    Learned something last Friday...

    So...there I was, paying my buddy's boss man for swapping some tires around. There's a guy sitting in the office and he asks me: "So didn't that truck originally have the 6.2 Cummins in it with a turbo 400 transmission?" It took me a minute to process that much stupidity at once, but I simply...

    Minor Updates

    I haven't been around these parts in a while! Figured I'd give some updates on my truck... I broke a left rear axle shaft and the Detroit locker a few months ago at a tractor pull. Back in April, I pulled the NV4500 out and put new synchros in it and stuck in a better clutch while I had...

    Haven't posted lately

    I've still been around, I swing through and read all the posts. I've been workin on my truck quite a bit, gettin it situated like I want. I just picked up a set of 5x.014 sac nozzle injectors for that awesome Cummins I swapped in there a while back, I also upgraded to a Super Phat Shaft 62/71/14...

    New Stuff

    I haven't given any new updates lately...so here we go! I did some injection pump mods to the Cummins. 3200 rpm gov spring, turned the star wheel, already had a Denny T fuel pin, adjusted the low boost screw, got 2.5 turns out of the full power screw, made a new 4" downpipe to clear the...

    Not so hefty after all...

    I finally got around to hauling some scrap metal to the local recyler. Loaded up the truck with 813 pounds of random used truck parts, galvanized sheet metal, and other odds and ends I had laying around. I really just wanted to make a few bucks so I could get some lunch [thumbzup] I think I...

    Be Jealous!

    Hahaha, well....that's not entirely necessary, but look!!!!!! :twisted: I'll get the trans and t-case bolted up some time soon and then I can measure for a rear driveshaft and get it rolling!

    Np205

    Were the NP205s in the various CUCVs the round pattern 205s or the figure 8s? I'm in dire need of a round pattern, 32 spline 205 or a 29 spline Dodge 205 (used 89-93 and extremely rare).

    Ready for the Cummins!

    Well...I finally broke down and pulled the motor out of my truck yesterday! So all of the stuff I have in the for sale section is out and ready to be sold! I'm excited, I just need more money!

    Rebuilding kingpins!

    I finally got around to it today after work, I start at about 7 and quit around 10, then from 10 until about 12 I was using my parts washer :roll: Lots of dirty mess in them hubs and what not! The actual process of replacing the upper kingpin was very easy! I slipped in my big arese allen...

    Found a 1028!

    I found an M1028 for sale locally. It's an 85 model, the floor is lined with some kind of bedliner and looks nice, no rips in the seat, dash pad is in great shape with no cracks, it even has troops seats in it and new rear tail lights!......I just dont have 2800 bucks to rescue it with! I'd hate...

    My New Motor

    CUCV owners beware: viewing of these pictures will cause an uncontrolable urge to get one as well! I gotta Cummins! :D It came out of a '92 Dodge W250. I also got a set of hydro clutch pedals while I was there picking up the motor. :twisted: ........... :roll:

    An update!

    Haven't been up to much lately, kinda broke from buying a Cummins for my truck :D Anyway, I scored a set of ORD's zero rates a while back and finally got around to cleaning, painting and installing them earlier this week. I added another inch of lift up front and moved the axle 1.5" forward...

    8-bolts are cool!

    Check em out! I went and picked up some Boggers for my buddy and we did some wheelin and dealin and I wound up with his Swamper SXs. I figured they'd look cool on my recentered 8-bolts, or at least cooler than wore out 37 radials :roll: I'll get some better pics of the SXs later.

    Forced Induction!

    I may very well be turbo'd here soon! I found a great deal on a Banks setup with the exhaust on Craig's List. Somebody over on Diesel Place posted it up.....so I called the guy just for fun, turns out he was great to work with and he's calling me back Monday about shipping costs and all that...

    Trailer Wiring

    I rewired my trailer today and I was messing around with the miltary trailer plug. I figured out what holes do what when using a 4-prong, flat wire, but with it hooked to the trailer, the turn signals are very slow blinking and don't like to work. Should I just go under the truck and splice...

    Trailer Hitch

    I just put a Curt #13028 V-5 class 3 trailer hitch on my M1008. I did away with the rear shackle mounts to make room and since there's already the pintle hitch, I still have a solid pulling point that is easy to use with gloves on. I did have to use a few flat washers to space it away from the...

    I put Bio in my CUCV!

    Filled 'er up with some homebrew today! Smells like somebody is grilling something in the back of my truck all the time....strange, I thought it would smell like fried stuff :roll: The motor quited right down a good deal and I may have to change the fuel filter again, but other than that, no...

    Fixed It!!!!!

    Well...a short lived victory was putting in my freshly built 700R4. It crapped out about 30 miles later :cry: Anyway, last night and this morning I pulled it out and proceeded to take it completely apart...AGAIN....only to find absolutely nothing wrong with it! The clutches still had the...

    Almost ready....

    After months of parts hunting, learning experiences, and lots of money well spent, I will finally be swapping my very stout 700R4 into my M1008. Hopefully I will have enough time to stop and take pictures here and there or at least get my help to do that for me :D I'll keep yall updated...
