill set?

    Off-Road Camping Trailer

    The Aussies are hardcore outbacksmen. I see that selling down under. With that said, I went by the rover dealership the other day and they had a truck parked on the rocks. I need to go figure out what it was. Looked like a modern day Volvo Laplander radio truck is the best way I could...
