I washed it. This one is the ranch workhorse. Not pretty but solid. New reflectors, tailgate handles and chains w/covers, new tail lights. Brakes work great and fluid was pristine. New reservoir cap also Side racks are new. Only on temporary. My other one I restored and is all original...

USA1 industries calls it Mahogany. I bought one of their dashes painted to match the CUCVs color. Recommend you stay away Dash didn't fit like original as they claimed it would. I did a review of it. A search will find it. Their is a place in California that will refinish your original...

Did your Alternator zap your Power Control Box? If your alternator is original they are known to fry components. A bad PCB will allow no electricity in the cab. Not sure if the starter is related or just a coincidence.

I only mentioned the helos because of the need, like our trucks, to keep things warm in the first place instead of dealing with the trucks cold soaked. Its easier to start a 5 ton when its been plugged in. (if a block heater is installed). It morphed into Helicopter Cold Weather Operations...

Ok I would not own one. Could buy 4 or 5 S-250 shelters for that price.

That is quite a jump.

I'm sure (hope) they will offer a Military discount for those that qualify.

You will have to call and find that out yourself. I'm sure they're not cheap. But they look very well built. They do not offer one for the M101A2-3 trailers. This company anyway If they did, I would own one.

Have you replaced the GP temp sensor?

Thats it. Yes on length I don't know if it comes off. A short stout piece of wire to insert and make sure it's not clogged.

I laughed out loud on that one. Only someone who owns a 5 ton would get that joke.

Maybe you got lucky and didn't hurt anything. I would still change fluid and filter. Also install a trans temp gauge and cooler.

He will when it's time to mow

Want to really pull your hair out?! Read ALL the old threads in "5 ton" and "CUCV" like I have done. Every single one. Its absolutely amazing how many redundant threads and questions there are. Obvious very quickly when someone has done ZERO research and just posted questions because they...

Surely you have pics of that?!

If there's a clear path for the forks to slide underneath and not hit anything sliding under or when raising up, then by all means do that. Using a 2x4 or 2x6 as a fork prop will tell you if there will be any issues. Use a sheet of plywood between the trailer and forklift back rack to prevent...

Even the faded ones look good when wet. How does it look in the sunlight? Aerosol or brush? Brand? Did you use paint designed for vinyl?

That looks smaller than a S-250

I know nothing about jets. Been flying helos for over 28 years. Want to get technical, we can over in another forum. Just like the trucks, push it hard when cold soaked and you will have problems. The point of the earlier post was to keep things warm, when able, in the first place.

Do you have a trans temp gauge installed? Very easy to do. If you do a lot of 4 wheeling or pull trailers a lot I recommend installing one. Along with a cooler.
