CUCVRus is one of the guys that make this forum great. Each vehicle subcategory has its knowledge guy and CUCVRus is the one for the CUCV forum. He's usually the one who's advise pulls the most weight in regards as to where I go with a repair. While others get a thank you, some don't get a...

Oh and look what I found. An actually photo of it. Check out the dually to the left

Ok so what I found out is that my truck had quite the history during desert shield. It was painted in the MERDC desert camo and came from JCSE. Of course, i can't find out jack, due to the nature of the unit (OPSEC). JCSE (Joint Communication Support Element) is stationed at mc dill, so it made...

is there a way by looking up the serial # of what unit a truck came from? The truck has been painted over twice and I'm sure I won't be able to dig up the bumper markings.

Porkchop can you PM me some prices, Sir?

I am gathering all the stuff to paint the 5 ton. Now there are a bunch of stenciled areas on the truck, Namely on the trucked about flipping the seats up before lowering the sides of the bed and such. is there a company that sells them? or a member here?

Haaaaa... awesome, yes thank you for the email contact. What you say to questions is in every case I asked spot on and the response is thought through. I'll check the batteries, get new wires and have the alternators rebuild.

Thank you, Tom I'll focus on batteries and getting a rebuild for the Gen

Yes that was my thought as well. The slave cable goes straight to the power distribution bus bar. I have cleaned the connectors at the battery again and put in a larger ground cable from the front battery to the chassis. If that doesn't help I'll test the actual cranking amps of the battery.

I am not sure what those posts , which were resolved have to do with this one. We could just roll every post someone makes in the CUCV forum into one thread, then. Hows that Idea? Anyway, thanks for the effort and the somewhat helpful response. But. porkysplace. you can also feel free to just...

I noticed that sometimes when I crank the truck. The engine would turn over but not catch. If I connect the slave cable and jump with my other cicv, she would glow a lot shorter time and then start right up. The batteries both show over 12,6v and I took the battery cables off and cleaned them. I...

Still what units were using the m1028 commo's ? Especially during desert shield

It does maintain pressure when the truck runs. But the point is that it shouldnt leak this much

I have a marine corps m813 with fording kit and iso bed.

Oh I remember reading about that truck a couple of years back... cool , cool!

It's the same as duallies, but enhanced by autocorrect.

I know some where used as comm shelter carriers in the Air force. Is that what they were used in the Army as well? Do you know what they were used for and by which units?

Yes, on the vent, it is connected to the air lines

How can I check if the valves are closing properly? I think someone messed with the deep fording cable and just bent the end without the proper adjuster. maybe I got a slow internal leak to the pos pressure system?

And then I have all the valves and lines for the fording kit.
