Don't know why you are wheeling on ATV trails...but since you plan on getting crazy just to wheel them, get a Jeep Cherokee. The engine and transmission conversion parts are already available. Novak Jeep Conversions - Home http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/engine_mounts/mmxj1.htm...

I have 2 1/2 inch straight pipes with glass packs...its pretty loud, but I like it that way. Fun watching people jump when I roar by.

I like the 6.2 the way it is. I don't do a whole lot of mud bogging, wheel speed isn't everything.

4Lo.com :: Gear Ratio & Tire Size Chart 35's with 3.90 will be nearly the same as 31's with 3.08 I would go higher if you are going to get bigger.

Weird... Mine gets 13 city, 16 highway. I'm going to put a suburban tank in mine.

I'm pretty happy with my slightly modified M1028. The front locker can get annoying though, right now I cruise around in 4wd because its icy on the back roads. Turning on dry pavement sounds and feels nasty.

That usually doesn't mean a hub problem. Usually it is one of the rear driveshaft u-joints is bad. It could also just be the extra play from the detroit locker, if you were on any sort of uneven ground it will be more apparent.

Huh? More like fluids weren't kept up with. Heat is the enemy of everything you listed...not wheel speed.

I've only tried spinning it out on snow, it'll go sideways in 4wd :-P

You probably just have dirt and other crud in the hub, it happens.

You can always get longer u-bolts. Mine is shackle flipped with 2 inch blocks

After the glow plugs cycle I usually hold the pedal halfway down, crank it for 5 seconds, pause, and crank it again. When its super cold I cycle the plugs twice. Hasn't failed to start yet, and I don't have anywhere to plug in.

I had the same problem, two new batteries fixed it. Dead batteries can hold voltage, but have no amperage.

The CUCV manuals have that information, as well as a torque limit chart.

I cruise at 65MPH at approximately 2300RPM with 42's, which is pretty comfortable. Obviously you wont need to go that big, but grabbing a few inches more of tire will help you out. Also, I hardly ever drive this monster on the highway. Most of my driving is under 55.

It probably is the brakes. I've had the brake shoe retaining pins break inside the drum, and the spring went for a ride inside. Would squeal intermittently. Bearings tend to groan, but I guess its possible they will squeak.

You have to replace both batteries at the same time. And this doesn't even sound right at all and should be looked into, "There is an aftermarket radio installed but I'm not sure if this could be the problem since the PO didn't seem to have a problem with it. I don't think this is the case...

Same thing here. Can also feel/hear the rear end lock getting into the pedal from a dead stop.

I wonder if SAPI plates would fit inside the doors :mrgreen:

This was what I was thinking as well. The humvee up armor kit added anywhere from 1000 to 4000 pounds depending on the level. I don't think the 6.2 diesel could handle much REAL armor and still move.
