    1985 1009 cucv rear end

    3.08 10 bolt should be no problem to find, it is finding one that doesn't have the grenade pin already removed... Consider this a great time to invest money elsewhere.

    correct back spacing for steel wheels for 1028

    If the rims you have work, why not just go with that backspacing? There is no right answer, the higher backspacing will keep the steering geometry working correctly and minimize tire rub on the fenders but the less backspacing will push the tire out for track width and keep them away from...

    New to CUCV: Question about buying a truck: Diesel fuel leak

    I agree, something that old I wouldn't think twice about replacing it. Even if you fix the leak the IP is probably old and will cause other issues down the road. New filter, new IP, new glow plugs, new fuel lines...good for another 50k to 100k miles.

    4wd. In 4 hi shifter slowly moving back toward 2 hi

    Sounds like linkage not adjusted correctly (not fully engaging 4HI) or the shift fork pads are worn. Undo the linkage and manually shift it into 4HI, then roadtest and see what happens.

    M-1008 Plowing (Vid)

    Like hitting "stuff" that you can't see ;) Curbs, hydrants, rocks, etc.

    M-1008 Plowing (Vid)

    Looking good! That is a mighty big plow for a 1 ton...looks like the ol' M1008 works it like a champ. I think a new Chev would spit it's plastic ball joints out while dragging it's frame trying to do that.

    Two batteries, one tray.

    This probably wouldn't be my preferred method. I have seen batteries come out on the trail even with a factory tie down. An Optima will actually work after you run it over.

    Two batteries, one tray.

    Used to buy Optimas for my personal wheeling rigs and installed them for customers...they are completely hit or miss for quality. I shop by price and warranty. I love my Group 31 Exides from Tractor Supply. $100 each and still going strong. Just started my M1031 after sitting for two months...

    Why I love this place and all of you.

    Yikes! Ohms law should be on the entry exam... You must do a lot of running around checking others work. A thanks is necessary, you guys make sacrifices to do the work you do.

    Why I love this place and all of you.

    OK so you are know my new official hero only second to the guy that gets to sit in the left seat, or front seat, or only seat I guess :) If I could go back to the high school days, I wouldn't think twice about joining for either technician or pilot but got sucked into the automotive industry...

    Front Hitch Install question

    http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?117223-Mile-Marker-24v-12-000lb-multi-mount-winch-install&highlight= No image of just the hitch but you can see how it fits under the truck. I was surprised at how high and tight it stays to the OEM bumper.

    Front Hitch Install question

    Zero cutting required, only small mods to the shackle bracket bolt arrangement.

    Front Hitch Install question

    Sounds like the right number. The photo you see online looks nothing like the one you get in the box.

    Site is an endless vault of information only because of the people that make it up! What type of aircraft and systems do you repair?

    Fuel gage Accuracy

    You are lying, the gauge reads fine. You just need to be able to follow the swinging needles during straight flight ;)

    Front Hitch Install question

    Search for a thread that I did only a few months ago, it has all the specifics. You do need to do some modifications as the CUCV is not a bolt in affair compared to the civy version.

    Fuel gage Accuracy

    Gauge is only accurate at two positions...full and empty. You know it is full because the gauge reads F and you just topped the tank off. Empty is E and you will note the absence of diesel clatter and nothing happens when you hit the skinny pedal.

    Just put a turbo on my m1028...wow!

    I live in Somersworth, NH I typically travel down to Logan airport every week. If you have any questions or need someone to look at something on your rig, send me a PM and I can swing by and take a look.

    Two batteries, one tray.

    Make a battery box on the passenger side where the second saddle tank would go. It's a pretty short run cable wise. Group 31's are cheap and just plain work.
