Attempted to start my M1028 today and there was no power sent to the starter. I went inside the house and had the keys in my pocket. A short time later while I was on the phone, I heard a truck cranking. After about twenty seconds, I still heard the cranking and I realized it was my truck. I...
I went high up into the Sierra's today and it was very warm. I was worried about overheating due to the long steep climb from 7000 feet up to 10300 feet and dozens of switchbacks. The 6.2 held 200 degrees the entire trip. I learned that the switchbacks were built by jeepers and not by CUCV...
Tore down my old 6.2 tonight for a rebuilding project. It had a blown head gasket and exhaust came out through the cooling system. First off, I noticed that on one side all the pistons were darker than the other. One of those piston looked like is had calcium deposits on its face. It came...
So I got the kit the other day and it came with instructions for a two piece tie rod. Skyjacker confirmed that I have the right kit. I replace the factory shock with the skyjacker shock. I cant figuer out where/how the second shock mounts to the housing/ tie rod. Skyjacker said it goes on...
So the other day I decided to due some easy preventive maintenance and swapped the radiator. While taking of the oil cooler lines off the radiator, one of the hard lines crumbled. A hour job turned into a day project. To get the truck running until the replacement hard line arrived, I used...

I remember somebody selling the M1031 utility bed (maybe called a M887)on ebay not to long ago and it didnt even sell. I think it was around 400 or so. I am looking for one. Who makes the bed and where can I fond one? Thanks
Does anyone have a radio mount in their pickup? Either the one that goes over the 4x4 shifter or on the passengerside floorboard. I am looking to buy one if anybody has a spare. Pics would be great of your pickup setup. Thanks
Well, I spent all day tying up some loose ends on the engine swap. I noticed that where the green glow plug wires on the passenger side come out of the loom (under fuel filter), there are two wires (org/black and grn) also coming out and into a female wire connector (cant find in TM). What...
Well, after blowing up the old motor in June, I finally got the new motor installed and it runs like a champ. Brian from BRTRUCKPARTS (very pleased) provided the awesome turnkey motor even though I was skeptical buying a used motor off of the Internet. After 15 hours of swapping, it fired...
What is this? I cant find this in the part manual so I think its a military specfic part. Maybe some kind of elec choke or throttle advance............!@#$%^
Im not sure what brand of dolly uhaul uses, so I was wondering if it can be done. Uhaul states that the M1009 is to heavy for the dolly. Will the tires fit on it? I am sure someone has tried it. If not, I will be looking for a tow bar in southern cAli. Thanks
Just won three M1030b1's for my fireteam (they look super badass will all of the USMS logos). Does anyone have any experience with the military klr650. I have looked them over and I should be able to get all three road worthy in no time. On two of the bikes, the engines were removed for the...
While climbing from 3000 ft. to 9000 ft. in 100 degree heat in Death Valley, I noticed the sweet smell of coolant and a black cloud behind me (exhaust not usually visible in my truck). I thought I was over heating so I pulled over and my 26qt's of coolant was flooding the road. Under the hood...
I am thinking about the M1009 at Rock Island. If anyone is going there would you mind looking at it for me so I dont have to many surprises when I fly in. Thanks
