I'm looking for a set and wondered if I could expand my search to the dodge m880 if they were the same as the CUCV. Thanks

Depends what you think is lousy highway speed and how much noise is too much. I don't have a problem with either, but I don't think of this vehicle as a touring car either. I think the M1009 blazer often gets confused with the M1008 pickup and the original poster is not clear on this either.

Are you looking at a M1008 or 1009. While related there are major differences. An S10 is of no value that I know of to either.

The CUCV is a well built, easy to work on machine. The fact that they are easy to work on also makes them easy to modify and that is where in my opinion the unreliable reputation comes from. Being in Senegal may give challenges on parts if you don't have reliable mail service to order parts. For...

Sorry I wasn't very clear, my mule is of the M274 gas drinking variety, and it does have a stubborn streak that we are working on. I haven't seen any M1008a1's put back to there intended use and I don't see any on the web either. If I had top bows, I could start putting it together. What...

I'm looking to do the same thing with my m1008a1. I've had mine a very long time, never used it, thought I'd sell it, now I want to find the parts to make it whole again. I need top bows! I'm wondering if they are the same bows used on a M880? Do you cucvmule have pictures of yours? Do you have...

Would the 4 radios be RT524's? Could it have a an/grc 106? There are many plugins in the power box, I'm curious what a typical setup would look like. Thanks to anyone that knows!

I'm hoping to find out how the M1008a1 was used as a communication rig. Could it have 2 operators? Would it make any sense to have duplicate radios? Did it often pull a generator? Would it have been used for long range transmissions? I haven't found any restored examples yet. I understand it...

The last M1009 I sold 3 years ago I put on CR for $1800. It was nice and original, no rust, low miles and I only got 1 call after a week, he bought it but crawled all over it for an hour looking for something wrong. There wasn't, it didn't even leak a drop. If I didn't price it so cheap maybe it...

I have a M1009 that was used as a radio truck and like a similar post I have with a M1008a I would like to know what typically was in it. I read that there was a TM for a M1009 radio setup that would give me a list of what was required and how it was installed. If anyone has that TM or knows...

What would typically be installed if the rack was full? I think my truck would have had more since it had 4 antennas. Most of the radios I have are older and rack mounted, but I do have some RT524 and an/grc-106 radios. I'm not a radio guy except that the look military radios give a military...

I was thinking there was more to the kit. I got my truck from Ft Lewis with those items, troop seats and an antenna mount at each bed corner. I've been thinking of completing the truck as a M1008a1, but I'm not sure what that should be. I was thinking there should be a cargo cover. Seems like...

I would like to find out what the kit contained. There must have been a TM for it. Has anyone restored one of these M1008a1 to be the truck they were designed to be with the kit? Thanks

I read the same thing about the extended life coolants that they will cause leaks in our engines. I also read that fleetcharge is a reasonably priced coolant, but pencool 3000 or powercool 3000 is what dd approves but that is crazy expensive stuff. I need to test mine.

What antifreeze did the military run? Did they add SCA's? Mine is green and I'm ordering test strips to try and find out what is in there. Since they ran 15-40wt engine oil in the engine and transmission, I worry that the coolant may not be DD spec. Have any of you HEMTT owners changed your...

The other thing is the truck has less than 7500 miles on it, which I believe is from the last rebuild. It had new batteries put in that have a charged on date of sept 2010. This makes me think that date may have been the rebuild date. I know the truck was not run or moved for a year at least...

I'm hoping that a good long drive will help. This transmission is not slipping in the sense that the engine speed increases but the road speed does not in the same gear. I have had turbo 400's do that at the end of their life, before rebuild. This one gives the extra shift up and down and locks...

Update... We(my son and I) did the drain and fill. It was a little more than 8 gallons that came out. We added 8 gallons to get in the cold range. The transmission had an annoying habit of shifting up to the next gear then immediately shifting back down before shifting back up. It did this...

I'm going to go back and thank everyone that has tried to help me with this decision. One good thing is I've learned quite a bit about oil, about approved oil, and it surprises me that these ratings and specs change, but what is printed on the label may not, making the value of these ratings...

One thing that has been pointed out to me is the clutch plates are saturated with 15/40. How does that work with a switch to TES295? That seems to be a major concern. That leads to the next question. How do the 2 oils mix? How well do they mix in that small area between the plates? I think that...
