I run a ORD shackle flip 4" lift with Tuff Country springs up front. All parts from ORD. Also use their brake lines , steering box frame reinforcement kit, quick dis-connect sway bar, bushing kit front and rear, all from them.You will like that Curt hitch- very beefy and well made.I trimmed the...

No worries. You also know that your spare probably will not fit under the bed anymore ? I run 37' military radials and my spare is in the bed. Stock tire MIGHT fit.

Not as long as your drop tube fits. Mine is recessed a little on my 1028 as well - works and tows my M101a2 fine.

I have the same unit. After warm up the gauges even out. Always run the unit at full throttle till warm then adjust until hertz reaches 60. If you warm them up below full throttle you can damage the unit. My frequency meter jumps around a bit also and the volt meter is all over the place , but...

Installed a new front output shaft yoke/flange and oil seal on my 1028 transfer case. Old yoke was toast.Now I know why the leak got progressively worse.Those NOS yoke/flanges are scarce, but I lucked out and found one locally!:naner:

The power band on the 6.2 is 1800-2200 RPM. My 1028 has a 4 " lift and surplus 37" radials. I have had a GV installed for 2 years. At 70 mph my TinyTach shows 2310 RPM, and my engine is happy. The GV allows you to manually at will shift into overdrive with a floor mounted switch. Or you can use...

Walker Truck parts in Hesperia, or Militarysurplusparts on the bay.Same person.He had NOS kits, I bought one 3 weeks ago for 85$ brand new in the box surplus,mount,brush guard ,and hardware. They are getting hard to find new in the box.

Consider finding 16.5 " Chevy 8 bolt 8 1/4 " wide wheels from the 70's era trucks. They are out there and will fit surplus Humvee tires. I run this setup on my 1028 and they are balanced with beads in the tires. They run true and look good. Any tire shop that do big truck tires can set you up...

While your in there before you button it up, you might consider a spin on fuel filter mod- easy modification and you'll probably have to do it sooner or later.

Thanks for all the technical replies. I need to understand this setup now that it is installed in my 1028. Install went well with the usual search for the correct cables and mounts. Went with the MX 7777b. I do like the added surge protection. Question though ,can I leave the RT246 and the R442...

After a couple cocktails anything is possible.

I think I fouled up those pics!:(

Just completed an AN/VRC12 install on my 1028. Decided to locate radios in the bed above the wheel well on a Hummvee tray. Used a MX 7777 behind drivers seat on the bulkhead. I like the RT 246 remote setup which allows complete control (10 presets and on /off plus hi / lo switch. Audio is also...

Welcome to the world of the CUCV! Clean looking rig. Lots of knowledge here on this site, just search.

Carnac, Sorry to hear of your bad luck, but would like to thank you for the best deal of the show for me- the C-2298 VIC box for 7$ !!!!!!!!! Just got my radios ready to power up. Wish I could have stayed longer. Everyone I met were nice people including yourself. When we met you had just...

I had planned to test my setup just as you described. I purchased a sweet AN/VRC 12 set up from Private Jarhead.Great guy and radios are CLEAN! Picked them up at Tower Park. Almost ready to power up.Pics of installed rig to follow.What are the reasons to not transmit between a RT-246 and an...

VRC 12 pro's, cons I am installing a remotely controlled RT-246 in the bed of my M-1028 pickup. What are the advantages or disadvantages of adding a RT -442 receiver . Will I gain more channels or be able to monitor other stations while transmitting? Or should I put the extra money towards a...

Those cables need replacement.I use #4 cable minimum and those crip on cable ends are known to be loose and leak voltage . All that buildup of sulphur is another sign of lost voltage and can contribute to battery decline. If the rest of your terminals and connectors look like that I would do a...

First as to the Surplus Center box, I removed the supplied connector, and sealed the opening.Then a 1" Romex clamp type connector(metal) was used to attach the 10/3 SO cord to the box. A hole the diameter of the connector was drilled in the lower sloped portion of the plastic. It is quite secure...

I think this unit is ready for service. Thanks to all the threads concerning the MEP-016d. After removing the upper fuel tank and pressure washing followed by muriatic acid ,it cleaned up rather nice.Tested the float switch on the bench and it seemed to work as far as continuity , but on the...
