    New M1010 CUCV, power steering Q's...

    If one hub is sticking and the other is unlocked and you have a limited slip the only thing that is going to happen is the side opposite the sticking hub will rotate at the same speed forward as the locked hub and the spiders will not turn at all. No damage will be done. One good point is being...

    New M1010 CUCV, power steering Q's...

    If you go with one of the local auto store steering boxes for cheap just remember that you get what you pay for. I would use a Red head reman box myself. The steering boxes are NOT all the same between the 10 through the 30 series. Mechanically they will all fit but the internals are different...

    1941 K18-C GMC Recovered today

    Alright, First things first. Happy Birthday Zout. I stopped having those things 30 years ago. Now, PB, I have to know why there is only one wheel on the passengers side rear? I could have sworn that 5,000 pictures ago I saw all the wheels on it as it left the tire shop. Rick

    That would explain the heavy duty brake controller.

    I was Stuck in the mud

    TWO D8's? I ran D8's and pulled out many trucks, never had one I couldn't get out. Including one that left an axle behind! Truck came out, axle did not.:shock:

    I was Stuck in the mud

    You said one side rear was on hard ground, I don't see any hard ground anywhere near there. Someone taking another 5 ton in there to pull you out probably would have resulted in TWO trucks in need of recovery. I think you have now found out that the bigger the vehice that is stuck, the bigger...

    I was Stuck in the mud

    I remember one a couple years ago where a recovery was going bad and the guy needed help on the road. People were networking like crazy to get help to him and one member even drove hours only to find he had moved on without notice. He never even updated OR thanked anyone for getting him home. I...

    I thought you were going to blast and paint the wheels before the new tires went on? Am I to assume that they were in good shape inside? Hard to believe considering how that one front tire looked.

    Careful what you wish for Zout, you may see me there yet. I have about had with plowing and retirement is looking better every day. I could load up the RV and be down there before you know it.

    M-1008 Plowing (Vid)

    I have one right now that I saw this morning on the truck. They took it off against the wall in the barn and did not say anything. Looks like someone took a can opener to it, dead center just above the cutting edge. You old plow guys already know what happened here just as I do but the driver...

    I cannot believe how straight that thing is let alone how solid. Somebody thinks about cutting a hole in the side and I will be taking a road trip with bat in hand!!!!! It is just to fugly to cut.

    M-1008 Plowing (Vid)

    We run Western 8' Pro plows on several CUCV's and the mount comes complete and ready to bolt on. They do not weld on. Remember that this truck is the same as a one ton Chevy pick up so you just order the plow for that year truck. Sometimes the braces for the D rings will be in the way, you can...

    M-1008 Plowing (Vid)

    If you are going to make a video of yourself plowing or doing anything really be sure you know how to do it correctly first. I have run plows for over 40 years and run everything from mower plows up to Oshkosh and FWD plows and blowers. You have a lot to learn and plowing and the way you are...

    noobie having electrical/starting issues.

    Agree with the battery connection. One of the main cables is loose or dirty. The fact that you have nothing at all afterwards I would check the connections closely on the front battery. I believe that is the one that feeds the truck lighting and operating systems, it has been a while since I...

    Choosing Between M923A1 and M923A2

    The A2 will have CTIS which can be very unreliable and expensive to repair.

    Carburetor filling with gas-M882

    Fram, Purolator, Wix. Could use a metal one but the clear plastics ones you can see what is in them. That way you will know what is coming through the line.

    Carburetor filling with gas-M882

    I would tend to agree, bad fuel pump. Replace the pump and put a quality, brand name filter between the pump and the carb. You will have to pull the top off of the carb and rinse out the trash that has gotten in there. Also look closely at the gasket you say is leaking on the carb, it should...
