    Re-Powering The Deuce With A 5-Ton LDS-465-1A Engine

    Has been covered pretty thoroughly, and it's pretty much a bolt-in. Have a brand new LDS engine that will probably never get around to using, if anyone wants it. Shoot me a private message.

    growler differentials, CV axles, knuckles

    That's disappointing. Would recommend contacting RCV (rcvperformance.com), they make the some of the highest quality aftermarket CV's available, much better than anything resembling stock/modified parts.

    growler differentials, CV axles, knuckles

    Okay thanks, that's helpful, but do you have any idea what parts they *did* use? Nobody at growler answers phone, are they out of business?

    growler differentials, CV axles, knuckles

    Okay so this is *not* resolved. Got to look over a few last week but wouldn't know how they compare to mutt parts. Can anybody positively ID the growler parts?

    growler differentials, CV axles, knuckles

    Okay thanks for confirming that. Don't know anything about the old mutts, but looks like the diffs are unique to that platform? Read about noise and low oil capacity, but what are they comparable to strength-wise? More/less fragile than early CJ parts? Looking over the growlers, chassis are...

    growler differentials, CV axles, knuckles

    Wondering if anyone can tell me what drivetrain parts the growlers use. Have been able to ID the engine, trans, and transfer case, but can't find anything about the differential, CV's, or knuckles/hubs, except for one post on forum that suggested all those parts were carried over from M151, and...

    questions about serpentine conversion

    Yes, thank you. From what understand, have a complete 'old style' serp setup, with the big cast alt / ps pump bracket. Found a clutch-pulley and am going to attempt to modify the alt mount to make it work with the old serpentine system. 603 water pump is the last revision of the high-flow 6.5L...

    questions about serpentine conversion

    Got some pictures that clearly show different offset, not sure exactly how much though. If anyone knows where might be able to find one of those pullies, please let me know.

    questions about serpentine conversion

    Using a 603 high-flow water pump with much bigger shaft, so already have to modify water pump pulley to press onto that shaft, can space tlcrank pulley and other brackets to match.

    questions about serpentine conversion

    Lemme try asking this another way. Anyone able/willing to take a measurement for me? The distance from the face of the alternator behind the fixed pulley to where the forward edge of the serpentine belt rides on the pulley is right around 2", what is that measurement with any of the over-run...

    questions about serpentine conversion

    In the middle of a serpentine conversion on my CUCV using what think are 'early' HMMWV parts, including 200amp 12/24V alternator and the big cast bracket with integrated p-pump mount. Wondering if can add a pulley with a clutch to this alternator. SS member bought parts from said he didn't think...

    re-wiring M1031 & have a few questions

    Still wondering about the wires that went from the alternators to the ICE

    re-wiring M1031 & have a few questions

    Oh, that's weird. When called to check prices and availability, local parts store wanted $60 for doghead relays and they had to order it. So went ahead and bought two of those for what thought was about the same price.

    re-wiring M1031 & have a few questions

    To clarify, will be adding second fuse panel, wired direct to power, triggered by relay. Just want to re-wire a few things in the factory fuse block to clean up the wiring for this custom application.

    re-wiring M1031 & have a few questions

    Harness connections are mostly made with wire nuts right now, so can verify everything is working right before making real connections. But would like to replace some of the lugs and fuse holders at the fuse block. Need to add a few circuits, re-route some wires, etc. Having a hard time figuring...

    re-wiring M1031 & have a few questions

    Simplicity, eliminating quirky electromagical stuff. Oh, excellent. Thanks for clarifying. No reason except when went to buy doghead relays, saw these we're higher-spec and less expensive. Why not? Thanks Again, super helpful.

    re-wiring M1031 & have a few questions

    Meh, suit youself. Not much different in that way from most other online communities, including this place. For better or worse, this is the place for military specific stuff, and pirate is unrivaled for just about anything else offroad-related.

    re-wiring M1031 & have a few questions

    Read a bit about fusible links, and some talk about replacing them with circuit breakers. Would like to do that, has anybody figured out appropriate sizes?

    re-wiring M1031 & have a few questions

    Made custom mounts for the cab and radiator grill shell. 100% bolt-on, fits great, and clears 37's without any lift.
