My M1008 has a 6" lift with 37" hummer tires and wheels. I am wanting to put a reciever hitch on the truck and would like to know how big of a drop hitch others are using with this combo??

Me too. On post 20 I wish there was some part #'s to make sure to get the right connectors.

This is the antana base that I would like to use if possible for my CB, I am still waiting on the whip that goes on this base.

Ok, I want to see the write up on this thing. I never want mine to be a hot rod or anything like that but I would like to have good pull power when pulling a trailer.

Just by chance I do have a SWR. I don't know how to use it but I do have one.:D

Wow, I can already tell I do not know near enough about what I need to know. Mite as well be talking greek because I don't know what is being said.:shock: When I get closer to this part of it I will have to get pictures of what I have and then revisit this. Man, I feel dumb now :doh:

Welcome from Ponca City Okla

Welcome to the site, I just got my first 1984 M1008, you are lucky mine is a real pain to get started.

Thank you Warthog. I will check that out.

cpf240, where do I check that at? That might be what is going on.

Well, figured I would report back. I put the new glow plugs in, changed the female terminals, charged the batts to 100% and still had a really hard time starting saturday afternoon which was around 55* outside. When replacing the female spade ends I used ones that weren't covered with a plastic...

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody

I tried to search using "CB" and it keeps saying that is too short.

What does a person have to know to make a CB work using a M1008 military whip antana??

Welp, picked up the AC60G glow plugs and femaile spade connectors a few minutes ago. Hope to get these things swapped out starting late this afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will help in the starting dept.

What size female spade terminals will I need to get??

So the parts number for the AC glow plugs is AC60G??

New member here, first CUCV for me. I hope to learn all I can about these so I can get many years of service out of it.

Thanks Warthog, this is my first actually owning one of these myself. Messed with a lot of HumVee's over the past few years but being a grunt I never got the chance to really get into the workings of these things. I have a lot to learn.

The guy I got the truck from gave me a EBAY link that showed some american made glow plugs that were supposed to only be for the 1008-1009 vehicles and are supposed to be around 100* hotter. These were about $54.00 for the set. Does this sound about right?
