    Rons Classifieds News, July Edition

    This can become a double-edged sword if the seller lowers their price after the fact. I tried modifying the title of a thread of mine awhile back, and the change was not reflected until you opened the thread.

    New Guy Here M1031

    Put me first in line for the complete box (with generator and compressor) if you decide to remove them. Is this the truck that got auctioned through Fort Carson, or did you buy it through a private sale?

    M1008 troop seat project

    The back rests, or sideboards (as I call them), do not fold and are fixed in place. Only the seat bottoms fold up/down, and visibility is very poor with all eight seats folded up.

    Electrical Issues (alternators, headlights, etc.)

    Check the brake light fuse for failure, the ground wires behind the tail lights, and double-check the bulbs. I've attached my most recent fuse block diagram, which is corrected from the version(s) in the CUCV Wiki. The brake light fuse is listed as "stop lights", which I'll change in my next...

    003 shut down, low oil pressure diag procedure?

    You are correct: Horizontal knob = warm/normal weather Vertical knob = cold weather

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Any cutting or modifications required to get it mounted? Oh, and I'm a big fan of that license plate mount, though I may be a bit biased... :-P

    Interstate Driving Etiquette

    Minor thread derailment, but relevant to visibility on the highway, so... The 8"x8" size delineator plates are available (new) from a gentleman on everyone's favorite auction site, the electronic body of water.

    GL new website

    I used to click that button a lot, only to find the single truck/trailer that I was just viewing. Got an e-mail a hour or two ago advertising the launch of their new website.

    MEP-003A/Trailer Measurement Please

    Lord knows I don't like to be "that guy" out bumping really old threads, but... Anyone have the measurements to locate the oil drain hole in AceHigh's photo? I think the location is the same (or close enough) for the MEP-002A that I have. I'm interested to know the specs on the grommet, too. ...

    m100 and m416 recovery

    High pressure gas cylinders to refill SCBA tanks in the field? Good looking pair of trailers, Porkchop!

    Pop went the weasel. Any ideas?

    If this broke, I'm sure you'll hear a lot of other wonderful noises coming from inside the crankcase and/or valvetrain.

    Medical "Study" on diesel exhaust

    That's true for underground coal operations, specifically at the working face, where the coal is actively being extracted. MSHA rules for ventilation, airflow, and air quality are very strict due to the dangers associated with stray sparks, static charge, open flames, etc., when working in a...

    Surge brake lockout safety tip!

    I tested it both ways, handbrakes on and handbrakes off, with no change in function.

    need help trouble shooting a mep002

    Amen, Jerry... I grew up mechanically disinclined, and am now a big believer in "teaching men to fish", so to speak.

    Surge brake lockout safety tip!

    I've tried a tapered punch as well as several different sized screwdrivers, nothing moves the lunette coupler any further forward. My M101A3 and a previous M116A2 both pinned easily with 3/8" Grade-8 bolts, but this new trailer isn't having it.

    Surge brake lockout safety tip!

    I'm having a similar problem with an M116A2E1 trailer that I recently purchased..... My shock absorber compresses and extends normally, but the slot cut in the upright piece of the coupler is low and rearward of the holes in the main housing. I've hammered, I've hooked the trailer up to my...

    Shock Replacement How To?

    I like to let the suspension fully droop when I do shocks; jack stands under the frame rails as high as they need to go, with the suspension hanging free. With a stock suspension and stock-length shocks, the fully extended length of the shock will be really close to the full down-travel of...

    Marine Corps Logistics Station, Barstow CA

    Casey was really, really, really busy when I was trying to reach her two weeks back for a loadout, and judging by the number of lots that continue to pop up at all of the "Barstow" locations on GovLiq, I doubt that things have quieted down much out there. I left several messages for her during...
