Very nice engineering. Most folks have no idea what's involved once you leave the OEM design. BTW, if you need any OEM parts, let me know. I have a ton, all with 15,178 original miles. I plan on listing everything in the Parts For Sale forum after I get finished with my M1028.

If you use a civilian tray on the driver's side, you will also need to use a civilian coolant recovery container & mount. Just saying...........

More progress. Got the Vintage Air lines completed and routed properly. After installing the rear battery tray, I realized that there would be no way to attach the top refrigerant line and top heater hose without both lines contacting the edge of the tray, which would ultimately lead to...

Just a heads up - if you are planning on reinstalling the rear battery tray, you will need to turn the top Vintage Air refrigerant line and top heater hose on a 90-degree to prevent the lines from contacting the tray. Those lines exit the VA firewall plate exactly behind the edge of the tray...

If you have indeed seen your damper shake, then there is no doubt that your main bearings are worn beyond spec. Adding a Fluidampr at this stage would be akin to closing the barn door after the horse got out. If I were you, I would pull that engine, strip off all the bolted-on accessories, and...

At the risk of being flamed by the majority of members on here, I will recommend against turbo'ing your 6.2. You did not state the mileage of the engine, however if it similar to other normal '84 CUCV's, it probably has plenty. The engine was designed by GM to be a reliable, efficient...

Things are really starting to come together. This past week I sanded, painted & reinstalled the inner & outer fenders. The outer fenders are a pair I got from Hillbilly a few years back which were in almost new condition, and which I had modified to provide the additional clearance necessary...

Just sent you cash per our private conversation.

Thanks for your reply. It appears that you are more knowledgeable about slave cables than I am, so I will follow your advice. I had planned on simply re-routing the 2/0 OEM cables from the slave port in the grille to the side outlets of the new Hawker battery in the rear tray instead of to the...

I've used Tom Woods Custom Drive Shafts in Ogden, UT since 1985 and have always received the absolute best in quality and service. Custom Drive Shaft Shop | Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts Hope this helps.

New? Or used? Photos?

I have converted the 24v slave outlet in the grille of my M1028 to 12v so I can jump-start other vehicles without opening my hood. I need the male end of a military slave cable so I can fabricate the 12v jumper set. I don't need the entire slave cable, just the male part that plugs into the...

Folks, Roger Johnson at gloveboxoptions.com definitely knows his stuff! My new SPID label arrived today and it is an exact copy of the label which came off my M1028. Right down to the very last detail, including the vinyl peel & stick cover. So if any of you are planning a CUCV restoration...

Bernie Vascotto at GM Archives sent me a link to all of their CUCV images which can be downloaded. Thought you folks would like to take a look and download any which you may want. Enjoy! AEM Assets | Link Share

For this specific application, I recommend white lithium grease. Before you begin the task of removing the sleeve and inspecting it and the Driven gear, you might want to review my posts in this thread - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1009-speedometer-cable-replacement.223593/post-2611030
