Dunno where you're going, but it sounds like you need to go to a better parts store! Napa or Carquest are my go-to places. Vatozone is not my vibe at all...I need guys behind the counter that don't ask if it's 4wd for lightbulbs. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Pull your flasher out of the fuse block. Take it in the store and show the parts guy. Tell him "I need an LED compatible one of these". Throw the old one away after you verify the new one works. Viola! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I second this motion! There's enough around that you could have it traded in a few months. For the love of God, don't cut it apart. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Congrats on the new ride, and welcome to the community! 1) Go into the SS library and download all the applicable TM PDFs. This will help in the wrenching shenanagains, and also give light to the unique stuff added by the military. 2) It's just an old Chevy pickup with some extra lights, a...

They're available practically everywhere! Any off-road catalog will have sources a-plenty...Brother's, Classic Industries, LMC, etc. It's just a Squarebody with some NATO stuff added to make it play well with others, so use the year/make/model of its civvy counterpart to find the goods...

Hopkins makes a "T" connector for the factory civvy wiring, 100% plug and play for "4-flat" trailer lights. There's a double stud device on the engine side of the firewall: large gauge and fuse from there along the frame to the rear. Going direct to the battery is optional. Power for brake...

There's a tale as old as time. If it doesn't move and it should: WD-40...if it moves and it shouldn't: Duct Tape. You need some lubricant in your life. The purists will tell you to use what's in the TM, the rest of us play with whatever is handy till ya find your favorite. Next time ya have the...

@kloppk I dig the upgraded diagram. Where did these come from? Are there more for the rest of the set? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Rick, I've seen them on civvy Squares a plenty...what is that gizmo there for since the wire reaches fine without it? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Google says Deoxit D5 is for switches/contacts. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I would start with a can of Deoxit to the internals of every rotary switch on and behind the control panel, exercise the switch liberally between doses of spray...batteries disconnected of course. You should feel a notavle difference of internal friction before & after. It's absolute magic sauce...

I'm a big fan of avoiding the parts Cannon at all costs. Pictures and videos help a bunch when asking for assistance in troubleshooting. You may want to bench test the items or utilize the TM troubleshooting guides before throwing random parts at a machine even if it seems obvious. Sent from...

It's just an old Chevy pickup with some extra lights, a weird charging system, and no A/C. 98% of it is just an 84 Diesel SRW K30. If NAPA/Carquest/Rock Auto don't have it...then go restoration parts companies like LMC, Tuckers, Classic Industries, Classic Parts, NPD, LS Fab, USA1, YearOne...

So much cool in one shot, nicely done! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I'm very interested in your winch mount! Would you please elaborate on what you have there? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

May I suggest you begin your tech data conquest by downloading all the available TM PDFs to one folder on your computer. Next, go thru them one at a time with someone who is more mechanically inclined or that has previous experience with military maintenance manuals. Once you know what each...

My 802/116A3 had the same bracket system. Best of my knowledge, they were Comm support power units. I was told the two sets of clam shells carried a portable mast, and the front triangles carried a spool of cable. Never learned of any tech data to support/confirm, so I'm interested to learn...

Call them and thell them you have an 84 Chevrolet K30 with the 6.2L Diesel and TH400 trans. If you tell them you have a CUCV it's just gonna confuse them. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I've long been a fan of Champion radiators. Used multiple in various Squarebody and GMT800 trucks. Support is fantastic! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

What's the actual intended purpose of those clips anyways?? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
