    Beware Home Depots Forklift Drivers !

    Your an honest guy. NOT an opportunist looking to profit from a slight error. Good job for you. Helped you out and easy to replace it with what was there. I don't know about you but a glass that comes out and stores behind the seat sounds a little sketchy to me. Sliding rear windows on pickups...

    OK. What is a G80 and why will it explode? Or why do they explode? I had to ask. Someone is thanking you for this useful post and I am a bliss. NFG Fubarred as to what you are talking about.

    Couple of questions

    Big problem if you get caught using it on the road. I had a farmer friend get a $10K fine with a truck he was using to haul produce. The tax man caught him and 3 others at the produce auction. Rutjes what I think you have in the support bolt is the bolt was to long or a standard thread bolt in...

    Couple of questions

    It also appears that you are missing all 6 of the M10 X 1.5 bolts that hold the cover in place. But you do have 1/4 x 20 bolts holding the cover in place. I do NOT see them on a CUCV at all. Interesting. I do see the starter is removed and the bolt hole in the block that holds the starter...

    Couple of questions

    The lines you have showing are not supposed to be rubber hose. they are supposed to be 3/8" steel lines for the transmission cooler lines. The holes are 7/16 X 14 TPI holes that are used for transmission braces which are NOT used on the CUCV. From new they used a steel clamp to hold the...

    Newb.... with M1008

    Its all good. It will sit much better and drive like new with a firm steady ride. I did it to several and it was a huge improvement.

    Terminus M1009

    A friend sent me this picture. He spotted me and my Son's in the picture. He said the only CUCV's he seen and figured they were ours. Funny how right he was. He did know I was going via Facebook. Great fun.

    Newb.... with M1008

    Does the bottom leaf look broken also? If so put a new set of springs on it. It makes a world of difference.

    Gen2 light on

    When I have mine rebuilt they are interchangeable. Both build the same. Hope that helps.

    Gen2 light on

    My answer as NO FUSE was a fuse will not make the light dim. That is an internal alternator or connection issue. I suspect a weak alternator. That's just me. Always has been the fix. Have a great day. Good thing to do is get both alternators refreshed if you are going on long trips. I have dim...

    Gen2 light on

    No Fuse. I suspect a diode weak or the brushes not making good contact. That is what my shop always tells me when I say something about the dim light. I am going to let an electrician friend eliminate the combined circuit for Gen 1 and the heater motor on one CUCV unit. Just because he said he...

    Terminus M1009

    Imagine that it all comes out in the wash. Back to work on the M1008 tomorrow. Have a great day. Enjoy your CUCV and I will keep testing it's limitations. Still 99% stock and going strong day in and night. It will need some grease and maintenance items addressed before the next adventure. Till...

    Terminus M1009

    Mr Crusty did not fare out as well as Terminus M1009. He has a broken Dana 60 housing. I never seen anything like it. A hole in the bottom of the axle housing. Something wanted out and busted it. All is well they are both back in their slips and being cleaned and worked on. I did some trailer...

    Terminus M1009

    This was a true test of reliability and strength of machine and man. Both passed. I am still tired from the parting and late hours. Besides sleeping in a tent on the trailer. At my age that is hard on the body. I bad a recliner a lawn chair and my Yeti filled with ice and refreshments. the rest...
