I hate to ask such an ignorant question, but I did not know where else to ask. I have no experience with the military and no experience with "fire sticks." I was just curious as to what the standard weapon was during the period of the the CUCV. I would like to find a replica to fill those...

My father was involved in a chain-snapping incident. He still got the scars...

Thanks for everyone for adding to this to make it more informative. I took decently long night trip the other evening, and my headlights still went out. The new harness didn't solve my problem. I'm just going to take everything apart and clean it when I get to it. Also, after flipping back and...

I was having sever headlight problems. A fix recommended on here was to replace the fuse with a circuit breaker. I did that. The breaker would get real hot after an hour of low beam use. Much more, and the breaker would trip and I would loose lights. Which is not fun when it happens on the free...

I brought home an m1008 that had silicone jammed in all sorts of places. Body, bed, vent windows, you name it! Its like the Military's duct tape.

Just putting it out there, but according to LMC Truck, the 78-91 k5 (civy) Blazer, with a 10 bolt rear-end, came with the following ratios: 2.73, 3.08, 3.42, 3.73, and 4.11 However, I have also learned that when building the CUCV, GM mixed and matched parts from previous years. For example I...

Thanks for this information. I am looking at buying Cooper SSt's myself. When are you going to paint the bottom of your front hubs? :D

I'm guessing they didn't want that part of the tree cut in order to save it for lumber. Nice truck! I'm not a real fan of the whole bobbing idea (however I have no room to talk) But your is very nice and proportional. I like it. ;-)

Anybody that knows more than I do want to comment? :p

Invest in some glow plugs. :smile: There are way to find the bad ones if you don't want to replace them all. I believe those methods are found in the -20 TM (not sure though). If you don't replace all of them I would replace the bad ones with the 60G AC Delco glow plugs, which I think are the...

It would make sense that Gasoline would make WMO or other thick oil slightly more "peppy" as well as making it thinner. However, I'm not sure this is the case. It has to do with the whole octane/cetane thing. These guys know a whole lot more than I do...

This evening after it got dark, I went back out to try it again. I was also going to test for a short by disconnecting the negative battery terminal and measuring the voltage between the ground post on the forward battery with different circuits on. When i tried the light everything worked. Dash...

Nothing ever happens the way its supposed to wit these things. I went out and bought a circuit breaker from Napa for a temporary fix. When I put it in I got a little spark (thought that might be bad). Then when I went to test the lights and everything else on that circuit, the only thing that...

I read the sticky, everything makes sense now, thanks. (: Now I need to sit down and STUDY the sticky.

Well then what could cause it to be overloaded? The only thing I could imagine that would overload anything would be the stereo system that came in the vehicle. Its on it own circuit but plugged into the brake light slot with a "add a circuit" from Autozone. I play it loud, but I don't have any...

Whoa, I don't even know how to figure drag and rolling resistance. I'm still in Chemistry, Physics is next year (;

Well. That, children, is a lesson in the purpose of research. :D

I was driving along one night and all of a sudden I got a hot plastic smell and all my lights went out. I had no interior lights, dash lights (except for the dummy lights and glow plug wait light) head lights, tail lights, blinkers or flashers. NOTHING. However the starting system still worked...

I got a little curious and decided to calculate the supposed top speeds of some popular CUCV drive train setups. Please feel free to correct my math if it has any discrepancies. M1008- stock TH400, 4.56 differential gears, 235/85/16 tire size with a circumference of 95.82 inches. Also, third...

Welcome to the fun! I'd rather have blue doors without dents and without mirrors than green doors with dents and mirrors :P
