    Forklifting a M1082A1

    M1082 has full air brakes. Can't see them going backward on the A1 model.

    Same plug in mine but it is black plastic.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Is that another M105 behind that 1st pic? Also, if the end curtain is coming off you could attach it directly to the bow with screws and large washers with small holes. I did that to two of mine and they are holding well.

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    I love Ohio! Anyone can drive a "commercial" vehicle for non commercial use with a regular driver's license! Gotta have appropriate plates on the vehicle though. Ah, the land of freedom.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Sounds like fine tuning from that engine swap. Is that gasser holding up to that lead foot?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Have to figure out how the low coolant light started coming on intermittently, with the radiator completely full. Don't see a sensor on the overflow tank but looks like it's time to hit the TM combined with common sense. Darn TM can lead you to an empty wallet if you aren't careful. Yesterday...

    So did it crank the engine noticably faster?

    The beast died after hitting a bump!!

    I too thought it was a second hidden switch in addition to the main battery power switch, to stop thieves. However, if it feels sloppy, the replacement is a good idea, as it could fail at a time most inconvenient.

    The beast died after hitting a bump!!

    Have never seen a data plate on my alternator but havn't looked either. Both look like the above pictures, but my starter zips pretty quick.

    The beast died after hitting a bump!!

    Yes, the batteries would start the truck regardless of the alternator's condition, if fully charged good batteries. You could just momentarily bypass the battery cut off switch to check it. Not like we have taxpayer funding to just throw stuff at these beasts.

    The beast died after hitting a bump!!

    So how does a person; 1.) Know if they have a gear reduction starter? 2.) Know if they have a more modern "reliable" alternator?

    Easy Way To Take Weight Off Loaded M1082's Springs

    I had never heard that before about static load. Makes sense. Gotta agree on the anxiety part. It might still be of use to help someone else with OCD issues! I had thought about that bumper, but looking at it closer and knowing it is meant to stop a rear impact by stopping a car from coming...

    Easy Way To Take Weight Off Loaded M1082's Springs

    It was already taken off the left side by the slope. The weight of the load is balanced (left and right) but that slope really showed a curve on the right side springs. If it were level, both would have been necessary. I actually wanted to shift some of it to the left side.
