Can't say enough about RUST ! plus a PITA to repair , IMHO better to find a good cab ,fenders and body .

WOW , that's a tall order , top down or bottom up , doesn't matter , but like anything else , body , engine , driveline , look for rust under the fenders , cab , windshield frame , cargo body . Check for obvious oil/fluid leaks and CONDITION , brakes , lights working . Check front axle boots ...

You are VERY LUCKY , years ago Ford vehicles had the exact same problem , a neighbor was inspecting his Ford vehicle to pin down a strange noise , fan blade let go , went in his chest almost killed him . I believe there was a recall for the fan blades cracking . After 50-60 years probably not a...

IN my state (NY) there is a yearly emission inspection in the NYC area for HD diesels , upstate there is no diesel emissions testing AT THIS TIME . However there is always the "smoke test" for all HD vehicles which is done by NYSP or DOT at a road stop . Right now there is only safety...

If the engine does indeed have low oil pressure , a rebuilt oil pump will probably not fix it . You need to start thinking crankshaft and bearing clearance . I have been rebuilding engines a LONG time ,and I have YET to find a engine complaint of LOP fixed by just a new oil pump . You are losing...

Look for rust around the u joint caps , best way is to pull the drive shaft and check for any loose or binding U joints . As for your other noise , time to get up close and personnel with your CUCV , check EVERYTHING since this vehicle is NEW to you , if nothing else for YOUR piece of mind and...

45 PSI for highway is about it , rim is only safe for 60 PSI , you were VERY LUCKY on the drive home . You need to read all the TM's on these vehicles . BTW , as stated , you either have a leaking valve stem and/or O ring leaking , get used to it , common problem on this type of wheel and tire...

Now that was a adventure ! , glad it all worked out and you are safe and sound , great story . Bob k

Looking real good !, very nice . Now you can kinda see the light at the end of the tunnel ! LOL

Yes indeed , they sure make a HOLE fast , but then again when you need a hole you need it FAST ! wonder how they work in rocky soil ? one thing for sure they all look HEAVY DUTY !

Wow , what a piece of equipment ! smokes a BIT , bet no LS fuel there ! lots of batteries on running boards , and that thing has got some get up and go . What is with the people hanging off the sides , he must have one **** of a GRIP !! could use a semi-U blade , LOL , leave it to the Russians !

Did you try Eric's , they seem to have a lot of A3 seal's

DAILY DRIVER ? a M37 , LOL , sorry , you really need to go for a ride in one first , it will explain a LOT , save us the typing .

Forgot to mention , don't forget the "Dip Strips" . You use them as a quick test on the condition of the Anti-Freeze . NAPA should have them .

10-4 good luck , bob k

WOW , that sounds like a great trip ! Wish I could join you . best of luck , keep the rubber side down ! BTW , that tool box damage looks like FORK LIFT tracks , check carefully before your drive .

I would give your truck a flush and refill . You should buy your anti freeze at NAPA or a Truck parts dealer , for two reasons , first , you will need a LOT , and second , you need HD anti freeze for a diesel engine , not the crap at Wal-Mart , very important for corrosion control in that...

Is the fan coming on ? make sure the fan clutch is working as it should . How does the coolant look ? make sure it is clean or else flush and change . BTW , with a 195 thermostat it would run about that temp . If you let it idle what is the temp ?

Looking get my Mule from North West Alabama ( Florence Area) to Buffalo NY . Time frame is open , but would like to get it before this winter sets in . I can meet transporter on the road if need be . PM me and I can fill in details . bob k

Throwing parts at your MV is a crap shoot at best , as they say take the time to read the TM's . It is not a difficult system to diagnosis once you get a understanding of it . Those GM alternators are some of the easiest to rebuild and parts are available . Just get yourself a decent VOM and you...
