CUCV brakes It could also be a broken return spring for the shoes or also a rock that got weged in there. Jack it up, remove the wheel, and then remove the drum. If they have never been removed there are two or three star washer style retainers over the studs that hold the drum on with the...

My state is not the same as yours but supposedly any police officer is elegible to do the inspection. This should include the local PD in the nearest town or the sherrif or the state police too but your mileage will vary. I'm not sure if they are allowed to charge for this as this is part of the...

food for 2010 ralley Sorry to butt in, where is the link for the 2010 ralley for said ralley food? Sorry, been searching. Perhaps edit top of thread and place date there too? jimm1009

Me too if I can keep the correct M105A1 look without too much trouble. I have to haul some gravel for anew house that was recently built (#2 son) and a dump would sure make it easy (easier anyway) to unload. I'm guessing an independent 12 volt standalone hydraulic pack is most practical unless...

Some say that it is a 12 step process but I say scr#w it and jump in head first! How else is a guy going to get wet? :razz:

?? I would explore and resolve insurance and storage issues as long as you have the funding taken care of. Confirm that you can get fair insurance coverage for a fair price and the registration thing in your state. Some states have a provision for registering without a license plate which...

Not trying to dampen andone's ideas on tool fabrication as we should all be able to design or modify the tools for our beloved trucks as we are their keepers now. I did a google search and was wondering if this is the Sanpon tool that one of you mentioned earlier in hte thread (see PDF...

That make your horn ADAC compliant! ;) The relay can be bad and is a really cheap fix at almost any puto parts store. The ground can be bad due to rust on the plate under the button on the steering wheel and also the contact with spring can be an issue too. Perhaps try plugging a volt meeter...

stolen truck I wonder if posting the actual VIN in Craigslist and E-bay customer service departments may help. If they see it come up as an ad on their website they could call it in to the local authorities perhaps. I think that the Texas law about horse stealing should also apply to a man's...

You can also hook it to the OEM terminal strip on the firewall. The is just to the right of the wiper motor on the left portion of the firewall. If you are still 24 volts the resister board is connected to it. It has two studs of different sizes. This is 12 volts and there is a hot (non...

Replacement batteries You can go to autozone and buy two group 60 batteries for about $80.00 each and they have more cranking power than those military units and last four times as long. Unless you need them for a show vehicle, i would not recommend buying them due to price and longevity...

I would advise anyone finding a wire without protection to add it. A wire that has not protection via fuse or circuit breaker can catch stuff on fire and / or melt the wire into another wire or wires and really screw stuff up. A generic in-line fuse holder can be purchased at 98% of all auto...

Those three capacitors are used for noise filtering when the military radios are installed. You don't need them for anything unless you will be installing some sort of military radio that is sensitive to RF noise. jimm1009

Welcome aboard You can acquire the correct color paint from Rapco in the Dallas area. He will come up in a Google search under Rapco Parts and he also has a good sized add in Military Vehicles Magazine in case you have one. The paint that he sells is a CARC substitue and can be purchased in...

The lights also have to have both mounting bolts installed and obviously clean as well (goo ground) or on set of bulbs will work but not the other. I don't remember which side is for which set but both bolts are required for all the lights to work inside of the light assembly. jimm1009

Any older truck or car of that era needs a heavy duty flasher when you hook up a trailer. The standard flasher is only strong enough for four bulbs which is the four on the tow vehicle. left and right front / left and right rear. #5 & 6 from the trailer make it malfunction. Heavy duty is what...

Farm Bureau here in Louisiana since late 1995. I only have liability but never any problems with acceptance for coverage. jimm1009

I was born and raised in Indiana but moved away in 1988 so things may have changed but this is the first that I have heard of not needing a title. My '46 jeep is still titled there and I had to have a title to register it but that was done in 1986 or 87. The draw back to a sale from someone...

Trailer Chains O.K. I was able to get some information for anyone wanting it. Attached is one picture and a PDF document containing a brief written description too. As usual, open the attachments in a new window by right-clicking on them and it works much faster. Regards, jimm1009
