    Spewing diesel above engine

    Okay, quick update. I found a manual on other page and made a little sense out of things. I did see the 8 ? hard lines in circle distribution and I don't believe it was those. So like you are all saying, is there a rubber hose that feeds that injector pump tucked away in there? Mine is a 1984...

    Spewing diesel above engine

    Thanks guys. It happened right before I left town and had to just shut hood and roll eyes. Thought I could get some quick help before I am back to investigate more. The truck was not used for some time and mouse nest in same spot now soaked with diesel. I noticed multiple hard lines in...

    Spewing diesel above engine

    Hey guys just wondering if I can get some quick advice so I can narrow my focus. My CUCV K30 6.2l is spewing/pulsating fuel below the air cleaner assembly, more specifically below the air manifold sort of between the valve covers and shooting in a rearward direction towards firewall. What is...

    Largest tire size for cucv m1008 stock vehicle

    I know this is old, but maybe someone can answer this. isn't stock rim 16" ? aren't ALL hummer tires that I see on the military tire sites for 16.5" rims? Am I missing something? also, someone mentioned you might be able to squeeze a narrow 36" tire with no trim and no lift and little to no...

    M1008 w/37" Humvee tires: highway cruising speed?

    maybe nothing if my truck looked as good as yours! I am intrigued by your wheels and tires...do you have connections? or are those available to anyone? can you tell me where to buy them? Also, would they be okay for some gooseneck towing? Do you know approximate load bearing rating? thanks...

    M1008 w/37" Humvee tires: highway cruising speed?

    I am trying to research larger tires for my CUCV and I am getting overwhelmed lol Can anyone steer me right? I am searching and trying to find prior threads. One quick question, I don't really want to lift the truck but want the larger tires. I don't want to trim the fenders. It looks like the...

    Intro, new here

    Can anyone answer some quick questions? I suspect they might be common ones. My goal is mild off roading, possible goose neck pulling, and comfortable 75 cruising. If I turbo the stock engine and go 1 or 2 steps taller gearing and aftermarket transmission...do my goals seem reasonable? I know it...

    Intro, new here

    Thanks. Yeah, I figure I would keep the body so it could always go back...but really want the pickup. The low miles and lack of rust etc and good price seem well worth it. I was not finding comparable 1008...but I fully acknowledge your point. I take really good care of my stuff and liked the...

    Intro, new here

    Hello everyone, I have never been in any branch of armed forces but I am looking to get a CUCV pickup and learn about them here. I hope I am still welcome. I was looking at a low mileage 1031 with thoughts of swapping the utility body for a pickup bed on back...bad idea? Also the ad says...
