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

    Installed new starter One on truck was turning slower and slower. Starter has been on truck since I bought it from GP and it was new(ish). Replaced solenoid when first got truck. Been great. Thought it was battery’s at first, but the Hawkers tested and load tested just fine. Both...

    Air compressor quit on my M932A2

    Been covered many times. Do a search and also read the TMs. Plenty of info.

    I think I got lucky buying a Mep803A form auction!

    If you have room, I would hold onto it for a bit. You might find a need for it later. Those are very strong and versatile trailers and very well built. Surge brakes are great when properly maintained. Prices are creeping up and availability going down. You could always sell the HMMWV...

    Trailer for the new M998 HMMWV

    SS member AntennaClimber did a camper build with a M101A2. The best camper build I’ve seen. Look up his posts and see the pics. Extremely cool trailer and design.

    Extra bolts

    Reminds me of the cheesy movie “Doc Hollywood” with Michael J. Fox. The mechanic would say “every time I repair/rebuild something, I have extra parts left over.........I don’t know why”. Something to that effect anyway. Made me laugh.

    Yes they are 12v. I think most everyone knew I meant the resistor bypass would not be done.

    I will get a set of those after the holidays. A winter front for the 5 ton also. Hope the seat covers hold up as good as they look.

    It’s getting colder so I finally ordered a new CUCV winter front. http://www.jatonkam35s.com/cucvwinterfront.htm Will definitely look better than the cardboard I’ve been using.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2017 - November VOTE HERE!

    Worthy causes indeed! Except I’m not voting for a cause. I’m voting for a vehicle of the month. Time, money, love and lots of hard, very hard work that went into them. This isn’t a contest of the best cause. It’s about the truck. Of course I agree 100% in the organizations his truck...

    Are you intentionally trying to make this thread hard to read?

    Nasty brake fluid

    I assumed it would be same part number(s) for the K30, but wanted to be sure before ordering. They are. Good tip about the lube after use. Thanks

    What exactly was done with this MSE modification? M101A2

    It’s identical to my other M101A2, with the exception of the racks that were bolted to the sides and floor.

    Nasty brake fluid

    What Russell part number did you use? They do not list a K30 on their website. Just a K10/20

    Just a quick glow plug light question

    Buy two if you can. Keep one for spare.

    M1102 cover question: roof support dimensions

    I have seen the panels often on eBay. Fyi.

    M1101 vs. M1102?

    You don’t lock those out. The brakes are FreeBack style. Meaning that you can backup a loaded trailer and the brakes will not engage. Hence the lack of a lockout pin hole. Dexter makes them and complete new brake assembly’s are available for the M101A2. Direct bolt on and no modification...

    Very happy with the GM light. Cord is 5 feet long and will reach past opposite fender. So changing tires at night or working up front, no more holding flashlights. I had totally forgotten about these lights until I saw it at the salvage yard. Think I will get another one or two and install...
