    Make M105 lower?

    Forgetting the 2750# lets look at the numbers. Lunette height for the 105 is 36". Need to get it down to 24" for your CUCV. You would need at least a 10" shorter tire. Don't know what would fit. M101 is a much better choice in the long run.

    Old dogs, new tricks !! Clinto's help in up-loading pictures.

    Dawn is currently getting estimates on french doors. Clinto will need them so he can get his head in the haus.

    M 1028 gear ratio

    I am befuddled here. What exactly wasn't attractive? You can select ratios between 5.13 and 3.31. The combination you wanted wasn't within that?

    Return line nuts at injectors will not budge?What is 2nd. fuel pump for on 0003A?

    I've had varying degrees of success using a small ball peen hammer and pecking at the wrench. Sometimes the brisk but not heavy impact will help break them loose. Don't overlook the benefit of tapping them tighter just a tad too.

    My first CUCV

    Yeah, it's a CUCV unless that CUVU stands for something personal. See how irritable I get when you mess with my chili mac. I hear they go faster if you paint the black part of the camo chartreuse.

    Civi 2WD axle in the back of my M1009, I need to match up my ratios

    Don't assume. Remove the cover and determine what the rear gear ratio is. Report back and we can give you a plan of attack.

    increase pm allowance size?

    I am in agreement with the OP. We should offer the option for members to purchase additional PM space.

    700r4 swap - core and rebuilt or "new"?

    My burb tips the scales at 6200#. Just because of weight I have to run a heavy truck tag. It started life as a half ton but the axles were upgraded to 3/4 ton just to get the 4.10 gears. It does have a factory installed 6.2 and 700R4. I have put an additional 100,000 miles on it since I've...

    New axles, 14 bolt floating good deal?

    A 14 bolt from a 3/4 ton will bolt right in. The tubes are a bigger diameter so the ubolts are wider as are the spring plates on top of the springs. Perches and shock mounts are exactly where they need to be. I have one swinging from the back of the wrecker right now. It's next in line for...

    New Girl from North GA

    Will you be sporting pink hair as well? I can't wait to see this in person.

    Blackout light bypass

    I won't tell you that you shouldn't but that feature can be useful if the truck ever gets stolen. Cops notice vehicles at night without lights. Unless its an M1010 you cal leave them in service drive too.

    Florida SF-97?

    GSA, that's better, the SF should be in your name. Take that and your paid invoice to the tag agency and apply for a title. If you want tags you need your insurance into too. If you don't plan on driving it, plan to sign an affidavit swearing it won't be on the road. Adam, When you apply...

    Florida SF-97?

    When GL sells a vehicle to a FL resident, they issue a FL title. If they issued you the SF97 you should also have a re-assignment letter with it. If you bought the vehicle from a private seller and he passed the SF97 on to you, you are in for a steep uphill battle.

    700r4 swap - core and rebuilt or "new"?

    Check with both on warranty too. The internet tranny folk may have a great warranty after you ship your tranny back if there are problems.

    1-pin vs. 2-pin slave ports

    Clinto, I can take pics of it with both ends on it but not until Tuesday when I get off in the daylight. Working 15 today and tomorrow. As long as you drill it in the right place, they both fit quite nice. My deuce is gone but the first one I did was the M108 and its still here. It was my...

    Rims from FL to AL

    You should check with Vinny Socom1. He is seeking a ride the other way. Has desks in N GA along the I75 corridor. All else fails maybe a half way meet up.

    1-pin vs. 2-pin slave ports

    I have seen only adapter plates as in your one pic. One of the coolest mods I did to my deuce that's sold was to add one of the HMMWV slave kits that flooded the market a few years back. I drilled a hole under the right headlight and it fits there like it was made for it. Best of all the cables...

    Proper working 4-way ignition switch, doable or stupid?

    There is a member that put a GM Tilt column in his deuce. The factory switch functions just as it would on any GM vehicle but it's on a deuce. Follow "Diablo Build" thread
