I would like to host an MV event and give re-enactors a place to do their thing in the Charlotte area but I need to gauge interest. I have access to a small airport about 30 minutes outside of downtown Charlotte that's agreed to close operations for a couple days to allow for an MV event in 2023...

Has anyone weighed their M1008 in an empty configuration? I’m having a hard time buying the 5,900lb curb weight in the TM. Mines too modified to get an accurate OEM weight at this point. Also, does anyone know if they weighed them with or without fluids?

Third post this week.... I'm on a streak and I promise I'll stop after this one. Who makes a reputable replacement alternator? Can't find rebuild kits at the moment. I'm on my 2nd alternator attempt this week, both alternators were "CUCV M1008 Replacements".. Neither fit, the first was missing...

Alright, I know a lot has been said on the subject and I’ve read the forums, but I gotta know, if these have been bypassed is there any point in taking them back to OE? For the record, my truck starts instantly, all the time, so I don’t need to do anything. Just curious about folks opinions...

Engine runs perfect while idling in neutral or park. Runs great while underway. The second I come to a full stop while in gear the RPM’s dip and it starts shuddering/shaking. Any ideas? Doesn’t happen all the time. Can’t tell if it’s a miss or what’s going on, it sounds really odd. Pop it into...

Anyone have a source for NEW OE or Aftermarket style oil pans for these 6.2L engines with the 2-piece rear main seal? When I removed mine about 9 months ago one of the lips was warped, I tried to straighten it but now its leaking like a sieve. Appears to be my only oil leak after replacing all...

Where can I pick up a new one for my M1008? I might try to clean mine but its obvious its never been cleaned since it was installed in 1985.

I have encountered an unexpected interference between the brass fitting on the crossover tube and a water pump cover bolt. According the TM’s and GM service manual this shouldn’t be happening. I’m not sure what I’m missing. The crossover pipe bolts will not come out. I guarantee if I pull any...

So I went and drove my truck and noticed a weird feel/noise on shutdown. Fired it back up and the crank pulley started wobbling. I’ve removed the damper and am doing front/rear seals, timing cover seal, HF water pump, HO oil pump, etc.. I purchased a new GM damper. I used the proper puller and...

Has anyone gone through the importation process for say, a Ural 375D, in 2020? I'm curious what your experience was. I have tried numerous times to contact Vermont Unimog for information on their inventory and pricing but its been many months and many emails with no response. The last website...

Hey everyone. This site and its members have been invaluable to me in recent months and I want to pay back the tremendous support with an offer to all members interested in aviation. I volunteer with the organization “Warriors and Warbirds” in Monroe, NC. We maintain and operate a 1944...

I am posting this as a cautionary tale. Might save someone some real headache and huge amount of money, or perhaps their life. I'll try to keep it short. A few months back my P/S pump took a shit at 65 mph with 12-bolt HMMWV wheels and 37" MTR's. Wasn't fun, almost didn't get it stopped before...

Hey guys, I had a catastrophic power steering pump/hydraboost failure at 65 mph a few months back. Wasn't fun. Nearly crashed as I lost power steering and all brakes with 37 MTR's on H1 12-Bolt wheels. The emergency brake saved the day. It took nearly 8 weeks to get replacement parts. The...

Check/replace/remove your oil cooler hoses if you still have them. There was a recall on these hoses at one point. I was driving to a very important doctors appointment this morning when my oil light illuminated and was accompanied by oil spewing up the windshield. By the time I could pull off...

I've been searching for one of these for quite some time. Finally picked one up passing through Cincinnati. I purchased it with 54,000 miles and I've already put over 2,000 miles on her. Had some minor issues, but seems to be running great. She's left me stranded once when the front left...
