Thanks that's helpful. Everyone loves the tires on it now but for me personally I like wide look. Thinking about putting 36x15.5 on it. My hunting property is a lot of mud and swamp. I should be able to fit them.
M1008 suspension
So when I bought my M1008 it already had HMMWV tires on it 37"
I thought the suspension was all stock but it doesn't seem like it could be from reading the threads I've been reading.
Obviously I would guess it has spacers on the front just by looking at the hubs compared to...

Its a M1008 1984
I believe steering is stock
91000 miles
6 inch lift
started wobble for me when i was in stop and go traffic doing about 15-20mph
My wife said did it to her at slow speed too. When I stopped and took off again it stopped?
ITs happen now once to me and twice to my wife. Driving along and all of a sudden you would thing the wheel fell off or something. The whole truck shaking more like rocking motion like either flat tire or like your running over logs. When It happen to me I pulled over and immediately checked to...
M1008 started slipping yesterday. pulled over and checked the trans fluid. It wasn't even on the stick? I looked all over for signs of a leak but I don't see anything??? I had recently changed the filter and fluid a month ago. So it's defiantly going somewhere. Now I had one thought and I'm not...
So Ive only had my 84 CUCV M1008 on the road about 4 days now. It draws a lot of attention I've noticed especially since it still has a lot of the USMC markings. So now I'm ready to start working on the body and I debating with myself if I should keep it original green and USMC markings or just...
So from the VIN you can tell its an CUCV ? not just a K30 wana be? I'm sure it is because of all the details like NATO slave connector, horn on the grill, blackout light system, tags on the driver door and jam, pintal hitch, also I noticed what looks like some kind of mount on the floor pan of...
Thanks for all the help! They are both working now! SO I was going to take it off and change the cap inside. Once I got it off I noticed I had left the brush retaining rod in it! SO I removed the rod and quickly remounted it............. still nothing! Talk about a let down. SO I removed it...
Just got my first CUCV road worthy. Lots of work every day after work till dark for three weeks. Anyway so now I can focus on some of the body issues. Ive noticed the green paint is missing on the bed, and its blue under the green USMC paint. I was thinking maybe the bed was replaced with a...
Ok got it, thanks, I installed both alternators last night after rebuilding both. The passenger side I replaced the internal cap with a new one and used the old one on the outside. That alternator works fine . But the drivers side I still is not working. When I rebuilt it I did not replace the...
Warthog,
I think I confused everyone, I was responding to a response "if I had checked the bulb". I have followed all the wiring diagrams you provided and traced the circuit from fuse on heater to ignition to dash to firewall to alternator , The voltage is there. And on the large power wire as...
I did clean up the contacts and replaced the bulb I trace the power all the way doesn't make since. Must be a ground issue. I was thinking maybe the I need to put it all back together. I have it kind of hanging out. I can follow the power all the way from the fuse to the alternator but no light...
Awesome! Thank You,
I did manage to get them both back together and back on the truck. The passenger side was putting out 14.3V awesome right! The driver side still isn't working... dang. So I'm thinking I made a mistake. When I was rebuilding the drivers side the capacitor inside was the square...
Ok so Im rebuilding my Passenger side alternator on my 84 M1008. (NOT GROUNDED UNIT)
Is the INTERNAL capacitor the same as the one on the outside connected to the ground?
I hope this question makes since. I would like to get this back together tonight.
Only one came with my kit. Do I have to...
