    High pitch whine sound from driver rear tire area.... help

    have you gotten someone to drive you around with you sitting in the passenger seat and again in the back so you can try and pin down if it really is on just that side. The pinion bearings are what usually seem to go out on these axles more than anything else. what your describing seems to be...

    Slave jumping

    you know you can usually jump a CUCV off with a civi vehicle if you put the cables on just the front battery. Works great and yes before the forum police get all huffy i did check it before i did it the first time and yes its just 12v at the first battery. it doesnt become 24v until the back of...

    Turn signal problems

    i had one that did that, its your turn signal lever on the steering wheel. If i read your post correctly it clicks into place on a left turn but doesnt click into place on a right turn. The reason you arent getting the clicking on a right turn is the signal isnt traveling from the signal lever...

    Why 2650rpm max?

    to be honest i have no idea why but i have a m35a2 with a rod sticking out of the block to prove the point. If i had to guess I would think it is a design deficency due to the unique design of the Multifuel engines piston. Outside of the FDC the engine is a basic diesel engine. It is the only...

    Cannibalized while waiting for EUC!

    As i see it you have three courses of action 1. refuse the lot on the grounds that it was picked over.... but you stand the chance of getting on GL's bad side and maybe getting kicked out of the system 2. File a claim with GL for replacements with cost estimates and roll the dice on how the GL...

    Which APC's can stop .50 cal AP rounds ?

    you also are talking about a round hitting at 90 degrees. yes a 50 cal has tons of penetrating potential but with the angled armor the chances of the round not penetrating or being deflected are greater..... I rode around in a Saxon in Baghdad that I sure wouldnt want to be in when getting...

    M820 From Redstone AL to New Mexico.

    ditto on the roadtrip. thats allot of truck to be throwing on a trailer. The previous poster was right somewhere around 3.00 a mile would be a good guess.

    Volvo TP 21 Sugga Camo Pattern

    i really like that command car. Either that one or another like it was on ebay motors awhile back but i dont have much use for one right now. I liked it allot though. Thats an awesome camo pattern. Makes me wonder how some of my other more exotic MV's would have looked with something similar.

    6.2 M1009 misses

    ditto, change the filter first though. A slightly clogged filter sounds very likely

    The reason you tow your m1009 home not drive

    Ditto.... Im fond of just renting a Uhaul car hauler when i get close to wherever im picking up from with M1009's but usually I just flat tow them home. Never have had a problem they tow real nice.

    Just got my first m37 !!!

    great looking truck...... there is a company that handles older m37/power wagon parts and panels. I think its vintage power wagon or something like that. You should be able to google it anyway. They are pretty reasonable on parts and ive never heard anyone complain about them.

    86 CUCV Blazer(still 24v); Batteries completely discharged

    a bad battery will fry an altenator, you adding the new battery might have just masked the problem by providing more power in a dead system. I would test the altenators. Was it the front battery or the rear battery you replaced. If it was the front one it charges from the drivers side altenator...

    Problem this morning, need help.

    this probably will sound rude but you need to get the TM and find out where all these wires go and what terminals go to where. If something is screwy that would be the place to give you the best clue

    Problem this morning, need help.

    Have you checked the ground? If you have power going to the starter is it grounding properly. The starting without stopping with the key in the on position instead of the start postition is the starter relay under the dash. Go ahead and replace it its about 7 dollars from autozone see the CUCV...
