Related to the locker. Has anyone ever heard a fairly loud pop from the diff while making a slow turn? Every now and then mine will do this and I am thinking it is something in the locker that is binding up.
Still gathering parts to install an aux fuel tank on the passenger side of my M1031. I was able to pick up a correct filler neck thanks to blckdblnckl but still looking for the flange that is used to mount the filler neck to the body panel of the truck. It is the part in the pic that has four...
Yes very nice looking truck. Looks like the twin to mine...only better :). This one even has a lot of the original equipment in the maintenance body. I sure wish I had that vice. Guess I'll keep looking.
While many of the systems mentioned are electrical can they really be called electronic? Here's what I mean. Most electronic systems, as I understand them, are defined as those systems that utilize integrated circuitry running on very low voltage. In many cases these electronic systems function...
Kenny,
Here is a trailblazer I just found on CL using crazedlist. It is an older post but it might still be there. Let me know specifics of what you want and I'll keep my eyes open.
Welder
Hey Kenny have you ever used a site called crazedlist.org for searching craigslist? Crazedlist lets you search multiple craigslist regions at one time. Very cool. I used it to find the genny I just purchased. Might help in that search for the trailblazer. Hey is the trailblazer a stick or wire...
Well after searching for several weeks I have finally found a "new" diesel genset for my 1031. This week located an Guardian 75D 7.5 KW liquid cooled unit that is normally used on high end coaches and over the road rigs. I think it is going to work out very well for my needs. It will take up...
Hey ak welcome to the site. I live just south of you on Marco. I don't have a deuce now but did have an M35A2 several years ago. Right now I have an M1031 that I am setting up as a mobile shop truck. Drop me a line if you want to talk green stuff some time.
I have started my search for 16.5 rims. Have found a set of steel wheels that look like a good fit. I also found a set of aluminum 16.5 rims as well at a very good price. Here is the question, would aluminum rims be strong enough? I think the weight savings would be good and saving a few $$$...
I have been thinking along the same lines. I have been watching CL for some good 16.5 steel wheels myself. Not sure if this has been posted but what is the best width to use when running the HMMWV radials?
Thanks very much for the info. It is interesting that the NSN is for a 1031 but the registration shows that it was an 1008. The registration # is from the same tag as the VIN and NSN and the tag looks unmolested. Is it possible it is a typo in the system? As far as I can tell the truck is a...

I have found some 6 to 7KW diesel gennys in the $1000 to $2000 range and it looks like I can slide one in on the old rails for the hobart. The new one will be electric start and parts are readily available. If you needed 12KW then maybe the PTO is the way to go but along with the complexity of...
kapnklug thanks for the info. I am looking at putting this in my M1031 with the SECM body on it so I will have to fab the filler in somehow. I guess the most important thing to know was if it even fit. Now that I know it will it is a matter of getting all of the pieces and putting it together...
Hey Kenny I know what you mean about projects taking forever. I had picked up an old kohler genset to put in my truck. I got it in and bolted down but never finished wiring it up. The more I thought about it the more I wanted to have the genny on the same fuel as the truck. So out came the...
Thanks for the info guys. I think its time to start looking for a good tank. Craigslist here I come:-) Oh hey anyone here in FL have a tank that would work...with mounting brackets?
I decided to go with an upright compressor in the forward right compartment where the tanks were for the torch. I also cleaned all of the miscellaneous brackets and hardware out from the inside of the main box. I plan on keeping all of my tools in the outer boxes. As for the generator I pulled...
