I had a complicated problem with my M1008 a while back that I'm just now getting around to looking into. Haven't had any luck in the TM's or Forum. Background: the starter relay has been removed and a push-button switch installed in its place, this has worked flawlessly for 2+ years. The GP...

Looking for some wisdom and insight here on my upcoming Banks Sidewinder install in the M1008. I've read here on SS that it is recommended to install a Stud Girdle Kit to the bottom end of the motor when adding a turbo to these motors, but have also read on other sites that they are not worth...

I've had a persistent and increasingly annoying problem with my CUCV snapping the Grade 8 Starter Bolts about every 2 months of daily driving. At first I think it was because the last shop that replaced my starter didn't use shims and it got loose somehow. I've had to replace the starter...

The temps here in arctic Minnesota have been pretty brutal during the past week, barely getting up to 0 degrees F. Highs last week were -9 F many times. I didn't have a chance to get my block heater installed before the weather turned this season. I have good batteries and new glow plugs which...

So, I have a really good friend that also happens to be slightly loaded and very generous. Everyone should have a friend like this, I highly recommend it. Anyway, I have a birthday coming up and he offered to put a turbo on my truck for me as a gift! I couldn't be happier! Talk about an...

So I finally got all of my parts in and got around to installing everything. I ordered my tires from MILITARYOFFROADTIRES.NET - We're declaring war on high tire prices!. They are 37" x 12.5" x 16.5" HMMWV Goodyear Wrangler MT's on 12-bolt HMMWV bead-lock wheels with the rubber run-flat...

So, I think most of us can agree that the 6.2 is, uh, disappointing in the HP department when compared to most of today's diesels (I know , I know, they're great, dependable, depends on the application, consider the era, whatever) and this project would be about a year away for me right now as I...

I just ordered my "new" HMMWV 12-bolt bead-lock rims complete with rubber run-flats and 95% tread 37" radials! I'm pretty excited. I will be getting the beast lifted 4" hopefully within the next month. Now for the Backspace Adapters! I don't know what the Dana 60's studs are or what I should...

After reading many threads and pondering my setup, I finally bit the bullet and did it. I've been pretty interested in the idea for a number of reasons. First being half-price fuel, secondly better IP lube, third, I like pissing off crusty old hippie tree-huggers with my carbon boot-print...

I'm seriously considering bidding on a M101A2 up for auction about 2 hours north of me, I think it would be a great fit for my line of work (Concrete & Masonry) and a perfect addition to my M1008, but have never seen one of these trailers in person. I've done about as much research on them as I...

Alright, I went through the TM on this one and don't like the answer. I don't know if the Sheriff's Department that had this truck before me did something to the B/O system when they installed their light bar or the Trailer Brake Controller, but it ain't workin' right!. I have to have the...

Ok, so I want to paint my M1008 in Digital Camo. I think from pics I've seen online that I would like to do the Urban MARPAT scheme. I found a vendor online that sells 24"x18" Mylar Digital Camo Stencils for around $30 and I think I'm going to give it a shot. One problem. The MARPAT Urban...

I've tried multiple searches for the issue I'm having with no real luck. I don't know what the problem is I need to fix or where to start looking yet. Was hoping someone's experience could tell me where to start looking, or that you could at least point me towards the appropriate...
