    Steering Gear Box

    Nothing real special . Torque wrench, snap ring pliers, spanner wrench, drift to knock out bearing, etc. Google Sagnaw 800 rebuild. You will find plenty of info on how it's done. Make sure you follow the directions step by step so it will turn the same amount both directions when done. If...

    Steering Gear Box

    Mine was leaking from the input seal. I got a rebuild kit from rock auto for $19. Gates PN 350440.. It's just a Saganaw box like the ones GM used for decades. It came with everything, even bearings. There are instructions online on how to do it. It took me about 3 hours start to finish.

    6.2/6.5l Turbo kits

    Why not just use a Paxton super charger? There is all the room in the world on the passenger side to mount it. Two longer belts to go around the power steering pump and some piping to the intake. Then you can leave the stock exhaust alone and get your 7 to 9 PSI of boost for half the cost and...

    That's pretty cool. I've never seen one of those before. Could you post some pics of yours since it's out of the truck?

    Front winch setups

    Agreed Kenny. I'm looking at a 24V 9000# Ramsey. I'll keep a snatch block in the truck just incase. But I am surprised at the extra cost for 24Volt models. It looks like It is cheaper to get a 12V and replace the motor and solenoid. I have a hydro Humvee winch that I'm considering removing...

    Crossovers

    Sort of. You will need to modify or replace the throttle cable bracket on the injector pump. There are brackets out there. I think Kennedy Diesel still carries them. Also you will might have a clearance problem with the rad hose going around the alt. You can use the OEM hose from the civ truck...

    Where can I steal oil flow and pressure from on a 6.2 block?

    The later model 6.2's also had the plug on the front end of the block between the head and the timing chain housing. This is where the Marine 6.2s and the truck GM 6.5s get their turbo oil supply. This is the best place to get a oil supply from. Because the port is AFTER the cam bearings get...

    Front winch setups

    I was hoping for pics and ideas for front winches on a CUCV. Any electric , hydro, or pto drivin. In the 80's I had a PTO on a 77 K20 so I know they are out there. I too would like to go behind the bumper. I am hoping to keep as much of a approach angle as possible. I have a few hills to...

    Front winch setups

    I was hoping folks would post pics of your front winch mounts. Along with any commentary about what works and what doesn't. Hydro, electric, and PTO.

    Dually Conversion (For looks)

    I too have a winch Id love to mount on the truck. I have a mount that slides into the frame extentions but it sticks out too far and kills my approach angle.

    Dually Conversion (For looks)

    Did you have to modify the bumper and of grill guard?

    Dually Conversion (For looks)

    SSDVC, The winch mount was through DIY 4x4. John, Is that the A-BOMB winch mount?

    Starter options?

    Won't the side mounted Humvee solenoid hit the cucv frame? The stud for the front brace on the Humvee starter mounts the motor mount. The CUCV starter attaches to a small brace that mounts to the block. Isn't the stud location for these in a different location? Isn't the brace also different...

    Best mechanical transfer case with 2WD option for HMMWV

    Here is something to consider. If you install a 2WD capable transfer case you will still have the front axle and hubs turning. There is no lockout hub or central axle disconnect for the Humvee or H1. Because the same componets will continue to turn just as the are now, you will not see any...
