Both my truck and trailer covers have been on for about 4 years now and have traveled probably 5 to 6 thousand miles in that time without issue. I don't take them off and I'm on 11's and routinely run at 50-55 mph. I see that I should add that they are both vinyl.

Well, it appears I'm out of the running so LETS GO SHARECROPPER!!!

Does the air gauge have an alternate source of power that you know of? I don't even see wires going to mine but you never know on this military stuff, they may be ahead of their time, I remember when they had to remove alot of trucks for possible radioactive gauges.

CNKILLERCLOWN, We're trying to fix your issue and I'm with you as we should have some answers soon. I'm glad to know that maybe my truck is OK with taking 10 to 15 minutes to move the temperature gauge up. Maybe I need to get a mechanical gauge for that as well as the electrical system on...

My gauges in my truck are having trouble now. When I switch mine on, the oil pressure and temp are bottomed out to 0. Fuel level somehow goes to 1/2 or better depending on when I last topped off on fuel. When I start it, the tach jumps to 800 rpm but that's a mechanical gauge, the air...

I'm trying to understand how electrical circuits work. My understanding is that if you want something to move, you need to create a path from positive power to a ground or neutral to create a movement or transfer of power of some sorts. The gauge is sitting at 0 when no power is added to the...

There is a cut in the insulation of the wire providing a short straight to ground or you have a bad sending unit with an internal short. To determine which it is, unplug the wire from the sending unit and at the gauge end and using an ohm meter, check for continuity to ground. If that passes...

I'm still campaigning for my truck. I just looked at the polls and in the words of the fictional character Cam Brady from the movie ¨The Campaign¨, I'll tell you right now though, I'm so angry by seeing that, I wish I could go out and punch that baby again¨ You're welcome for your daily...

Sharecropper, someone told me earlier that a CUCV would win this month and it looks like you are on you're way to doing that. I've watched the thread on the restoration and upgrades of your truck and if you're still in the lead toward the end, I'll vote for you. I am also going to campaign and...

I put a C on my truck which came with a D. I've got a new D as in NOS (new old stock, never installed) that I will trade to a buddy of mine who want's a D turbo when we do the swap for the C that is on his truck. For a used C with no idea of the history or usage, I'd only be around 50 bucks...

Sounds like the injectors need going through. The black smoke at idle is the symptom for me. Some are releasing too early causing overfueling on those cylinders and starving fuel to the others which is causing black smoke and loping at idle. You're IP is likely fine.

That's cool, I don't have even 1 vote. Makes me wonder how great this truck is and why there was such a fuss about me wanting to lift it and put bigger tires on it. Oh Well, it's worth alot to my youngest and to heck with the voting process.

Please do not forget to loosen the inner nut 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn after torquing to 50 foot pounds while someone turns the drum. I do 150 on the outer nut as called for in the TM but 200 can't hurt.

I have a buddy who is 6,3 or 6,4 that uses an A2 as a daily driver with a box seat. It has no rebound and he's fine with it and loves the truck. I guess the other question in response would be, do you want the truck? I'll offer an Olive Branch of sorts. I ran short of time helping a buddy...

dtdoyle01, sharecropper, and I need help in the ¨Members Rides¨ section with votes for May MV of the month. A CUCV has not won yet and although I'm partial to my truck, please vote with your heart as they are all nice examples. I've read through sharecropper's build thread and he has done some...

I'd be surprised if a CUCV won but I won't count him out. He has quite a history, he was originally a Fire Truck stored in a cave in Norway as part of the Marine Corps Pre-Positioning Program. He came back to the USA and was sold to us while we were looking for an M1009, he almost got taken...

DS, I said they were going to a bombing range in Nevada. They made the ride and if you want to talk ¨Waste, Fraud, and Abuse¨, they were Condition Code ¨A¨ depot overhauled Front Power Units. One more reason we are broke. I don't think Oshkosh is buying them back as they had right to first...

It's all in the programming. It has to be a package deal though. I've tried to swap a M939A2 CTIS Controller into an FMTV and got the flashing lights. I'm a mechanic in the National Guard part time. When the full time guy called Eaton to inquire, he said that they were identical boxes but...

The picture Derrick posted looks pretty much the same as the front of a new one, his picture is of the back end though. Anyhow, you have to reach behind the front bumper to get the front pins in and the head of the 1 1/2¨ pin will not clear the supports to the side of the tow connection. The...

I agree with Derrick. I tow these trucks pretty regularly whenever we go to the field and 1¨ pins are what's needed on the older ones. Some of the newer ones are configured a little differently, let me see if I can find a picture of the last one I had hooked. The new one's are horrible...
