    Missing ring gear?

    Well, I missed this originally but I'll tell you my story. I once bought a deuce right from the guy that got it from DRMO a few weeks earlier. He didn't do a thing to it. Fortunately it was purchased as a parts truck for another project. When I pulled the transmission I found that all...

    How to store a used Deuce engine ?

    Unless the can is sealed, they rain humidity inside. Most have sacks of desiccant in them. Desiccant can be dried in an oven and reused over and over. Best to seal the can and get it the 5 PSI of whaever they pressurize them with (nitrogen)???

    M1008 Ignition switch

    I have access to NOS GM ignition lock cylinders for the CUCV. These even have the GM key with the 73Y2 punchout still in place. Sadly, they are not cheap.

    multi fuel engine in m1008

    It would be a good idea to see what you are trying to achieve? What are your plans or thoughts? That would help a bunch. Anything like this can be done with a large budget,

    M35A2 Battery Cable Size(s) & Lengths...

    There should be NSNs in the -P parts manual. Grab those and search them on parttarget. 99% of the time they will list the lengths.

    HMMWV magnesium run flats

    So far, that's the best use we've found. Would be interesting to see other uses.

    Contact Maintenance Trailer

    There is an outboard frame rail on the M887 bodies. It is a little close and an A3 axle with stockish tires might work. It will not work with A3 tires. I have an A3 with 235/85R16 cucv rolling stock. I can measure it for sure. Ref tail lights, I considered same. I even test fit them but...

    Contact Maintenance Trailer

    FWIW I added a 2" block to the aft crossmember when I built mine. The body sits much better that way. I have an M887 body on my CUCV and it's blocked up 2" in the rear.

    Spindle Not Lining up

    You can also reach around and push the joint assy out a bit.

    How to make HMMWV street legal.

    I think the obvious way is to get DLA to drop that "off road only" part from the paperwork. If it isman emission issue, just use the same agreement they just used in resuming sales. To effect this change it needs to be a legit grass roots movement across the nation much like was done in GA.

    Key does not turn in the ignition

    Pretty easy actually. Helps a bunch to have a lockplate remover. Sure Autozone or the like rents them. I concur with most folks, ignition is changed or munged up.

    just got a m105A2, need help on lunnete tow ring flip

    Tapered shaft and no further threads. Your hammer is about 5# underweight and you might need fire. They can be a pain when provoked.

    Taillight Harness Question

    Go to the back and unplug the rear harness. Use a test light to see if anything is making it back to the rear. Pinout of the harnesses may (likely) be different.

    HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

    Considering how many of these have already disappeared, I'm not holding my breath for a decent price on one. Too little, too late. I'm sure there will be some "creative maneuvers" taking place to get these things titled without restrictions. As was mentioned earlier, this thread isn't the...
