    It would not be a Kaiser Jeep but could be a Reo, Curtis Wright, Packard, or Studebaker Depending. They are all early makes. Kaiser bought out Reo to start making the Kaiser-Jeep brand of M35's.

    It is not for public release and I don't think it is posted for that reason. Some have it but I doubt it would be posted. I still am looking for someone to send me a copy.

    Trailer Light Problems

    This brings up a good point that people sometimes forget. These trucks were accepted by the military in 1984 and part of the contract was not to do the yearly upgrades for the parts. A 1986 cucv will be built with 1984 spec parts. Even the correct T harness did not work correctly for me. I had...

    model year differences?

    There are no 6 cylinder cucvs. Their might be a contract blazer that is not an M series vehicle but I do not think any full size blazers from that era ever came with a 6 cylinder.

    ACU camo?

    The military tested the digital camo of vehicles in the 80's or 90's but stayed with three color. David Doyle had an article on this in MVM or Army Motors and it had pics from the period. It was experimental only and was used in Europe IIRC. This was way before ACU were even thought of.

    Couple CUCV questions

    You can also carefully sand off the paint on the bumper. Record the different numbers and letters from the various levels of paint. This will tell you the units the vehicle was assigned to. You can then research the unit designations or post here for help in decoding the designations.

    Weird starting issue

    Your kidding right? No spark on a diesel. Air leak into the fuel line or bad injection pump is my guess. A bad boost pump might be a problem also. Once the engine is warm it will usually start without glow plugs.

    Xtreme 4X4 Deuce bobbed(Spike TV)

    They had to use the compressors for the air ride because the air ride computer was inside the compressor pack. It was needed for the automatic adjustment. They automatically adjust to keep the same ride height with different loads. I would rather have the computer do it rather than having to...

    Vent replacement

    I would rather remove the window so you do not accidently damage it while twisting the vent window frame around to get it out. Do what you want.
