    Chevy V8 mated with a TF727 M880

    :ditto: a set of performance heads, carb, intake and cam will bring a 318 to life! a 360 too. I can't relate to pricing from Denmark, but $8000 for a motor! ouch PS Batco, my grandparents came to the USA from Copenhagen

    Bought a M880!

    LOL! You will likely find that the fast idle will still work in the summer! The fast idle cam not releasing is quite common on these.

    Dip Stick Measurement

    I've been trying to remember during the day to go out and measure it. The civilian 318 dip stick is the same. 6 quarts with a filter run it & let it sit a few and where the oil is is the full mark.

    Thinking of Buying a M36A3

    I too sometimes think of buying a M36A3 * They are rare, I can see it selling for 9k as far as trouble spots vs the 'short bed' M35, con: much larger turning radius pro: smoother ride M36's have a reinforced frame * Making it a quad cab, using a M35A3 bed, add AC and it's fun for the whole...

    Correct trailer for a M1009

    I pull my M101A2 with my Jeep Cherokee, tows like a dream. for a M1009 I'd put a frame mounted receiver hitch on it.

    gutted 5 ton front housing

    I would think a 3/8" plate would do the trick, 1/2" would be better. It may be strong enough without, but it would cheap insurance.

    Another M1009 towing capacity question

    Matt, I'm confused, you said you replaced the pintle with a 15k reese, which is a frame hitch right? If not I know a guy that can fab up a nice frame hitch ;-) The bumper setup and the 3.08 gears are the problems for towing. Trans cooler will help. Might want to use low range around town with...

    84 x 84 is not for a pickup.

    M880 grille mounted number plates

    4 is the number, this is defined in the -10 manual although current Army convoy regs (so I've been told) require all vehicles in the convoy to list the #'s for the heaviest vehicle in the convoy. Hence the common "69"

    XM818A2w/w

    Thumper in the morning

    LOL Sometimes when the M880 on 36" Humvee tires has been sittin' especially when cold out, It'll knock your teeth loose while bouncing right off the road (slight exageration). Nothing like a old cold bias ply, lol.

    Port Huron, MI area CUCV help needed

    A friend of mine in St Clair, MI. has a M1009 for plowing. As he is a Classic Chevy car guy he knows his 12v small & big blocks very well. Diesel & 24v, well that's different. I have no 6.2 CUCV experience, but it's camo & he knows I have MV's. yet I am over 3 hours away from his location. He...

    updated radial tire vs. bias ply tire

    I like my radials [thumbzup] They ride & handle so much better on the road! & I kinda like the looks of 'em. NDT's are bias ply and are very hard. Due to the center bar they are not good on wet and/or snowy pavement. Sipping or grooving will help. NDT's, aired down, will go through some snow.
