The wood model fit perfectly, so the next step was to duplicate the design in steel, 1 for the drivers seat and another with the tabs on the opposite sides for the passenger seat -

Next I sat the HMMWV seat in the truck and spaced it up with blocks of wood to get it to the height it needed to be. This was determined to be around 2 inches above the cab bottom, so I fabricated a wooden frame from 1" x 1-1/2" stock and determined how the tabs had to be added to align with...

Well while I am accumulating the cash for my 700r4 swap, I decided to proceed with installing new HMMWV high-back seats. The first step in this process was to, ahem, remove the darn factory bench. I got this out easy enough, then I established a centerline mark on the cab bottom to align with...

Here's a question - the tach shown in the photo requires internal illumination. Do the later HMMWV tachs have translucent housings for external illumination like the latest HMMWV gauges?

Perfect.

I am also removing the bench seat and in the process of installing new HMMWV high-back buckets, so the more-rearward M1010 might work. Wonder where I can see a photo of the M1010 lever? Better yet, wonder how I can find one of those folk which have changed their M1010 levers for stock? I plan...

I am thinking about designing and installing an auxiliary HMMWV gauge panel cluster to be mounted on the transmission hump of my M1028, between the heater outlet and the NP208 gear selector lever. Only problem is, the selector lever is angled so severely forward that there is hardly enough...

What you need is a HMMWV throttle positioning cable which mounts to the accelerator pedal. So easy a caveman can do it. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?89099-Hand-throttle-install-Pics

To follow-up what Chaski said, every transfer case has a Drive Gear and a Driven Gear to produce the correct speedometer cable revolutions-per-mile from the transfer case to the speedometer. The Drive Gear is installed when the transfer case is assembled at the factory and cannot be changed...

6.5 Hmmwv engine in CUCV? Just curious to know if anyone has had experience installing a non-turbo 6.5 HMMWV engine into a CUCV? I am specifically interested in such things as: * What wiring modifications would be required? * What to do regarding the dual CUCV alternators? * Is there room for...

Has anyone had any experience using a HMMWV speedometer cable in a CUCV? My stock cable is so short the cluster must be in place first and then I have to snake my hand up behind the dash to connect it to the back of the gauge. A real pain. If the cable was a little longer it could be attached...

Maybe too technical of a question?

Just curious to know the number of revolutions it takes for our CUCV speedometers to register one mile. I'm planning on rebuilding my NP208 and I want to make sure I install the correct speedometer drive gear and driven gear & sleeve so the speedometer will read correctly with my 37.5 tire size...

I'm getting close to doing this and plan to photo document the entire process in my rebuild thread and include GM part numbers where applicable. I've been accumulating parts for several months and almost ready to pull the trigger. The single most difficult part to obtain will be the factory TV...

I recently installed 12-bolt HMMWV wheels on my M1028. The wheels are 8-lug, which means they will not work on the OP's M1009, so spacers will be useless.

I am indeed going with a built-up 700R4 from Mad Dog Transmissions in Cummings, Georgia - http://maddogtransmissionexperts.com/home/2665592 I have also decided to simply go into my NP208 and change the female imput to 27 spline to match the output shaft of the 700R4. Because my truck has only...

Reply to 86m1028 - I haven't moved the front axle back to stock location yet because my back hasn't stopped hurting. This is on the list to be done but will probably be grouped with the transmission work. Thanks for asking.

Latvius, would you be so kind as to explain the purpose of the different color bulbs and their location in the instrument panel? Thanks in advance.

Tim - Wow. Your level of technical expertise is light years ahead of mine. I sincerely appreciate your comments and hope that some readers can use the information you provided. Based on all the comments, I have decided to simply install 12 volt LED bulbs in my instrument lighting sockets...

Yeah Recovery, I'm thinking 700R4 might have to be next. I already have a factory tv bracket and OEM tv cable, as well as the correct taller case adapter. And I know where I will buy the rebuilt tranny. However I am still struggling with what to do about the transfer case. The 700R4 output shaft...
