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

    Comparing the reviews I've read, the Duratrac is a better snow and wet road tire. Lots of folks in the plow forums use them. I ran 255s dualed on an 86 K30 I owned. There were the BFG mud terrains of the 80s. They worked fine and no rubbing. No spacers were used. I've not used them with a...

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

    These are 235s and they are a little close. Going to have to run 80psi to keep them that way. I originally wanted 255s and was going with the BFG Mud Terrains like I have on my ambulance but the reviews on these was stellar. Since we have snow here in tge mountains, I wanted at least one...

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

    Well, despite the fact that the truck has lost all oil pressure, that didn't stop me from finally getting 4 new Duratracs for the back. Now if only I could get my butt in gear and get the pan off and oil pump replaced, I would be good.

    Hello from Mississippi

    Welcome aboard. You are likely looking at kingpin bushings and springs to correct the death wobble. Tail light issues eh? A good guess would be socket issues. Replacements are cheap and plentiful.

    best way to level 1986 m1009

    Thanks Rick. My truck is down with no oil pressure right now but it didn't stop my from putting on the 4 new Duratracs on the back. Honestly, I had never seen this tire until you mentioned it. After looking into them, the reviews were incredible. Now that I live where snow is probable each year...

    New to me 1985 M1009 CUCV

    If you plan on doing a fluid change and since the dash has been changed with unknown function, I would add a cheap 3 gauge combo while fluids are down. You really need to know whats going on as much as possible. Figuring out all the stuff you have now will be a crapshoot at best. I always take...

    How to advance odometer?

    Odometer tickling is about a lost art/skill/crime.

    That's just ridiculous. A simple brake job would only require all hydraulic components, new hubs, rotors and drums, new gearsets and master axle rebuild kit, lockout hubs, wheelbearings and new tires with a 2017 build code.

    6.2 diesel to 454 big block gas burner swap.

    Bonus, oil cooler adapter. Did the coach have hydroboost brakes?

    M1010 DUVAC Removal Plan "B"

    Mine is mentioned on here. Its the one with both alts replaced with 12V Leece Nevilles. It has worked flawlessly for years.

    12 volt or 24 volt

    You can move that wire a few inches under the hood and have either.

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    Wow JPG. Hang tough brother, we (I) will pray for a speedy recovery. Ray, the 350 is an option too. A nice TBI motor sounds appealing. Sadly, I have a 96 burb in S FL that has a Gen V 454 MFI and the 4L80E. That swap appeals to me but instead, I'm selling it in place and likely very cheap. Dang

    Well, that is the art work a member submitted and cafe press was the vendor Chris chose.

    Ok I'm sick of this ...

    It is what it is. You bought an off road only vehicle. Getting a road legal for these is not a permitted discussion here on Steel Soldiers.
