    what have i got here.. vin decode help

    Yup...looks like another CUCV Who cares what it is, RUN IT! Post up a photo of the interior dash and under the hood so we can see if it looks stock or cannibalized.

    Tow Baring a CUCV

    The NP208 has an oil pump driven off the rear output. As long as your fluid is full and in good shape, it shouldn't matter how long you pull it in neutral as it is being lubricated exactly like normal driving. It's the tcases that rely on splash lubrication you must be careful with. That...

    what have i got here.. vin decode help

    I'm uncertain what you are looking for? Are you unsure if it's a CUCV or a specific model? If you are trying to buy parts it is pretty much an 84' K30 diesel except for the starting and charging sustem.

    recomended torque converters for a 6.2 turbo

    Sluggish off the line indicates a slipping stator inside the converter which will require a rebuild or a replacement. Especially if the trans works fine at higher rpms.

    Transfer case ext. housing chipped off

    Take the seal out, clean it up really good with brake clean, and install a new one with a nice application of RTV...call it good. Those extension housings are fairly plentiful, I would be surprised if you couldn't find one for free.

    HMMWV tach on CUCV signal calculations

    This subject has been beaten to death but here we are once again...everyone says that it works and that the alternator has a tach lead or the STE/ICE has a port for a tach signal but no one ACTUALLY has a thread about the installation and successful operation of the M998 tach on a CUCV. I have...

    Alternator Rebuild

    Rock on! Don't forget to do a little preventative maintenance by taking out the GEN bulbs and cleaning the sockets. May want to throw new bulbs in just for giggles...

    Documented Curt 14082 Receiver Hitch install on my M1031

    I have a shackle flip in the back so the brackets at the back of the frame rail are different.

    Documented Curt 14082 Receiver Hitch install on my M1031

    Nice writeup! I think I will be adding a square u-bolt to go around the receiver hitch portion and run it up through the two holes directly below the pintle. This should tie both the hitch and bumper assembly together. It will also help with any extra tongue load. I noticed that with my bike on...

    rough running

    Mine did the same thing when it was freakin cold out and had almost nothing in the fuel tank. I was running it dry because I was dropping the tank and upgradig the fuel system. Truck wouldn't idle, wouldn't accelerate, surged, and had no power. I would be looking at fuel system integrity and if...

    M1028 price check

    I agree on the odometer...pay no attention to it. Look at things like seatbelts, brake pedals, door panels and all other major points of wear. Nothing says an overworked truck like a brake pedal worn down to the metal on the corner. Remember...a replacement 6.2 isn't exactly overwhelmingly...

    Anyone make alternate uses of this bracket?

    I would probably mount one up front so you do not need to carry while driving in an uncomfortable position. The second I would mount under the seat padding in a pocket. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT leave one mounted near the tcase lever in an unoccupied truck. Not only will it get stolen, but that is...

    M1028 price check

    Who cares about what they are worth. A woman that owns two M1028's...you marry!!! If both are pretty much the same condition minus the mileage, go with what fits your budget the best. Don't overspend if you plan on getting it home and doing a bunch of mods to it. Don't forget to budget for...

    Anyone had their IP rebuilt recently?

    Not sure if it's already in there but a small list of trusted IP rebuilders would be a nice addition to the stickies.

    Alternator Rebuild

    The TM's have great diagrams with where all the internal fasteners and parts lay inside the case. Camera is your friend!

    Anyone make alternate uses of this bracket?

    LOL Fair enough, make it a triple!

    Anyone make alternate uses of this bracket?

    Dual pistols...you from Texas? One isn't enough :) Compromise with a single pistol, single cupholder mod. Best of both worlds!

    Anyone make alternate uses of this bracket?

    I bought a cupholder mount for mine and bolted it to that bracket.

    Documented Curt 14082 Receiver Hitch install on my M1031

    Nothing yet...working on building a dirtbike carrier for it because riding season is here. May pull a small trailer soon to pick up some crushed stone in the next month or so. No plans for any major pulls in the near future. Why do you ask?

    Anyone had their IP rebuilt recently?

    Sexy! I would use any authorized Stanadyne dealer in your area where you can get good customer feedback. I would avoid buying anything online based only on price.
