I need to chase the threads on my 12 bolt studs. Can anybody tell me the thread size so I can purchase the correct die? Thanks.

I am putting together a set of 12-bolt HMMWV wheels to run on my M1028 during the summer months. I understand that I need to run 2" spacers on the front to compensate for the wheel's offset, and I also intend to run the spacers on the rear for proper tire tracking and looks. The spacers are...

The photo below is said to be the correct jack for M151. Can somebody verify this and also tell me the lifting capacity of the jack? Thanks.

I would like to install some insulation and sound deadening material to the back of the cab behind the seat in my M1028. I considered applying some peel & stick such as DynaMat or FatMat, however it seems like something else should be applied over this such as carpet or something to hide the...

I plan on installing a 3000 watt Pure Sine power inverter in my M1028 to provide 120 volt AC to power electronic equipment during emergency situations. AIMS offers these with DC imputs of both 12 and 24 volt. http://www.theinverterstore.com/3000-watt-24-volt-pure-sine-wave-inverter.html...

I am trying to decide which tire to run on my HMMWV 12-bolt wheels. Has anyone had any experience with the BFG versus the Goodyear Wrangler?

I would like to improve the storage capability behind my M1028 bench seat. What are some ideas to store extra equipment, guns & ammo, liquid refreshments, etc.? Are there any after-market racks available? Thanks in advance for your posts.

I plan to purchase and install a new HMMWV MileMarker hydraulic winch between the frame rails behind the front bumper of my M1028. These units obtain their hydraulic fluid (and power) from the engine's power steering pump. Because my pump is original and 30 years old, I had planned on...

A while back there was a thread regarding the installation of a HMMWV Throttle Control kit on a CUCV. I have searched until I am blue in the face and cannot find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for your help.

Ok I have searched and read and searched and read and searched and read some more and still cannot find answers. I love my custom 11.00/20 wheels and NDT tires for highway use. However for off road use there just isn't enough room under my fenders for articulation. So I plan to put together a...

Guys (and gals), I was cruising the other SS threads and came across a Military Vehicle-Of-The-Month thread. The OP indicated that there were to be only 20 trucks nominated and he already had 19, so I figured What the Heck I would nominate my M1028. Well it seems my CUCV is up against a bunch...

Hello everyone. I am thinking about obtaining a genset for emergency power for my home during outages (probably what everybody wants). I am completely dumb regarding the different models and outputs, and was wondering if there is a list somewhere that shows the different specs of each model...

My 1984 Arizona National Guard M1028 has only 12,945 miles and the 30-year-old alternators have never been rebuilt. Those of you who have followed my rebuild thread know that, since 2010, I have rebuilt or restored just about everything on my truck and have only driven it approximately 600...

In preparation of some cross-country driving in my M1028, I want to upgrade my stock TH400 + NP208 to a 700R4 and a bullet-proof NP205. The issue is, I cannot accomplish this by myself, and therefore need the services of a reputable shop to provide the hardware and labor. Does anybody know of...

Like hundreds (or maybe even thousands) of other CUCV owners, I would like to install temperature and oil pressure gauges to monitor engine conditions. Let's face it - the Idiot Lights are for, well, idiots, I guess. Although a tachometer would be nice, such an instrument is not an absolute...

Here's a couple photos of the new run-flat wheel that is being developed.

I'm going to post this over on the HMMWV forum, but thought you CUCV guys and gals would like to see the latest design for future 8-bolt wheel. To say these will be run-flat is a gross under-statement.

For all you guys out there wanting to replace your worn CUCV steering stabilizer - The original GM part number was 4993563, later replaced with 88946674. I have found a reference which indicates the later part number 88946674 will not work on our '84-'87 trucks, but not sure if this is the...

Got me a brand new HMMWV 3500 rpm tach. Can this be hooked up in a CUCV? If so, I will fabricate a custom mount on the transmission hump. But I want to make sure it can be wired properly before I expend the effort to build the mount. Thanks in advance for your imput.
