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

    Stopped by the National Guard to visit. More than a few guys wanted my M1008. The really young soldiers E1-E3 could care less. E-5 and above were the ones really interested. They were checking it out while I was looking at a brand spanking new HUMVEE. One of them is watching Govplanet...

    Possible glow plug problem

    If you have had the truck for almost a year and still don't know exactly where the GP relay is, I would suggest a dive into the TMs. I don't know everything about these trucks and don't even pretend to, but I do know what and where the basic parts in the electrical system are. Etc Warthog has...

    fumoto valve

    If I did serious off roading I probably would not have one. I agree that for that environment having one of those would be a liability. I don't, so I will continue to use them.

    CUCV Roadtrip Today

    I love road trips in my CUCV's My wife and I will head out with a full tank and just aim in a general direction. Amazing what you find when you do that. I don't think twice about doing that. I know that I use the best parts I can afford and have taken the time and effort to make sure, as...

    Need new dashpad. Which brand has held up best?

    I've read all the old threads about replacing Dashpads. There are a lot. I know OEM ones are no longer made. My question is to everyone that has bought new aftermarket ones. What brand has held up to the environment the best? I don't care if it's $500, but I don't want to have it crack a...

    Temp sensor - replacing

    The first one looks like the correct new style temp sensor. The second one is a totally different part not applicable to our trucks. My pigtail has one yellow and one black wire and can plug into the sensor only one direction. So I would either take it back or look at some old threads with...

    fumoto valve

    I use them and love them. Have them on all my civy trucks. Been using them for about 6 years now Will install one on my M1008 at next oil change. They are a slower drain, but a lot easier and no mess. The lever sits very positive and will not "work" it's way loose. Some car manufacturers...

    6.2 questions

    I think you are taking that post wrong. Just read whole thread and I didn't see it that way at all. Just pointing out options and/or what others have successfully done. Just my 2 cents worth Good luck on your project
