I am considering a gear vendors OD and I know there are many posts here about that. My question is am I putting my drive train under too much load running at highway speed with the engine at such low (1800) RPM with 37" tires. The RPM calculator says that with the 37" take-offs my highway RPM...

I have always had a difficult time getting my transfer case to shift between 4H, 4L etc. A buddy of mine gave me a tip that if you sort of give the shifter a good strike towards the floor it will shift more easily. I didnt know that so I was anxious to try it. The next time I was in the truck I...

Ok, so I am in pursuit of a battery drain in my system and while this post is not specifically about that problem my troubleshooting process raised a question for me. I am new to diesel so please dont flame me if this is a total noob question. All of my previous automotive experience has been...

I was reading through the Operation Manual and noted that it says not to let the 6.2 run at idle for extended periods of time. 1. What is extended amounts of time? 2. What damage can occur? In the current cold weather I typically let it run for about 15-20 minutes in the morning to get the...

I would like to start a conversation about the balancing points with CUCVs although this conversation really applies to anything. When making changes/improvements/upgrades/modifications to your CUCV where do you draw the line? For example: Instrumentation is great, information is useful...

I took both the batteries I have down to the local battery place here in town and they tested them for me. The one I know is good held over 1000CCA for a little over 10 seconds impressing even the guys at the battery store. The second could only muster about 300CCA but they felt like it...

EDIT - Also applies to M1008 unless the rear body mounts dont fit the situation detailed below. So Im in the midst of trying to install the 1" lift (and new body mounts) on the cab portion of my truck and it would appear that on the 1031 they put the rearward body mounts on the PTO bearing...

Has anyone who has converted a 1031 come up with a brilliant solution for the fuel filler neck? On mine, I have come up with these specific issues: - The fuel filler hose is longer than it needs to be by about 2"+ - The angle of the filler neck metal portion is the wrong angle to allow fuel...

I am looking for a source of military connectors. I need a set of (matching) 10-12 pin connectors that will accommodate standard automotive wiring 12-14 ga wire. Specifically, I need two bulkhead connectors with weather covers and two cable end connectors to build a patch cable from my CUCV to...

I am selling a couple of 6T batteries and I have a potential buyer in the SF Bay area but shipping cost is a barrier. I am in Western Washington (Skagit County) and could deliver the batteries to about anywhere around the Seattle area etc. if someone is driving to CA. Im sure we could chip in...

I was looking at a website that has tire chains for the 36/37" take-offs and they appear to be a tremendous deal if the quality is any good at all. The question is: how much space/lift do you have to have to to use a set of tire chains without tearing the inner fender out? Anyone have any...

Has anyone installed a GPS speedo in a CUCV using something approximately stock in dimensions and installed in the factory cluster? I want to do the 700r4 swap and change tires/wheels but would like to circumvent all the speedo false readings and conversion issues. I have found some online but...

Well, from the searching I have done it is possible that I have come across a brand new problem that has never been addressed here. I installed a brand new HAM radio (icom V-8000 75w max power) with a Larsen NMO-150 5/8 wave antenna and when I key the mic the glow-plug "wait" light comes on. I...

I have had this M1031 for a month or so and have filled the fuel tank three times I think. The last time it was so low on fuel I was worried about making it to the fuel station and when I filled up I couldnt get more than 15 gallons in. I thought the truck had a 20 gallon tank but maybe it...

I just got my sets of HMMWV wheels and I am looking for some pointers on getting them road ready. I need new valve stems for most of them so I think I will just replace all. I dont have a source though. I think I should just replace the o-rings but if there is a good solution for lubricating...

These photos are the truck as purchased by me about three weeks ago or so. Note 50 hours +/- on the genset. Truck had 26.5k miles on it at purchase. Waiting for history from CARNAC, will add it here when I get it. Truck runs and drives great. PTO and all 1031 accessories work. All lighting...

Does anyone know of a source for replacement lenses for the top clearance markers on a contact box? Thanks!

I have never done anything thru GL but i need a trailer and there seem to be a pile of them available on there for pretty cheap. Any advice on this? Thanks!

Anyone know what these seats are from?

Can anyone help me identify the antenna/base combo that goes with this mounting on the contact box of a 1031. It is mounted on the leading edge at the top on the passenger side. Also, does anyone have experience with the base that goes there and if the antenna can be pulled down far enough and...
