    Constant cranking suggestions?

    Christian fish that truck has been around. It came from Detroit/Flint in 86. Went to Georgia for about 10 years Fort Benning. And was at Indiantown Gap and went to DRMO Mechanicsburg and was picked up by PA department of general services. It went to a volunteer fire company up in northern PA...

    Custom Oil Cooler lines...pics...info?

    And I don't think it will like the heat there either. That looks close to the exhaust manifold. Do they bend the tubing where they make the hoses. Or are you stuck with off the shelf pre-bent tubing ends? Is there a bolt missing from the flywheel cover? Just asking a few questions. A picture is...

    CUCV Injection Pump

    Easy. It needs the O rings replaced.

    M1008 Seat Cover Replacement/Upholstery

    I use a local upholsterer. Gone are the $100-$150. repairs. I get them done all pleated and stuffed just like stock. Perfect. About $300-$400. That is provided it has a good metal frame and the main bolster cushion is not chewed down to crumbs. At this point they are 30 + years old. You can...

    M1028 Fuel tank upgrade

    Regardless. That is A1 fabrication. And that bed beats a stock bed any day. You did a great job. A+ on fit and finish.

    Lift!

    OK. But that is NOT an M1009 pictured.

    Lift!

    If the axles fit the M1009. Get a lift kit for an M1009. I have a complete 4" in PA. All 4 springs and shocks. Can you wait till June?

    Terminus M1009

    Ask and you shall receive. I ask for a tow strap with a 52K load limit. I received the Bubba Rope. And then this barrel came for me. Someone in cooperate was being helpful. They had a chain 3/4" grade 100 custom made for me. Well thank you. Now I need a crane to hook it up and load it in the...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Tinstar. That first picture appears that the door is hanging and the latch is grinding its way over the striker. Did you ever look at the bronze door bushings? Open the door and on the bottom open corner can you lift and wiggle the door? If so it needs new bushings installed. And grease them...

    Constant cranking suggestions?

    The 6TL's are 6 years old. I would have my doubts about them load testing. But yes you could have a short. I doubt. But possible. How long has the starter been on?

    Constant cranking suggestions?

    Check the small wire see if it is getting the signal all the time. I never did anything but switch the relay to a new one. Did it still have the 6TL batteries?

    Constant cranking suggestions?

    Is the bracket currently on? Is this the M1009 that I rebuilt?

    Constant cranking suggestions?

    Also may I ask. Is the Starter support bracket in place and tight. That can cause the starter to twist and remain engaged in the ring gear. It could require shims on the starter nose.

    Some old CUCV pictures I found in my office

    This was a complete truck I bought at DRMO. I did fix it and I did sell it. It was about 25K and an M1028A1. I had all the parts to rebuild it and did not waste anything back them. Except M1010's. I made plow trucks out of them. I met the guy that wrecked this truck. It happened on I81 just...

    Some old CUCV pictures I found in my office

    This was back during the snow storm of the century. I think 1996. That is future LCPL Engle standing there behind the M1008A1 CUCV with Artic front. Here Jr is 10 years later in an Oshkosh 7 ton USMC.

    Terminus M1009

    This was back right after I bought Terminus M1009. Then I sold it and it was gone for 20 years. Only to return to this. Still going.

    Some old CUCV pictures I found in my office

    This was one I took down to the frame and painted every part. All the glass was removed and I painted everything like it left the factory 686 Tan CARC. It was a beautiful truck. 21K miles. It was a 1984 M1028. I drove it for a while and sold it because I was offered big money. Very clean and...
