I hadn't heard that about steering blocks.... maybe a drop pitman arm would be a better option? Thanks for the info

No hardener.... i used mineral spirits to thin and sprayed. I had good luck in the past so i stuck w/ it

These are test fit pics. I bought these wheel spacers off of ebay. I was worried ubout the thread engagement but it came out at 9 turns so i am good. Any who... 4" of lift or 6"?????? I have a broken rear spring but have one right down the road i can get from another SS member if i choose...

I was thinking exhaust to! I guess the two yokes might be comical as well:-P

Thanks for the input guys! I called the manufacture today and he reassured me that 8 full turns of thread engagement is fine for his spacers. I looked on internet to find that he was right... for a 9/16 stud they want 8 turns... i have 9 turns before doing a final torque so i am going to...

Has anyone else purchased 2" aluminum wheel spacers and found the stock studs to be too short? I am attempting to install a set of 37" 12bolt Humvee tires & wheels with 2" spacers on my 1028... I did a quick test fit and found the stock wheel studs are about 3/8 inch recessed with the...

Yes, please, if you guys found a good source of parts please post them up. For those of you that have done this are any special tools required? Any part of a rebuild that would be a special skill? Thanks:grd:

Didn't know they were 24volt...you say the origional humvee w/ same 6.2 where 24 volt???? Bad plugs I heard of/seen on these cucv's were failed "open" none swollen yet... what kind of issue would allow them to melt? revedup, Check out this thread, gives you alot of discussion about your...

my clan of cucv owners have all done the 12v glow plug resistor bypass. My brother started the bypass band wagon after frying 8 new glow plugs when his resistor crapped out. 4 Upstate NY and 1 DE daily drivers have been modified since Oct 09 or so, no issues to date.

Use WD-40, pb might disolve your truck![thumbzup]

Doghead, Did you get your 37's and lift on? Curious to hear how it came out...

Friend of mine ended up winning this one... said he meant to bid 2600 and put 3600 inaua you would have won it if he had not bid the wrong amount! Hope that makes you feel better....:D Just keep watching, when you find one, shake the money tree![thumbzup]

May be tring to cover up a ruff idle... injectors or pump issue. If you are serious when you go back to buy it tell him not to touch it. If it is nice and cold you should be able to see the wait light, set the cold start solenoid and watch your glow plugs cycle through your volt meter then...

So much fun! old 1028 will push snow with the grill!

Anyone ever cut the front window & " Frame " out of one vehicle and weld into a wreck job like this? I haven't seen it in person yet but it looks like we may have a parts vehicle...

trying picture

My set up looked just like the pics of tlm47201 I almost think this is the thread I built them after. I bought the tubes at Harbor Freight and am now wondering if the are 2.25" or 2". If I recall the issue correctly the lift tubes are taller then they are wide. Maybe bad machining on my part...

same problem I tried the "slip over and pin" style as described above and as described above the trucks walked, jerked, slamed scared the bujeezus out of me! Would be fine for short trips and slow speed but i was on the highway for 350+ miles. I found that if you use the 5000lb tow bar...
