    50A Aircraft Battery Charger through NATO plug. M1008A1

    I use NOCO smart chargers on my optima red and blue tops. They do very well. I need to do some more research before using the aircraft charger. Will give the Hawker Battery folks a call and talk to them and see what they say.

    50A Aircraft Battery Charger through NATO plug. M1008A1

    I was recently given a 24V aircraft battery charger. It’s an older one but in excellent condition. A switch can change it from just powering the aircraft to 50A battery charging mode. It is an automatic charging system and not just a straight charger. Is 50A too much for a stock NATO system...

    FMTV, LMTV, M1078 Civilian Truck-lite LED Headlight Install

    You get what you pay for. Many different noname/cheap brand lights are advertised for jeeps and such. Good Quality LED headlights cost a lot more than $100. Yes there is a difference. Quality, reliability, beam pattern, longevity, light color, materials and so on. One can save money on...

    50/50 crude oil mix

    Also be aware that the federal/state tax man doesn’t like things like this.

    How many Newtonmeter got the 1986 m1009?

    Look on the side of the engine air cleaner where the emissions label clearly states (for 86/87 years anyway) 155hp.

    Just purchased and await delivery of M1102 with fiberglass top. Wanna make a camper.

    Read the old threads about your model trailer. A ton of information in them and answers to questions you haven’t even thought of yet.

    M1101 Camping build

    At least the trailer sits level with the truck. The top looks good. Trailer doesn’t look bad at all painted white. A clean canvas awaits

    New M1008! Couple of questions!

    Looks great! Recommend you black out your license tag number ASAP You would be amazed at what can be found out about you with it.

    Tossing the push button start

    I always love reading the stories about guys bypassing an issue.......instead of actually fixing the issue.

    M103a3 axle

    No idea on the weight, but Dexter Axle will have something for a replacement. They are a supplier to the Military. Did you look at the axle tab already? It will have the part number and weight rating, etc.

    New M1008! Couple of questions!

    The engine definitely needs a bath. Car wash with hot water will clean her up nice. Just stay away from alternators.

    Rear Axle Came Loose...

    I would also check the fluid levels in everything else in the truck. Everything.

    Can you run JP8 in the CUCV M1009 ?

    You can do that with almost zero issues....... But......do not let it sit around for a long time with Prist added to fuel. It does not store well when mixed and will cause fuel system issues.

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

    Put a can of Seafoam additive in your tank and 1 can each the next few tanks. It will clean up dirty injectors and improve the entire fuel system. You might have other issues but the seafoam will not hurt anything.

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

    Definitely When our wife’s last met, they both had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Especially when they were imitating us justifying our latest surplus purchase to them. Yea. Keepers both.

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

    I haven’t done a thing to mine. Haven’t even seen it in 3 weeks. Temporarily assigned in Northern California with flying and really miss my M1008A1. My wife sent pics of her driving it. ........made the CUCV withdrawals worse.

    Can you run JP8 in the CUCV M1009 ?

    JP8 an inferior fuel?! ........Hardly JP8 is an excellent fuel and has several additives that aren’t available in the civilian world. Run it all day long without worry.
