    Rim/Tire identification

    I think those fit the rear axle of International Maxxpro MRAPs with dual rear wheels.

    Wc 12 or 13?

    That last ran maybe 40 years ago. I'm with PB, didn't the early trucks have the civi instrument cluster still?

    Texarkana pickup. Gonna be wet

    Never been to the remote yard. But the SEE crowd sure has been to that yard, check in with one of them. There is a SEE thread where they all commiserate about their rat eaten rolling identity crises.

    Parts for 6.5L GEP Optimizer/4L80E HMMWV

    A Chevy dealership will not be stocking very much for a 16+ year old diesel pickup. That said, a set of injectors might be available as well as a transmission filter/pan set.

    Parts for 6.5L GEP Optimizer/4L80E HMMWV

    The bare long block is the same as the bare long block made by GM (with casting improvements). Most everything attached to it is HMWWV specific. The 4L80E is the same as what would be used in a similar era GM 4x4 equipped with 6.5 turbodiesel. Everyone agree?

    what fluid is used in the wheel hub?

    You fill the hub from the hub fill ports. It is leaking because someone did not do a good job sealing it with silicone last time it was opened. Time to download the technical manuals and do some reading, we don't mind answering questions but you will need to read up sooner or later. If it was...

    what fluid is used in the wheel hub?

    Welcome to Steelsoldiers. I would open the wheel end differential and check all the gears inside for anything abnormal, then reseal the hub using silicone and refill the hub with 85W-90 gear oil. Yes, on the rear axle, the gear oil can travel from the pumpkin to the wheel end if the truck is...

    Air Drop trucks. Dumb questions

    The only differences on the 1081's cab are from the beltline up. The beltline is the imaginary line at the bottom of the windows. Mechanically and electrically the 1081 and 1078 are the same. The 1081's have two sling points over the rear axle that are accessed through square holes in the bed...

    m998 30-45 mph vibration issue

    Transfer not in high lock by any chance? If you had an alignment, the shop should have caught any ball joint, wheel bearing, or tie rod issues.

    Differences between 6.5 GEP NA and turbo

    No, the turbo engine has van style heads and the NA does not.

    Differences between 6.5 GEP NA and turbo

    The turbo engine has the different heads that are used with GM vans and H1/HMMWV. If you are looking for an engine for a CUCV and wish to install a GM truck side mount turbocharger, get the NA GEP engine. The HMMWV turbocharged engine will not fit in a CUCV or CUCVII due to the exhaust pipes...

    electrical expertise / input needed re battery disconnect / alternator / Smart Start

    That 50 amp switch is subject to a meltdown, it is severely undersized, I would remove it. Yes, the same number of amps travel through the negative as the positive.

    cucv m1008 6.2 to 454 big block swap questions.

    The 454 will bolt to your existing th400 but you need to use a torque converter designed for a gas engine. Yes the pink wire can power your ignition coil on the 454. Use the power steering pump from the diesel on the 454 and keep the hydroboost brake system.

    Michelin 395/85/20 blowout

    I agree there are issues with the Michelin 395s as well. One of mkcoen's 395s was so hot I could not touch it after a 150 mile flat tow. The other 3 were normal. Properly inflated.

    PTO/ Transmission question about M916A2

    This is as I recall: The HT-740 has a PTO gear on the very first planetary, i.e. the ring gear turns at the same speed as the engine (minus converter slip when not locked) at all times. The PTO aperture is at 10:00, so some PTOs are set up for lubrication. These PTOs routinely are used for...

    Are Omix Ada radiators good to go?

    Can I ask a question? Have you considered having your existing radiator "rodded out" by a local radiator shop?

    To beadlock or run-flat or not to beadlock or run-flat...That is my question...

    The video is a HMMWV 37". That method does not work with the runflat little girl picture. Dismounting the tire/runflat from the wheel is never an issue, regardless of whether there is a runflat or beadlock inside. Folks typically want to get rid of runflats to reduce unsprung weight. They...

    To beadlock or run-flat or not to beadlock or run-flat...That is my question...

    1. FMTVs never had runflats, they have beadlocks (picture shows one on top of boxes) 2. The first generation Caiman MRAP, based on the MTV chassis, used the runflat in the picture with the little girl. 3. The first generation Caiman MRAP used the same wheel as the FMTV, then later the...
