Can the engine and transmission of a M1009 be pulled together from the front if the front grille assembly, hood, and both outer and inner fenders have been removed? I removed the entire front grille assembly to install a condenser for air conditioning and I am tempted to add a day or two to the...

I am finally surrendering to the heat and am going to install an A/C in my M1009. Here is the plan: Install evaporator, blower, heater, and duct work from civilian Blazer. This requires minor sheet metal work on the firewall. Replace evaporator core with new and add Expansion Valve in lieu...

After sitting for about four month, my M1009 started right up. However, after about 30 seconds the engine rpm increased slightly and then the engine stopped. No more fire after that. Checked the fuel filter and verified that there is clean fuel coming to the IP. The shutoff solenoid clicks...

Just noticed that one of my sealed-beam headlights is turning into an illuminated aquarium. I think it's time to upgrade to something more modern. What headlight options exists for the CUCVs and which ones do you have/had good results with?

Last weekend I put a 700R4 with NP241C in my M1009 with 4.10 gears in a 14 bolt FF axle and 315/75R16 BFGoodrich T/A KO2 (34.5" diameter) tires. This is the truck in my avatar. I built this tranny about 2 years ago during a long, cold Montana winter but did not have the time or energy to make...

There is a HMEV for auction soon. According to the rules, I cannot say where but since this is such a rare bird, I wanted to make sure you use your google fu in time. I am not going to bid. Much more expensive and bigger than my FLU419, which gets the jobs done on our property.

I need to pick up some items from Bozeman, MT mid September and will be empty coming from Western North Carolina. Please PM if you need anything moved that is on or reasonably close to my route from Asheville to Nashville, St. Louis, Kansas City, Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Billings, Bozeman. The...

Got the SEE stuck badly in clay yesterday with only 4WD but no Diff-locks and having had a winch would have saved me about an hour of propping the wheels up and filling the ruts with brick rubble. (BTW: In order to get the front wheels raised with the weak loader, the backhoe boom and dipper...

This thread is for posting seldomly used tools that fellow SS members can borrow by paying only for shipping. After a week or two, the borrowed tool gets shipped to the next member requesting it or back to the owner. In the following post I offer my brake bleeder kit that you can reserve by...

What are the PTO speeds in LOW and HI setting (at engine idle)? I am planning to convert a M35 PTO winch to a hydraulic winch and need to pick the right motor. Thanks.

While I get my FLU419 running, it is time to think about attachments that would turn the FLU419 into a tractor substitute. I am not trying to beat a real farm tractor costing an order of magnitude more than a surplus FLU but there is enough evidence (especially on the other side of the pond)...

A fellow SS member wants to sell me his entire MEP-952B for parts. Please PM if you could pick this item up on your way to the Aberdeen Rally. Thanks.

Salem, Alabama - Pickup item and ship via FedEx/UPS Is anyone picking up a GovPlanet item in Salem, Alabama anytime soon? I would like to bid on an inverter and have it shipped to Maryland, 21921. Item weighs 58 lbs and can go via FedEx or UPS. Please PM.

Opinions/Ideas for HMMWV 6.5 Turbo camper project I sold my M998 2-man with troop carrier canvas today mainly because we have to move back to the East coast (at least for a while). Having to move this beast over 2000 miles was not an appealing proposition. On the East coast I have my own land...

Does anyone have a source for the quarter turn fasteners that hold the two-man roof down on the backside of the B-pillar/arch? What is the military name or NSN for these doohickeys? I found similar fasteners from marine supply places but I would rather install the real deal with the correct...

What are the differences between the 6.5L GEP NA and 6.5L GEP Turbo (other than the obvious addition of a turbo charger)? Is the angle of the intake headers the same and can the turbo with manifold be added to a 6.5L GEP NA engine?

I recently got a 2-man M998 with troop carrier enclosure from Hill AFB. We have been running this on trails in Montana and Idaho with the troop carrier tarp taken down and our gear stored in plastic tubs in the bed. Overnights are very comfortable under the troop enclosure with an inflatable...

Picked up my M998 (6.2L) yesterday from a IP storage yard close to Hill AFB, Utah and drove it back to Bozeman, MT. (EUC took only 1 month, possibly since my name was on file from previous approval). The truck ran great for the 380 miles except vibration from the tires and the cooling fan...

I am driving towards the end of this week from Bozeman, MT to Elkton, MD and then stay for a week in the Baltimore/Philadelphia area. My 26' box truck with loading platform will be empty on the way East and I will most likely have some capacity left coming back to MT. Let me know if you live...

After driving my M1009 (see modifications in sig line) for a while and having to redline the engine on the highway, I decided to drop in a 4 speed 700R4 with a NP241 transfer case. With this combination the highway speeds will be in the sweet spot of the torque curve. 2000 rpm will yield 73 mph...
