    Old Threads

    It took about two weeks of casual reading I too have used this site to research solutions on issues that came up with my CUCV and my 5 tons. There are members here that have a huge amount of knowledge about these. Saved tons of time and $$ because someone else has had the same or almost...

    Old Threads

    I finished reading all the old threads. Now I skipped the ones about lift kits, engine swaps, turbos, 12v conversions, and exhaust stacks and snorkels because I could care less about those. WOW! Now I totally understand why the mods and others always say search first ! When the question of...

    how hard do you drive it

    55-57 Shes very happy at 45 Bone stock M1008A1 I want it to last a long time. It's a ranch truck but have had it on freeway a few times. I just cruise at 55 and watch everyone pass. I'm always above the minimum posted speed anyway. Engine screams at that speed. Couldn't imagine 65-70+

    Dash lights M1009

    I didn't think the dash led's were able to dim. I did know about the GEN lights. If you do swap, would like to see a pic.

    I Need a Voltmeter Gauge for a CUCV M1009 1985

    I also installed a 24v gauge. No resistor, just plug in and play. Works perfect! I never could find an original gauge that was in good shape. Ebay will have the gauges or any surplus vender that runs ads on this site.

    LED Headlights for M923A2

    I have converted both my 5 tons to the trucklite brand LEDs. Headlight, turn, marker, tail. Get the led. While more costly they will last far longer and handle abuse from roads etc much better than halogen. The light difference is amazing. Not only do you see way better at night, but you...

    24V and/or 6000K headlights?

    You know as well as I do that seeing something in person is much better than a picture. Im leaning towards a set but need to see a cucv in person with a set before i pull the trigger. Especially since they aren't cheap. I did replace my BO light with the truck lite brand Big difference on...
