    Need Oil Cooler O-rings

    Do you have a part number? Most parts stores are totally clueless and I have not been able to track the part down in a different brand.

    Need Oil Cooler O-rings

    Hi all, I just got my radiator back from being re-cored and I need the O-rings that go on the oil cooler lines that go into the radiator. I looked in the TM and found the part number of 14055585 which seems to be those O-rings but in doing a Google search, it appears these are discontinued and...

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

    Those are not affecting the rubber ring being split. It is getting replaced with my Fluidampr that I already have for it.

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

    Yes sir, I am replacing that seal. Yeah, this isn't the first time I have had balancers go bad. Very common on older SBC engines. You can see on the back side where the rubber started to split and is just starting to poke out from the edge, this is the start and will only get progressively worse.

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

    Been getting some more work done on the M1010. Finished up the Paradox kit. Got some adapters to use my new water temp sender and the crossover bypass port to the water pump. Because the angle of the Humvee bypass port is different than the stock crossover, I found I needed to use a molded...

    Anyone Running a Dometic Fridge? 12 or 24v?

    Yeah, it doesn't sound like a capacity issue, since that is related to how many hours you can run it. Voltage is the main issue and if it is dropping down to 23.5, that is likely tripping the low voltage cut off. If you're dropping below 24 volts, you batteries are low on charge, especially if...

    Anyone Running a Dometic Fridge? 12 or 24v?

    Check your battery voltage without the engine running. It could be below the low battery voltage cut off set point on the fridge. With the engine running it is likely getting a voltage that is high enough to allow it to start the compressor. Not familiar with that model to know if you can...

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

    So far fairly simple but getting to those rear ports is a PITA. I was literally laying on top of the engine. A couple notes for ya. The driver rear sender, if you remove the sender with the adapter bushing from the plate, it will screw right into one of the upper ports on the new crossover...

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

    This week I have been working on the cooling system. Was hoping to just flush out the radiator, replace hoses, add my Paradox By Design cooling it and refill with new coolant. After draining the radiator, it was looking like it would need to be boiled out. Took it down to the radiator shop...

    Bilstein 5125 shock install

    Are you talking the rear shocks? If so, they have some notes (well the old site did) that the 1 ton trucks use a 9/16" bolt where the shocks use 1/2". You either remove the shock sleeve or weld a 1/2" ID washer to each side of the mount and use a 1/2" bolt.

    You can buy it on Amazon, for the gear reduction style https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GV77H2U/?coliid=ISYLN8ZJKP519&colid=3NGKAKQPXU5PT&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    Have you checked the starter relay under the dash? Those commonly go bad. Search Doghead Relay for the way to upgrade this part.

    Converting 24volt to 12 volt M1009 CUCV

    Higher voltage equals less amps. Example, if a 12v starter needs 400 amps to start the engine, 24v would only need 200 amps. This is why the main starter cables are fairly small in size, as they don't need to carry as much current. You can switch to a 12v starter but upgrade your main...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    GV pros are very easy to install. Gives me gear splitting and living in SoCal, I have a lot of mountains to cross over to get to anywhere. Having a "2.5" gear could be very useful when 2nd is to high and 3rd is to low. I can get it with a fixed yoke and use a slip joint driveshaft, so if any...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Nice! I am still on the fence between doing the 700r4 swap or Gear Vendors. Pros and cons to both. Excited to see how this works for you.
