Rusty Just let me know when and I'll make sure you got a boat ride across the Yukon to the village.

After 2 years of limping around trying to work my truck with a cracked transmission and cracked adapter all held together with a 2x6 I have finally got it fixed. Help from people on this site to get a new HD case and find an aftermarket adapter and locating a great transmission shop in Fairbanks...

Thanks Rusty, -you are a wealth of quality knowledge. I'll get a used good one. Stan

Yes keep an eye out for one. I got the truck without a transfer case support bar and the two inspection cover bars also but have all those now. Question: The transfer-case adapter has some bad cracks where some of the bolts go through but if that steel can be welded I can do it or have an expert...

Rusty, The crack happened when the roads were real muck and we had to power through to not get stuck last year. One hole I hit the roof and hurt my head and as soon as I got to the dry road and sped up I had a wicked vibration. Drove to a garage and jacked it up on all fours and ran the...

Missed it. We had graduation here in the village tonight. Sounds like they showed it from your post. I can do 35 below if I plug in the 1000 w block heater for say 5 hours and throw an old blanket over the engine. Don't like doing it though and usually try to shut trucks down once the real cold...

Thought I better post - some of you get a kick out of military trucks getting on the Yukon Men show. This is a Discovery photo ad so looks like my CUCV will be on tonight. This one is real and still living with what happened (can't tell) and even got some help from some on this forum. So tonight...

You should get a kick out of it Rusty having worked on a particular part of the truck so much . Can't say more. Stan

Long time no post. Been real busy I guess but wanted to let fellow CUCV owners that the truck I have and was aired on the Discovery show Yukon Men last season will be on again starting this Friday night as best I can figure. Totally real what happened to it and dealing with it right now after...

Fellow MV owners I'm very happy you get something out of the show and I was looking forward to a truck that many of you like or own being on nationwide (and worldwide) TV so you could see it. I've been lucky enough to have something to do with that. And also showing trapping and hunting and...

Years ago I had a fuel injected gas engine that had a hole in one of the pressure injector lines. I took a good part of a roll of electrical tape and stretch wrapped it over and over the leak thinking maybe it would last a week or so till I could order a new line. Never ordered a line and many...

I do enjoy being able to work with my kids at real things that hold meaning to our lives. I have had the good fortune to work with many great camera people who lives revolve around the outdoors also. Most often I travel with one camera guy and we travel like two normal people just he's filming...

Good idea - that seems like a much better idea than trying to route reverse drive lines and u-joints to a front mounted winch. Can get pumps and lines etc. if I look around. Thanks, Stan

I had been trying to think about ways to mount a winch. I've had winches on the front of trucks before (my last truck had an electric one) but this PTO faces backwards. Sure be nice to utilize the PTO. Stan

Couldn't believe my luck of finding a good condition truck pickup bed at the town dump (lots of trucks there but most pretty beat up) but when I measured the bolt holes etc and it seemed to be the same mounting as the CUCV maintenance box I was even more happy. In the show My son Joe and I...

Got the greatest kick out of JunkYardJohn's comment. I was actually also laughing to myself reading it. With no disrespect to our military who I hold in greatest regards. I realize some do not like to see the trucks cut into, much like our flag . Hope I'll be forgiven though as I love the...

Actually springs have not been changed out. From pictures of good springs and info on this forum I am sure mine are weak and the plan is to absolutely switch them. Got a lot of things on my plate right now but the truck is fun to work on and would like to get to it. Right now my glow plugs are...

Got this picture right off the Discovery channel Yukon Men Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/YukonMenTV/photos/a.456646187789870.1073741828.441403812647441/963845320403285/?type=3&theater So CUCV will be on this Friday at 8/9 pm for sure. Again sorry for false alarm last Friday. Stan

I am sorry for a kind of false alarm on the CUCV truck being in Friday night show. We never get to see the show beforehand and I thought the last episode it would start to be in. Sounds like it will start in next Fridays one though from the previews someone saw. I actually missed the last...

Rustystud The reason many ( about 50%) do not want the road is because trapping and fishing and hunting spots will get increased pressure on them. Fall moose hunting wherever there are roads is pretty incredible to see. Trucks all along the roads and ATV's getting offloaded etc etc. It will be...
