I did use the longer slip yoke adapter and it does look like there is a lot of leverage on the transfer case due to the unsupported weight, but I get very little movement if I get under it and rock it back and forth. I was thinking about fabbing up some sort of support for the unit. No issues...

I installed one on my M1008 and also had to do some tweaking. I used a brand new system and the computer sort of had a mind of its own. Sometimes it worked fine, sometimes not at all, sometimes always stayed in OD. I had the main DC power for the computer wired directly into the fusebox per the...

Good luck - I have a similar issue that I am trying to track down. Like the previous advice mentioned, it is probably a ground issue. Print off a schematic of the entire electrical system and check every stinking ground. Don't just wiggle them, unhook, clean and dab on some dielectric grease and...

It looks great! I have a couple of gallons of DIY liner that I plan on spraying, but I have a couple of questions - first, what did you do for surface preparation? Did you prime first or lat it strait over metal? Also, did you have to reduce it at all? Thanks!

Sherwin Williams industrial store. You are going to love the price - the counter guy asks if it is for use on government contract (I was wearing my CAC card), I tell him no and he sells me a gallon each of 383 Green, Brown and Black that is one month past shelf life for $40 each.

I searched "stencils" and found a bunch of hits. From what I found, 2" Gothic - centered and visible for the bumpers, 1" same same for the TP is about right. I remember using 2" brass stencils for spray on, which is the more traditional Army font (split numbers and letters), or the 2" peel and...

Thanks - need to work on some stencils, though...

Fresh coat of Mil-Spec 383 CARC...

Ha! I meant the truck finding a good home! The T-55 met one of our VII Corp M1's and was hit with a sabot round. You can see the entrance by my right foot. The picture I have attached is of the back side of the same tank. Wasn't much left of the guys inside...

I was going through some old pictures from Desert Storm, and I noticed my old truck in the background. Good truck, never left me stranded. I am the dumba$$ in the middle - no helmet and left my rifle on the tracks. Hope the truck found a good home.

Cool - thanks. I googled "1-623f abn" thinking it was airborne related. The King of Battle never occurred to me.

I am doing some body work on the CUCV and uncovered these bumper numbers. Has anyone heard of this unit? Curious as to the truck's last assignment. Google shows a few hits on 203rd in Bragg, but nothing real definite. Thanks.

Anyone heading out from N. Alabama region on Thursday or Friday that I might be able to tag along with? This would be my first rally, but I haven't had the CUCV on any long road trips yet. Thanks.

I hope I am not sending you on a wild goose chase, but I had something very similar happen to my '68 C-10. I had rebuilt the truck from the ground up and installed a new Painless complete wiring harness as well as a new steering column (column wiring pre-installed). It worked fine at first, but...

The rims were originally painted with weights on. What you are seeing is the original color of the rims (silver) after the weights were removed, plus the new weights that were added after the new tires were put on. I bought the rims with some wore out 35" mud boggers and they did have a bunch of...

Here is mine with 33's on '05 Silverado 8 lug wheels. First pic is stock (no rub), second is with a 2" shackle flip/spring lift.

I was in the army from the time the CUCV's came in until they were phased out and all we ever ran in them was jet fuel - JP-4 in the early days and JP-8 later on. I am guessing that it was part of the NATO streamlining. This really doesn't answer your question about the seals, etc., but I would...

+1 on the electric speedo portion of this discussion. Only on '90-'91 Blazer, Suburban and Dually had 'em (Still a Square Body though!). I had to use one on a LSX swap I did on a '76 C-10. Link to build and lengthy discussion on mechanical/electric and combo speedometers: Another LSx/4L60e Swap...

DrJekl - I am willing to bet that the speedo gear isn't correct. I say this because my speedometer was spot on with GPS before I installed the GearVendor. I ordered it factory direct and was very specific about rear axle ratio and tire size. the rep even discussed having to build the complete...

I have an M1008A1 and also needed to be able to drive at highway speeds. I got the G/V overdrive and I have to say that it is fantastic. I added 33" wheels and can cruise 70mph all day long. this weekend I drove it to Birmingham and back (200 miles) on 3/4 of a tank. The unit cost more than the...
