@rolling18 Thank you for the info! I was actually able to register sans smog due to the weight on the door tag. Although I did have to physicly bring it to the DMV so they could read the tag for themselves. Not as cool as an SP tag but I'll take what I can get for now. Sequential plates are nice...

We are moving to Portland. Does anyone have experience getting the Oregon Special Interest Tags for a CUCV? Otherwise it looks like I will need to smog my m1008?!

Great suggestions. Thank you!

How much clearance should there be between the front springs and the bump-stop? Assuming that 1.5 inches isn't nearly enough, Should I replace the Shocks first to see if that makes a difference or should I do the shocks and springs at the same time?

Well either my lines or the fittings are too long for the support bracket by about 3/4 of an inch. @cucvrus , et. al. - Thoughts on using hangar strap instead of the actual clip? Or should I shorten the lines and re-crimp?

@Rutjes - I ended up replacing the Trans hard lines with PTFE and AN6 Fittings. I routed over the trans and the driver side wheel well. 2nd Video in another thread. -> https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1008-upper-oil-line-replacement-video-link.203838/

@cucvrus Thanks again for the info. That is a negative on securing the rear of the oil cooler lines. I am going to send you a direct message about that rear bracket. @WWRD99 Fortunately I am not in a winter environment, so no need to run any therm-controlled oil cooling. But I get your point...

Here is the latest. I added the hardline bracket on the radiator shroud and rerouted/replaced the hard lines for the Trans Cooler. Looks like I did that just in time too since there was a spot in one of the hard lines that was really thin. Also, I took out the auxillary transmission cooler and...

Thanks again for all of the info and pictures! That really helps. I have some parts on order and will post the results. I need to check my manifold to see if it is factory correct or aftermarket before I try to replace that bracket.

@cucvrus That totally makes sense about the vibrations and good call on using the radiator ports for the transmission. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. It is much appreciated! Looking at the Aux Trans cooler, it is in really good shape. I was thinking of keeping it but routing through the...

@cucvrus Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate the feedback and happy-4th! :) It would seem that brackets 24 and 17 are both missing. Also, the "T" junction (23) and the Oil Sampling assembly? is non-existent. Yes, The trans cooler bypass of the radiator is indeed strange and is on my list of...

I did a thing! Probably old hat to most but it was new to me. So here it is in case anyone finds it useful. Cheers!

Is this what you are looking for? Figure 44 from TM 9-2320-289-34 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/CUCV/TM9-2320-289-34.pdf

@Rutjes Thanks for the info and link!

@cucvrus Thank you for the clarification. Based on that, I am definitely going to keep to the factory Oil Cooling layout but will reroute the Trans Cooling lines. Thanks again and have a good one!

Greetings and Salutations. My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I could not find it. TLDR: I really don't want to have those Trans. Cooler hard lines going underneath the truck if I can avoid it. So I ordered some hard lines that go to the radiator only to find I had Oil lines...
