Got my Supercharger kit ordered.

I think those are the tallest antennas I have ever seen on a CUCV.

I’ve got a brand new gear reduction unit sitting in my parts bin. Bought it years ago thinking I would use it someday on a super 6.5. However when I began assembling my new P400, I had an original CUCV starter rebuilt to the tune of $240. It’s now hanging beside the P400 girdle ready to spin the...

That's what I would do. There's nothing wrong with swapping leafs as long as they are the same type/length from an identical spring pack. Sure beats paying for over-the-ocean shipping. Besides, Swfb will probably need all new spring packs when he gets that Supercharger installed. :p I...

No I have pics of the ORD crossmember. Was just curious about how you were going to fabricate yours.

Hey Curt please post photos on that replacement crossmember. I may need one myself to clear the girdle of my P400. I’m not concerned about the fuel pump because I am changing to electric pump.

What? Rick going to Washington State? Yeah right! LOL

I'll second that! When you install the new flex plate, remember to use blue Loktite on those special flex plate bolts and torque them to spec. You may want to clean out the threaded holes with acetone before installing the bolts so the Loktite will grab properly.

Thanks for your post. Looks like a clean engine compartment. Please post more information on the batteries and Solargizer in case other SS members would like to do the same upgrade.

Finalized my new gauge panel design and got the metal cut and formed to shape.

I just now looked on Parker Racor's website and confirmed that the 660 ports are 3/8"-18 NPT. You might want to verify that the fittings you have are actually 3/8" NPT and that the female orfices have not been opened/rethreaded by somebody else. If it were me I would try a hardware store...

Marcus that’s a good idea to flush those lines and cooler. Do you know if there is a procedure in the TMs for how to flush?

Got the new cable shifter temporarily mounted on my NP241 -

Got the GM14020856 brace rod installed between my NP241 and the P400 engine block. Additional details in my rebuild thread.

Got my NP241 transfer case bolted up behind my P400/700R4.

Received my NP241 transfer case from Mark Bendler at Kodiak Trucks in Wisconsin. Completely rebuilt with Tom Wood's Slip Yoke Eliminator and correct speedometer cable attachment. More photos and details in my rebuild thread over in the CUCV Modification forum.

Guage cluster is coming together. Got the shape drawn in Autocad and sent it to the water jet guy. Then got the 1/8" aluminum shape cut and bent to the correct angles on my finger brake. Test-fit the HMMWV tach and 1 gauge to make sure everything was going to fit. Next, will fabricate the...

Excellent.

Built a mock-up of my new gauge cluster for my M1028. Everything fit as designed, so actual metal fabrication will start next. All gauges will be mechanical - Oil Pressure, Water Temperature, Transmission Temperature, Fuel Pressure, and Oil Temperature. In the middle will be a brand new HMMWV...

Installed an oil pan heater on my P400 engine.
