    Power steering and brake noise

    Not trying to hijack, but my pump whines all the time. Steering seems okay ,but brake pedal/braking is weak? Pump or hydroboost?

    HMMWV questions

    If I am correct a 998 4 man truck weighs in at 5200 lbs. with a 6.2/auto set up. I am assuming the 6BT/NV4500 will add 400 lbs., add some bumpers/ add ons / etc... and maybe a 6000 lb. rig . Add 10,000 lbs. for a total of 16000 lbs. Also, this is an occasional load (like maybe 4 times a year for...

    HMMWV questions

    That is some good info. I am hoping someone else in this forum has actually done some towing with theirs. I am new to studying these things, but was wondering about getting the heavy rear springs they use on something like an ambulance version? I have no doubt the brakes are a little under...

    HMMWV questions

    I am thinking about brokering a deal for a HMMMV frame/suspension set. My intent would be a 12 valve 5.9 cummins/NV4500 powered truck very similar to the CC surplus truck that was built last year (already have the motor/trans), but I have a few questions: 1. I see the towing capacity of a M998...

    Lock out on forward rear axle, to prevent drive line bind

    I don't believe this is a mileage improving mod. Driveability is the gain on this one.

    Lock out on forward rear axle, to prevent drive line bind

    If my science is right on this and no damage to be done?? Surely there are a boat load of axles lying around, all the bobbers create 2 per truck.Heck ,I have 2 extra rear ends, plus 2 trucks waiting to be bobbed and I am small time in these things.

    Lock out on forward rear axle, to prevent drive line bind

    What about getting an extra deuce axle, cut off the axle shaft, and bolt the end back on (mainly to seal the axle)?? Then just a few bolts ,and you could put the axle back in? Would seem like a good low cost way of doing this, especially on a truck that doesn't see much off road use. Or , at...

    M101 trailer modification question

    Trailer condition is fair to good,with side boards . I even have a spare wheel/tire. I don't think i want to try to sell it after hearing the replies thus far. If i could trade it for what i want, then i wouldn't swap the axle.

    M101 trailer modification question

    I just picked up an M101 (A1 i think), it has the M37 style wheels/tires. I want the wheels to match 8 lug cucv type. I don't want to have to carry 2 different spares. I have an opportunity to pick up a pair of 8 lug axles from the A2/3 trailer type. Am I ruining a trailer people want? Should I...

    M1008 Axle question

    Belftfed, Granite Falls is about 3.5 hours west of you. I am planning on moving most of the stuff, though. ETA: I bought this collection with an eye on mainly the deuce, m101, shelters, building 1 good cucv. The rest I am hoping to find homes for.

    M1008 Axle question

    I am looking at buying a herd of cucv's, and have a question: What front axle options would be found under the "truck" based cucvs? I am familiar with the dana 60 , but have been told there could be other less desirable front axle assemblies. If it helps, 2 are the standard M1008 type trucks...

    Please do, thanks.

    What are these hubs?

    Cool. I knew that I have never seen any like them. I have AVM hubs for the truck (kept them from selling my other truck). But i have a friend whose truck they will probably go to, can't see them going to waste.

    What are these hubs?

    Why this lift point on this truck ,when there are so many other common lift points? Are they rare?

    What are these hubs?

    I just bought an M46A2c. It has some odd looking hubs. Anybody know what they are for? Looks like some kind of lifting eye, or something?
