    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I was able to get carparts.com to give me a discount after showing them how the parts came. They were all capa certified parts. The tailgate new cost me 116 after getting price adjusted which I'm happy about because around here a rust free tailgate is 300-400. Need a time machine to go back...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Getting the new fenders, hood and tailgate painted. Next time I spend a few extra bucks on the better grade replacement parts. Had to spend a few hours with filler fixing the dings from shipping.

    M1152 400 Amp alternator voltage jumping.

    Must be two different control boxes. My M1152 with 400amp alternator is massive. Can't even get to fuel filter.

    M1152 400 Amp alternator voltage jumping.

    My M1123 never does that on cold start. Is that something different with the turbo trucks? It does it for about 45 seconds after starting.

    M1152 400 Amp alternator voltage jumping.

    On my 2006 M1152 after starting for the first time, the voltage will surge up and down, but after about a minute it will stabilize. Could the voltage regulator be going bad possibly? Batterys are fully charged.

    M1028 plug and air tank in bed.

    So they put a relay for the glow plug on firewall? I do have a switch on the dashboard that I thought was for manual glow plug operation.

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Nice to see EUC times getting better. Too bad SF97's couldn't be in the same boat. ;(

    Humvee USMC Markings

    Originals are stickers. I just made mine with my vinyl cutter. My original back markings were painted over.

    Installed new batteries in my m1028. Question about headlights.

    I flipped them to service lights on and had blackout light off. No lights still.

    Installed new batteries in my m1028. Question about headlights.

    Shouldn't the headlights and turn signals work even if key isn't in ignition? I still have to change ignition key lock because I didn't get a key with the truck, so I couldn't move forward to see if it makes a difference.

    Finally delivered M1028. Few questions.

    I ended up getting 2" spacers. I have so many humvee wheels in my shop. I switched my m1152 from 12 bolt to 24 bolt, so I had an extra set.

    Finally delivered M1028. Few questions.

    When I repaint it I will pull the decal off and scan it. I can get them made if anyone wants one. I'm on the fence about keeping it the way I bought it from the USMC or repainting it in 383 Green. Its a cool looking truck with the safety tape on the sides.

    M1028 plug and air tank in bed.

    You are correct! Followed air line to two tone horn in grille.

    M1028 plug and air tank in bed.

    Found this relay added in. Would that be because the glow plug controller is missing. They did add a huge siren.

    M1028 plug and air tank in bed.

    I got the truck direct from the USMC. They added the tank. The rectangle plug is for a glow plug controller? I've searched all tm's and can't find this plug on a wiring harness for dash.
