    M1031, $7400.00!

    One of my cucvs ran with a little work and needed no EUC. A couple of months later I got a junker with no axles and a bent frame and body panels. It required an EUC. Both were M1009. I have gotten another M1009 that ran with charged batteries and it needed an EUC. I think they decision on the...

    GL Trouble

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: GL Troub I can confirm that even scrap vehicles would need a title. The only way around it is for them to cut the thing up like mutts. Then it becomes scrap metal. They could call the vehicles scrap but until they cut them up they would still...

    Drive shaft parts

    You should also let us know what cucv you have as the M1009 drive train parts do not always cross to the other models.

    1979 5-ton - on demand 4-wheel drive

    I have heard that the air system can get gummed up. You may want to take the shifter out and clean it. If that does not help then you should clean the engagement cylinder in the T-case. Either way you need the manuals from the Tech section so you don't accidentally mess something up. Again, I...

    Got to drive my first 5 ton

    Oilcan, Are you going back anytime soon? I need my M818 checked out to see if she is a runner. I hope to come get her the first week of April. Let me know if you can help. Kipman said he would help me out but if you are going to be there anyway there would be no point to him making a...

    EUC End User Certificate

    Even though the paperwork makes it look like the government only got a fraction of the price that is not how it really works. There is a post about it with calculations but I am pretty sure the $82 figure is what GL makes plus the 10% and the money they charge for the SF-97. Do a search and you...

    Help! Can't start New Deuce!

    If it did run and you just need to get it moved pull starting might work out. They will push start and run with no power at all so you should be a good candidate for a pull start. Just be very careful.

    Help! Can't start New Deuce!

    Replace those battery terminals with Military ones. I don't know if that is your problem but the marine terminal style don't make as good a contact as the GI ones. Replace the dog bone. The clamp type terminals are not ideal and the cable looks small compared to the actual GI cable. Nice truck...

    1979 5-ton - on demand 4-wheel drive

    I could try to help you but I am new to the five ton system and someone else straightened me out a month or so ago. I am still waiting for my EUC to clear on my five ton. Some of the other guys who have taken the system apart can probably help you better. To get the ball rolling, what are your...

    1979 5-ton - on demand 4-wheel drive

    The front axle will engage when the rear is slipping while in all the forward gears. When you put it in reverse the air shifting mechanism engages the rear traveling sprag. When you shift back into neutral the airshift mechanism puts the transfer case back to the forward traveling sprag. You...

    rust remval bath

    They did the same process on Hotrod or Trucks on Spike TV. It only took a few hours to transform the rust.

    Pyrometers

    Or you could just order 24 volt equivalent bulbs. There is a cross reference in the Technical Articles section and the bulbs are cheap. I ordered some with extras for my gauges and the total was $16 with shipping for 10 bulb total.

    Battery Charging

    I broke down and got a 24 volt charger on ebay. Harbor freight had them for about $50 but I have about $25 into mine and it also works double duty as a 24 volt power supply. It has a 24 volt output and a 28 volt output for charging a standby battery. You could use it but I would just spend a...

    3 Color Camo Painting Advice Needed

    I wanted to add that they eyeball it a lot. I have only painted a few so the overhead helps me keep it close. The tape helps keep track of the pattern but you should use it as a guide and not paint all the way to the tape. You should be able to see the over spray at the edge of the color.
