    Issues with SF-97

    I am now waiting for 2. One on an M833 shelter dolly and one for an M1031 Contact truck. Why an EUC on a CUCV Chevrolet makes no sense, but I can buy all the M939 series trucks I can afford with out it. Nope, no ryme or reason to the EUC program.

    5 Ton VIN for SF97?

    S/N is what is used as the VIN on these trucks.

    Introduction and need a hand please!

    Welcome from where you picked your truck up. Sorry to hear about your bad luck. If you check around you may find a case for a decent price. Boyce Equipment is in Ogden so you may check with them on a case so you could road trip to get it. Good luck on your endever.

    Now I have a CUCV.

    I haven't picked it up yet as I have filed an EUC and just need to wait for it to go through. I do have a question for the CUCV gurus, what is the M designation on this truck? 1986 ID'ed as a D30 Contact truck. I haven't seen a data plate(yet) but here is a pic of the GM ID plate.

    Fred from Dirt Every Day drives the M1078.

    Well, that answered a question for me. The undisclosed location is the Weber County Fair Grounds storage facility in Ogden, Utah. I looked at that truck when I was picking up a couple M939 series trucks and was wondering what the "Dirt Every Day" stuff was and now I know. I still don't think I...

    5 ton recovery ft Polk

    DO NOT TOW WITH 1 TON TRUCK!!!!! Find someone with another M923/5, M934, M936 to tow it with. Safety first always. You need a rig that can handle the weight and supply air to towed vehicle brakes. None of this is worth dieing for or killing some one.

    m929 dump.engine lock up ???

    That button for whatever reason ingages the torque converter lockup. Makes no sense why. But Mil spec, why ask why?

    m 925 winch operation question

    I would have to see a pic of the way your cable is currently wrapped on you winch to be sure, but if the winch is spooled backwards it will reel up the cable but NOT pull any torque. I know as mine was backwards and couldn't pull a small tree out of the ground and after rewinding it the correct...

    5 ton recovery ft Polk

    I would just pull the drive shaft from t-case to forward rear axle and supply air to the truck from the tow vehicle then you will have brakes on the towed truck. Check all diffs for fluid level and then stop every so often to check for excessive heat at wheel bearings and brakes of towed truck...

    Now I have a CUCV.

    Won the bid for a 1986 CUCV D30 service truck. The truck only has 6845 miles on it. Not sure when I will actually get to pick it up as I have to submit an EUC. Got a good buy though at $4k before fees/taxes.

    Where are all the HMMWVs going?

    My earlier comment was ment as a joke, nothing more. There were those $60K+ trucks that auctioned on GL out of New York, of course still no SF97s.

    Hill in Utah

    GL would make you tow or trailer them off, but we picked one up out there a couple weeks ago from GP and they let us drive. I would plan on towing as I don't thimk GP was suppose to allow us to drive off. When they said they didn't care, we were out of there. I am also surprise a truck at Hill...
