    1986 Camp Shelby M1008 Restoration

    Time for a new mod. My NV4500 is still doing well knock on wood. So after spotting a 6.5TD someone had pulled with a knock on craigslist, I got the itch to turbo my truck. I was able to acquire the motor and all parts associated with the turbo to be able to use it as a kit and also have a core I...

    hopefully the final nv4500 swap thread

    No manual ever came in a cucv. The bell housing we are referring to is from a stock newer model truck. All stock driveshafts will work because the length of the nv4500 is very very close to the th400

    Death wobble AGAIN!?

    I wouldnt call their stuff junk by any means. Maybe not worth the prices they ask but to each his own. But no matter how much you attempt to improve the spring design, it is just inherently not good when you mix it with large tires. As stated in my previous post, my suggestion when doing...

    Dana 60 front w/ crossover steering?

    Did you use a drop pitman arm?

    Death wobble AGAIN!?

    Hmmm. I retract my statement. With no lift and stock tires, the original design should work. I was under the assumption you were lifted. DW can only come from somewhere that has slack. In your case that is KP bushings or bearings, TREs, Drag Link ends, or steering box. I would also do quite the...

    Death wobble AGAIN!?

    Keith_J what are your M1031 specs? Lift? Tires? I looked around but was unable to find out about your truck.

    Death wobble AGAIN!?

    I went to a springless setup on mine when i did my crossover steering. Driven that way for a while now and no death wobble. Very pleased so far Edit. You and i have talked about this before. But this may be a good suggestion for you at this point because of your setup. It solved my troubles and...

    Wheel Spacers - Aluminum or Steel ?

    My apologies for "busting in" to your thread. I attempted to offer you a safer option for your vehicle. I wont make that mistake again. There are ways to run hmmwv rims without spacers that is again much safer and much cheaper. Ill let you figure that out on your on. As much work as you put into...

    Wheel Spacers - Aluminum or Steel ?

    I run the 8.25s. I wouldnt go much wider on the 37s in that wheel because they were tough to mount. They look and ride great on the narrower wheel. And my wear pattern looks perfect after 5000 miles of road driving

    Wheel Spacers - Aluminum or Steel ?

    I run US Wheel Stealth line. They have them in stock on summit's website.

    Wheel Spacers - Aluminum or Steel ?

    Is there any particular reason you are wanting to run hmmwv wheels? A set of steelies in the correct back spacing from someone like summit racing seems like the safer and probably cheaper idea. I know people run them without issues, but i just dont like the idea of wheel spacers. Too many...

    NV4500 install in stock M1028?

    Generator test

    Id take the large black wire off and use a jumper cable or jumper wire and jump from the negative pole to the negative post on the battery. That wire could have a short in it. Edit: short....idk what im thinking. Grounds dont short. But you could have a bad ground. Thats what i meant.

    http://bob_skelly.home.comcast.net/~bob_skelly/alternator_conversion/wiring_alternator1.html good read. Not quite the same alternator but same concept

    Generator test

    Quite the challenge. Something must be wrong with the voltage sense wiring. I believe its possible the module in the alternator is bad. Try this. Crank the truck, then unplug the two pronged plug on the alt. May not make a difference. But it could.

    making the truck road worthy

    Before you go removing your bed, let me tell you what I did. I had to replace my tank due to it having a hole rubbed in it. To get it out I clipped the fuel sending unit wire and took a broomstick with a knife taped to it and reached thru the fender and cut the 3 fuel lines. When I put it back...

    Have you measured the voltage across the two posts on the drivers side alternator in normally hooked up conditions?
