My truck is a drop side and the markings I have are specific to that. I did see the sticker on the rear you referenced on a truck for sale in the classifieds and it was an Air force truck. You can see the lettering clearly in one of the photos. RL

You want TB 43-0147 or TB43-0209 OR TM 43-0139 The first has the patterns and the rest are regarding markings unit ids and other aspects of proper military painting. I downloaded all of these from the resources section of the site under Technical Manuals. There are other manuals that...

The reason I was told for doing the upgrade to the air operated switch is to eliminate the risk of a blown diaphram in the hydraulic switch allowing the brake fluid to be heated up and catch fire. I saw this personally at the MTA this year. A deuce was parked, engine off, lights on, and a fire...

That should work fine. As I recall the fuse panel has the plug in type of fuses and they are 1/4 inch lugs. You can use a piece of sand paper folded in half to clean the terminals if need be if the cleaner does not work. 2cents RL

Hundy is west coast isn't he, California?????? RL

Now, I would want HIFI high quality speakers and then pipe the SINGCARS into the system to blast the hiss of the radio as loud as possible....no, I am just kidding..... ;) 2cents RL

I have heard from other members of DMV offices that are MV friendly and will be sure to use one of them the next time, even if I have to drive an hour or more. Thanks for the information DBURD! RL

If you have an electronics supply in the area you can get a can of "contact cleaner". The stuff used to be known as "tuner cleaner" when everyoine had rotary dial tv's . The stuff is expensive but it removes the corrosion and then leaves a coating that inhibits corrosion after it evaporates...

If you have a spare, I would get the flat off, the spare on, and then consider your options. If the tire is still in good condition, I would have it fixed. IUf the tire is worn, it is not worth paying someone to fix it and if you ruined the tube definitely the cost will not be worth it...

I looked through all the unit manuals and did not find a detail on the actual valve for the wipers. I imagine that when one was leaking it was replaced. I actually need to take mine apart at some time and see if it needs a new o-ring or if the bushing for the shaft is worn too much. I am in...

Sounds like you have a brake dragging. I would block the wheels, and jack up one axle at a time and check the brake adjustment. The wheel should turn freely with a hint if drag of the shoes. Any more and it will be too much. If you need to adjust the brakes it is not too bad to do a minor...

Glad you got this figured out. It is not fun to encounter the maze that is NYS DMV and I had my share of problems with my deuce mostly because they had no idea how to deal with the situation. Thanks for sharing RL

I would add that unless you are insured and registered you are operating illegally and could face the wrath of the LEO if you are unfortunate enough to encounter one in an official capacity. That would be another log on the fire of those who wish we were not on the road for any reason with our...

My truck has the LDS motor and with the S280 shelter on the back gets about 7 mpg on a good day without hills. If I am in hilly country, or if there is a head wind figure one or two mpg less. Sort of stinks to get less that the other deuces, but then again, I do not downshift very often on...

Typically a 12 volt battery wants to top out at right around 13.8 volts give or take a tiny bit. 13.8 is what is called the float charge point where you can keep that voltage going to the battery and it will not overcharge and it will not boil out. Multiply 13.8 x 2 and you get (wait a minute...

I replaced one on my Suburban (exactly the same as a cucv) and had a local body shop order it for me. I paid $100 tax and shipping included. I am pretty sure these are too big to go UPS or FEDEX. I may be wrong, but hey, that has happened before and will undoubtedly happen again. In any...

The difficulty with the 3.5 inch speakers is that even on the best day they do not have good bass response. I have a suburban with the same dash and fortunately I have decent speakers in the rear so I do not rely on the fronts for more than clarity. Another consideration is the intended...

Now I am curious and will have to check in the morning and see what mine say. I have the one on the side and the one on the back but neither mention the pintle hitch. Ahhh inquiring minds want to know. RL p.s. I will take pics

here are the links for a cucv Operators manual http://old.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&type=file&func=get&tid=1&fid=file&pid=6 Unit maintanence manual http://old.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&type=file&func=get&tid=1&fid=file&pid=8 Unit maintanence repair...

The pump does come apart if need be I need to add some clarification to my post. If the power steering pump is a standard Saginaw pump it has a sheet metal housing which holds the resevoir of fluid for the pump. That entire pump assembly can be taken apart and rebuilt. This includes removing...
