Our 6X truck is our villages main search and rescue vehicle on our frontier road up here in interior Alaska. The alternator seized and broke the pulley and belt. Got an alternator coming from Southern Automotive in Michigan but the pulley and belt are a no find up here at the CAT dealer and...

Trying to turn a nice (5000+ miles) M35A3C with winch into a dependable search and rescue vehicle for our winter ice road into the village. Working on the winch now which I was told did work but does not now. Downloaded some TM's and got two more coming from eBay but could use someone to help...

Had a M1031 for years now. Converted to a pickup but the rear spring pack is incredibly thick (info says it's almost a 2 ton pack because it's made to support the maintenance cab that it came with). So weak rear springs should not be an issue??? Anyway any time I get in snow that causes any...

My M1031 been doing good for a while but recently some rough four wheeling snapped the u-joint on my front driver side axle shaft (the longer one) and damaged the yoke holes pretty good on the axle shaft end. Driving it in two wheel still but tonight it's stuck in my driveway from no four wheel...

What I'm going to mention is not a problem it's more I'm trying to understand what is happening when I accidently leave the key in the on positon beyond the time the glow plugs need to be on to start. What happens is I am rushing around sometimes and have reached in and turned on the ignition...

Got a 1986 M1031 with the TH400 and 205 transfer case. Cracked the tranny main body up high (driving in some crazy ruts and mud holes) and it now allows the crack to open/close slightly when I ran truck in 2 wheel drive on jack stands. Except for vibration now all runs fine and no fluid loss so...

I mentioned that I would post when the Yukon Men (Alaska Reality show) show would be airing the episodes that a CUCV would be shown. Never know just what will be shown even though I'm on show but should have on the buying, fixing up and using of a CUCV to do a couple of heavy duty things. So...

Been doing lots of fix up work on my M1031 and now considering the front springs. What you think about the sag. Read many of the threads on sagging fronts and how just the age does it but not sure how bad it really is or if it is. Checked the shops in the closest city of Fairbanks up here and...
