The guy who originally posted was concerned about high octane being bad for his engine. The reality is he would only get better performance/more power/run cooler with high octane. It would have no detriment except it cost more. The problem is the R6602 can't take advantage of the higher octane...

I saw this old post and just thought I'd add that that engine is the biggest or I guess the second biggest gas hog I have ever owned in a truck. Anyone that can afford to run and work one of these pigs, I guess can afford the extra cost of non-ethanol too. They do make nice power, and sound...

I've got the jeep mount(?) for the GRC19, but if it came with legs(?) I don't have those. I do have a R392, T195/b to go on the M851 mount. The M851, looks to me, fit on a platform of some kind that I think was meant to fit between the fenders of a M38 or M38a1. I haven't had much luck finding...

Those Warn and Bellevue 8274 winches are really strong. I have mine attached to a stinger so I can mount it to a receiver when I need it. I don't like carrying around the weight all the time on the truck, because I only use it to pull something occasionally, and on my trailer, not as a recovery...

Still needing this transportation. I can expand the delivery destination to parts of neighboring states where we could meet for me to bring it home the last leg, if that helps. Also a Fastenal shipment from your western location is a possibility. Fastenal won't ship eastern US to the west coast...

Hello, Transport needed for 2 pallets of fire truck parts. 1) 48"W x 132"L x 48"H - about 800lbs 2) 48"W x60"L x 48" H - about 450lbs Will load on flatbed 32' max length. If your destination is anywhere in Oregon or Washington, I could meet you there. Parts are available for pickup beginning...

I've used the ice pick method on broken starter bolts 2 or 3 times. I would have tried it in your case if I had room. It really helps to see what you're doing. Sending a drill bit in there is tricky, then the bit tightens the broken piece, then the easy out breaks off....then I turn to suicidal...

I've had luck just using an ice pick to spin the broken piece out especially if it broke off because it was loose. I would try that before drilling anything.

We could probably start a new thread on what our ex's did to our vehicles to get back at us!

I prefer the bolt on military type. Napa sells a crimper tool so you can change the end. I can replace them easily when they become a problem at a low cost. Less connections are better than more but, they are easily removed and cleaned. If you have to hammer them on, or twist them to get them...

Possibly it sounded like I meant special line, I just heard they were built on the same line but not mixed with civilian trucks on the line at the same time. Besides the electrical system differences and military specific parts they were 1984 vehicles and only used those parts in 1985 and 86...

I don't remember where I heard it, but CUCV's and civilian blazers weren't produced on the same line at the same time. GM had a special inspector waiting to make sure each CUCV was correct because they were getting a premium price for each. They were supposedly made in batches, probably by the...

I have seen some pictures of CUCV's sitting. Thought I'd post one. I'd be interested in seeing others.

Is it a 1984 model? Does it have the CUCV bumpers with the blackout cutouts? Once in a while I have seen the brush guard removed. They may not have needed a brush guard on a ship too often either.

What I have seen with the Air Force M1009's ....they were painted with a different shade of green, in the 3 color camo, like it had a little more gray tint to it The Air Force Deuces from the late 80's were the same. I don't know about Navy re-paints, but I remember seeing a black dually CUCV...

Working on a M1009 it developed a no juice problem to where it wouldn't have enough amps to turn the starter. It would go from not enough to being totally dead. I originally thought it had to be a battery terminal short, so I cleaned the posts and terminal connections so they shined. Turn the...

Thanks for checking, that is really good info.

There are some very good links about the GRC 19 and the T195 in this thread. If your unit is a T195a or T195b that huge power requirement had been updated with a solid state power supply and some of the original T195's were fitted as well. They ran at about 30amps and didn't have that 250amp...

Always nice to see hard to find military radio with good protection. lol Is it a working unit? The radio, that is.

I've read that page before, it has more info on the GRC 19 than anywhere I have been able to find so far, but other than the unit in a jeep, I don't recall anything about the M151. I have seen your picture before too, but it doesn't show any antenna's, or what is holding the mount off the floor...
