    Questions about an '86 CUCV

    Motors are basically the same except j code intake, no emissions. Both are gutless turds, think Prius of that era. That is just a tall cap that was on either an m1008 or 1028. The m1010 did not have a pickup bed. The box was separate & had a walk thru. Cab had hole cut in between seats.

    M1102 - R16.5 Tire and Wheel weight

    FYI the 16.5's don't have a safety bead, air pressure is critical without beadlock.

    M1102 - R16.5 Tire and Wheel weight

    Yes, stock wheels are 12 bolt, 2 piece wheels. Most tire shops won't touch them (they claim liability issues). You will have to disassemble the wheel to get tire & run flat off. Then you can just drop your 33 on there, bolt it back together & your good. Remember low air pressure you can loose a...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The reason I asked is because in that second pic you posted, those fittings aren't crimped. One piece screws on counterclockwise to the hose then the second part screws into the first. Post some pics when you get them swapped over. Edit: Thanks for the catalog link !

    Issues with SF-97

    I completely understand what your saying doghead. What gets me is the many on here that freak out & want a thread locked because someone mentions title & hmmwv in the same thread. Opposite of you, I prefer to have both a bill of sale & a title because some of the leos & city employees around...

    Issues with SF-97

    Goes all over the road only when wet

    Then you pretty much answered your own question. Look your suspension (all 4 corners) over really well. Check bushings & ball joints & get a 4 wheel alignment done.

    Help cucv 6 lug rear axle

    Sounds like that g80 (govbomb) grenaded & tore everything else up with it. Bet an early 70's 12 bolt axle was swapped in. The spring pads have different widths and the 1/2 ton axle will have the pads welded farther apart than the original. Like you mentioned shock mounts are opposite also...
