    Zf s6-650

    Has anyone swapped in one of these from a 2001-2005 era GM/Chevy Duramax instead of the typical NV-4500/4500HD or NV-5600? I think it should be no harder than any other manual tranny swap as it should bolt right up - although a body lift or reworked floor pan would be in order

    Wish I had a 1009

    Saw this up in Seattle - one of only 1155 ever made. Thinking it would be great for hunting/camping on a 1009 and in CARC... The owner is selling the truck/chalet as a unit for $6.5k however not separate. Wonder what the chalet alone would be on the open market? think I'll start keeping my...

    Electrical connnectors

    Anyone know what the Cive equivalent part is for the male connector that fits into the instrument panel indicator lights? Or have a bunch (8) extra they'd be able to part with?

    Glove Box Issues

    Have searched all of the technical manuals as well as a CIVE shop manual and can't find info on how to disassemble the glovebox. Need to remove and replace the latch core in order to replace the plastic box (hinge broke) Does anyone have any links / pics or helpfull advice?

    The DMV is convinced my M1031 is a Dodge?

    Which isn't necesarily bad, but IS weird. They (Oregon) have the model listed as a "D3P" What is this, and shouldn't it be a K30 or something? All I can find for D3P is that the speedo is gear driven...

    Alternator Upgrades

    Are there any alternators compatible with the CUCV 24v system and stock mounting brackets that have a higher output current than 100A? 200A would be nice...

    12v conversion

    Disregard the title - can't change it. Are there any alternators compatible with the CUCV 24v system and stock brackets that have a higher output current than 100A?

    Lssv cucv

    Anyone familiar with the LSSV CUCV? That 24 volt system looks very crowded... Also with a 9200GVW (for a 3/4 ton crew cab) and a heavier tare weight it looks like it will haul less than the old CUCV's. Not to mention that there are seats for 5 but rifle holders only for 2...

    dana 60 vs 14 bolt detroits

    Is the 14 bolt in the M1031 a 10.5" or 11.5" unit - just checking but think it is only a 10.5" since not a dually. Wanting to upgrade to a dually rear axle (higher GVW) like a M1028A2/3 is not as stressed when maximally loaded like I plan to be most of the time once the camper is on (the payload...

    HMMWV rim modifications

    We have all seen many recentered H1/HMMWV rims, but has anyone tried to make them wider? I am wondering about either using a second rear portion instead of the front half,or a "c-channel" style of (variable width) insert that goes between the existing parts with another o-ring and a wider PVC...

    Wheel Spacers

    Lets just say you have 4" worth of lift (ORD with zero rate for example). If I wanted to run stock H1 12bolt rims/military wrangler 37" tires, how thick would the front spacers have to be? I get a variety of answers when I search - depending on how much trimming was done it seems. Also seems to...

    indicator lamps

    Am in the middle of a dash rebuild/redesign - and (duh! :-( ) forgot to mark what indicator label went where. If I remember correctly, the right hand cluster of 4 warning lights was Gen 1, Gen 2, 4x4, oil pressure. The dual set under the speedo I can't remember, ditto the pair under the fuel...

    Sacramento area CUCV shops

    Does anyone know of a good shop or SS member in the Sacramento area that can work on CUCV's without messing them up? Have a concept for a new dash setup using newer GM gauges and a tilt column but it may be bit above my skill level/tools.

    Trailer ID help neded

    Anyone know what the base trailer under this is, or the A/M equipment number? The listed NSN of "1740P1044X8" obviously isn't a NSN and so is of no help...

    transmission temp

    Anyone added a transmission temp gauge? Wanting to move the 2 gen lamps and use those locations for a transmission temp and water temp gauges. Also wondering if I can use a second GM water temp gauge or if the temp range/red line would be wrong.

    Transmission upgrade

    Has anyone swapped the stock th400 in a 1031 (or equivalent) or a current generation heavy duty manual transmission? How well did it work out?

    Non standard camo

    Have a M1031 with 1008 box (and eventually an Alaskan camper on the back) which I would like to paint in a scheme for winter use in northwestern Canada. Trees mostly will have no leaves (mostly birch and poplar/pine with some jackpine). Driving will be outside treeline in foothills so also...
