    H1 Wheels 1 ton axles M1009

    Why not post it instead of a PM? That info would be helpful to someone who is looking for wheels.

    Project m1010

    $100 ACDelco vs $400+ Fluid one. Easy decision for me I agree the fluid ones are very nice. I just couldn't justify the extra $300

    M101A3 mods for Jeep/off road

    Dexter Axle makes a exact replacement hydraulic brake assembly called Free-back. Never worry about locking out brakes on loaded trailer. Surge brakes are wonderful when maintained. Braking action is so much smoother than electric. My A2s tow great and you don't even know their there. As...

    M1010 possible blown engine?

    I would rebuild or find another 6.2L. Sure you can put something else in and many guys have. But to me, that engine is the heart and soul of the CUCV truck. Good or bad, regardless of what some think about the stock 6.2, that's what it was born with. With something else installed, it...

    B-29 "Doc" Awarded New Airworthiness Certificate

    Obtaining a AWC for a aircraft is quite the task. Getting one for a B-29 is truly amazing. That is a big plane and thousands of things had to be inspected and signed off. Its hard for anyone that is not in aviation circles to really....truly, understand just how hard those guys worked to...

    Truck-Lite LED Headlights----Finally Ordered a set.

    Exactly Asking wayyyy too much! They weren't rusted, but dry metal to metal. I will always remember to keep it lubed now.

    Possibly a cucv over charging issue ?

    Sounds like it's working correctly. Numbwrs are fine. Don't forget the glow plugs "afterglow" for a bit. Giving it throttle after start excites the alternators also. All totally normal.

    Was going to do just that. But the fix makes it so easy now I decided not to.

    Truck-Lite LED Headlights----Finally Ordered a set.

    It's fixed New inserts installed Found the main reason why they strip so easily The headlight bucket rides on 4 slightly raised sections or tabs pressed into radiator support frame. Kinda like a bowl, and it only contacts those four raised areas. That way it can be moved up, down, left...

    Project m1010

    If it's original, the harmonic balancer needs replaced no matter what. Amazon has the ACDelco one for the best price. OEM exact match. Several documented cases here on SS of broken crankshafts due to bad/old harmonic balancers.

    Truck-Lite LED Headlights----Finally Ordered a set.

    It's a very easy fix. Just a pain. The Dorman cheap plastic doesnt hold very well against the bucket spring tension. Adjust it and leave it. Touch it again and it strips out.

    GM doesn't make them anymore. Only choice is cheap China now. Anyone have a better idea that works I'm all ears.

    Truck-Lite LED Headlights----Finally Ordered a set.

    The upper plastic insert for the headlight adjustment screw is a total POS. Both needed and were replaced with new when first got truck. Went to adjust new headlights tonight, didn't even get one turn with the screwdriver and it stripped. Other did same thing. Definitely need to improve...
