    need alignment advice. Got alignment. Now have Death Wobble. What to do?

    I put new TRE's on mine and it still did it. Did a yard tape alignment and it stopped. The shop screwed my alignment up, they used the specs for a 1989 IFS Chevy truck. I'm good now too. I had already rebuilt my entire front axle.

    Fred Williams has another CUCV - Check out the cool video from Dirt Everyday segment

    They took the 550 hp engine out of it. Put it in the 2015 Ultimate Adventure Willys. That's a shame, that was a nice M1008...

    It will be worth a lot more leaving it stock.

    Operating temp

    Mine will go up to 220 if I am going 70mph up the hill. If I slow down it goes down quick. If I drive slower it stays lower. This is an M1008 with 37's. This was last weekend in Arizona 103 degrees where I was out side too. With my add on AC running.

    M1009 with 35" tires no lift.

    I have 37's on a M1008 with 4" of lift and I had to really cut into the rear of the fender and weld a patch piece back in. No rubbing now.

    Headlight / Blackout Light switches

    That is what I did but I don't remember which ones either. Just made a small wire and connect 2 terminals and the switches are gone.

    Anyone have a fuel pump push rod break in half?

    I did, looks like a cast part and it broke right in the middle. I'll post photos in the AM but is seems weird that a shaft in a bore would literally break in half. 80K miles. GM still had new ones available.
