I changed to a civy cluster which gave me the oil pressure and water temp gauges. I bought a tach from LMC and a small fuel gauge where I installed the small fuel gauge in the empty spot of the cluster and replaced the large fuel gauge with a large tach. The tach runs of a Dakota Digital DS-1...

you can change the water neck on the engine to a 2". it just bolts on.

I do not know many people that use the run flats in the HMMV tires, most use the double bead lock insert. The run flats will ruin your tire quickly and the lube prevents any balance beads from being used. The run flats from what I here run like sh**. If you are putting the tires on a CUCV I...

Cascade failure comes from the resistor. If you have 12 volt, you no longer have a resistor. Many things can cause it to take longer. The change of the glow plug card, your temp sensor may be acting up, your battery voltage may be low. You could have bad glow plugs already. You could have...

steering gear box, I had one do this to me and the gear box was worn so that the gears were skipping teeth. It gets very stiff while the steering shaft gear is on top of the tooth of the other gear, when you jerk it, the gears drop over the tooth and back down into position. The gears are...

the 4l80e is not working just yet. I am sure it is the TCI controller. I had the torque converter and rest of tranny checked out. I have not been able to get it to work yet. stays in second gear which is the error default mode of the controller. It has been a 3 year project and all that I...

Square nose suburban's have floor pans similar to the truck and had front buckets with individual sliders. I believe the suburban buckets will bolt right into the truck might look into it as a seat base. I liked the seats from the suburban so I put them on my 1009 bases. They have armrest on...

I have the centramatic balancers and they work really well. I have the ones for the H1 Hummer wheels that they sell. They work with my recentered Humer wheels and the Hutchinson gm beadlocks that I have. They do not work with the stock CUCV wheels. I believe the smaller ones made for the 1...

It was the Hubs. I will post a video of the wobble when I get it downloaded from my phone. I put new hubs and rotors on the front and the wobble is gone. Inspecting the old rotors, they were no longer round at the end where the gear is, they were slightly oval. The back wheels had a slight...

If you stay with an 11 inch wide tire or less with an 8 or 9 inch rim that has either 4 or 4.5 inches of back spacing you can put 37's on without trimming (may have to trim the inside lip of the fender but not the outside. When you go wider or have less back spacing, that is when your tires...

I may be in my pickup with 4wheeler in back since my 1009 probably wont be ready but I plan on attending the off road park Friday and Saturday. I would suggest the new Buckees in Waller for those coming out of Houston who want to attempt a convoy. Huge parking lot. It is 35 to 45 minutes to...

I am in the Texas City, College Station, and East of Dallas Texas area, I just don't know when I am going to be in which of the locations. If you can make it down I-45 to exit 17 when I am going to be there. I could show you what you need to know about your truck. Can you drive the truck...

Please post the list you have and maybe we can start identifying the locations. should not take long to complete the list with all of the knowledge on this site.

Forgot to mention that there will be a SS rally in College Station in a few weeks, there will be a lot of people there that can tell you all you want to know and much more. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?115645-2014-Annual-Texas-MV-Rally

If you can make it to the Texas City area, I could look at it and tell you what you need to do. You can start a thread to get help fixing your truck. You will need to post picks and detail descriptions of the problems you are having and be ready and start using the TM.

I would not sell mine for that, I have 6k alone in new drive train. (4l80e, ord magnum, new drive shafts, D60 with e-locker, 14 bolt with gov lock. All parts rebuilt, just this is 6K+ in parts) not seeing the add and not knowing what has been done to the truck, I can't say what it is worth. A...

Not sure of the size you need but if you are making some changes are you sure you want to use the stock shackles, they are known to be weak. Companies like ORD make new shackles and mounts that are much better but they are not the same size they also make grease shackles which help in...

will your siren work as a PA system with your CB, just hide the siren part and call it a PA system for your CB radio. I am looking for a PA/siren speaker that I can mount on my front brush guard that is only about 4 inches deep so I won't stick out of the brush gaurd

the truck will drive with 33 inch tires max with stock setup, it may be able to sit with 37's but any turning will be difficult because of fender rubbing. Your rim back spacing also makes a difference so you will probably just have to put them on and try. If it sits for a long time the tires...

Nothing is loose, I have taken it apart and put it back together. I have tried prying on the rotor in all directions and it has no give. All four tires are on jack stands and the wobble is noticeable when you put the truck in drive with the wheels in the air. With no weight on the tires, the...
