    Best Thing You've Found in Your CUCV

    I'm sure the ratios are different. The front drive shaft was in the bed. Wasn't that nice of them? It does have 8 lug wheels so it's not out of a 1009. I have another front axle that I can put in it. I was all pumped hoping that I might get one with a track-loc, instead I got someone's junk...

    Best Thing You've Found in Your CUCV

    Just picked one up from GL. Under the front of my m1031 I found a Dana 44. I was pissed!!! I noticed it right off but didn't say anything. Would it do any good? Someone had to bring it in and swap it out. None of them ever had Dana 44 fronts did they?

    Hey guys, been a while. Figured I'd show off where I'm at with the 1008

    Thats tempting but I think I'll keep it. Lol. The guy told me the truck had a 6.5 and an overdrive so I basically blew off what he said thinking he didn't know what was up. The engine was gone and I could tell by looking at the front of the trans that it was a TH400. That's why I was shocked...

    Hey guys, been a while. Figured I'd show off where I'm at with the 1008

    A week ago I finally came up with a name for a M1008 that had been setting in a field for a few years. I ended up getting it bought for $900. I really just wanted it for the axles, the engine was gone, the seat was missing and it had a flatbed. I tell you this because when I winched it up on the...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Thanks so much for the info! Your truck is killer. I have a M1008 with 37inch H1 wheels and tire combo. I really want a set of 11.00's on the next one.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    I hope this isnt too dumb of a question but I have to ask. I love the 11.00 x 20's! I know that you had custom split rims made for your truck back in the day. My question is with all the 20 inch wheels available these days will they work with the NDT's? I remember seeing somewhere about using a...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    I have a chance to rob some parts off a LDS that is getting taken back to forrestry. Sounds like it need to take the IP and the injectors. Anything else? What do you guys think.

    OK a little help,,, pump and roll on a fire truck that does not really allow for that

    We have headsets for our radios, that makes a big difference. the A3's have nufflers which helps too. Still burning after 3 days. Started out as a controlled burn, then got out of control. Right at 2000 acres now. Not trying to change the subject but we mounted a pump/motor combo that has cab...

    OK a little help,,, pump and roll on a fire truck that does not really allow for that

    You have to use a stand alone pump and motor. Maybe you could T off the suction side of the tank and switch it from the PTO driven pump to the stand alone pump. Our department just finished converting an M35A3 to a brush pumper with 900 gallon tank. I spent 17 hours in it yesterday and it kicked...

    My step side Bob deuce

    I GPS'ed mine with the 14.00's and it maxed out at 68 mph on flat ground. Seemed like it was turning 2700 rpm. It would be hard to doze off while driving that fast. lol

    Brush truck water capacity?

    Tank Our Fire Dept uses a 5 ton with a 1200 gallon polly tank. It has a LDS engine and on flat ground it will run 2500 rpm in 5th most of the time. When we get on scene depending on the terrain first gear is a little tall taking off with that much weight some of the time. Putting the truck in...
