Here is a copy/paste from this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/56739-brake-lights-work-under-brake-not-under-service.html Lots of information out there about the push button light switch. The 3 lever switch does a lot of things. I went through about 9 or 10 used ones until I...

Read the -20 manual about a "major" and a "Minor" brake adjustment. Yours sounds like it needs both. Many threads have been written about brake adjustment. It is really a very simple process that takes longer to jack up the axle than do. However, since this is a new to you truck. I would...

Doug, I assume you have a M1008? The best thing you can do is click on the yellowish "CUCV" at the top of this page right before your thread title. That will get you to the CUCV forum. The very top post is a sticky called CUCV FAQ. Open that and then open, download and print out all the manuals...

No, don't feel bad at all. You have been in my driveway. UPS and the mail man tear it up so bad I won't miss them a bit. Plus, I still have 7 other mv's that need parts from far away. I explained to Jennifer why I needed to stop at NAPA Thursday night. I told her so that in case she was...

Very nice looking truck. Follow the advice a bunch of us should have mentioned earier. Read the manual and follow the steps. Something else to keep in mind since it seems he has been throwing lots of money at this thing. Is he getting new parts or NOS 50 year old parts? Anything like the...

I have had brake system failures, but always with a warning that kept me in the driveway. Dry master after sitting a while, pedal just a hair low at start up, brake fluid in weird places, funny feel not really related to pedal hight, etc.. Yes, it is a single line system. However, it will...

I just hung up with my local NAPA. They will have a new switch in the morning. This CUCV thing is weird. I am not used to buying parts meant for my vehicle local at a decent price. UPS is going to get mad at me.

Joe summed up what wasn't already mentioned real well. I will add this. If your volt meter on the truck is just staying at the yellow/green divide. You probably only have 1 working alternator. Do your checks and tell us what you find.

If it is less than $1.00 per gallon, then go for it. Just remember that diesel is the base fuel the engine likes the most. Heavy on gasoline will work, but starting might take a little longer, power will be down some and there is probably water in the fuel as well. (I write that because I have...

Yes, both the Autozone and NAPA parts look right. Your wiring is the same as mine as well. Thanks.

Pull the spare tire to swap out the cable. It makes the job a lot easier. At least it did for me.

I would suggest draining the fuel tank, putting in new fuel to start with. If it runs and then once warm begins to go bad. I think coil. My Gasser M35 did this a few years ago. Purred like a kitten and roared like a lion until I got more than 2 miles from home. Then it would sputter, die...

The tall stainless things are field stoves. PM Warthog for burners. I got one of the stoves from Warthog thinking to use it with Scouts as well. The thing is too heavy to lug around. As part of a MKT perfect though. The trailer is a M101-A2. Perfect for Scout camp outs. I have stopped...

The M149 is basically just a M105 with a different body. Those all have air brakes. Unless you hook it up to an air source, then unhook it. It will drag just fine and free. If you are pulling it with a 1 ton civi truck. Take along a hilift jack because the landing leg won't let the tongue...

Your email arrived at 8:59. I posted above at 9:02. Sorry for not reading your email fast enough. Thanks for the part numbers and the look on the parts truck.

Camping is the plan and each person taking care of their own meals. Lunch on Saturday is the meal I was writting about. It just came to me. We can hit Midnight Yell too.

I agree that it is probably a belt loose. However, it could also be the 10 amp maroon fuse at the very bottom of the fuse block not making continious contact. It is a good idea to un plug the batteries, pull each fuse one by one, clean the contacts ont he block and the fuse and repeat for all...

Clean the end of the plug too. Mine was intermittent, then constant. I did the checks in the -20 and put in a new sensor. All good for about a month and then it started coming on every now and then. I cleaned the plug, crimped it a hair with pliers and now all is good again.

I don't think his issue is the heater core putting out heat. Moving the stock slide to the far left takes care of that. It is the ambient air coming in that is killing his add on a/c effectiveness if I understand him correctly.

I don't know how everybody else's wiring runs for this switch, but mine goes through the floor at the tcase shifter housing. Mine is just sandwiched between the cover and the floor. Real easy to ground out if it ever has been tugged on or moved around. While we are talking about the...
