    What could cause this EMERGENCY

    OK, I do not own a 900 series truck so I am no expert but do they not have a maxibrake type of system where when you lose all air the rear brakes lock up? In Divermans case it sounds like only one axle applied and he was able to over ride it. Might want to look into that! I will not debate the...

    Got it. What do you want to bet there are a ton of washers missing from the bolt bin.;)

    Graveyard CUCV's brought back

    Why are you guys all talking about spacers? I am looking at the amount of hub sticking out of the wheel and it is the same as a standard wheel so no spacers there. Why do you need the spacers anyway? Rick

    Should I?

    I belong to a couple of camper forums and there are a lot of Canadian members and they will tell you do NOT try to take guns into Canada! Even the law enforcement in the border towns have to turn their guns in to Canadian authorities and get issued guns from Canada for there time there even if...

    Should I?

    The interference on mine was on the frame where the main rails of the hitch met the frame. The support for the tie downs or the pintle support, one or the other, interfered by a little bit so I had to grind off just a little of the side of the hitch mount. My pintle is still mounted. I also...

    Should I?

    Any frame mounted hitch will have to be slightly trimmed to fit around the pintle and tie down brackets. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of. Rick

    Towing m353 w/o air brakes?

    Can you pull it? Yes, no problem. Can you stop it? Probably, as long as you don't have an a**hole slam on the brakes in front of you. Can you pull it legally without brakes? Not in my state anyway, over 2000lbs. you need brakes. I am not trying to be an azz but I am curious. Why would you buy...

    M1008 Starting/Running/Idling Problem!

    I SERIOUSLY doubt the injectors are worn or bad. You need to go through the proper troubleshooting procedure before condemning the expensive stuff. Start with the basics like fuel pressure and fuel flow tests on the lift pump. You say there are no leaks but how are you checking for a leak in the...

    Looking at a MUTT

    That frame member is specifically spelled out in the military manuals as a scrap vehicle, do not repair. Rick

    Field Stoves

    I could probably transport from Aberdeen, Mike knjows what my rig looks like with the mutt on it so he would know whether they would fit. Rick

    Field Stoves

    Sometimes I think exceptions have to be made. This came about as hapenstance. It was not a sale looking to happen, it was a member who happened to see something he needed and asked about it. At that point it could go to PM's. Rick

    M109A4 Sub-Zero Oil Field

    Worse comes to worse you could always attach high density foam board directly to the walls and mount the shelves over that. The green foam board interlocks for a good seal. Rick

    New CUCV owner - Transmission and engine questions

    I am guessing there are more than a few that would be interested in what your idea of a "Hick" truck is. Not everyone feels the need to keep it 100% military, they are basically civilian trucks after all.

    M109A4 Sub-Zero Oil Field

    I think your ideas about going with the the updated modern electrical and lighting are a very good idea. You are depending on this vehicle for your livelihood and safety and the safety of others, do not scrimp on the necessities. The one thing I have not seen you talk about, or maybe I missed...
