What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

[rustystud]

Was referring to the ease of access since the cluster was removed to refresh grounds BEHIND the cluster etc.
Whatever ones he could reach.
Was not talking about the cluster itself.

Remove ground
sand
brush
Apply NO-OX-ID conductive grease
reinstall

Simple as that


Would do the relays too.

Cleaning contacts is a little different.

Well that explains it. I thought you where talking about making "coffee" !
OK, just kidding ! Thought we could use a little humor here.

Can always use humor...and coffee.

Put in a new air filter and finally built my license plate bracket.

I love the tailgate. Back east here that gate would fetch big bucks. $$$. Nice straight and free of rust. No license plate light required in California?

I knew I should have mentioned that, I put in Miniature LED License Plate Bolts.

I got mine from SuperBrightLEDs.com for $3.95 each.
I haven't wired them up yet.

This is a normal M1009 K 5 blazer gate in the north east. This is after 20 years exposure and hard use.

I won another M1101 trailer this afternoon; for $140 less than my last one (that I had to sell).

Not looking forward to all the drama of getting it registered but at least now I have room to keep it and the M1009 for pulling it home.

This is the old one. I had to rig up the pintle to the jeep to get it home.

Nice

Installed a new service light and mounted the switch between the blackout switches..

So I can't find anything that says I need to fill out and submit an EUC for the trailer. The auction description says it has a demil code of A and elsewhere:

For items with the demilitarization codes Q or F, Trade Security Controls require buyers to fill out an End-Use Certificate (EUC).

So that seems to say that I do not need the EUC, however I did have to do and redo the EUC several times the last time I won a trailer (on govliq).

Did something change?

I put somewhere amongst 60 in gas in my truck today. Ran it hard, speedo needle was pointing at the left blinker indicator more than once. Was surprisingly smooth at that speed. Found out I need king pin bushings and springs though. Getting a little death wobble at low speeds 25-45 sometimes. Then I get to chase down a new electrical gremlin, I have a shorted wire somewhere in my stereo that keeps blowing a fuse. Oh well just another day in the life of me

Blew fuses and lost running and dash lights after hooking up the M1101.

Hang tough, CUCLOVER. If it was easy, then anybody could tackle it.

I hear ya brother.
Truck is always an easy fix no matter how hard the task. Dealing with women now that's just enough to make anyone's head explode when they act stupid.

Ditto, snow2pwc. MV ownership "ain't" for sissies. You can do this.

They're both on same circuit. There has to be a shorted/smashed wire on the trailer for it's taillights.

Trouble shooting a short circuit in a 30 year old truck is simple compared to a any short circuit in a woman.

I got my keys in the mail today and finally got to drive my truck for the first time in over a week. All thanks to Recovry4x4.
