Nobody has run into a problem like this before??? Or as usualy am I just the lucky one? lol Lets just say take out the twin stick part and go with "NP205 pops out of gear". I've been inside a a NP203 before differnet animal and that was over 15 years ago so my skills and knowledge are a little...

Thanks Porkysplace, thats why I havent taken it off yet. Not getting those teeth shimmed right scares me. Has anybody had any problems with a low mileage NP205 poping out of the front axle? I've ordered a couple new springs and detent balls hoping thats the easy fix, doubt it. I can't find much...

Like the title says, I twin sticked my NP205, scared of grinding the rails too much and allowing it to shift into Front High and Rear Low or vise versa I bought a set of rails from JKW Offroad. Quailty of the grinds looked good and while I was switching from the NP208 my truck came with we...

Well I'm going to post this, not as a "I was right you were wrong post", but more of a learning post which is what this site is all about. I am putting this in the M715 forum in this thread in case someone is planning on doing a 6.2 conversion and read the above comment and was turned off to the...

Plus I think I've found my next tire!

Perfect combo of lift and tires on the M1028! Not too much lift and just the right amount of tire. I run 34x10.5 Swamper LTB's on mine dailey driver. Truck never broke down or gave me any problems so I did the dumb thing and just kept driving it. Well appartenly I make alot of left handed turns...

I upgraded to the Napa brand that were supposed to be a little bit brighter than stock. So I did and ran it for awhile, month or two. And then the starter quit so while I was checking out the Doghead realy mod under the dash I went ahead and decided to check the fuses. When I got to the 30 amp...

I too used that model Curt hitch. With it it mounts to the bottom of the frame instead of on the inside if I remember correctly. Like jgb680 said there is some cutting and drilling involved but it beats fabbing up brackets and all that. If you type in Curt 14082 in the search thread there are a...

For the horsepower ratings on these trucks they really do tow well. First and second gear you really dont even notice the load. But third gear and hills if you dont have a running start, with mine anyway, you will drop 10 or 15 mph depending on the hill. I live in Kansas, which is 95% flat. I...

I know that alot of people dont like the 6.2 but then again there are alot of people that do. I've put 10k daily driving on mine after it sat for who knows how long and all its needed is a rear main? I think that says something for the it. I was in the Army and cross trained to a 63 Whiskey...

I think you got confused. No its the rear main. This is the CUCV we are talking about. I've replaced dozens of them and I know one when I see one. This motor has 32k on it and with the oil cap off no blow by and all the cylinders are within spec on a compression test. The Kaiser doesnt leak oil...

Thanks for taking the time to answer this post bcowanwheels! I installed the 7lb cap then I ran the heater, which got the truck up to 150 degrees then I unplugged the heater and fired up the truck. Its got a 180 thermostat in it and I shut it off right at about 170 degrees. My logic, correct me...

I posted this over on M715ZONE to, but as I think its more of a mechanical issure versus type of vehicle issue hopefully you guys can help me get this figured out. My original radiator was shot, so I got the aluminum replacement off Ebay that everybody suggests. Works GREAT! (well the first one...

I upgraded my headlights to the ones that Napa claims are brighter and I could tell a little difference. That was about 4 months ago. By the grace of God I stubmled upon the weak headlight wiring circut thread and purchased a LMC upgrade as per its instructions. You guys have never steered me...

I've towed that and a little more with mine and as long as you don't have alot of hills you'll be good. Like porkysplace said, trailer brakes.

-2 with wind chill plugged in with tank heater and magnetic stick on oil pan heater. Both on a timer and ran for 5 hours before I went out to start it. It also has the Jatonka front which helps ALOT in this cold weather. One LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG cycle and she fired off and hammered and...

Saw the truck, never paid attention to the data plate, interesting for sure. All I saw was bigger tires, lol!

I'm the same way dstang97, after I put some man hours into a project I get that emotional attachemnt to it. "Hi my name is Cameron and I have a problem hoarding things with internal combustion engines."

Nice looking truck, looks like its got form and function.. I love the fact that these trucks found a purpose after they military was done with them instead of scraping them. I've got an old M715 former fire dept. rig and love it. I'm not a "purist" with these vehicles, they were tough trucks and...

Nice looking rig, and the working AC and switched over charging system is a huge plus, good score!
