    PNW-2011-Third Annual Chehalis River Valley M/V Convoy&Campout

    Interesting MLVW-ish creation at the end of the tape. Correct wheels and flag, but Canada didn't have any soft tops or high (cab mounted) exhaust deuces. Perhaps it is easier to get M35's than MLVW's?

    different types of transmissions for m1028

    So which is stronger - the cast iron 4-speed or the OEM milspec auto? Wondering if the manual shift capability of the automatic mod mentioned earlier plus an overdrive would be better in the long run than an SM 4 speed....

    Has anyone here had fuel stolen?

    Anyone make 1/4" mesh screen tube that could be placed into the tank such that it stays near the top and is as long as the tank, then replace the filler neck with unlocked cap. Thief places hose, it goes in easy an appropriate amount and only gets the top 10% of the tank or so depending on tube...

    Yes - but it has been stripped. Even the clowns and ice cream are gone :mad: All that's left is a bench with drawers underneath and an angled section where a laptop or keyboard probably went. x2 on making stuff up...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    How has the lift worked out? Was thinking about a 2" lift but most manufacturers don't make one for diesels - say the rad will not get enough airflow when the cab gets lifted. Did you use a custom shroud or an electric fan or ??

    classifieds 100 posting rule

    After reading all 8 (currently) pages of the other post I regretably have to agree with the need. However, WTT and WTB should have a lower limit - say50? Hopefully I'll get there in a month or two...without a bunch of useless posts.

    Was going to relocate them over by the voltmeter - using two of the dash lamps from a deuce.

    2nd fuel tank installation 1985 M1028

    Greedy - not with #2 diesel at current prices! On the other hand 71 gallons purchased wherever the closest cheap bulk dealer is should cover the cost of the extra miles needed to drive there and less of them as well since 3.5 times more capacity!) Northwest Metal Products here in Oregon makes a...

    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...

    How to Buy from Government Liquidation

    Anyone had any luck on getting the demil category changed ? Supposedly it is possible. Looking at an airfield trailer that I could probably get from any airline (a 4 wheel baggage cart essentially) but it says an EUC is needed...

    2nd fuel tank installation 1985 M1028

    Anyone added a blazer or suburban tank in the rear (after removing the spare and crossbar that it hangs from)? Thinking of doing that and making it the primary tank, filled by a transfer pump from the left and right tanks.

    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.
