    M101a3 trailer build

    Looks a little familiar. I have the same topper on my M101A3. Only pic I can find.

    CUCV 6.2 K5 Trailer wiring?

    Confirmed, the trailer wiring is 12V but the slave plug on the front is 24. The wires on the passenger side of the back seat should be 24V as well.

    Vaccum pump for 6.2l

    Wow, I guess I've not bought one for a while. Several years back I had one let go and spew oil going to the FL Rally. NAPA in Clermont FL had 3 on the shelf.

    Vaccum pump for 6.2l

    Why fool with all these plans when new mfr is available almost anywhere. Here is a link (hopefully) to one at NAPA. I wouldn't waste my time with NOS. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NVP641201

    Vaccum pump for 6.2l

    NAPA has new mfr ones. Any mid 80s 6.2 will have one.

    New engine for the V100 - inspired by OSMW

    That would be wicked. Red key fob and all.

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

    I had my M1010 trucked up to GA in March of last year. Today I drove it to pick up my son from football. Was gone about 90 minutes. That is the longest it has been out of the yard since delivered. I have not put any fuel in it since it was in FL. Today I filled it up, that's what I did to my...

    Changing the rear springs on my M1031

    I think that is my best approach. Thanks.

    Slave Receptacle Question

    Well, for an 84, it would not have had one. NATO has been the standard since late 70s to early 80s.

    Changing the rear springs on my M1031

    The 22-617HD part number has popped up before as a Dayton number. I can't recall the exact conversation but it was inferred that there is a chinese equivalent of the same PN that is inferior. I need to do springs on my V30 but fear getting a copy of the 22-617HD.

    Stuarts had twin caddy V8s.

    So I bought me a Inclinometer

    I managed to get 2 for $35 shipped. The other seller was offering them at $20 plus $8.65 shipping.

    CUCV DH478 Toro-Flow swap

    I believe they are loosely based off the 305-478 gas engines. Sounds interesting enough. I would venture to say that 1200# or better might require spring work in the front.

    So I bought me a Inclinometer

    Bill always comes up with cool stuff like the dash mount MRE bag heater plug. That's a cool thing to have.

    6.2 vs 6.5 tug of war

    My opinion of tug o wars isn't good. Seems like kids trying to compensate for a lack in other departments. Huge stacks fall into the same category. It saddens me to see former military trucks used in this manner but alas, it's the owners perogative.

    Best way to lift on a budget

    Consider a 33x10.50 as an option. Lift not required. The add a leaf will add a rougher ride too. Zero rate blocks will give you an extra inch if needed. DIY4X has a similar product under a different name

    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 18-22, 2017

    A word or 50 from the RT. Aside from getting a late start due to electicty issues, all went well. For all the folks whom I've forgotten your name for the 4th or 5th year, I'm sorry. Retired life is rough. A special thanks to all the folks who helped out at my AO. Pat, Gunnermac, Marty, PJ and...

    CUCV 24 to 12 volt conversion mess

    The alternator doesn't know which side of the truck it's on. It just doesn't matter. If going to a straight 12V system, iso or non iso alt makes no difference. If it is iso ground, make certain that you ground that stud.
