    Engine Mounts - Poly or Rubber?

    Thanks Rick. I knew would have advice. I'm leaning towards Energy Suspension.

    Engine Mounts - Poly or Rubber?

    Just curious to get experienced opinions on the pros and cons of using original rubber engine mounts versus Polyurethane. I am approaching the point in time to acquire these parts and would like to know other folks' thoughts after using each. In addition to the engine mounts, I will also need...

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

    Guage cluster is coming together. Got the shape drawn in Autocad and sent it to the water jet guy. Then got the 1/8" aluminum shape cut and bent to the correct angles on my finger brake. Test-fit the HMMWV tach and 1 gauge to make sure everything was going to fit. Next, will fabricate the...

    Source for transmission tunnel with no linkage hole?

    I need to explain so everybody will understand what I am looking for - I plan to abandon the factory transfer case mechanical linkage and replace it with a new cable shifter from JB Custom Fabrication...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    There may still be a few P400s out there somewhere for sale, but gosh I would hate to see the price. GEP is working on new vehicle concepts so maybe they will restart P400 production someday.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Well I believe I am finally ready to install the oil pan back on the P400. I got the bungs welded on each side of the pan, one for the suction pick-up for the pre-oiler pump and the other for the oil temperature gauge thermocouple. Also got the Wolverine oil pan heater installed the way I...

    Incorrect link

    Hey - in the Classified section, the first thread is "New Advertisments" which is described as a link to see new ads in the Classified section. However instead of a link to the new ads in the Classified section, it instead is a link to ALL new posts across all forums on SS. Just thought I...

    What to do while changing rear main

    Just so you will know, oil pressure is the measurement of oil resistance throughout the system, and not necessarily an indication of the efficiency of an oil pump. If your bearing surfaces are worn, the gaps between the moving parts will be larger and therefore allow more oil to move more...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Darn I hate it that you are having overheating issues. Probably the next phone call should be to Chris at Bowtie to see what he thinks can be done to improve the issue. Also reach out to Glockfan in Utah. Joe Grant is a great guy with a great CUCV. If I remember correctly he just recently...

    M1008 HARD CRANKING

    Sounds kinda like a rusted ground strap combined with burnt glow plugs. If it were mine, I would start by removing the ground strap, sanding the connecting surfaces, and reconnecting with a new bolt/nut and dielectric grease. I would then remove the glow plug resistor and power the plugs with 12...

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

    Built a mock-up of my new gauge cluster for my M1028. Everything fit as designed, so actual metal fabrication will start next. All gauges will be mechanical - Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Transmission Temperature, Fuel Pressure, and Oil Temperature. In the middle will be a brand new HMMWV...
