    quick question m1008 rims.. 16 or 16.5?

    Hello! I'm looking for a set of 16.5 rims for my cucv. I have a set of new Goodyear wrangler MT OZ 37" tires to mount and would like a set of steelys. I do have a set of humvee rims but they have the old 36" bias ply type on them. Getting the 2 inch spacers are expensive to make the humvee rims...

    Help!! Cucv will not start

    Do you have your dash lights and such when the key is turned to on position? because if not, I would check that fuseable link on the fire wall that is a red wire from the battery that turns to blue then to a 2 pole block deal on the fire wall. That would supply the 12V to the cab. My crapped...

    Engine Heaters

    Thanksgiving Day I installed a Zerostart 1000 watt part number 3100059. :grin: in my M1028. Driverside center plug 6 or 12 O'clock position. Wasn't that bad of a job. Took 5min to install and run the cord to the front. But a couple of hours to get the dam frost plug out. I was trying to be nice...

    ARRGGGGGHHHHHH! Tire frustration!

    Just a quick story. I purchased a M1028 earlier this summer. Bought it from the west coast. I wanted a rust free truck. I live in NY. So I bought it with the trust of another member ( in which I won't say) stating that the tires were NEW!!. So I get the truck give a quick look over and park it...

    tires for stock rims

    I just picked up 4 new 37" Humvee radials. I've got the older style bias ply 36" on the Humvee wheels now and want to dismount and remount the new ones on those rims. They have the bead locks and run flats. Don't think I'll be putting the run flats back in though. So I guess I'll be in the same...

    convert M1010 electical to 12V details

    Ok my truck sat for a week. Its been pretty cold. The average temp for the week was 23.7 degrees and an average wind of 5-10 mph. I checked voltage first. Front bat was 12.45V and the rear was 12.45V Both equal. Glow plugs stayed on for 18 seconds. Then turned key and the truck turned over...

    Sweet deal Tourdog. I will consider that when the time comes. I've got my M1028 going good now. As you have probably read on earlier. I guess I started this mess last Sat or Sun. Anyway I finally got to start my truck. I'll post it on the original thread that I started. But if you have the part...

    convert M1010 electical to 12V details

    Hi guys, just an update. Truck has been sitting out in the yard since Saturday. This Sat I will take a voltage reading of both batteries and then attempt to start the truck on the first cycling of the glow plugs. (2 times is probably more like it) Now keep in mind it hasn't been over 25 degrees...

    Slave cables....

    Just a guess, if you place a heavy duty battery (on/off) switch in line on the front pos battery cable going to rear battery neg? Will that then leave 12V going out the slave connector?

    convert M1010 electical to 12V details

    OK!! I grabbed my copy of the TB 43-0001-39-8 M1010 retrofit. went through it and just wanted to make sure it was done as described. One thing out of it that I noticed was the potentiometer was NOT turned all the way CCW. I then moved to the regulators on each altenator and adjusted those with a...

    convert M1010 electical to 12V details

    I had removed each voltage regulator from the altenators. They are set differently. see pics. where should the settings be at. The bottom one is the high one (all the way to the left) and the top alt is in the middle. (straight up and down). This does have the red wire to the rear and the orange...
