    Cucv 105a2

    The M101A2/A3 was designed for the M1008/28. Surge brakes are great when maintained and is the perfect size and load for the truck. Their kinda scarce at auction now but plenty still out there privately. IMHO it’s the best trailer the military ever made. I use mine almost every day. Yes...

    smoke from steering column after new 2057 bulb in front right side

    When I was hunting down a horn issue, it turned out to be a short in the turn signal cluster. Theres a lot going on in such a small space. I would dive into column and see if anything obvious was source of smoke. Smoke rises, so the source could actually be lower in the column and just found...

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

    If it works with no damage to new injector, doesn’t matter the brand. I wasn’t even looking for snap-on, just looking for a good deal and lucked out. Didn’t even know they made one until I saw them listed. I do have some OTC spindle nut sockets. They are nice and well made. Wouldn’t...

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Finally!!! It’s at it permanent home. All new tires installed. I put reflective tape on the back to make it legal before driving on RT66 Towed it about 7.5 miles and 4 was dirt roads. Towed great on pavement up to 25 mph. Didn’t dare go faster. Went very slow on dirt road since it was still...

    Buying New Injectors. Delphi or Bosch?

    Just an update. Truck is still running beautifully. No issues or leaks. Fuel mileage has improved along with the other benefits already noted. So much quieter at 55. Makes a fun Truck even more so when you can hear yourself think. If your on the fence about a new set, they are well worth...

    It’s been about two weeks since I installed my new Delphi injectors and hose kit. Bought from same place. Truck is running beautifully!! I bought the snap-on injector socket and it worked perfect. Wish I would have changed them as soon as I bought the truck.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    All the tires finally showed up. Took a while. Just replaced the torn tire today since I ran out of time. Rest will be done tomorrow. Posted part numbers and info about the rims since I had them apart.

    S-280 Shelter Door Pics Requested

    Just before it was moved to final location and hooked up. The missing hold down on the door vent was installed right after this pic was taken. The small a/c that I installed did a great job of keeping it cool. Big Thanks to SS member CUCVRUS my door was restored back to its original glory...

    headlight and horn, M1009 advice needed

    Your doing it right! Tackle one thing at a time and do it right the first time. As for the fuel hose under the manifold, I can’t answer that. Mine had been replaced by the Military shortly before I bought Truck.

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

    I’m not exactly sure. Unless there was a small crack that I didn’t see when I first got Truck. Small crack was made bigger by engine vibration. Gasket is used between manifold and filter housing and wingnuts always tight. I did just replace all the injectors, which smoothed out the idle...
