Did you lock the hubs? They're manual.Drove the M1008 in the snow the performance wasn't what I expected. I dont think it even went into 4 high.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Fuel filter, it was about a year old as I always mark them with a date when I replace them. All is good now after a 10 mile test drive.I still have my M1031 that I need to fix, it either as a running problem with engine speed or the transmission is bad. I know my IP is OK as there are not fragments inside it as I checked, but the injectors may be bad and the cause of the resistance in engine speed. It does idle rough, so I am going to dig into that, replace them and go from there before I spend $1000 on a rebuilt TH400.
YesIs that what death wobble feels like perhaps?
It's death wobble. Get new kingpin springs and bushings. It's an easy job too. 99% of the time the springs are just too worn to keep enough pressure on the bushing. With big tires an added I/8" thick washer and new spring will do the trick.Good to know. I'm starting to think I shouldve got a M998 instead as I know more about those than I do on with the CUCV. I'm more than a little behind on the learning curve with these. But I'm learning... The visor does have a sticker but its too cooked to read all that clearly. So looks like I'll be inspecting steering components sometime today or whenever I happen to end up having time. Thanks for the help so far guys.
Well, you are definitely in the right place to ask questions if you get stuck, confused, or have a question the TM's don't answer. Here is your opportunity to start learning a new machine.Good to know. I'm starting to think I shouldve got a M998 instead as I know more about those than I do on with the CUCV.

Look at the -34P TM figure 101 item 18 is the spring and parts that need replaced.Ive been getting some great advice via PM. Ill probably be ordering replacement parts tonight.
There's a guy on my local craigslist selling some doors made by these guys. They might be able to help.Got my auxillary lighting installed... Some Rigid Industries D series lights (with green covers) behind my grill... a couple of Anzo 7" HID lights up on my safari rack and also some Walmart cheapos pointed towards the rear... Installed my switches on my .50 cal ammo box console... Also went on a junkyard hunt yesterday... picked up some drip rail molding retainers... a spare tire carrier (with matching 8 lug steel wheel) and some doors off a blazer... Might get started on cutting up the doors and fabing up some square tube doors tomorrow... *** Question for my peeps on here... where could I find door latches for my doors??? Like the ones that are on the aftermarket off road round tube doors...
