    CUCV Do's & Dont's

    IMHO THIS IS WRONG. New Venture suggests 80W90 weight gear oil ever since the np205 was released.. The military starts using the np205 in the M1031 and others and changes the reccomended fluid from 80W90 gear oil to ATF.

    1031 to shelter carrier dually conversion

    The stud holes in non dually trucks M1008, M1028 M1031 (all eight of them with the 8 x 6.5 bolt pattern ) have a different ID (inside diameter) than the rotors of trucks with dually rear axles M1028A3. What about this do you not understand? The stud hole size would matter when attaching the...

    1031 to shelter carrier dually conversion

    Dont know if you have considered this but the rotors from a m1008, m1031, m1028 are different from a dually m1028a3 truck. The rotors from a m1028a3 have smaller stud holes than the m1008 etc front rotors. I have the book if you want the stud hole dimentions.

    CUCV with NP205 transfer cases

    Since the box in question makes the transmission transfer case assembly longer and I would assume you are planning a upgrade from the np208 to the np205. The only reason I would assume and or suggest this is if your spending almost 2000.00 on a ord magnum box or anyone elses doubler I...

    Ford relay vs direct switch for manual glow plugs

    I gutted the automatic system as I did not desire to have a complicated automatic system that always needed attention. My modifications to date have worked fine and I dont have any issues.. The simple relays I have used have 4 places for wires to hookup, 2 for power ie 1 pos 1 neg... wires to...

    Ford relay vs direct switch for manual glow plugs

    I put a std relay in the cucv trucks I own that are still diesel 2 out of 4 and I have had no problems with them...Ive always thought the orginal system was way too complicated and made it much more simple with just a relay and a momantary switch.. Just hold it for 5 or 6 seconds and turn the...

    u joint for m1008 front axle??

    That item is a little different than you posted in the first post...Since the front axle does have u joints in it it would be safe to assume you wanted a u joint from the front dana 60 axle but from the picture of the front driveline I see that is what you want the U joint for is this correct...

    Power Steering Pulley Question

    And I suspect the reason for the difference in sheave sizes on the same pulley has to do with the ability to tighten the belts and have them have the same degree of tightness and to be able to run at one rpm on the same system.I experienced a fun time when I deleted the drivers alt when doing a...

    New M1031 owner with a NP205 Transfer Case Rebuilt question

    If the pto thats being talked about is the one that came on the np205 in the m1031 it most likely wouldnt be the correct ratio for a splitter pump operated either direct mount or via a shaft to a remote mounted pump.. From memory of the m1031 pto its a 180% drive ratio.. If the OP would list...

    New M1031 owner with a NP205 Transfer Case Rebuilt question

    As to the twin stick mod on the np205 The danger is only there if you pull the shuttle pins that keep the tc from going into front low and rear high or the opposite... you can twin stick it and not have issues just dont pull the shuttle pins one in the front and one on the rear they run the...

    Theres always the Motorola 102 inch wip antenna, Its designed for the 27 and there abouts band. CHP is on 42 mhz and they use a similar antenna.. Its all in the tuning.... Their mentality about telling the op to search is akin to teach a man to fish feed him for a lifetime etc.
