    M1031 Build Thread

    Thank you for the writeup of options. I've probably scrolled and read through about 6 hours of posts here on SS about AC systems and about M1031s. I have found info about the controller and I've messaged the member on here who programs them. Maybe they still do it.

    It could... but the frame on that dually was torched. So I would have to swap the axles if I really wanted it to be a dually.

    M1031 Build Thread

    That's what I'm planning on doing, swapping an ambulance system into mine. I found a person that is parting out a CUCV M1010 and I'm getting the compressor, brackets, etc, but someone had swapped the truck to 12v and removed the brackets for the passenger side alternators and replaced them with...

    I started to calculate the amount of hours required to fix the rust and damage to the cab, fenders, etc and came to the realization it would be easier to just replace the whole part. I’m purchasing a squarebody dually from a friend of mine next week and going to swap the whole cab, fenders, etc...

    A contact of mine had a CUCV generator, control panel, and relay panel for sale. One of my relays was missing and their panel had it. Sadly for me they wanted to keep everything together, so I now have an extra generator, control panel, and relay panel. I’ve read some on here about an updated...

    What’s next? The glow plug system doesn’t work at all. Haven’t started diagnosing the system yet. The 24v system is working properly. There is rust at the top of the rockers and the cab corners are rusted out. The fenders were cut to fit the 37s and they are damaged. The doors are damaged too...

    M1031 Build Thread

    I purchased this vehicle expecting to put a $50 fuel pump in it and have a decent vehicle. Instead, I had to replace a $700 injection pump. I had a spare core IP in my parts bin and I took it to the best rebuilder in the area (which does most all of the local military IP rebuilds). The 6.5GEP...

    M1031 Build Thread

    I started work on the vehicle by diagnosing why they could not get the motor running. My first issue was getting the starter to work. I could hear the relay click, but there was no voltage going to the starter solenoid ignition terminal. So, I automatically assumed the relay was bad and...

    Once I got home and started doing an overview of the vehicle, I noticed some irregularities. A pleasant surprise, the motor was replaced with a HMMWV 6.5L GEP motor back in 2010. The other main irregularity was that the vehicle was on 37” HMMWV MT/Rs. To do this, the military put different rims...

    M1031 Build Thread

    I’m starting this build thread to keep myself reminded of what I’ve done to the vehicle and plans I have for the vehicle. When I can, I try to help people on this site with their vehicles, and one of the best ways I have learned how to do something for my military vehicles is simply observing...
