I was looking at going down that same "rabbit hole" for my home back when the surplus 10K gen-sets were going for $300-$500 . What stopped me was the later gen-set auctions the prices were going for $3,000-$5,000 and the auto transfer option was rare and very expensive at the time. For $6,000...

Why replace the surge brakes? IMHO that is one of the best features on those trailers. A properly maintained surge brake system is fool proof and operates so smoothly you hardly realize that trailer is behind you. Just get a pintle hitch adapter for your tow vehicle and you will be well ahead...

Hear is your advice; Your 10mph is built in for your safety. You have to get over the "WOW" factor before it will allow you drive any faster.

A good quality high temperature off the shelf spray paint in a rattle can is all you need. I use to paint my service trucks exhaust systems back in the day. It would hold up for a several years depending how many salty roads you travel. Rust-Oleum High Temperature Spray Paint or Krylon High...

I think the forum rules were broken because of the thread title. Every time my wife sees me reading this thread she accuses me of having an affair

Where ya going to store your surf board?

So true, married here but with limited purchasing permission. I pass up neat things almost daily. It could be a good thing I guess, My back yard doesn't look like a used car lot and I still have most of my retirement fund intact.

That's a nice project to work on if you get it. Are you planning on restoring it to original or keeping it as a camper?

The D in the Vin means Military vehicle not diesel.> The 3 in the Vin after the D means 1 ton.> The J in the Vin means 6.2 diesel. "Just saying" Old Guys Rule

GOOGLE is your friend. It found all the missing D30s Chevrolet produced a D30 model truck. The D30 was a 1-ton truck that was part of the Chevy C/K series of trucks. It was produced from 1975 to 1986. The D30 was equipped with a Dana 60 front axle and a GM 14-bolt rear axle2. The D30 was also...

Maybe the D stood for Diesel?

What happened to all the Ds? Where did they all go?

All CUCVs were 1984 model year specs. K-5 K-10, C-20 C-30 all the same. When ever you order parts, order for a 1984 and you should get the OEM parts Wiper Motor - Front - Remanufactured No rating value average rating value is 0.0 of 5. Read 0 Reviews Same page link. (0) Write a review...

I would be glad to trade my 101A2 with a new camo cover and paint for your 101A3. This way you don't need to swap the tires :sneaky:

Rick, I think you may be losing your "Clout", or maybe your "Reputation" at your truck dealership. They should have come to you first for some simple repair advise before they decided to do a "hack job". These young mechanics now-a-days know it all and don't need us olé-timers anymore.

I'm due for a batterie refresh

I think bad/stuck injectors are causing most if not all of your issues. You mentioned you installed new-remanufactured injectors in an earlier post and your assuming all is good. I bought some rebuilt injectors on ebay a few years back "trying to save some money" and found them to be worse than...

But, "before you pull the trigger", I would confirm that you have a cracked head/s or just need your head gaskets replaced first.

Eastern Surplus has NOS fully dressed. Look under powertrain parts page 53. I bought a pair 5-6 years back and had no issues HM-719 | Cylinder Head 6.2 Liter GM Diesel Engine HMMWV CUCV Chevrolet 6.2 Liter GM Diesel Cylinder Head for HMMWV and CUCV equipped with 6.2 Liter Diesel Engine NSN #...
