Did you scrap the bronze beast yet? There is a SS member here wanting to build a crewcab CUCV and needs what you have on that trailer. Here is his thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/94081-hack-job-crew-cab-cucv.htmlaua fat lady sings :doghead: :jumpin...

One man's trash, another man's treasure!! If you go to this thread. page 7 you will see what you are looking for going to the scrapper: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/90710-chucv-soup-animal.html?highlight=cHucv+Soup%3A+animal cHucv Soup: The animal to be Aint life strangeaua

Why not try a chevy inline 6 cylinder. You can rev it and still be using less gas. I think they had 230, 250 and 292 CID versions. With the stock gearing of the CUCV, you should get 3,000 rpms around 60-65 mph. I got a '79 firebird for free and it had the 230 version in it and I may give it a...

Are you mechanically inclined? Will you be maintaining it or will you have someone else working on it? They are butt simple but they are intimidating to the unfamiliar mechanic. I just got 4 of them off the GL sight and they all purr but 2 have starting issues that I will diagnose. If you get...

Thanks for contributing to the thread. I suspected the neutral carries current under load. Before I start, a certified master electrician will be doing my install. With that. I would like to use a 4 conductor for wiring to the transfer switch to the mep002. Those being 2 conductors for L1 and...

You sir have some nice rigs!!![thumbzup] Pull the CAT engine and install a big displacement small block chevy engine. I'd get a White Bros. Racing fuel injection with a duel fuel O2 sensor and then you could run a mix of race fuel (leaded) and ethanol gas (for the octane). I think the allison...

I tried to retrain old girlfreinds and now my dog. RETRAIN a phone WAAaaaasss that all about?:confused: You can tune a piano but you can't tune a fish.................:doghead:

I 'm sure the engine can be turned up but will the tranny handle it? Here's My 2cents. Keep your A3 the way it is and do all the PM and the tranny flush. Get the appropriate brakes and controllers for your trailer for your toys to mate up to your A3 in a safe operational manner. Plan your...

Thanks for the pictures. I think I will fab up a bracket for a cheap 10si one wire delco 12 volt alternator for my A3.

Great Job on the fine truck! The last bunch of pictures showed why it made total sense to use the subframe. There is a bunch of stuff mounted in the subframe.[thumbzup]

I can see it made sense to use the subframe. I have a 1956 f700 ford with a 2-3 yard dump box on it and I thought of installing the dump box on my M35A3. I can see it would make sense just to cut the truck frame and use it as a subframe like you did.[thumbzup]

You have a nice looking dumper there. In your opinion, how much extra work is it to eliminate the subframe?:driver:

I would add the stuff I described to a truck like this truck.:-D on page 2 on APM215's post.

The bobbed 6x6 is an intriguing idea. Great for soft ground. I'd put a steer axle on the rear tandem location. I thinks the M35A3 would be the best with CTIS and the automatic. and the super singles.:jumpin::driver::mrgreen::doghead: Even better would be bob the truck as above and add a...

I would try to see if the exhaust manifold has a cold cylinder (cylinder not firing). Is the IP timed correctly? can you crack ( loosen just a bit) each injector line individually while the engine is running slow then maybe a bit faster and notice a change in speed as line is cracked? Do the...

Thanks for taking the time to explain this subject. Along with the above ground diagram and your explanation, I am seeing very important distinctions in the grounding and neutral circuit. I believe the solid neutral is the way to go for the single phase transfer switch for the home use. I...

I saw this, printed it off and am studying it. thanks for The Idea. I will invest in the appropriate, safe connectors capable of handling the current and correct number of conductors. I am thinking and pondering your explanation and am researching connectors and conductors. THaniks for your...

Mep-002A, Can I... Can I hook up a 4 conductor, female twist lock connector for running a 3 phase machine from the appropriate L-ought-1-2-3 while still also hooking up an appropriate 3 conductor twist lock connector to go to the transfer switch to run the home circuit breaker for 240-110...

Your Thread is fun to read and listen to. Thanks for posting everything.[thumbzup]

Thanks for writing this article and doing the research to write it!!! I have a fresh 002a rebuilt in 2007 with 6 hours on it and I am skooling up on it before I attempt to start it up. Your article was well written, informative, followed and supported facts I had gleaned from other sources...
