Went to take out the rear driveshaft to do my flywheel replacement, but the u joint bolts immediately stripped themselves. Truck doesn't run and I have no way of towing it anywhere. I am in a parking lot with only a Cresent toolkit. It's kind of annoying that there aren't u joint bolts on the...

I have uncovered some of the original painted markings of my cucv, and was wondering if anyone here could decode them. Would be cool to know the history of my truck. Hard to make out some of the letters on the bumper though.

Am I right to assume these trucks (m1008/m1028 ) are equipped with a non-selectable locker? They aren't trutracs, right?

New to the cucv crowd, previous humvee owner. Just picked up this new m1028, and the guy put in a new 24v starter, and I just threw in two brand new batteries. Unfortunately the original starter relay was replaced and relocated to the engine bay firewall. I saw the doghead relay mod and that...

I was just looking through the instructions for the compressor And it says to redrill the hole for the tensioner pulley, but I don't have access to a drill. Does anyone know if it's actually required to redrill that hole?

I've determined that I want to drop the military wheels/tire and swap them out for some civilian ones. I am currently running paired spacing 24 bolt rims with 37 BFG Baja E with runflats. My main reason for wanting to change is to shed as much weight off the tires as possible, for less...

I just finished up my 6.5 turbo swap from my old 6.2 and took it out on the road yesterday and practically went deaf going 45 mph. I had my 4l80 mated with my 6.2 before and at 50 it was relatively quiet, I could actually have a conversation at that speed. Now I'm screaming at passengers above...

What is required to change a 2.73 differential to a 2.56 geared one? Can I throw the ring and pinion of a 2.56 in it and be fine or do I need more?

I've been trying to understand what exactly is needed to make a normal radio deck into a one that fits over the turbo doghouse. Is it just the extended base? Are there spacers between the a pillar and back of the deck? Is the turbo deck itself any different than the non turbo one?

I'm starting this thread so I can get a lot of answers for my numerous questions now and ones that will pop up as I go through the swap. I am currently in the process of getting a GEP 6.5 TD, it runs, but other than that I don't have info on it, yet. I have acquired the Doghouse recently. What...

Believe me I've heard all the gripe about these things. But I love the look of them, I don't mind the functionality, but I would like to do everything in my power to prevent the unit from catching fire. And I got this unit used for $50. I plan on running ground wires to the gauge cluster, body...

I've been seeing thermostat flow controls all over ebay recently and I was wondering how they fit in wire-wise to the red dot ac system? I have been having to turn the ac on and off when the weather is warm but not hot, and since the fans do not stay on when you turn off the compressor I...

Picking up a GEP turbo in a little while, was wondering who else has done this kind of upgrade and if anyone has any tips and tricks they could share with me. I will have my buddies shop to help with the heavy lifting, but I would like to invite people to share their experiences and advice for...

I noticed that I have the cast upper perches and when I've had 2500 lbs of gravel in the back the springs didn't budge. Do I have the normal 3000 lb HD springs or variable rate? They seem extremely stiff and I want to have the normal HD ones so I can upgrade to variable rate for the softer ride.

I am going to replace my 4 groove pulley for the 5 groove one. I know some people say that you have to remove the radiator stock to access the bolts and all. I was wondering if the job is possible with removing the stack? It would save me time, maybe it wouldn't save me some headaches but at...

I've been reviewing both the parts manual and the installation instructions for the kit, mainly for the vent line installation. I swear the designers of the kit must have gotten hammered and then drew up the installation instructions. It seems to pay attention to every detail but not the big...

Been sulking around ebay and I kept seeing oddly shaped thick rubber insulation listed. They interested me and when I went to the TM all I could find was that picture and a whole lot of NSNs. Now before I go off to Kascar or macmotors, does anyone have a good cheaper source for all of these...

Did some math, or I should restate, a website did some math. I went to a couple different engine rpm calculators to see what rpm my engine would be doing at a certain speed with certain ratios. All the ones with plenty of input data were consistent, so heres the one I used...

I was reading up on ULSD and LSD, and I got me wondering what I should be adding to my fuel to make sure it has plenty of lubrication for the pumps and all. What are you guys running for additive for fuel? Head on a diesel forum that people are adding 2 cycle oil at a 128:1 ratio for a tank.

I have the locking door latches and the keyed ignition and I use the steering lock, and I feel pretty safe about the truck, but I always make sure to leave nothing loose inside. So lets say a thief comes along and I happen to leave my door unlocked and my steering wheeling unlocked. And lets...
