I just got home from registering my CUCV in the Great State of Texas. It took one full morning at a State Inspection Station, and 4 trips to the county offices over 2 days time. All said and done, as she was wrapping up the clerk said "now it is a regular three quarter ton Texas pickup truck."...

Finished relocating my M1008 from central Kalifornia to the Great Republic of Texas towing a trailer all the way. Some problems with transmission not wanting to budge when first starting in the morning (temporary fix was to overfill it). So it looks like I will get it rebuilt for the 3rd time...

But you were looking good while doing it! This is KK6OYF. I am hoping to get some communications set up in my CUCV. Some time if you could PM me I would like to get a better idea of what you've got in the box, how's mounted and what works best.

I am slowly getting my M1008 ready to bug out for Texas. This past week I went to replace the old harmonic balancer along with oil and differential fluids, SURPRISE, I added a radiator to the list. Next I want to add on a civilian ball style tow system under the back bumper. Because of larger...

She's ready for a car show!

That's an easy fix. Most military paint jobs look like they were done with rattle cans anyway.

Joshuak pic's maybe fun but I'm old and having trouble adding them to my message. 35" is about as big as you can go and still be in the wheel well. As it is even with trimming the fenders my 315/75-16E Discovers rub in the turns and while braking. To stop this I'm having to add a 2 1/2...

I'll take that as "Make do with what you've got." (Or is that a "Do what ya gota do." Another Ahab? Or is this your way of saying "lift it"? Or is she showing 35 inches? Or is this simply "Duh"? I could be reading too much into it. You may just like old time pictures.)

Yesterday I put some 35 inch Cooper's under my M1008. It's tight, infect it rubs a little then turning on a slope or braking while turning. So Monday it just might be time to look for a lift kit.

And now it begins!

Just had my Gen 2 rebuilt, TWICE. Double check the work to make sure they isolate the ground.

I never knew about that card either. Where do you get a replacement? My coolant light has come on every now and then, since the first day I got my M1008. I always thought it was a sensor somewhere that needed replacing. Come to think of it, it might still be a sensor but now I have something...

Installed and adjusted fan belts, now the Gen 2 light no longer flickers on and off (note to self replace Gen 1 light that never goes on). Also I must get my cig lighter housing out of the box and installed.

With lots of help from my nephew got my new starter RE-installed with the proper tail bracket. Keeping my fingers crossed that will fix my starting problems without shims.

Any MV vehicle that is newer than July 1st 1985 is illegal in the state of Georgia per the currently laws. You may have a registration and license plate today but the state has every right to revoke your registration and you will have to go to court to get your rights back. Now weigh the...

Now you've done it nephew... you'll see all the leaks... that's why I try to keep mine sealed in a good coat of dirt grime

I too find I have started a parts collection I may not need but need the parts I do not have. For now however I find I am in need of a starter bracket, having had "modified" mine yesterday to fit a new starter (but would I would like to be able to rebuild the old one for a spare). So please...

and you still had time to work on your uncle's M1008!

Does the starter thread ever stop? I just left the extension cord trailing from the shop out to the M1008. Now waiting on UPS to bring me my mil spec GPs and GP relay. The good news is I was able to find mil spec GP relays on Ebay at a fraction of the cost for make due products at the local...

Ready for another starting problem? I replaced the batteries on my 1987 M1008 with mil spec and had the transmission rebuilt and everything was running fine. Then it turned cold and overnight she refused to start. However unlike rsh 4364 here in central California "cold" is lows in the high...
