    M818 GVWR

    The above also explains why it is so hard for a layman to figure this stuff out. Fifty or so lines of text and the one you are looking for is only one sentence. Try to find this stuff if you are not familiar with it.

    M818 GVWR

    I do not know how the smiles got in the middle. The legal speak must have just matched right up with the smile codes. LOL

    M818 GVWR

    I am sending you the whole thing and I will pick out the section pertaining to the need for a CDL 257.7a “Commercial motor vehicle” defined. Sec. 7a. “Commercial motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver; a motor vehicle, having a...

    M818 GVWR

    Thanks for the comments. I have a PDF version of the state motor vehicle code. It can be downloaded form the SOS site. The one thing I caution is if you read the CDL only stuff it will give you the impression that you need a CDL based on the weights in the manual. What the literature is actual...

    More help on determining year/make for a M818

    Phil I wanted to point out the VIN number you posted above is not really the vin. It is the military reg number at the front and you serial number or vin in the last positions. See the difference in this info from Meds post. Serial Number:C12415055 Registration Number:NL00UY The number in...

    M818 GVWR

    You really have two questions there. For everyone else, this applies to Michigan. First to the CDL issue. As long as you are not being paid by the museum to pick up the stuff you will be fine without the CDL. You may find an unknowledgeable officer that may think otherwise but you would win it...

    The farm plate would restrict him to within 150 miles from his home.

    M818 GVWR

    Paul, Put down the actual weight on the all the paperwork to get the title. You want the title to reflect the actual weight of the truck. Go with the 19500 lbs figure. I would then get a historical plate unless you plan to use it go haul anything but an empty trailer. If you start hauling...

    Gas engine conversion

    The blackout lights are 12 volt. Nothing to change there. When you do the engine swap all the 24 volt stuff should be gone except for the volt gage. I would also wire the 28 volt relay for the starter under the dash to remove it from the system. You can leave it as it sits but it is just...

    Shear Pins do Work!

    Derby, I might have extra parts but I have to go through my winch before I sell the spare one. I will not get to checking the winch out until middle of summer at the soonest. I can drop you a line when I get done to see if you still need it. I might be able to get to it sooner but the daily...

    MFR and Year unknown

    I almost forgot. Welcome to the forum.

    MFR and Year unknown

    Start by finding the vin. Does it have a data plate on the dash? If it does check the serial number it is your vin. There have been articles about decoding the vin for a year. The manufacturer should be on the plate also unless it was a depot rebuild. I am not sure of the location of the vin on...

    Front differential additive?

    I think you mean the limited slip additive. If you have a limited slip in the front then you need it. A lot of premium gear lube already contains the additive. Check the bottle to be sure.

    Genset ground rod

    Mine has a weight that acts as a slide hammer on the upper portion. It drives them and it pulls them out. I will try to post some pics. A field mod for sure but it came with my genset trailer direct from the military.

    Genset ground rod

    I have a set that come with my trailer and it had a sliding weight attached for driving and pulling the rod. I also see complete sets on ebay from time to time. I regularly do searches for military generators.

    CUCV Recovery Story

    I have know Paul for a couple of years now. He does great work on all his vehicles. You really got a good truck. Award winning in fact. I think it was the Silver Lake show where the cucv took home a trophy. I can't remember the exact title but it was due to his attention to detail on the truck...

    LDT question

    Re: RE: LDT question The glow plug set up must be aftermarket and it should not be needed until it gets well below freezing. The cucvs need glow plugs to start even when it is 70 F or so.
