Despite the far reaching assault of the communist virus we are still having the Lake Piru Rally as planned on 1-4 April. Its a miniature version of the Camp Plymouth meet that takes place a few weeks later. Just wanted to let everyone know. Here is the ad from the club website We are planning a...

Due to a lack of permit required for hosting events at the Soledad Campground we had to move our event a little bit west for the 2019 rally. The campground apparently forgot to renew it a few years ago with the changes in ownership and management etc. They will probably have it for 2020. Our...

March 2018 went great despite having massive rain for Wed and Thursdays. With 65 campers and plenty of folks wandering in or hoteling it we had a blast for our first rally. 2019 is planned for 3-7 April. Less chance of rain and no known conflicts with other MV or truck / airshows around the...

21-25 March. This is going to be awesome. Hosted by the SCMVCC near Palmdale. Its going to be very similar to the Nor Cal Tower Park Rally. 4 days of camping and swapmeeting and cruising in the MVs. If you live in SoCal you don't want to miss this one. Here is the site...

My darn truck has sat for a while and Ive been starting it periodically. Well the fuel is going bad, need to burn it all out and refresh. The truck wasn't getting fuel, the float was stuck so I pulled off the fuel inlet and nudged the float, wala it floats and moves again... BUT, I dropped the...

What temp should I use? Im in San Diego, but it does get hot out here especially when cruising the mountains and desert, grades combined with 100deg outdoor temps is common in summer. My truck has been sitting for about 6 years, 3 or 4 with the coolant system open and getting crusty.... I...

I need to replace the front main oil seal on the crank shaft pully. It gushes oil. I have a new seal and gasket for the timing cover. How do I get the crank nut off (is it right or left hand thread) and how do I get the pully off? Yes dumb I know but I have asked a few folks and nobody seems...

My mechanic has again been trying to figure out why my truck pulls hard right when you step on the brakes. Its been going on since I bought the truck and just seems to get worse. So far I have replaced all the tie rods, the kingpin cones, the shocks, and the calipers. The mechanic has had the...

Living in San Diego I see lots of MVs all the time on the road. We dont have CUCVs in the guard any more but the Navy has newer ones. I have seen several types of them and never have a chance to photo them. I have seen at least 4 different body type years other than my old 86 1008a1 driving...

My power steering bracket on my 1008 snapped all its mounting bolts. I used the part number from the -34p and NOGO at napa and the local parts houses. Where can I get this thing? Also, nobody can match the GM number from the manual to anything either.

I nearly got plowed on the freeway coming home tonight. A guy slid past me in the emergency lane in the center of freeway so he wouldnt hit me. He was pissed and I was lucky. I tested the driver side bulb, its fine so I figure that the passenger side is probably ok too. I took the brake switch...

In the year that I have had my truck, I discovered that I had the death wobble. It only had 50k miles but they must have been hard miles. I replaced the kingpin springs and bushings as well as the stabilizer. Recently my truck has started to pull to the right and drastically pulls right...

I am trying to replace the steering preload springs on the kingpins. I have the four bolts off the steering arm on on the drivers side knuckle, but I cannot get the steering arm to come loose off the knuckle. I have pried on it a bit with a big bar but it wont come loose let alone come off...

Has any body with a truck that put a cargo cover up noticed how bad it effects the gas mileage on the highway. In short, I put the cargo cover up first time the same weekend I installed the overdrive on the truck. I monitored my gasmilage religiously and used to get almost 16. Now, on the...

So I havent driven my 1008 in 4x yet. I was doing other things and started up the truck and decided to shift it into TcaseN. I couldnt figure out how to get past the 4H. Manual didnt say to move the lever to the side and pull back. Any way, I had the Tranny in N and went to shift the Tcase...

I got the rails and tabs and stuff set up to mount my cargo top on my 1008. My tailgate aparantly was salvaged from another 1008 that never had a cargo top so it does not have bolt holes for the strip with the twistlocks. I need to know how far down from the top of the tailgate the bolt holes are.

So I hit a bump in the road last night on my front left wheel and all of a sudden my sterring was jumping all over the place. I totally lost controll of my truck. I had to completely stop. I got out to check with a flashlight. Everything was still conntected so I drove home slowly and then...

Well, its seems that I have accumulated all the things I need for my truck, Ive located a radio rack and cable that I need to pick up, and an NOS vynal cover. I have exhausted resources in SoCal for the cargo bows and Im sure shipping some from a dealer would not be cost friendly. I have...

Are there any dealers out there thar anybody knows of that have door locks? I need a new drivers door lock and want to keep the original key.

I have finally aquried troop seats for my M1008a1, but I need the seat back slats for one side at the rear. Anybody know a dealer where I can get the fiberglass ones since mine are all fiberglass? Also, I need the radio power cable. Big cable that goes from the firewall to the distribution...
