    Fl Title & Tag Trouble

    I posted a link to 320.086. Nowhere does it state what you are saying. Show me in Florida Statutes where it says that and I'll donate $100 to your favorite charity. The statute reads nothing of the such.

    Fl Title & Tag Trouble

    Lots of dung in this thread. Firstly, you can register any of the FMVs in FL with a regular tag. Its a class 41 tag and you claim the weight and pay the appropriate fees. If you chose to register it as a former military vehicle, the state can request verification. FSS 320.086 is quite clear...

    Military Tail Lights

    If you purchase LEDs, they are mostly omnivolt. You can either bolt them right to the sheetmetal or sink them in hmmwv light buckets.

    Cucv m1010 resistors check and replace / bypass?

    After dealing with CUCVs for a little while, I will offer this advice. There is no scientific or technical info to back this, just my personal observations. When any of my CUCVs fail to start from a low battery(s), the first thing I check is the voltage of the batteries. If both batts are...

    Transmission issue

    There is also a 3052 which is a direct drive. They look the same. Odds of finding a 3052 are much smaller than a 3053A.

    New to me m59 dump truck...

    Hndrsonj found several tanks a few years back. I bought one for my M59 project that I ended up selling to him. He may know if there are any floating around.

    New to me m59 dump truck...

    Much along the same route as I did with my M108. I too, used a single towbar leg to move the M108 back and forth. Question, what are your plans for fuel delivery? On my M108 is was easy, swap tanks. The drivers side tanks aren't as easy a find.

    Rear Brake Shoes - What size? Two options at NAPA...

    Rear drums are 13x3 1/2. FYI even the dual wheel cab and chassis uses the same shoes but different bor on wheel cylinders. They do all interchange though.

    Best source for 700R4?

    Thanks and this does help. I just want quality trans. Since I have a 241 case available I can save a couple of dollars there. Thanks again.

    Best source for 700R4?

    Would you be willing to share an approximate price and was there a core charge? I have several cores waiting for me to act.

    Cucv m1010 resistors check and replace / bypass?

    This is how I do mine. Works great.

    Transmission issue

    The last one I freed up for a friend was sitting in his driveway on an incline. I had to pull my truck up to his to relieve the weight of the truck off the gears. Once that happened, it was easy.

    Transmission issue

    Make sure there is no tension on the driveline. I always jack up the tandem on one side to insure there is no bind then pop it loose. Several times I've been able to shake them loose with the shifter as long as the driveline bind is removed.

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

    They usually hold up pretty good until all the things that aren't bolted down start pelting it. As they weaken the structure it becomes vulnerable. During hurricane Francis, there were a bunch that got destroyed and a few that looked new

    Worth the upgrade to MEP 003a from 002a?

    My 2 cents would be to add a smaller inverter genset as a supplement. It's quiet and can run all night on a sip of gas. Good for fridges and such.

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

    Just grind a slot down the axle shaft, it will look very clean when finished.

    #32 M1008 Project time again at Zouts

    Couple of ways to keep that wet look. Spray it with WD40, Johnsons baby oil or the like. I prefer gear oil as it has a manly smell about it.

    Sure has a lot of hitches on it.
