    Rear fuel tank m1008

    I think the brackets to the right side you will have to weld some nuts to it. I did this because I couldn't find right side brackets but I think now they are re-popping them. Not cheap though. I got some from Hillbilly Wizard with a skid pretty cheap.

    IP Sourcing

    I just put a Huckstorf IP on my Suburban CUCV clone. They are priced right, got my pump out super fast, are a Stanadyne dealer, and the guys answering the phone were great to deal with. My core didn't get charged back within a few days of them receiving it. I guess someone was out for a few...

    working on a M1031 few questions on the gas driven generator

    I would give the old girl a sniff of ether. If it doesn't fire still, you probably are pulling the flywheel and replacing the points. If it does fire you are pulling the carb and cleaning out the fuzz.

    On the fence about a cucv

    It sounds like you don't need one. First, you are talking about an Olds and a CUCV...opposite ends of the spectrum. Second, you don't want to spin any wrenches. This means you will be in the $7 or 8 range for one that has been gone through properly. Nothing fancy is going on in a CUCV but its 30...

    M1028 Dana 60 limited slip pictures please

    Agreed It should also have an LSD tag as well but if its not there go to Plan B above. Those tags end up in the trash when a hack does a front oil change.

    Anyone Towing With a 6.2 Diesel?

    I can't say because I personally do not know you or your rigs but I will say a few things in general here... 1) Your 12,000 to 31,200 lbs. of tow load on a CUCV is not only very dangerous, it is outside the envelope for its design, and is opening up anyone doing so to some serious liability if...

    Spin on fuel filter options for cold weather

    I'm not sure what the existing CUCV circuit will handle. You could always measure the amps using a meter to see what the stock one draws. I never considered that because I used a relay with a dedicated circuit. Probably unnecessary but I didn't check the voltage compatibility beforehand which...

    Spin on fuel filter options for cold weather

    Be aware that the fuel heater feed from the CUCV is 12v...ask me how I know! My FM100 has a 24v heater and I just wired a simple relay that is switched by the CUCV heater wire and draws off of the 24v bus.

    M1031 projects

    There are many Chinese built controllers on Ebay that will work for under $150 if you search hard enough. These are mostly older technology analog units like the ones that came on these M1031's. They should be a direct fit replacement as they are sold that way. You can cross your Coleman...

    M1008 37"tires

    The rear looks like just a 4"ish block. Pretty standard fare if you are not into a shackle flip. The front looks pretty mickey mouse. I agree, someone added almost an entire leaf pack to the factory one. For the price of front lift springs, I would spend the coin and put some 4" lift springs...

    Solution to M1031 generator control system using b4thundr Woodward Apecs controller

    I had to replace my compressor motor which set me back a few hundred for a nice 240v unit. Your 3 phase unit is worth about nothing, I got $15 from someone with a project.

    Questions regarding carrier replacement (for a locking diff) M1009

    Wow, I see a lot of misinformation here. One, the pinion can stay where it is at. It doesn't even have to come out. First you are going to measure backlash and take a pattern as this is what we are replicating on the new carrier. Pull the carrier and remove the ring. Now place the empty...

    CUCV Integrated winch mount.

    I like the reproduction brush guards. Everyone online wants $250+ for them without a bumper which to me is stupid money for something I still have to refinish or bend it straight again. I'd rather pay money for something new ready to paint and install. I don't like the idea of the winch being...

    balancing 37" and 36" hummer tires.. not working out

    I have Centramatic balancers and I like them even though they are $$$. Sorry to hear yours don't work anymore. I'll always advocate that the surplus 37's are not what they are cracked up to be. Everyone is quick to say how great of a deal they are, wear resistant, and work well with the 4.56...

    Where's Your License Plate?

    I think the lack of threads is what the original problem is. Get it? No threads for his license plate :)

    Voltage regulator question

    If it is putting out that voltage even after revving the engine, I think you due for a rebuild. I would recommend a good quality kit and do both Gens just to make sure the other one doesn't go south a week later.

    H1 wheels on M1028

    I don't think you have to pass the bar to realize that friendly hobby chat has been passed when you tell people that running rims backwards is OK. This is how bad things happen because someone with lesser knowledge saw it on the internet: He ran them off road and on road with no problems

    H1 wheels on M1028

    This original thread is a few years old, not sure why the resurrection but I'll throw out my 2 cents. One, if you are running spacers you should have definitely already researched the implications like quality, material, maintenance and legality in your state. You probably should have also...

    Speed vs RPM for the M1009 6.2 diesel?

    M1009 What Part is this???

    Could be My Suburban has a bunch of vacuum operated doors between the AC and rear climate control. That would make sense if the hose goes into the cab then.
