I have an M108 that has sat for a few years. I wanted to get her running again this spring, but she's giving me fits. When I parked her, service lights, low air buzzer and pretty much all electrical items worked. With the power switch off, or on, I get no service lights. When I turn the...

Hey guys, I just had some idiot blow a stop sign and total my M1009. For insurance purposes I need three prices from vendors for replacement. Who sells CUCV's other than private sellers? I must say, he hit me at about 30mph with a Silverado and the 09 really took it well. That's one tough...

I have a friend with a generator that he thought was for a deuce. It's a Bosch RGR2400 NSN# GRC2440C219. I've googled and can't find a result. Anyone know what this is for? Thanks Mikey

I want to say thank you to Gimpy for doing a pickup for me on Lockbourne, OH of a pallet of winches and dropping them off at Fastenal. Between his excellent and affordable service and Fastenal's cheap shipping, I now have even more options for wasting my money. Thanks Chris! Your ratchet...

Hello, I have Peter Debella's brake kit for my 53 M38a1 which includes a new mc, wheel cylinders, rubber brake lines and brake pads. Is there any reason why at this point I would NOT want to convert the jeep from dot3 to dot5? If the conversion is recommended, then what is the best process...

I need one pallet transported from Lockbourne, OH to 18470. 350lbs 48" x 40" x 24"(L x W x H) Any member either doing pickups there or any transportation vendor, please feel free to PM me. Thanks Mikey

I hope this helps save someone some time. My air water separator took a crap under the dash on my M931A2. It was leaking from the purge valve and the o ring, so a Schrader valve was not an option. I searched for hours and couldn't find the OEM replacement so I took a gamble on an amazon...

I've installed a non isolated alternator on the driver side of my M1009, DL7157 from Autozone. I understand it can only be used on the driver side and I understand it is not isolated. However, I'm not sure what I should do with the two ground cables that were connected to the isolated...

I just picked up an 86 M1009 in what appears to be very good condition. I drove it home about 500 miles with no issues except Gen 2 light coming on. I'll test the high side battery and if that passes rebuild the regulator on the high side alternator ASAP. I've read the -10 tm and will read...

I'm looking at buying an 85 M1009. The seller states that occasionally when put in 4wd it pops out while driving. Occasionally, but not always. He thought it might be the hubs so he replaced them, but the issue still occurs sometimes. I have absolutely no experience with CUCV's, but I'm...

Hi all, I'm going to look at an M37 tomorrow and if all goes well, we will seal the deal. I'm bringing a bill of sale with me, but the truck has no title and has never been registered. Where can I find the serial# on an M37 if the data plates are gone? I know on the deuce it's stamped on...

I have a trailer with a 12k electric winch. I want to use it to winch up my 5ton M51A2 in the spring, which weighs about 23k. In a perfect world I could use 2 or more snatch blocks and call it a day. The problem is that I only have 62' of winch cable. If I had 100' I estimated using 2...

We picked up our 1953 M38A1 yesterday. It needs work, and I've got a lot to learn but I'm excited to have our first Jeep.

Hey guys, I know there are members like John Appel that use trailers similar to mine on a regular basis and I was hoping for some advice. I've got a 20ton Eager Beaver, with Dana D22 axles, that recently blew a hub seal. The gear oil ruined the brake shoes and now a $20 seal is costing $600...

I have read the TM's and searched the forums, but can't find an answer to my question. When checking the trans fluid for my M931A2, my truck has OE/HDO 10, I start the engine, let it warm up, put it in neutral with the parking brake on and I check the fluid level. I get the same result every...

I have an M931A2 from Red River with the J and B pins reversed on the female NATO plug at the rear of the truck. Because of that, every military trailer I connect to my truck has the turn signals reversed. I looked at the rear of the plug and tried to remove the J pin with a little bit of...

Does anyone know where I can get data plates for my 54 REO M108 wrecker? Thanks! Mikey

I just bumped into a guy at the gas station talking to me about my M931A2. Seemed to know his stuff and he knew it had a Cummins 8.3. He asked me if I turned up the fuel, but I told him I didn't want to lose MPG. He said I'd get better MPG if I turned it up. He said I should turn it up to...

Any chance the M931A2 has two 50g tanks and not 65g like the TM says? I just filled an empty tank and it took 45 gallons. I know the fuel gauges aren't reliable, but that's off by a lot. Also I average 6.5mpg when I've been told I should get close to 10. If the tanks were 50g, it would be...

I have an M931A2 overhauled at Red River 8/12. Recently while moving the truck after about a few weeks of sitting the rear right wheel did not move at first. I was in soft dirt so I didn't notice immediately. I backed up a total of about 10' and it popped free after about 7'. I thought it...
