So, my friend has a GPW and he says it looses power after reaching operating temperature. My first thought was vapor lock or possibly a vacuum leak from a warped something from the heat. Anyone experience this?

Your welcome. Anyway, I'm going to go with one that has a ball for a civi trailer hitch.

The previous owner parked it in the street under a tree. 🙄

Ok, I just bought a used(?) lever and swapped them out. The old one work if it’s upside down?!

So I got motivated and sanded all the bird shit birds in the paint on my M38A1. Then I touched up the finders and body with some Gillespie OD-2430 rattle can paint from Army Jeep Parts. The hood was a little too big to spot paint so I busted out the airless, got some acetone to reduce the can of...

You still have the pintle hitch? I’ll take it off your hands for my M38A1 if you don’t need it.

remove the over size amber front marker lights and installed 12 volt blackout markers and a 12 volt blackout driving light. Waiting on some Packard connectors to show up and I’ll wire them all up to the parking light post on the push pull light switch, someone else installed.

Thanks for sharing that they batch with acetone. I'm in Calif. and I have a gallon of alkyd enamel that I would like to spray, but you can't get xylene anywhere around here. It looks like acetone will work. The can clearly states not to use turpentine, Naptha or mineral sprits.

I find this works really well :LOL:

We may be talking pineapples and oranges. I’m working with 12 volt aftermarket gauges that like correct, but don’t have the windows for the panel lights. Dumb a**s me tossed the 65’ish instruments when I got the new stuff and shit still doesn’t work.

Well at least yours reads something. Mike barely moves past “E”.

You say regrounded. Did you have to find a good ground for the gauge? I have the seeding unit grounded to the tub with an extra wire and gauge to dash.

Has anyone had an issue with the parking brake lever release button not returning to ready position? If so, did you rebuild the lever, or is it a remove and replace fix?

Thank you

Wow! I din't even realize they are Mutt wheels. Must be easy to come by. And yes I agree the roll bar is much to civilian. Thanks

Here is my recently acquired M38A1. It’s missing a few parts, but that’s why we buy projects, right? As you can see I’m a Jeep guy.

Ok, I did the search thing and came up empty. I just got an M38A1 that was converted to a 12 volt electrical system. The headlights and front marker lights will not come on, even though they worked when I bought it. Lights are controlled by a simple two position push/pull switch and im thinking...

Under the CUCV TM section there is a technical manual for the mini pumper. I’ve never seen an Army mini pumper. I'm sure Yorba Linda is quite crowded compared to when you were here. Still a nice part of California.

I see a TM for a 250 gallon mini-pumper fire truck. HAs anyone actually seen one of these, and if so, have they ever been for sale?

We had one at El Toro in our crash crew section. It was just an M1028 with a Twi Agent Unit slipped in the back, see: https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Industrial-and-Construction-Supplies-Fire-Combat-Fire-Suppression-System-California/13271084?h=5000%2Ct%7C10106&rr=0.5&hitprm=&pnLink=yes
