    CUCV 1986 M1008 - In a Real Pickle - Bad Heads - Need Advice

    I personally would pull engine and rebuild. That way you know EXACTLY what you have and what work has gone into it. Plus it will save a lot of money going that route and you can decide what brand of parts to use. I know the old school machine shop guys could repair cracks in heads (to a...

    M1010 Mark Body Company storage sheds

    Very handy With the cost of new storage sheds today, anyone would be a fool to scrap them.

    starter only bumps engine after alternator replacement

    Clearly I don't know the 5 ton electrical system like I want. Helicopters I fly, I know the electrical (and all other systems) in exact detail forward and backward from memory. Theory, how it works, troubleshooting and how everything works together. I was trying to help and all I did was...

    Factory style floor covering. Who's the best?

    I would be upset too That is too thin for my use. Foot traffic, plus the tools, guns, ammo cans, dogs, etc that will beat on it.

    Factory style floor covering. Who's the best?

    What did you do for floor insulation? Im going with the Classic Parts floor mat, but need something like the original insulation. They only carry the peel and stick stuff. I do not want to use that stuff.

    M939 Front Axle Boot replacement.....how I did it.....

    My turn for boots. Have brand new USA made zipper boots. Seems like a straightforward job. Do I have to buy new wire clamps or can I reuse the old ones?

    starter only bumps engine after alternator replacement

    I'm not sure why some PCBs have that circuit board and some don't, on identical trucks. Both of mine do not have it. Sounds like your starting truck fine. Does the alternator output change any when you reconnect that wire, while truck is running?

    M1101 Troubleshooting Bearings\Brakes - Terrible MPG Towing! What should I inspect?

    Inspecting the bearings/races/grease/drag should have been the first thing performed when you got it home. The military is notorious for deferred maintenance on these. One of mine one had brand new grease and bearings, etc on one side. The other side was bad. Grinding bearing and all. Why...

    starter only bumps engine after alternator replacement

    Did you look at the wiring diagram? I would start there. When I replaced my alternator, the new one (Delco 33si) is a true one wire design. The other wires are simply folded back and taped since their not needed. I rebuilt my PCB and it was very easy. But.....I've also seen PCBs with...

    Factory style floor covering. Who's the best?

    Perfect. There is another brand that a member had installed and it was too short to the firewall. Big gap and looked bad. I think I will go with the you have. Looks good and fits. Plus you've had really good wear with it and it's not a garage queen. Thanks everyone for all the...

    No Headlights, directionals, horn, CUCV 1986

    Or Like many, just get on to ask for help and fix the issue and never bother to update the thread. Old threads are filled with just that.

    Factory style floor covering. Who's the best?

    ACF50 Very well known in aviation circles Edit: It can be used in a pump spray bottle application or aerosol can. I use the can. Expensive, but works extremely well.
