    1997 M1078 will not start

    I would start by disassembling all the battery terminals and cleaning and inspecting the terminals and cable ends.

    Installing the third member assembly as available from Eastern can be done by any mechanic.

    M1088 Upgrades

    Very few shops understand setting up the wheel end spider gears properly. If you guess the gear lash, they will grind and rumble and self-destruct. The wheel ends have to come apart to change the front differential. Also, lately, the surplus high speed ring and pinion gears are dried up, you...

    Well shoot! 6-Bolt vs 4-Bolt Crank/Flywheel

    If the CCKW pressure plate bolts to it and the recess for the pilot bushing is the same, that may work fine.

    All three.

    Welcome. I highly recommend MTP Drivetrain in Many, LA for #1 and 3.

    Licensing M915's

    Ouch. Here is why this happened. People have been buying Humvees (also made by AM General) that are title branded "off road use", then "washing" the titles to remove the brand. Various states have figured this out, and have flagged anything made by AM General as off road only unless the owner...

    Well shoot! 6-Bolt vs 4-Bolt Crank/Flywheel

    I needed a 6 bolt hole 270/302 GMC flywheel back in the 80's and it was hard to find then.

    Well shoot! 6-Bolt vs 4-Bolt Crank/Flywheel

    No. Clutch has to have bolting surface and friction surface.

    Can I run tires without the runflats and PVC inserts?

    Who sells the pvc pipe beadlocks ready to use? Or do we just buy some 16" schedule 80 pipe and cut it?

    Throwing money down the CUCV hole

    He's in Hawaii hence the rust. Only place worse for rust is Guam.

    Cross Country in an M820

    Cool plan! Looks like you have all bases covered. My only suggestion is to have Eastern find some kind of box or platform to attach behind the cab for stuff. Not much room in the cab.

    How difficult is it to change to a regular thermal fan?

    Search "viscous" in the HMMWV forum. Works fine.

    M813 VIN Help

    Check the Cummins data plate for a year or maybe a build tag on the axles. If all else fails, pick your favorite 1970's year.

    Put my LMTV to work today.

    I like my method of heating my house. Set the little dial on the thermostat and natural gas does the rest.

    M49a2c

    Construction companies typically want those for dust control water trucks. They do not want projects, rather trucks that run and are ready to go. Collectors/enthusiasts like yourself don't get excited about fuel/water trucks because they can't carry a bed full of fun-seekers. Scrap yard will...

    Help brakes

    We call "pads" "brake shoes" over here in the colonies. It is correct that the springs will hold the shoes against the adjusters when the brake cylinders are not applied.

    XM215 Dump Box Question

    I would fix it, looks bad. Wish I could find a 215.

    M45a2 WLF

    The stack exhaust came about in the 1970's. Trucks surplused around then could still have the factory rear exhaust. If your pump plan does not work out, pm me, I am pulling a pto driven fire pump from a deuce brush truck at the moment.
