    Hella 500 sets and 500FF sets

    Not selling here! WalMart seems to be clearing out of their Hella 500s and I've seen them at a couple of Wammerts for $50 or less. They are pretty solid lamps and if you have the need... Check yours!

    Replacing transmission modulator and vacuum lines

    Nice work! You're right though, the modulator does look like a squirrel had an attack of Montezuma's Revenge all over it...

    Fried CUCV card pic and question...

    I'm an old microelectronics guy (I'm a geek who collects tube stuff). The card is most likely repairable. Clean it well, check the traces for any shorts or new paths caused by the melting, and when you replace the IC and the burnt resistor, I would go through and test each other resistor for...

    Electrical problems are starting to annoy me, help?

    The Gauge wiring in the CUCV trucks are a film like printed circuit board that just seems made to short. https://www.classictruck.com/product/1981_1987_Printed_circuit_dash_cluster_wiring_PCDCW-31/1981-87_Trucks_Speedometer_and_Gauge_Items_Printed_Circuit_Dash_Cluster_Wiring Is one example...

    Electrical problems are starting to annoy me, help?

    Is it worth 575.00 for a Painless harness when you have electrical issues with a 1008? Or do you think that the majority of the repairs were close enough to original that line testing and wire tracing is plenty sufficient? I've been thinking about the fact that the Belts and hoses have aged...

    M1009: Old style camo or newer?

    So wait, there was an Arctic White scheme for CUCVs? By the time I went to NWTC we had 998s and they were all green or camo... I would think that a flat white one would be really interesting. Anyone have pics of one?

    what are you doing Monday?

    My lazy vet butt will be burning meat and drinking diet mountain dew with my girls. Best way to spend a day ever. :)

    FOIA Request for both -13 and -23 1031 manuals

    Hey there Carnac, if you can get me the Supply Catalog numbers, I'll chase another one through. As far as current status is, I submitted the req, and the current response was to get them off of the internet... aua I advised them that my req was to get them declassed so that it wouldn't be a...

    M1031 SECM Generators

    Today's update... The Army Declassification team apparently didn't understand my request to declass the documents, because they recommended I get them off of the internet.... :cookoo: I resubmitted with clarification that Declass was the request... Next round please... :wink:

    Hey there, I was looking at that BDS kit, did you have to special order? I only see gas engine options... Did I miss it?

    FOIA Request for both -13 and -23 1031 manuals

    Hi guys, After reading most of the CUCV posts, and in my attempt for a Noob to be useful, I put in a FOIA request to have TM 9-4940-562-13 and TM 9-4940-562-23P released from classified status, for applicable safety and troubleshooting needs of end users who purchase the M1031 as surplus...

    Blue 715 Waterloo, IA

    Hey there, I'm usually lurking on the CUCV forum, but today I saw a Blue 715 in my town. I was hoping that they lurk here too. Always cool to know someone else has the MV bug, and with a truly cool truck!

    Hear ye! Hear ye! To all M1031 contact truck owners!!

    Just for fun, I submitted a FOIA request for both TM 9-4940-562-23P and TM 9-4940-562-13. I guess we'll see what happens...

    M1031 SECM Generators

    Excellent points... More to think about... I did do stick welding years ago, but will probably jump to a Millermatic 180 for this truck. And that wouldn't need more than a 7 - 8 KW. And you are right Shawn, they do make some really nice quiet ones that might mount nicely in there. Do you...

    M1031 SECM Generators

    12KW... Whoah. Now I understand why everyone who has a PTO one keeps it. 12KW is a lot, and it really doesn't take up much space in there, does it. Well, that pretty much settles it...

    Contact bed Photos

    Hey there Diesel, nice set up. Lots of great ideas to use for my planning. Is that small motor in the center the genset? It doesn't seem to take up as much space as the gas fired ones...

    M1031 SECM Generators

    I was curious as to what the Hobart kicked out... You are right, 4KW isn't much for a monster. You have the same ideas I do Shawn. I love the idea of the big ol' mobile tool box with welding/compressor/generator. I could use it for construction or automotive, (very useful out here in Iowa)...

    M1031 SECM Generators

    I'm with you, maybe the better phrase is that the compressor seems to take up too much landscape. I'm sure CFM and all is excellent, I just see the photos and think that it's eating up useful bulk storage space. Also, does anyone have the TM for the SKO for these? Probably the ENG one, I...
