    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Installed and adjusted fan belts, now the Gen 2 light no longer flickers on and off (note to self replace Gen 1 light that never goes on). Also I must get my cig lighter housing out of the box and installed.

    37" Hummer Tires & Wheels on M1008

    Sergeant why are you trying to sugar coat this?

    37" Hummer Tires & Wheels on M1008

    Why do you say a "lifted truck [is] more trouble than [it's] with"? I was planning to lift my M1008 5" to 6" and slide the 37"ers under it but I have never done this before. What problems will I be creating?

    Cucv tires and rims

    My next question would be, can you put run flats on those rims?

    Cucv tires and rims

    I don't know Corporal. I have seen threads that talk about re-centering the Hummer wheels (what ever that is) but I don't know if the wheels just bolt up without spacers. BUT if we keep this thread going maybe someone with more knowledge/experience will jump in.

    This thread is almost 5 years old. What did you end up with ? I am looking at going the same route.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    With lots of help from my nephew got my new starter RE-installed with the proper tail bracket. Keeping my fingers crossed that will fix my starting problems without shims.

    M1008 cracked head off starter

    Switched out the relay under the dash (easiest thing to do and dry even in the rain) but same same. So this Saturday, with help, I'll look into it... now that I had it towed home again. Just off hand I think my M1008 was from a mechanized unit and not a ranger unit because it seems to ride...

    M1008 cracked head off starter

    HELP! I replaced my tired starter with a new gear reduction starter and everything worked great... for a couple of weeks. Then I got in and turned the key to get nothing. I thought maybe it was me and tried a second time to again have it work perfectly. That was a few days ago and things...

    Any MV vehicle that is newer than July 1st 1985 is illegal in the state of Georgia per the currently laws. You may have a registration and license plate today but the state has every right to revoke your registration and you will have to go to court to get your rights back. Now weigh the...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I too find I have started a parts collection I may not need but need the parts I do not have. For now however I find I am in need of a starter bracket, having had "modified" mine yesterday to fit a new starter (but would I would like to be able to rebuild the old one for a spare). So please...

    M1008 cracked head off starter

    When I bought my CUCV I was told it would need a starter someday. So I bought a new starter on E-bay but put off that someday but now I think that day is here, slow cranking and draining the batteries in two attempts to start at 10 seconds each. Any last minute words of wisdom before I crawl...

    Starting problems...again

    I was the one using the term "mil spec" both GPs and GP relay were advertized online as "military surplus" (and you know they can't lie on the internet, lol). The relay was identical to the one that was in there except it didn't rattle. Even though the GPs looked and fit the same I was a little...

    Starting problems...again

    IT'S ALIVE! Well it was. Yesterday I replaced the last GP and she fired right up running just fine. Took her out for a spin and even took her out into a field in 4H (she would not go into 4L but that's another problem). This mornin I got back in her ... turned the key... Wait light came on...
