    Power booster

    This may chafe the purists, but for the same $200 you can get a remanufactured unit from O'Reilly with a lifetime warranty. Or from Rock Auto for $125 to $225. It's the same part. For those dollars, there's no way I'd go thru the hassle of having a special tool machined, buy the kit, and still...

    Power booster

    I saw an original NSN rebuild kit on ebay a few weeks back. Rebuilt units are very common at your favorite parts counter. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    My "new to me" 1997 M1102. (Question about correct rivets)

    Check the TM section of SS, I'd bet a dollar you'll find it in the TM. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Front Hub Locks

    Warn, Warn Premium, Superwinch...plenty out there to choose from. If you're going to order them from the web or a big giant like 4Wheel Parts, tell them it's for an 84 Chevy K5. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Need help Identifying this frame CUCV m1008

    Depends on which civvy factory bumper you're comparing it to, but only potentially in the rear...absolutely not in the front. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    M1102 HMMWV trailer chassis

    @cucvrus absolutely 100% do-able. Same lugnuts too. I run the OE GM cast aluminum wheels on both my 116A3 and my K25 (tho I need a custom lugnut to do so correctly). Be prepared to see an approx 3" difference in trailer ride height, tho the unsprung weight will be notably reduced. Send it. Sent...

    Need help Identifying this frame CUCV m1008

    The CUCV is/was a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) solution meant for logistical/background supporting roles, not intended for combat. They were derived directly from the civvy trucks with a few things adapted for military service such as bumpers, lighting, and 24v NATO starting systems. Shy of...

    Different Way to Plumb Dual Fuel Tanks

    Road tractors (semis) have done this very thing since the dawn of Diesel. Old ones drew from a single side and had an equalizing line at the bottom of the tanks. Modern/current more closely resemble exactly what you're describing but with more intricacy with mismatched tank sizes. I say try it...

    Best CUCV replacement dash pad

    I recall the dashpad being a civvy twin...LMC Truck has some offerings in the color pages in the center of their catalog that show well on paper. Classic Industries, USA1, Tucker's...a Google search for Squarebody restoration parts gives a cornucopia of stuff to filter thru. I've noted in the...

    Rare Gm part. Anyone read Japanese?

    Google Translate is built into both PC and mobile Chrome so as to make a website usable. With this tool you should be able to register and contact the seller. Google translate can also be installed as an app...give it a word/phrase and it will give a technical translation, just avoid all slang...

    Is this load bank suitable?

    @Jayhawk#44 the 5K Comfort Zone heaters were going for $100 ea when I got mine from Amazon. They're available from many online retailers and occupy the space of about 4 stacked shoeboxes. My opinion, unless tinkering is your preference there's no better or cost effective solution I'm aware of...

    Mep803a fuel tank leaks

    While you're at it.... Since you have the tank out, would be an ideal time to install new wellnuts. Do a quick site search for "ultimate well nut repair"...it's a marine grade bulkhead fitting that's far superior to the leak-prone OE fittings. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Is this load bank suitable?

    @Chainbreaker nailed it withe the Comfort Zone space heaters...best value for loading these other than an old electric range off Craigslist. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
