. Had to make a comment of some sort. Hoping to learn along with you.

. I don't have a solid answer, but I recently saw discussion about the injector pump freezing up if a truck (or generator) sits for a long time. With age, the fuel dries up and creates a gummy sticky mess. That might have something to do with not being able to rotate the pump to get it out...

. Yeah, I know. What!? That goofy "heart in the eyes" icon is about the best thing we have here to voice real goodness to something posted. Really makes my day to hear that said! Maybe there are a few good Chinamen after all.

. Agreed. Hoping not to need them for their real purpose. I keep mine in sealed drums in air conditioning. That is about as good as it can be for now.

. I did a quick search and apparently with (rigid) copper plumping pipe, there is a Schedule 40 and a Schedule 80. All I know is that the different numbers relate to wall thickness. 80 is thicker. Outside dimensions are the same. So I don't know enough to be really smart though. I think we...

. Glad to know it isn't just me. Prices are ridiculous and I am not sure that it will go back down. I am committed to a hundred rounds a week though. Unlikely to forget how, but practice is well worth the time effort.

. Nicely said V8srfun There is definitely a race to the bottom in a lot of things. I may have even stated before in these forums that I am willing to pay a little more for American Made hardware - like a lot of other folks. I think what we all want is good and functional especially when lives...

. Pretty darn amazing. I can relate and appreciate that reliable is better than pretty.

. Please don't take this the wrong way - but R U Crazy? Okay now, smile - and let's back up and think this out a bit. WE don't know for sure. YOU have already said that you don't know either. Just plugging a wire into the three that are there has a pretty good chance of NOT helping the...

. Good question. Tires have a date code stamped on them. Build date, not an expiration date. Seems like ten years is a magic mark somewhere in the DOT book? The cracks you see are pure simple sun damage and old age. In a perfect world, you would shriek like a girl and run to the tire...

. Absolutely! Heck of a plan!

. That could be a heck of a plan! Between the two, maybe there are enough good parts to make one nice truck!

. My CUCV was wearing her kerchief and I in my cap... Okay, no winters nap! AND by the way, no clatter out on the lawn either!! Or in the garage :) She will look like new by the time you get done.

. Anything can be repaired if you want to invest enough time and money. You might find another truck in better shape and combine the parts into one good truck. There is rot in a lot of these trucks. In the front fenders in particular. That top looks pretty sad, but somebody who is good and...

. Vibration is the killer for the copper lines. That problem is exacerbated if there are loose supports for those copper lines. Where somebody removed a support and the tubing flops around and that sets up a failure. I am not an expert, but if you use your house for an example: The copper...

. Welcome to the outfit! Happy to have you here and there are a bunch of us who enjoy sharing. If you go shopping for a truck - don't hesitate to post up some pictures.

. Maybe the rubber is some sort of import? The rules are different here than other places. Sadly, the seller and the buyer doesn't know they have a problem until it is too late.

. No truer words have been spoken. Do it right the first time for sure...

. Happy to report that is has nothing to do with your truck or kind of truck. I don't own a CUCV, but the 5-Ton and the other trucks that I have are pretty much the same. Go fix something and just as sure as I am living and breathing, I will find something else that needs to be fixed too. It...

. There is a pretty good writeup on the MTVR / LMTV forum about how to diagnose the CTIS system. The TM's have information too. There is a troubleshooting guide (link below) that gets directly to the point. Might be a place to start. If nothing else, looking at the pictures and understanding...
