Initially, after obtaining my M1028 and installing a 5" lift, I ran my custom Firestone split rims and 11.00/20 NDT's. After I had my back surgery, I took off the 20's and installed a set of HMMWV wheels and tires to get the truck a little closer to the ground to help me getting in and out. I...

Ditto on what Rick said. I suggest you rebuild that front axle all the way through. You don’t have to be a certified mechanic, the step-by-step procedure is in the Technical Manuals ( short for “TMs ). The first time I tore into a GM front axle back in the 1970’s I was scared shirtless. But once...

Sorry for the mix-up on the YouTube link. I fixed it! Enjoy!

For you guys wanting to see an ultimate overlanding CUCV, check out Joe Grant’s machine in Utah. Joe is a great guy, a US service member, and has assembled what I think is one of the best-equipped trucks on the planet. Enjoy.

The crank pulley seems to be the weak design in the CPI kit. It is a strong casting, however when bolted to the crank through the OEM pulley as designed it will not align properly with the compressor pulley. I had to get my machine shop to produce a special 3/4"-thick spacer in order to make...

Here is the link to the thread on the hand throttle. I haven't yet installed mine, but will post photos when I do. Those things are regularly on Ebay. Not sure if there are any on there now. Search HMMWV throttle and see what pops up. Hope this helps...

Just drill thu dam thangs.

I have one of those HMMWV kits and I plan on installing it in my M1028. I’ll post some photos when I get back to my computer tomorrow.

Mike the important thing to remember is to align the pulleys so your belt will run straight, smooth, and cool. I believe most guys don't even think about this and then wonder why their belts squeal and then break after a short time. When I assembled the front of my P400, I aligned every single...

I wish I had your drill press.

I had to look back at my photos from 2011. When the ORD shackle flip is installed the rear axle is rotated. This causes the bottom shock mounting tabs, welded on the axle tube, to also rotate and therefore not allow the shock to attach to the top shock mounting stud on the frame. The way I...

You are going to need to reposition the tabs on the axle tube in order for the PS shock to work.

It is absolutely paramount that the TV cable is adjusted correctly. Here is a link - https://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/700r4%20cable%20adjustment%20instructions.pdf

Yeah that’s the turn signal switch. GM part #1997985. Google it.

YAS SAH !!!!

What floor insulation did you use? I plan on adding it to my floor when I install my P400 / 700R4 / NP241. Looks great, by the way. I used the same floor liner and that heat gun will be your friend. I wish I had some of those seat covers.

Whenever I see a photo like this it makes me sad. Sad for the truck owner because he doesn’t realize the damage that been caused as a result of his “fun”. And he also doesn’t realize the time, effort, and cost of repairing the damage. I bought my first 4WD in 1970, a brand new Toyota...

You might want to read my post regarding that Nostalgic A/C. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/post-2224882 Hope this helps.

Correction - because there is always one engine revolution of each piston on the compression/combustion stroke which does not require outside air, my calculations were exactly double what is actually needed. At 2000 RPM therefore a volume requirement of air would be almost 220 CFM. This makes...

Today while doodling around on my calculator I began to think about how much fresh air is required for our original 6.2 naturally-aspirated engines to operate (or any engine for that matter). I was reminded from my early high school engine class that all engines (non-turbo) must suck in the air...
