Do I ? Are you asking me?

I bought it in 1995 from SECO in Augusta GA. I bought 3 of them and still have all 3 of them. 1 I am missing the towing adapters for a CUCV and it is like new. Long way to ship such a heavy object to you. Someone removed the adapters at Gilbert 1 year while I had my CUCV M1028 truck in the...

The nomenclature on the drivers door shows Front Curb LBS 3325 GVW LBS Front 3660 M1008 Rear Curb LBS 2575 GVW LBS Rear 5140 Total Curb LBS 5900 GVW LBS 8800 MAX I know...

https://youtu.be/i9qAB-PZUgk Not taking this bait. But this is my experience. I drove my M1028A1 for close to 20 years at 75mph. Coast to coast twice. It had 173K on it when I sold it to a fellow member here. And he said it still runs great. That truck had a name...

My truck body book from 1984 shows the same thing for CUCV cab chassis. It has 4.56 as axle ratio. Weights are the same. I was reading the Dayco spring manual and never thought about looking at the GM manual. This book says (see blue tab section for specifications details) Interesting the list...

I contacted our Truck lite support rep. Subject: FW: 27450C Do you offer the 5 X 7 12 volt LED headlamps with a heaterelement built into the lenses. If so what is the part number? And do you have apicture of it? Sorry, no. So I am correct. Truck lite doesnot offer a heated 27450C...

Well what do you think of a summer 2017 run? I am game and most of the others seemed interested. Let us know what you think. And if you know of another place. Let us know that also. It was great. I liked the comradery. You guys really know how to have fun. Them 5 tons are a blast. we have a few...

I have never done any upgrade on the head lamp harness. i have the same M1009 for 20 years and never had any problems with the wiring. I replaced the fuse on the lighting circuit with a circuit breaker and my troubles were over. I also used a few in line fuses to eliminate the over heated fuse...

Very nice clean install. Look like they belong there. Also nice bench seat. Would make someone a nice bench seat for the front of an M1009. I know a guy that was looking to do that. Perfect match color and all. Very nice.

I know they are a huge improvement. And more valuable then anything else you can put on a good running CUCV. I changed the plow lights to LED this past winter. Huge improvement. LED is the way of the future. I seen the 24 volt ones on 5 tons with the heating element built into them also. I have...

The passenger side could be a hassle depending on your battery size and how thick your arms are. They snap in from the front side of the core support. The Hulk could change them with the stock replacement ones. Remove the bezel and pull the spring. Just remember to clean the contact surfaces...

You don't need that insulation. A dab of dielectric grease and a tight connection. They were never water tight from new on a CUCV. I literally run mine under water a few times and it never shut off. I had a snorkel on the air filter. I don't recommend that to anyone. but we experimented with...

DAYCO 22-402 Weight rating of 4 ply is 1900 LBS Stock springs 3 ply 1400 LBS DAYCO 22547HD rear springs have a 3500 LB weight rating. I would not begin to imagine the ride with 4500 LB springs up front. They would exceed the weight rating of the axles, tires, frame and brake system. Good luck...

A few nice hills and mud holes. I can honestly say I did NOT need pulled out 1 time this trip. Almost but that does not count. You are only stuck if you require assistance to be extracted from the situation you are in. MR Green tagged along at several places I seen these Tiger beetles. Have a...

Fun Fun is all I can say. And at a minimum of carnage. It is just an opportunity to wheel a completely stock M1009. A few minor maintenance items and some repairs and we will be ready again. I could actually go a few more days with just 2 spare tires. The tire issue will be addressed. Still...

Saturday April 22, 2017. Rausch Creek Off Road Park. Terminus performed flawlessly. A few flat dry rotted tires were destroyed, a steering stabilizer, transmission cross member slightly bent, gate window busted, both rear propeller shaft U joints squeaking. Nothing that can't be fixed in a few...

They keep dropping in price. If it were me I would hold off. LED's were optional and expensive on most truck bodies. They are now standard and inexpensive in comparison to a few years ago.

I happened to be at a parts store when a guy was ordering parts for his 1987 Shelter carrier Chevrolet truck. That was his words. The parts guy at the counter was baffled. The CUCV guy kept saying 1987 Chevrolet shelter carrier 5/4 ton truck. The counter guy still was baffled. The CUCV guy was a...

DC current and water. No effect that I am aware of. I know it affects hot light bulbs on my boat trailer. But if water effected any DC connections we would all have problems. DC is different then AC in that aspect. I do not have a scientific explanation. but I am sure we will learn one quickly...

As a rule the hinge pins are fine. It is the bronze bushings that go bad. I know I used to buy them in a pack of 10 from GM. They are not bad to replace. If the hinge itself has excessive wear it will require replacement also. I have found the hinges to be in abundance. As far as the shaky...
