I have read countless threads on adding a trailer hitch to these trucks. I have narrowed it down between two. Curt 14082 and the Reese 51016. The Curt will take a little work to put on and it comes welded together. The Reese, I believe takes no modifications to put on, put is put together...

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on a sale that Interstate Batteries is having. I bought two new ones yesterday for my truck for $125 apiece (regular $160). The sale is 20% off in the store or online. It runs until the 15th

I have a 1986 M1028A1. I have a leak on one of my power steering lines. Under normal steering conditions it doesn't leak bad, but if you get close to the locks the fluid will come out the top of the crimp closest to the pump. On figure 134 of the -34P TM part number 5 is what I need see...

I have searched and read and can't find the answer. I see where people talk about issues with balancing hummer wheels and tires. What is the issue, the tires or the wheels? I picked up my first trailer this weekend, M1101 with hummer tires and wheels. Wow those are definitely a lot larger...

I live west of Atlanta in Villa Rica and for the past couple of weeks I have seen several CUCV's going down some back roads. Just curious if any of those guys are on here?

My old floor mat and padding needed replacing. I tore it all out and I am going to clean the floor of the cab and primer it. I also thought about throughing down a layer of the Rust-O-Leum bedliner just to help protect against rust. It is pretty clean with just minor surface rust. I have...

Pulling up the old floor mats and here lay two wires. One black and one white. They pass the TC hole in the floor and under the dash. I can't see where they come out anywhere. Any ideas

I have searched here an on the internet for the torque specs when replacing the front bearings on my M1028A1. Everything I seem to read is a couple of years old and some of it says the TM -20 is incorrect. Can someone help me please? What is the correct way to torque them and how much? I am...

I have a starter bracket coming in this week and I have been gathering up the bolts to install it. I have no idea the last time one was on it. I picked up the M8x1.25x20 for the bracket to block and it will not fit. It will go in maybe a 1/2 turn. I sprayed brake cleaner up there and...

After being on here for about 2 months reading and asking questions, I finally got my first cucv. It is a 1986 M1028A1. I bought it in Ohio on Saturday. There is very little rust and it runs great. The gentleman I bought it from said it came from the Mississippi National Guard. The following are...

I have searched, but can't find my answer. I have/picking up a M1028. I know it is going to need new shocks. Seems a lot of ya'll like Bilstein. I am going to add zero rates to the front (to help level the truck) and a add some larger tires. I can't find a definite part number for stock...

I am looking at buying a M1028 in South Dakota and I live West of Atlanta, Ga. That is a long ride at 55mph. Looking for recommendations on companies to haul it for me. If anyone would like to throw out a rough estimate that is fine too. Thank you Ted

I have been looking for a M1028 and keep finding M1008 trucks that were I guess changed over to 12 volts by the fire departments that used them. They are usually in good shape at a fair price. My question is, is it possible (im sure it is) and economical to convert it back to 24v? Is it just...

I am new to the world of cucvs. I am looking for either a M1008 or M1028. I have found plenty of both in the same condition and within a few $100's of each other. I have been on this forum day and night for about a month now. I am pretty sure I am more confused than when I started lol. I...
