Looking at maybe changing out the rear axle on the 2000 CUCV-II, Crew Cab. The left side axle shaft is missing and not sure if the axle is good or bad. I’ll be pulling it apart just to see but want other options just in case. Thinking of making this into a dually if it is an easy swap. If it is...

Florida9, Glad you got it fixed. I know it was a pain to do with all the rain and working outside in your apartment complex. Take some pictures of your truck if you can.

Looking good!

Yes, a data base of some kind would be nice. I had a lot of SS members PM me with their location or cell numbers if I needed help between FL and CA. Steel Soldiers are a great bunch of guys/girls. Thanks again.

Been working a little here and there on this rebuild. Finished with the Banks Turbo setup on the engine. The 3" exhaust system is a pain over the rear axle and the down pipe is real close to the glow plugs. You will have to remove the down pipe just to change the plugs. Went to get new Red Top...

Lol...yes that was me and my son. We pulled into the flying J around 2:00am, filled up with fuel, jump started a lady that had a dead batttery, and took a nap. Got up around 8:00am, went inside, got some food and got back on the road. You should of knocked on the window and said Hi!.

Yes, a CUCV starter will work. I have a 6.5 HMMWV engine in my 1986 CUCV ,M1028A2 Dually.

Yes. same as the one on M998. Florida9 just picked up the flexplate from my house. He plans on doing the install tonight.

Also, make sure the parking brake works and you know were it is. If your brakes fail(brake pedal goes to the floor)you can use the parking brake to stop(had do this a few times)

PM sent.

Here are some pictures of the two flexplates.

Florida9, If you can't find one let me know. I have a new flexplate and a good used one. I'm about 1 hour south of you. I could have it in West Palm Beach on Tuesday to get it closer to you.

I take it you want to pull a trailer that has 12 volt electric brakes? You can get 12 volt from one of your batteries.

Looks like your right.....I thought by the name it was over seas also......might have to up grade.

I have three brake controllers in my M1028A2 dually, M1028 pickup, and my CUCV-II. Cost me around $39 to $55 for the controller and can't remember the price for the 7 pin connectors. On the CUCV's I had to run a blue wire from the controller to the rear 7 pin connector(trailer brakes) and a...

I always had a problem with the passenger side battery not charging. The volt gage was always at the yellow/green mark. I thought it was at the battery terminals. After replacing the blown fuses in the inverter behind the seat, all is good. Gage is now in the "Green" Getting 14.03...

Worked on the battery tray tonight. The Banks Turbo air filter housing takes up the space of the front military battery tray. (Yes, I could have replaced it with a stock one) I will be using two, Red Top batteries with the plastic bases, so I took a piece of aluminum that I had and made a base...

Can't wait to see the rest of the build. Looks to be a good project. No 6.5L with turbo plans ?
