Just for knowledge, if the diaphragm ever leaks in the fuel pump, it will push fuel into the vent system and will fill your hubs, transfer case.ect....had it happen a few times in Iraq.
It all depends on how much time and money you have.
Like "axlr8" said. Do the wheel bearing, brakes, U-Joint, change the oil in the diffs.
If the engine is good (no blow-by)you might want to change the injectors and maybe the injector pump also.
Or pick-up one of the 6.5L HMMWV engines and do...
Just ordered the ORD "shackle flip" and extended braided stainless brakeline kit from ORD. $340.00 shipped.
I already have the new skyjacker 6" springs for the front and shocks, sway bar drop, transfer drop, ext.ect.ect..
Thanks, planning to trailer this behind my CUCV-II to the GA Rally if all goes well with work.
I have a 6" lift that I might install next week. Going to order the ORD shackle flip for the rear tonight.
DavidJBlythe,
Do you have a M1009 or a 1 ton pickup?
The TM (20P and 34P)list the same part number for both types, 3/4 and 1 ton. THE TM IS WRONG. Part# 7806140 is only for the 3/4 ton(M1009)
I took pictures of both U-Joints, as you can see the caps are different sizes.
Two pictures of the...

I have to move a lot of suff to get it out of my back yard. Road test later this week.
Well the 1997 dually axle for $200 with tires that was close by didn't work out. The seller didn't know the axle ratio so I passed on it and someone else got it.
I had another lead on a 1995 1 ton dually axle with 4.10 gears in Knoxville for $500(cash only). Came with springs/tires/rims/front...
Not sure if I have to work that weekend or not. If I'm off, I plan on pulling out Wed or Thurs morning and meeting you guys up on I-75.
I'll be driving my CUCV-II with the gooseneck trailer. Maybe with the CUCV M1028A2 Dually on top of the trailer.
I have a lead on a 1997 Chevy Dually bed up...
I was thinking of installing one of my Milemarker Hyd 10,000 lb winch's on my Dually. I would make it so you could mount it on the front or the rear using the tow hooks as a mounting point. Run long Hyd hoses to the rear with quick release fittings. Quick release fitting up front also.
I just...
While I had the drive shaft off and the U-joint being the weakest point in the system now, I went ahead and replaced the U-joint, caps and screws.
It was a pain to press out one of the caps. Looks like the end of the driveshaft was dropped and the top lip was dented so the cap would not come...
