    Adding two-stroke oil for lubricity - this study says NO.

    I have found that adding 2 stroke oil or SVO (filtered to at least 1 micron) to the tank helps quiet down the sounds coming from under the hood as well.

    Cucv 105a2

    The M1102 is a good choice for towing behind the CUCV. I have 2 M1102's that I have towed with both my M1008 and M1028. Lights and brakes work with the plug and no air is needed. Both of my trucks are stock height. If you wanted to reduce the height of the trailer you could always just swap...

    GM 10 Bolt with Air Lockers

    Just spend the money once on a set of M1028's or M1031's axles. I played the upgrade axles/tires game in a CJ-7 and wish I would have just spent the money one time and gotten the Dana 60 front and rear that I ended up with. Instead of replace stock axles 1 time, then to Dana 44's then to the...

    DIY Tire Balancing

    Please report back with your results on the Centramatics after you have driven with them initially and maybe after 6 months. I'm considering getting some for my HMMWV wheels and tires that are on my CUCV. Thank you in advance.

    BOA knows they are to big to fail....but that's another discussion for another time. BOA got in trouble for the way they were processing debits. They would process the highest amount first and then the next highest amount and so on. With each following debit they were hoping to bounce your...

    Trailer to haul a M1008

    I have also towed several CUCV's long distances and would recommend that you remove the rear driveshaft as well. Also make sure you have some safety chains hooked up like in AMGeneral's pics. And don't forget the tow lights to put on the CUCV's back bumper/tailgate/bedsides. There are...

    Wrong glow plugs installed!!

    It won't cause problems other than burning out faster. Yes there is a resistor but its on the CUCV. Is that what you were thinking about?

    http://www.trailworthyfab.com/H1-Hummer-Wheels/ Read up.... I know Interco, Goodyear Wrangler MT or the MT/R and Pitbull offer tires for the HMMWV rims there may be some others but those are the ones that I am positive that have several different tires and sizes to fit. There is a piece that...

    special charger for AGM batteries?

    $179 is a great price for Yellow tops D34/78. Best I've been able to do (with a core and a coupon code) with Advance Auto is $186. The $186 price is all day everyday tho.

    Welcome from Blacksburg just down the road from you. I love my 1028 w/plow in my avatar. It's a great work truck, plow truck and does everything I have e ever asked it to do. Be sure to read thru the TM's. It's a worthwhile read. I would definitely recommend going thru and replacing all the...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    Is that what is hanging from the back of the red plow truck? Why? I worked the truck in my avatar for the past 3 days. I'm glad I had a 1028 I barely made it up 2 driveways to plow them with chains on all 4 tires. I don't know if the 1008 would have made it? I had 3 offers to purchase the...

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

    After standing in the cold for an hour because for some reason my garage won't fit a snow plow and a fullsize truck and allow you to shut the door. I replaced my blower fan motor after it started making a awful noise. Which while plowing snow today couldn't have come at a worse time. It...

    HMMWV Replacement Batteries

    These are the Yellow top batteries I have: D34 CA-870 CCA-750 AH-55 RC-120 These are the Red top batteries I have: Model #-34 CA-1000 CCA-800 RC-100 The reason I like the Yellow top over the Red top is that the Yellow top is a deep cycle battery which seems to respond better to deep discharges...

    HMMWV Replacement Batteries

    Go to Advance Auto online (if you have a store in your area to pick up from?) and get the Red Top Optima's or Yellow Top (which are what I prefer and use in the 3 vehicles below). They have a 3 year warranty and if you use the online promo code TRT30 it'll save you $50. Make 2 seperate orders...
