    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    Just when I thought I had seen it all. These are the fuses that are in the 2017 Ford F550 that I was mounting a trailer brake controller on. They call it a Micro 3 and it serves 2 circuits I assume or they built it so you can flip it. Just wanted to share this. They also have Low Profile minis...

    Found this cool CUCV video on you tube

    Very nice. But they don't run them as hard as CUCVLOVER does. I did not see a yard of top soil hanging out of their brush guard. 1986 m1008 aka green machine. Stock guts, flat bed, KC lights, stereo, ect. This is a false statement. it needs updated. you must be put on the CUCV watch list...

    Where's Your License Plate?

    If you are not going to do any wheeling you can mount it up under the bumper. I do wheeling so I mounted mine up on the roof rack and just ran an LED projection lamp up to the M1009 roof. my Son has his mounted on his spare tire on the left side of the front bed. No light. Other M1008's that are...

    Alternator alignment adjustment

    Does it have dual alternators and does it still have the 6.2 diesel in it. Hard question to answer with so many changes that get made to these poor CUCV's. Picture will help. But alignment of the pulleys will be the best place to start. and it happened to be the right belt. Does that mean you...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    Matters not who. Just nice that they did it and the hand holds on the rear corner pockets is a great little add on. I seen a new bumper on an older truck and it fit rear well. They are not as rugged as the old bumpers but it still looked and functions nice. Happy Holidays. I have my scrapping...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    I made another nice score of oak blocks today. and a while back I scored the boarding ladder at the scrap center. They throw away the strangest things at the local base. Today I delivered 800 lbs of food and clothing to the local shelter.I used Big Red and the ladder was handy getting in and out...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    This week started out pretty cold and icy. I was pushing and dragging steel today. At days end I had spread 24 tons of salt and anti skid. And the big yellow truck was brand new last week. Still is I guess but needs some remodeling done to it. Both the plow trucks are sporting new springs the...

    Batteries, will they last?

    That would be a guess at best. But CCA is the rating at zero degrees and that goes down with age of the batteries. I myself would NOT be afraid to travel with them providing this is a CUCV that starts first time every time. Not a CUCV that has cold start/ warm start issues. I have 3 that cold...

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

    I spread 12 tons of salt and non skid with the Toyolet M1008 I weighed it empty it was 7400 lbs with plow and empty spreader. Loaded it was 12,400. It was sitting nice with the new springs the whole way around. I ran the truck 12 hours Sunday and 11 hours yesterday. This morning I started at...

    Desert Storm water carrier?

    You can bolt them to the body. I would not recommend doing that. It is going to be sticking out there and 1 hit from anything and BOOM they are gone and you have a lot of body damage. The stronger you make the side mounts the more damage. I would mount them on top on front or on rear. But I have...

    H1 wheels on M1028

    Well we are past that. The wheels he had are some where unknown now. They may be in the scrap pile. I know he wore the tires out and then moved onto something else. They worked great while he had them. Saved a lot of money. The front axle is still the same one. it has been serviced quite a few...

    Glow plug wire Question

    It goes to the fuel pump on an M1010 model truck. It is for the rear heater fuel pump. Also used on arctic kits I believe.

    H1 wheels on M1028

    IDK and like I said. I was looking at old pictures. Really is this how it is? The tires lasted about 5K miles and were shot. I know he burned thru all 4 sets in no time at all. I still have 1 set of the rims. But as far as I know he had no problems. Seemed to be the thing to do for him. mine was...

    H1 wheels on M1028

    I did not pass the bar so I will not claim or deny the legality of my Sons modification. But he ran the truck back and forth from PA to Camp Lejeune for about 2 years and he had no problems. So all's well that ended well. He has 24 bolt HMMWV wheels BFG Baja claws now with spacers. It was just...

    A couple starter questions

    You do have a good core for a 24 volt starter. I have never taken a starter apart and put it back together that it worked for very long afterwards. You would need all the internal parts and solenoid to do the conversion. All you are basically starting with is the shell of the starter. I had...

    Coolant spraying out

    I said yes to replacing the fuel delivery nozzles. I meant to say NO just remove them and replace the copper washers underneath them. I have only ever changed the nozzles on a few vehicles. Mostly at a customers request. I never replaced them just to replace them. I had them checked at a diesel...

    Multifunction switch lever removal? (Turn signals signal switch lever)

    You will not have a wire in an original CUCV. And I just was outside and I looked at it. If you push the inter piece of the stalk forward it will wash the window. So that is not how to remove it. You just push in and pull the inner part clockwise towards you and pull it off. It goes back in the...

    H1 wheels on M1028

    I was there that day. That is near Rausch Creek. Trevorton Pennsylvania. We spent about 5 hours there and finally the guy in the stuck truck would not run the engine anymore because it was not getting any oil to the oil pump because it was leaning so hard the the left. All I know is when I left...

    H1 wheels on M1028

    IDK. But he ran them from new till bald. All I did was weld the old valve stem holes shut. Drilled a hole on the inside and used bolt style valve stems. It was not my truck. i really don't bother much with the modifications. As he and you all know I am NOT a fan of modifications. He said it...
