The rear axles will walk several inches side to side all the time while driving. Do a tight full circle to the left, then go to a full circle to the right. You will hear and probable feel the axles flop around when you change direction. As stated above. crawl underneath and feel every dog...

Just get the bulbs for a 1985 chevy truck or Blazer when you walk in. I recommend Silvania Silverstars for the headlights. I switched the 1009 over and love them. True night and day difference.

When doing the shake test, let it sit for a while. If you have some murky, dark colored stuff in there now. It might be a good bit of goo. I tested a GL truck last fall by pulling a bunch out of the master, mixing in some BFS, shake and let sit. 30 minutes later and I could see no lines...

The M35 has a square post for the window crank handle. The CUCV has a round splined post for the handle. The M35 handle is held on with a screw in the middle. The Chevy handle has a spring clip on the shaft behind the splines. I suppose you could make a round peg fit a square hole, but it...

Bushings and hinge pins make a world of difference. Adding a new stricker post on the door jam that has the plastic cover, or just putting on the plastic cover. Will complete the "like new" door experience. I made a set of roadster doors for my M715 a few years ago. Great for trails and hot...

I have bought several sets from Badger diesel. I even keep a few feet of the stuff in the truck with me at all times. "Just in case." So much better than messing with those stupid clamps.

That is the problem. Nothing on the CUCV is 24 volts except the starter, glow plug power supply and the slave cable recepticle. Put in LED light buckets so the trailer can be pulled by anything. Or, if this is your only MV. Just change the bulbs out to 12V on the trailer.

33 x 12.50-16 BFG a/t's fit mine with stock rims, no lift and no rubbing. Others have had slight rubbing at the rear lip of the front fenders at full turn. Kind of depends on your springs and bushings. The noise you speak of. Is it engine at speed, engine at idle, road noise, what?

Sounds like your ground wire isn't doing its job or the relay is bad. There should be very little if any voltage loss across the relay.

Welcome to the fun. No matter the miles, it is still a 25 year old truck and will need some work. The choice is yours about where you do that work. At home at your pace or on the side of the road. Reading through the CUCV section on here will take days and answer just about every situation...

I think a bobbed truck would do ok on 75% of the trails at BVOR. I was driving home from the LSMVPA meeting last night and had a thought. Most of the people at the meeting were wearing some kind of MVPA t-shirt, including Colton. I have a few as well. I also have a pair of Rally t-shirts...

Over drive will only slow down the engine and the front part of the transmission. The t-case, drive shafts and axles are still spinning the same speed. Only taller tires or different gears will slow the t-case down. Besides running a slower speed of course. This is the first I have ever...

That is a great picture of the old Spartan made relay flasher box. To continue the arguement that isn't an arguement. The M715 came from the factory in January 1967 with the Spartan blinker system. They changed over starting in October 1967 to the solid state blinker control box as they...

Air molecules are smaller than fuel molecules. That means air can get sucked in and no fuel will spill out of a small hole. Any air leak between the inlet to the IP all the way back to the tank can cause the fuel to drain out over night. Some members have started parking nose down when the...

Change out the lift pump while you are down there and making more room to get to it. Another option is to use an engine hoist and pick up one side at a time instead of jacking up. However you are more comfortable.

As I started my post above. I was not trying to start an arguement. I know and acknowledge you are correct about the early trucks having no blinkers and the passenger side light cover being the black out stop light. However, at some point in time. I am going to say 1956-1964. A non solid...

Yep, doing the work itself is just a matter of following directions and keeping stuff clean. Will the pump work? Won't know until you flow test it or install it. Will it flow the same to all the cylinders? Won't know that at all unless you have a flow bench. I would rather pay the guy...

Not to start a huge arguement here. However, the small bucket lights were used as blinkers. I know for sure on factory fresh M715's. I can imagine they were used the same way on M151 trucks and probably Gama Goats if goats had blinkers. Charles is correct, the left bulb #1 in your picture is...

Picking up the frame some makes for more room when getting the starter out. It will come right out without jacking anything up however.

Stanadyne dealers have them. Ebay had some brand new ones the other day. Make sure you specify 12 or 24 volt.
