Hi, I think this may good thread to jump on...I have a M1028 with a single tire rear axle...just acquired from the USACE who put a flat bed on it and an EZ Dumper Dump insert...what kind of chore would it be to slap on extra rims and wheels to make it dual to better distribute loads for our...
CUCVFAN (Or anyone), talk to me about these RPO codes please, really old thread here I know, but I don't find much on RPO code decoding after an admittedly quick google and SS thread search...I know I've got an "H" code as 4th digit in the VIN on my newly acquired CUCV, so I know it's one of the...
Sharecropper, thanks for the heads up. I don't think the 1985 had the quasistatistical regeneration parametric oscillator on the glow plugs yet so I doubt it could run the turbo encabulator without the card upgrade that cucvrus mentioned....which I will look into.

Anyone know: What is the black rubber button under the steering column (slightly to the left) on the 1985 CUCV truck? Pushed it while driving the truck and it seemed to momentarily kill all the power in the cab...kept running and driving though, thankfully...
