    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    True! Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. 4 MVs, 1 car, 3 pickups and RV, 1 ranch and etc I've been using a lot. Works great on electric fence also. Overkill supply I know, but I got a really good deal on a surplus supply. Bought all the seller had.

    CUCV wiper motor

    ACDelco still makes one of course. That's what I replaced mine with. Amazon has best price on it. I would rather have that than some no name China crap. Lifetime warranty or not. Don't care if it's more $$

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    You bet! Im glad I found out about it! Stuff is better than plain dielectric grease for sure. I noticed it holds up better to heat also. Still has a melting point but doesn't get as "fluid" if that makes sense. Ive been using it on everything. Just did my RV battery connections. Replacing...

    Air pressure light and alarm won't turn off

    No offense intended, but do you not know what your truck is powered by or exactly which model it is?

    Incorrect Year on Title ??? California Registration Assistance?

    I would not take the truck with you. At least for now. On something like that, they can seize it until/if things are worked out like mentioned earlier. Take photos or whatever else you need to. Good luck

    I'm going CRAZY

    Fuel pickup sock inside tank partially clogged? Just enough suction at idle or rev to run, but higher demand (driving) for fuel leads to starvation?

    1986 m1008 value

    How much are you wanting to spend? Are you wanting a plow truck that has been "modified" or a true unmolested M1008? With the plow and more importantly a different engine, etc it's not worth, in my opinion, any more than a regular C/K gas truck. It doesn't have really much value as a M1008...

    Turn signal trouble.

    Ebay has the best prices (usually). I bought one can and 6 tubes, all surplus. I like it way better than plain dielectric grease.

    Turn signal trouble.

    Thats funny! I do the same thing. Best prices I've found for it was on eBay.

    Turn signal trouble.

    I've been using the NO-OX-ID (A Special) electrical grease ever since I found out about it a few weeks ago. It's like dielectric grease but also has stuff in it that actually fights and penetrates corrosion. Military uses it and I bought several surplus 8oz tubes. Any connection I touch...
