I figure my truck is being re-outfitted for a new mission. I would just change seat covers myself. It is way cheaper to order it and do it yourself. If you can pull the seat out and put it back in you can change the covers. I would look into new foam as well. Just look up pictures online of...

I was planning the 4" lift also. Do you have pics of what had to be cut? Just the bottom of the fender or inside too?

I did try the search feature. So if someone wants to say search, please just post a link to the thread. I want to go with used HMMWV tires. I would like to put information on this thread for people that search in the future. While I would like to not use spacers I would like that info here...

Does anyone know where to get the male plug for the military trailers. I am trying to tow a civi trailer. I know I have seen adapters on here but where can I get one or the parts to make one.

That is how my truck came from GL. It is a recommended mod anyway.

I know it is not essential. But I did not have a freeze plug. The fix worked until the part came in. Owens Export Services rocks. Once I found them they had the part shipped out the same day. Now I am going to take the O-ring down and get the size. Then I will get better O-ring because I hear...

I am sorry. It is all my fault. I was playing in the mud and hit a tree. The truck got a scuff on the bumper and cracked the reflector. The tree got a chunk ripped out of it. There was a chunk of tree in my brush guard. I have been proudly telling people CUCV-1 and trees-0. I guess the trees...

I put my engine rebuild on here. But if you are going to turbo then you want a stud girdle. Just Google 6.2 "Stud girdle kit". The IP's are basically the same. It may need to be turned up a little. But the marine injectors may get enough fuel. But the stud girdle kits bolts the main caps...

The fuel pump can prime itself just fine. Without looking I believe it is a solid line to the fuel pump. There is a small rubber section under the body of the truck you could tap into. The stock fuel filter is heated and has a water separator. it drains out the bottom. To top it off there is a...

The way simple minds like mine work; Standing in front of the truck looking at the engine The injection pump is top, front, and center. On your left side of the IP or the passenger side you will see a black plastic peace with hopefully a vacuum line coming of it. There is a screw that locks it...

Well the fix got me home. But the glove can't take the diesel and I have a small leak. So now the bubble gum and duct tape. I will just put some silicone into the old fuel pressure switch to plug it up. This is why I ordered two switches!

Or just run the jumper wire inside with a switch and do not worry about the card. I like the card but the switch may be a good fix until you get the card working.

This is not a permanent fix! I went to pick my son up from school and when I stopped diesel was poring out of my truck. I drove it home and opened the hood. Diesel was coming out of the fuel filter. I swapped the filter out but it kept leaking. I could see it was coming out about the middle. I...

The gaskets do not matter J code or C code. The only difference is a hole in the intake gasket for the C code emission junk. But the J code intake manifold does not have the hole for emission. So the hole in the gasket is covered by the manifold and does not matter at all. The head gaskets are...

You can talk gears and trans all you want. My M1009 will go faster than I will drive on the interstate. I have no idea what the top speed is but it is over 85MPH and you can do 85MPH and get 17MPG. Remember you are driving a truck and not a car. Slow down for turns if there a cross winds be...

The actual turbo itself? Read what is stamped on it and google it. But they should all be the same. The manifolds may be different as mentioned. Go look at them. To check a turbo for wear you would have to take it off. But for you question it does not matter they should all have the same flow rates.

Read the TM and diconnect the ground before you start.

It is very heavy when you are under the truck holding the starter up. Just remember not to drop it on your hand it really smarts. But changing the starter is something you should be able to do yourself. It would be easier if you had a buddy's driveway but you should be able to do it at your...

I have a simple mind so I just think about it as one battery. You see where the batteries are connected. So use the posts that are not connected to another battery. One is positive and the other is negative. You will also see these have cables connecting to the truck and not another battery...

Sorry the M in THM400 has nothing to do with military. Turbo Hydra-matic. It is also called the Turbo-Hydramatic. That is where it came from TH, THM is just where the hyphen is placed. When you order a rebuild kit it does not matter if you ask for a THM400 or TH400 rebuild kit you will get the...
