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

    I was not. Had 50 in them. Only time I do 65psi is when I have a heavy load in truck or trailer. Then deflate back to 50 once unloaded. Didn’t hit anything on road either. Just Murphys luck saying hello.

    Lift pump question...

    Use a Delphi or ACDELCO part. That pump isn’t fun to change and the cheap one, like you bought, lasted me a whole two weeks. Wanted to get it running ASAP when I first got it home and bought the cheap one. Mistake! I replaced it with an acdelco and it’s been flawless for over two years.

    M105; Questions about my first recovery

    That’s a big, heavy trailer with useless air brakes unless you have a M35/M939 series. Towing is the easy part. Stopping, especially panic stop, is the issue. Ever heard of the tail wagging the dog?

    Can anyone back up a M101?

    Watching the boat ramp action is a lake ritual. Lake Havasu's AZ public boat ramp is a blast to watch. Any busy lake ramp actually. It’s amazing how many people can not backup a trailer or unload/load a boat., or even remove trailer tie down straps before entering water. Forgetting to...

    M1008 help

    When was the last time it ran? What makes you think it’s an injection pump issue? As mentioned above, whatever you bring along with you will not be the problem. There are so many variables and possible causes. You can easily transport a GP controller card, glow plugs, GP relay, fuel...

    M105 on a M1028, has anyone one done that?

    Your M101A2 is worth far more than a M105A2 in equal condition.

    new owner of a m448

    Murphy’s Law: If you trailer it home, the bearings, etc. will be found to be in excellent condition and you could have towed it home no sweat. If you towed it home, a bearing and/or tire would have failed at the worst possible time and leave you scrambling to find parts/tires and having to...

    Uhaul has trailers without sides for hauling cars. Whichever company that has a flat trailer will work. I think it’s smart to trailer it home. Who knows what condition the bearings are in.

    If It was an hour or two away, I might agree. But a 13 hour trip with an unknown trailer......? Very smart to trailer it home.

    Towing With M1008..

    The copper/brass radiator I installed was identical to the old one. Everything hooked up with zero issues. Truck stays nice and cool no matter outside temp. Running a 190* thermostat and original 5 blade fan. Only trailers I tow are the M101A2’s. Usually their not loaded heavy, but...

    CUCV manual glow plug switch install issue

    Sounds easy. I’ll never do it, but good to know wiring doesn’t need hacked up.

    That looks like it will fit on a uhaul trailer just fine. Easy enough to measure rental trailer width and then look up specs for MV trailer.
