Well, I will add my 2 cents.

Well, I know a lot of y'all are gonna think I am crazy, and maybe I am, but I am thinking about fabricating a slant-back cover for my M1028 truck. I need a secure steel cover under which to lock stuff up but can't bring myself to installing a POS aluminum truck cap. I priced a couple...

When will it ever stop? It will never stop. I gave up trying to keep track of expenditures of my rebuild around the time I purchased the new hood. It's OK though, it's only play money. I'm spending my daughter's inheritance.

I use Stanadyne additive exclusively. I add 8 ounces at every fill-up. I buy it from Amazon and really don't care what it costs. You see, I'm spending my daughter's inheritence.

Does SS have a way to block a thread so I never have to see it again?

I just could not get comfortable with Mad Dog Transmissions. Every time I spoke with them on the phone they seemed arrogant and condescending. I emailed them a couple times but no response. So I decided to check their feedback score on Ebay, and Bingo! Only a 92.9% positive rating! Such a...

No photos yet, but I am working on building and mounting a HMMWV gauge cluster in a custom housing on the transmission tunnel between the heater outlet and transfer case lever. I purchased a replacement lever out of a M1010 which is angled backwards and will therefore provide sufficient...

OK folks, I am ready to get rid of my TH400 and install a 700R4. I already have the factory TV bracket, new GM OEM TV cable, correct tall GM 14038663 adapter, and a good used 27-spline input for my NP208 transfer case. In fact, the only thing I don't have is the 700R4 tranny itself. And this...

Looking good. Kinda reminds me of me.

ballencd - I had to get the truck a little lower to the ground for easier ingress & egress in preparation for my next back surgery. Don't worry, I still have those 20's and may reinstall them after I recover fully. So I purchased 6 excellent 12-bolts and completely disassembled them...

What's wrong with the OEM unit furnished in the M1028s? Unless I am mistaken it is a Dana TracLoc which is a clutch-pack unit. Sure works great for me.

The factory bench seat was unbearable. 2 back surgeries, 2 hip replacements, and a knee replacement brought me to either changing the seats or selling the truck. I looked around and sat in the new high back HMMWV seats and really liked them, so I fabricated custom frames. I posted a...

Fabricated custom seat frames and installed new HMMWV high-back seats in my M1028 -

OK here is the finished product with the new HMMWV seats installed onto the custom seat frames. Sooooo much more comfortable than the factory bench. By the way the discoloration on the seat is pure sweat. Now I plan to design and build a custom console and will post additional photos as the...

PM sent.

Hi Rich; The slides come with the HMMWV seats, so if you wanted to try to use them under your suburban seats you would need to find a source for just the slides. You would also need to fabricate custom frames like I did. I am confident the M1009 frames would need to be different than the...

Here are the new seat frames and HMMWV seat adjusters bolted in the truck. I will post more photos tomorrow after i get the seats installed. Note the new HMMWV seat belts!

After I got the HMMWV seat adjusters properly fastened onto the steel seat frames, I took them back off and painted the frames with 383 CARC Substitute -

I then media blasted and primed both seat frames and fit the new HMMWV seat adjusters onto them with self-threading bolts -
