    6.2 Oil Pan Gasket.

    So,maybe 4 years ago I had to replace an oil pump on my CUCV. When I installed the pan, I did what I've always done with small blocks. Little RTV here, a little there with the factory gaskets. Darned thing leaked like crazy. Fast forward to now. Trans, bellhousing and flywheel are out so I...

    60A Alternator Differences HMMWV/ Deuce

    So, was working on my son's M49A2C. It was not charging when he bought it. Got another alt from Ferro a while back. Just swapped them out and realized that the newer alt (off HMMWV) doesn't have the exciter wire (Circuit 568 ) on it. Both alternators have the same NSN. We hooked it up...

    Brake Issue M51A2

    So, I finally mustered up the courage to move the M51A2 to my sister in laws house. It's been parked at the VFW for a couple of weeks. Prior to this it was at my church until I got it running. Driving around the parking lot at church it seemed to have a catch in brake pedal travel. I would...

    LDS-465-1A Drivability. Will not idle.

    So, I have this M51A2 with the LDS. It had sat for some time so when I got it, it was not running. Prior to it's slumber, it was a dependable runner. I found that the fuel shutoff rod was frozen in the pump. I pulled it out, took it apart and freed it up. Put it all back together and...

    M51A2 Fuel Transfer Pump

    So, on the M51A2 and M52A2 there is a transfer pump to pump fuel from the right (Aux) tank to the left (Main) tank. Only the multifuels have this. While trying to dig up info on this pump, I determined the neither the TM 9-2320-211-20P or 34P have this pump listed or mentioned. The closest...

    Help with M211 series TMs

    So, I feel like an idiot asking this but my eyes hurt from looking. I have an M51A2 dump truck. It's from the M39 / G744 series of trucks that use the 211 series of TMs. Coming from the deuce TMs I know that there is a series of schematics for the electrical and air systems in an appendix...

    M51A2 VIN Location

    Okay, I've done some searching. Found a few threads, some with dead links. On an M51A2 tipper, I am struggling to find the VIN stamped on the frame. The few threads I've reviewed have been pretty consistent showing it on the left frame between the bump stop and steering box. A few stated that...

    Georgia Rally Multimedia Compilation

    Okay, I spent some time at Papabears Saturday talking and telling tales with him and Tony. Lots of stuff we remembered and more that we've probably forgot. Since yesterday, I've spend a lot of hours going back and looking through and reading some of the commentary and checking out pics from...

    Stripping the box off of an M1010

    If anyone has done this, how hard was it to repair the back of the cab? I know cucvrus has done a few. Mine isn't selling so thinking of stripping off the body.

    NP208 Transfer Case knowledge base

    Greetings folks, in my quest for an NV4500, I now have a Dodge NP208. It should bolt to the back of the NV but there's a problem. It not only has the 6 bolts, it has a registering dowel too. The trans isn't drilled for that. None of my GM 208 transfer cases have that nor does the Dodge NP241...

    M880 New Process 203 Transfer Cases

    Does anyone have a stash of these anywhere? They used to be plentiful and cheap. Not seen any in a while. While it's not a parts wanted thread, I need to make sure one is available before I move with a tranny purchase.

    Sealant/ Gasket maker.

    Folks, I'm working on a 14 bolt axle. In the past I've used Ultra copper on the axle shafts. My foggy memory recalls a better product used on Steel Soldiers for this application and oil pans and such. I can't recall the name to do a search. Anyone have any idea or suggestions? The stuff that...

    Scepter Fuel Nozzle Failure

    Greetings folks. Has anyone else had any issues with the Scepter style offuel spout for the jerry cans? I first noticed a reduced rate of discharge. No one wants to hold up a full can for any longer than necessary. In my experience, you can dump a can in a minute with a proper functioning...
