Nov 9th Comfort Texas 10th Annual Freedom Day Greetings all! I am putting together our 10th annual Freedom Day here at Singing Water Vineyards in Comfort, TX. I need your help by showing up with military vehicles for static displays. We will make a few presentations as well as making our...

I have run a search and have not found anyone with the same problems as this truck has. It was my old work M1008 truck from Ft Jackson. My buddy bought it and I have been trying to troubleshoot a couple of Gen 2 problems. The truck starts up and runs great. After engine warms up and drops the...

Have an old Unimog trailer. Trying to figure out nomenclature of it. It's in great shape. I'm not too knowledgeable on foreign trucks and trailers. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Travo

Have everything hooked up and jump box on the truck. We are getting zero power to anything inside. Getting 24 and 12 under the hood. Any ideas? We're stumped.

Has anyone made a jig for lifting the tub off and on a chassis? As many of you probably know the tub is very flimsy toward the tail end. I am having to do a lot of work with body panels (yes rivet in replacements) and would like for everything to be straight while the tub is off. Engine and...

We found this at the bottom of the oil pan in the oil sludge. Any ideas what this part is? Quarter is next to it for size reference. Thanks!

Another guy had a runaway starter (didn't have the DH mod done) and it fried some wiring. I have been fixing the bad wiring and came across something I have never noticed before. On the bus bar there is a small wire with a resister (I think) on it that connects the positive and negative sides...

Ok guys and gals, is there a New Braunfels chapter yet? I was part of one in Columbia, SC (MVCSC) and it became my home away from home. Since moving back to Texas, there isn't much of anything close by. I know Austin has a chapter, but driving 1 hr + is a little much for me to accomplish on a...

Ok, I have tried everything I know how to do. Several months ago my 1009 was developing a vibration from (what seems to me) the passenger side. I figured it was the old tires finally letting go, so I replaced them. I stuck to the original size yadda yadda. The vibration has gotten worse and it...

Ok, I have been looking at manuals, searching here, and asking google it's opinion. A week ago I was putting on new belts and I accidentally hit the temp switch and it broke the tab off that the spade hooks in to. Ever since then, my truck is a PITA to start. It ended up being I would have to...

Ok- I am trying to get my parts list together and get started on my front end of the Blazer. I am ordering my parts from Rock Auto and running with Moog. I have used them in the past and understand they are the best. Anyway-- I am wanting to do: Ball joints (all) Axle shaft u-joint (both)...

My Gen 2 light had a faint glow to it and could see it at night. When I would turn on the headlights or the fan it would get brighter. So I went ahead and replaced all the belts- same problem. I was pulling all the connections and cleaning them off and applying dielectric grease when I saw the...

Running through Craigslist and saw a M101A2 for $900. Isn't that a little high? Let me know you guys thoughts. Thanks! Travo

Ok, so I went to go look at a friends Deuce the other day to trouble shoot some issues on it. The starter will engage and crank the truck BUUUUUUUUT- it wants to stay spinning. When you cut the master power, it quits spinning. Flip the MP back on (without killing the truck) and it goes back to...

So today I decided to replace my turn signal cam on my steering column. BIG MISTAKE! LOL! I started the late morning at NAPA getting a bunch of parts for the next few repairs I have to do on the 1009. I headed home and started to dive into the steering column first. I was taking pictures for a...

Just wanted to post this FYI. I called the PN's in to the local GM dealer and he was able to tell me the prices. Rear gate lower weather stripping PN 326934 $88.95 Rear gate outer glass weather stripping PN 327005 $47.81 Rear gate inner glass weather stripping PN 327006 $40.86 Drivers...

Yes, I have used them for years. I had one at work when I was active duty for a few years. I have mine and absolutely love it! Some people don't get it and it doesn't have all the "comfort features" as we are now used to (as a society). I am excited to put a radio in it during the next few...

Hey guys, would it be possible to create a CUCV "How To" in the sub forums so we can post write ups in there? I would suggest that not everybody can clutter it up, but for you guys to throw articles in there that are detailed and include pictures. I was reading Top_prop's write up...

I had this idea for the last 6 months and today I got bored and finally did it! What do you think? EDIT: I know, all that's missing is the yellow stripe. I will finish painting it once I get to Hobby Lobby this weekend.

Ok, so I have been fighting with my rearview mirror the last few weeks. I have tried all sorts of different glues. I sand the glue side of the button and use an alcohol wipe for the button and glass. I then apply the glue and hold for 1 to 2 mins. I have been doing it in the morning and letting...
