    Oil Cooler Question, M113/M125A1 APC

    So I bought this oil cooler from the local Surplus store, guy didn't know what it fit, or from what vehicle it was from. Made a deal and came home with it. Trying to use it as the oil cooler for my M37 project, but running into issues with the thread size on the cooler itself. NSN #...

    Converting front D44 to lock out hubs

    I've never done the part time conversion kit, so I can't say one way or the other how it will perform. In theory, yes, by unlocking the front axle and converting to part time, you will reduce driveline drag, because now your only turning the rear axle, and driveshaft. However, having owned many...

    Converting front D44 to lock out hubs

    Technically, yes, swapping tcases would result in part time 4wd. But, because of the design of the axle hubs used in the M880 series trucks, you would still have the front axle turning. The locking hubs swap was intended to utilize the axle I had, and making it work with a drive train swap I had...

    16.5 Budd Rims?

    IIRC, there's a guy on G741 selling weld in centers for HMMWV rims. He's in Texas, so shipping would suck, but an option

    M66 Gun Ring Armor

    Thanks to Derrickl112, finally have that M66 ring on hand. Next order of business is to build some armor for it. Looking to build armor that covers 360 degrees, with ballistic glass front and back. With steel sides, that can be modified with glass as more is aquired. Question is, how exactly...

    Repower Radiator Options

    So finally got this done. After a lengthy discussion with the local radiator guy, ended up having my original radiator re-cored, as well as having the upper inlet flipped and moved to driver side, and lower one made larger to accommodate the water pump input size. Once I get my engine...

    Cucv alternator as a welder?

    Had the same idea, only I mounted it on my '78 Chevy. After it failed, I kept an eye out for a real welder, ended up with a Dodge M887, with welder intact. Try Craigslist, may find a deal on a small gas welder

    Cucv alternator as a welder?

    I would save your money, and alternator, and just buy the welder/alternator. I have done this, and it works, for a short time. Used a 65amp Delco 27si case, off an old dump truck, rebuilt the inside, converted using plans found online. Did it weld, yes, pretty good, lasted an entire 6010 3/32...

    Redi Sleeve Shifter Shafts

    I'm just gonna reseal, redi sleeve the yokes, and run it. I may end up rebuilding it down the line, but other than leaking seals, the bearings seem tight, not alot of lash. We'll see how it holds up, hear they don't like high speeds,

    Redi Sleeve Shifter Shafts

    That's what I was wondering. All the rebuild threads I've found online give part numbers and quantities, that being 2 shaft seals, and corresponding redi sleeves. I've been trying to figure out how they'd work, being a linear action. At this time, I'm not looking to replace the rails, just...

    Redi Sleeve Shifter Shafts

    I'm getting ready to reseal my tcase, and been thinking on how to install these on the shift rails, and where at? I know these guys aren't long enough to cover all positions, so I assume I install them when the shafts are at 2hi position. Thanks

    Beadlock & Lift Kit M880 ?

    I'm running 37" HMMWV Goodyears on stock M880 rims, no lift, however I had to do little fender modifications to allow this, plus change to p/s because the pitman arm and tire were trying to share the same place. Still rubs on draglink when turning to right,

    The Official m101-series-bed-on-a-pickup-truck pics thread

    I've always wanted to try one out, I'd think for a dually truck, it would look good, just have to measure, see how everything would line up
