    CUCV - air conditioner transplant?

    Here is a link for the 7 blade GM fan. I like this one because it is steal and not the flex version. I have seen the plastic flex versions in HMMWV get shredded from fording or being hosed down (while engine running) in the wash racks.:shock: GM Fan Blade 18 Inch Steel - Fan Blades, Fan...

    CUCV - air conditioner transplant?

    I can suggest two things for sound and thermal insulation. The first is Peel & Seal found in the roofing section in Lowes. It is just like Fatmat, but a lot cheaper. I have read forums from car restoration enthusiasts that use it instead of Fatmat, and the reviews on Lowes are all from car...

    Crazy about the new M-ATV

    I just checked my photo library from Afghanistan (got back in Feb 2011) and I thought I took a picture of a M1151 parked next to M-ATV's with a RG-33 next to the M-ATV. I remember how it showed perfectly how big the trucks have gotten, but I must not have had my camera :( I agree with the...

    Axel upgrades and turbo are on my wish (to do) list. I read a thread on another site and he used two 6.2 gaskets on the turbo side. Here is the link in case it helps Turbo a 6.2 with 6.5 parts - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC Diesel Truck Forums

    Dual Voltage Alternator

    A little background info first. The HMMWV is a 24v system and not a hybrid like ours, but some HMMWV versions had 200amp and 400amp dual 24v/12v alternators:? I found the reason behind this was to provide power to the transmission controller when the transmission became electronically...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Cup Holders Did you make those yourself or did you re-purpose them and paint them. Either way I like the look and robust design. If you did make it would you be willing to make more? If you bought it could you provide a link?

    Starter went out..........so I thought.

    I always like "Hope for the best, Plan for the worst." Good thing you had a spare starter on hand or that trouble shooting could have cost a few pennies more. I need to start collecting spares for my M1009. Good catch on the battery. [thumbzup]

    M1009 Window Regulator Wanted

    I went to the local junkyard here in FL and although they didn't have it in stock they were able to order it. I received it the next day and it was 68.90 out the door with tax. I've had it in my M1009 for 3 days and it is working great.
