  1. NDT

    A obvious question that i can't find the answer to.

    Do all four front wheels turn? Yes. Do they all turn at the exact same angle? No. I doubt this is discussed in the TMs as it is part of the core engineering of the truck and is not adjustable.

    M1031 SECM ride height?

    Between the rubber bumper and axle mine shows 3.5". Between the overload spring and the slipper mine is 1". I have most of the load including the horizontal gas cylinder which is heavy as heck. Truck has true 8000 miles showing. Sounds like you have a 1" sag.

    HMMWV retrieval suggestions

    I flat towed mine a while back and the towing manners are worse than a M151. The front wheels don't want to track around corners, and when you back up the front wheels want to go to full lock. Use the trailer.

    Old 5 ton Civvy converted water truck

    Probably started life as a proud 6602 gas powered cargo. I wonder if it remembers what it was like to have a white star painted on the door and be cared for by a new GI private.

    Transmission upgrade

    Search "4L80E" on here to see what CUCV owners have done. "Richingalveston" did a successful upgrade in his M1009. Going the factory option is possible but expensive.

    1,680 mile HEMTT recovery

    Some intel that may be of use. You will be required to exit Ft. Polk on the north commercial gate. Right outside the gate is a huge staging yard where you can do PMCS. You have two friendlies around Ft Polk, Jeepsinker, who lives 30 miles south of the base, and MTP Driveline, who is 30 miles...

    Help needed to stop me throwing money at my CUCV, Hopping/Vibration

    I think it's the rear drive shaft. I would pull the ds, plug the hole, engage high lock, and drive it to see if there is a change.

    Help needed to stop me throwing money at my CUCV, Hopping/Vibration

    No, NDT is in the army truck context. Still pondering your problem. Could your driveshaft be out of balance, like the shop left a rag inside before welding it up?

    C.A.R.C paint and a wire wheel

    I dry sanded an entire HMMWV 20 years ago with no PPE at all and I am still alive and kickin'.

    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    You add hydraulic fluid (jack oil at the auto parts store) in the air-hydraulic power pack filler port between the spare tire and air cleaner. The system self-bleeds after the repair. Welcome and good luck.

    FMTV Do You Leave your Cab Air Springs / Leveler Engaged?

    I leave it on all the time. I suppose the cab droops down at some point when the system air leaks out. I wonder if it make a sound if nobody is there to hear it?

    The only readily available gov surplus trailer suitable for this job is the M172A1. They are no longer being surplused however.
