Well, finally remembered to take note, and a pic, of these lights at dark to see if they might be dimmer. They look like the exact same brightness. Amazing my feeble mind thought to wire them this way. Sometimes I amaze myself. Also pressure washed her completely today.

Changed oil with Rotella today and put a Napa Gold filter on it. Why is the old oil such a nasty black. My 5 ton had pretty clean oil in it when I got it (changed it anyway) and this oil in the CUCV was nasty black when I got it and the PO said he just changed it. It was black already today...

No hanger/carrier bearing on this unit. Probably because such short wheel base. The leak isn't so bad, as I had plenty class 1 leaks on the 800 series dump I had when serving and didn't ever get most replaced while I was there. However, as silverstate55 mentioned, the sitting these units did...

Thanks Rattlecan, will check tomorrow.

Great thread! Thanks to all who contributed. My front intermediate just started leaking and is only a class 1 leak (seepage only; never a hanging drop visible yet). Question is, I bid on a M105A2 180 miles away at a level where I will win the auction, and I was wondering if it's safe to put this...

Is it tomorrow yet?

Got my rear shocks installed. Front ones seemed alright. I just happened to have a brand new set of Rough Country N2.0s that came with a 2" lifted front spring kit I bought for a civy Chevy a couple years ago and never changed rear shocks. Very smooth removal with the motor pool using lube on...

Check for voltage going to the blower motor, or to and from the switch.

Got my stomach hurtin again. You always find the perfect picture.

Ok. I see. Thank you for the info and pictures as well. Nice to know model number too. Did you just get that truck on a Govplanet auction? I saw a real sharp unit went a few months back and it was white and in GA.

Did you have to modify the hitch or truck any to get the hitch in there? Did the pintle hook braces that attach to the frame interfere?

Glad to see that nice rig win. Congratulations.

...everyone votes for gottaluvit's CUCV!

Mine wasn't starting first attempt at 50 degrees before I tore into my truck. Only two of them were bad when I took the glow plugs out of mine. It needs all 8 in working order and it will start first attempt at 15 degrees! (I will know lower temps as they come but it's only been as low as 15...

If you put your actual location you might find out there's someone in your neck of the woods that just might physically come to help. Or at least try my hardest to talk you into selling me one of those two trucks!

I just recently changed my glow plugs for the same reason. Started nicely with warm weather and only one cycle of the GP light, or the occasional two. As fall crept in the cycle count needed to get it to start went up. I put new GPs in and messed them up with my inexperience, but once I was...

Especially when it's so easy to vote for gottaluvit's Cucvee!

I love that brush guard. I wouldn't remove that! It is a statement. That radiator cover is sweet too. So cool you kept the bowtie showing. The General would appreciate that! I myself was always proud to drive a GM truck, but these Cucvees really are a machine to be proud to drive! It's like the...

Dude, you always make me laugh very much outloud. Thanks!

Thank you sir!
