She made it! 290 miles in 8 hrs...LOL It was slow going as it is lacking power pretty bad...there were hills that put her down to 30 MPH!!! I am REALLY hoping the new fuel filter that is on its way will fix it. Has anyone gotten a truck that had a real deep red tint to the fuel? I didn't...

Hello all, So I finally did it, I graduated from CUCVs to a truck I'm not even licensed to drive...yet :) I won a real decent looking M929, hard top/automatic trans w/ the nhc250 off of gov liq and everything seems ready to roll...my brother and dad are driving down so it will be a full blown...

I would really have to look again to see if the 1/2" would make a difference ... I do know my "custom" brake lines were very close to the tires.

I have been driving this rig w/ the spacers a little over 500 miles. I had the wheels off twice at low milage to check torque and inspect. No defects noted. For hwy use i would go the same route... i like the stock wheel look. Hope this helps the rest of you guys wanting to do this!

link not working the above link isn't working darn

That is a great setup! My brother and I have been tring to convince our uncle and cousin to buy a contact truck to use the same way up in Madison County NY for years. They have a 1008 and a 1009 they use for misc crap around the farm. I will have to get him to check yours out.... he will want...

Yes i searched... I have one 37" radial hmmwv wheel that was leaking from between the rim "halfs" It is the newer 3850lb wheel that takes the red o-ring part#12460338, 91610, RCSK17877, X91610 NSN 5331-01-417-1043 I Can't find one of these for less than $20. I looked them up on Fed-log @...

Thanks guys! That is pretty good.... Appreciate the info. I have a parts generator that has 8800hrs on it... is this about max life expectancy or are there so out there that are 10,000+???? If 8800 is not at the very top end i need to swap my starter over and try to fire up the old parts...

For those of you that have used these gen sets what is a no BS hourly/daily fuel useage going to be? I didn't see anything in the T.O. I just got a MEP-002A up and running and need to know how much fuel to keep on hand. Thanks

Jim, Thanks for the input. I was hopeing for some positive feedback. I don't want to spend all the time and money on this project to have something bad happen.

no, not ignoring you, I believe we are talking about the same thing! You posted a link that had a picture of a wheel spacer.....These wheel adapter/spacers are the cause of our issue... I am not going to recenter them because i don't like the way it looks and I plan on picking up a few more of...

Jim, I looked around a bit on the web to see what was out there after the seller told me the 8 turn "rule". ( I never take the word of the guy taking my $$) Apparently 8 full revolutions is the equivalent to 9/16". Meaning a longer stud doesnt really have any advantage... if those 8 turns of...

I talked to ORD about it... I can't see spending 100 bucks on a disconnect kit that i shouldn't need to disconnect. I really just want to fab up some spacers that will effectively return it to "stock" placement or i will just remove it :)

Any particular brand or just "paint thinner"? 4-1 ratio? I used this Gillespie paint on 3 vehicles w/ spirits....all had that shine for a while I just read that Gillespie/ rapco recommends xylene to thin with... What are the rest of you using?

so when you turn it up what effect does that have verses proper adjustment? Less rear brake or more? Thanks --good stuff

ALCON: the poll was tied! After alot of thought I gave up the credit card for the 3.5" superlift springs all the way around, procomp ecs9000 shocks and a skyjacker drop pitman arm. I ordered the u-bolt kits 1" longer than what the new springs called for so I can add zero rates if it does not...

Mine only looks that good after inner and outter rockers, new inner fenders and lots for repair work on door bottoms, floors, fenders etc... I have alot of time into this truck. The paint is growing on me... my 1028 may get camo pattern later on in its life but that is time consuming work to get...
