Also keep in mind that if you got this drip from locking in the front hubs and driving around. It is probably just crud on the seal and shaft. Unlock the hubs and drive it like normal for work. A drip or two a day isn't going to run out a quart any time soon. For times when you have it in...

The air comes in all the time from the cowling between the hood and glass. I assume this question came up because your add on a/c is blowing cold and you have a flow of fresh hot air coming out either the floor or the defrost vents? Besides finding a civi resurculation door, housing and...

I happened to catch the end of the OU game yesterday while waiting for the race to start. OU is going to be in Kyle Field the Saturday of our Rally. The time of the game has not been set yet because of tv. If it is a mid day game, we might not be able to go anywhere to eat without being in a...

The switch is on top of the tcase above the passenger side of the case. I find it easier to put the lever in 4wd low, put one arm in over the front drive shaft and the other hand coming in from the back to get the plug off. The -20 only list ways of testing the switch if the light isn't coming...

Welcome to the fun. Probably the best thing you could do is click on the CUCV forum and then read the FAQ thread for CUCV's sticky. The manuals will be listed out in there, troubleshooting, common faults and basically everything you need to know about operating, repairing and using the vehicle.

We will have children there, so as long as you consume in a polite way, not a problem. Most of the camp fires at these kind of events are attended by people who drag a cooler over to the fire with their chairs. Might be a M715 owner from Lindale coming down.

I actually had to buy that one since my spares were messed up in some way or another. Saturn Surplus is where that one came from. I would make a suggestion however. Get a vernier type (Like in an airplane) throttle from a generator. The movement of the 6.2 throttle shaft is way more...

5 ton trucks, prime movers, CCKW's and all kinds of new and old vehicles were in service when the 105 came out in 1951 or so (I don't have "the book" here at work, so I can't tell you the exact year they came out). Things were not nearly as standardized as now.

There is the museum that a lot of members here are members of: MILITARY MUSEUM OF TEXAS There is also the MVPA. Then you have the Steel Soldiers here on this site. Welcome to the fun!

With all that you have done. Just about the only thing left not listed is your brake hoses. Your left one could have a constriction not releasing pressure that will build as you drive and create heat or your right one could be swelling when you apply pressure or have a constriction in it...

Mike, Surface prep is going to make or break the paint job. If you have bare metal, prime it, sand the primer once it dries in about 15-30 minutes. The higher the number on the sand paper, the finer and smoother it will be. The higher number also means it will take longer. 180-280 is just...

Howdy, come on down to Bryan in November for our Rally. I'm sure with all the people planning to be there that a truck can be located for you.

I tried searching, but "fire" seems to be a very popular word on the search base. Anyway, I know I have seen a thread about what size the military bottle was that fits right into the brackets on our trucks. Anybody remember what size it is and if there is a civilian product of similar size...

Put a volt meter across both batteries with the truck off. It should be above 24.4 volts. Start the truck and it should be 28.8. If you have that, then you have a bad gauge. If you don't, it is time to start checking the alternator first and then the rest of the wiring. Look in the -20...

There are several threads on here about converting to all 12 volt. You will need to find a civi 12 volt starter. Everything else will be changing where a few wires go. Very easy to do. However, you won't be able to jump another mv off or be jumped off. I would suggest a single 27si...

You would probably be better off swapping tail gates instead of making the electric parts work in yours. I looked at a few civi Blazers over the weekend trying to get some slider windows. All 5 had electric rear glass. The guy didn't even know they made a hand crank glass. He wanted to look...

Colton has his b-day Friday and we have some stuff planned at the house. Sorry I won't make it Mark. Rory, who did you kick to break your leg?

More accurate would be that you are between repairs. I get waved at by law enforcement types all the time in my bumper number registered trucks. I have only been pulled over once in almost 4 years of driving all over the state with just the bumper numbers. I used to get stopped at least once a...

Where in Texas are you again? Lots of us multifuel guys will take that fuel. I am prepping for the tropical storm as well since it is supposed to be over my house or near here Wednesday.

Ball joints, wheel bearings, tire rod ends and drag link ends. Those are the parts in the front end that are meant to wear and are replacable. Look through the manuals, test those parts and replace what needs it.
