The H1s suffered miserably from Stanadyne electronic injection pump failures, same as GM diesel vehicles of the time. Other than that, they are very similar to HMMWVs as far as reliability. Edit: 1993 used mechanical injection unless I am mistaken.

Sounds like a hard fail. Maybe double check the connections to the instrument and the case ground if it has one (can't recall) prior to replacing it. I agree it is very nerve wrecking to see it pegged while driving.

Yes. Tap on it and it will go back to 24 volts.

That was a carryover from the MB/GPW, intended to strengthen the pitifully light gauge steel used for the bumper. By the time the A1 came along, the bumper was thicker and I suppose Willys dropped it as not really needed.

To carry a larger generator set, for ventilation. I think this was a lesson learned from placing the PE95 in Ben Hur 1 ton trailers in WWII.

C/K 20 or 30. Only thing military about the CUCV wheel is it's green!

Welcome! For sure ditch the 16.5 rims, they are not stock on CUCVs. Go back with 16s and mount up 245s and up.

Suggestion: obtain any and all information about the truck you wish to move: weight, dims, running condition. Then contact a transportation broker such as Joey and let them get to work finding you a truck looking for a load.

Sure. The tank is so tucked up there you can hardly see it. Use any of the "camouflage" colors (Krylon, Rustoleum etc) such as forest green. Or use flat black.

Welcome. You want Federal Specification (FS) shade 24087. Obtain from Rapco or have some mixed at Sherwin Williams in an exterior architectural paint.

Where is your polarity box located?

Do you have any M1037 specific parts you are selling?

Letters/numbers should be white. The format looks OK. No way to tell if it is correct, unless the person that did the prior restoration was able to see those numbers under paint, etc, and reapplied them. From David Doyle: 1960 through 1968 In 1960, a new system was introduced, comprised...

It's funny that the whole reason for the radio shelters is to block interference (spurious radio signals). This is now your problem. The design is that desired signals would be brought inside via an antenna cable. Maybe this can be done for a AM/FM broadcast radio? For cellular, there are...

I drove my M135 almost as a daily driver for many years and the transmission operated like any other, except for the violent 2-1 downshift. The 302 spent lots of time against the governor at 3400 RPMs.

Bring a gas can with an electric fuel pump and some 3/8 fuel hose. Disconnect the in-tank pump. And a couple of hot batteries. Check the points for corrosion, seems to happen when they sit. All three will most likely run, but I promise the brakes won't work.

My opinion is that a M135 as nice as appears in your picture is worth $6000. This is to a serious collector, not "craigslist".

What polarity box is on a 1995 truck?

Nope, you have the good old 302 gas engine. It wants gas. Numerous threads on this site about engine swaps. Nobody is really happy with what they did.

I have a hazy recollection of the GMCs being sold on GSA Auctions not many years ago. Those trucks always stick out in my mind because it amazes me that they served our government in various capacities for 60+ years. You can see they were used for brush trucks. In my opinion, they are worth...
