Put some Seafoam in the crankcase. If the lifters are sticking it usually clears it up. YMMV

Ingenius! I love it! Are you going to use beads to balance them? Fowler :beer:

Dont forget tires. I had the deadly "May Pop" Firestones on mine. Most have dry rot from sitting so long. :-o

Bowlins Contenial Divide Truck Stop!......I know where that is! :D

I'm wondering since the US exit from Iraq if there will be more CUCV IIs flooding the DRMOs and GL. Maybe they were left behind? Thoughts? :?:

Outstanding. My dad flew them in Korea. He'd love to see yours! :D

:ditto: Betcha its a bad ground.... Check and clean fuse holders too....

Check to make sure your getting 12 volts to your GP relay. Sounds like your ballast resistors shorted and your getting 24 volts. Mine did that and blew up the GPs (2X) until I figured out what was happening. aua

I was at the DRMO at Kirtland AFB in the late 90s and a M1008 came in with 25 miles on the odometer. Apparently the unit ordered it new and NEVER used it. The clear plastic was still on the seat! It was going to auction but another unit scooped it up at the last minute......:mad:

Mine spun around when the long bolts that hold the front housing came loose causing the internal rotor to spin free. I made the strap out of 1/4 copper tubing pounded flat. Drilled and tapped the connections and cleaned the internals on the starter. Reassembled and installed....works great.

I ran a lead from the 12 volt battery to the relay (where the old lead came from the ballast resistor) Used the old relay. Its been working for 9 years that way. Good luck Fowler

Gotcha! Good looking M1008! Thanks F

A local guy has some of these tires on Hummer wheels that have been modified with 3.5" backspacing. Would these work? F

Ahhhhh gotcha! Thanks Fowler :)

Whats a zero rate? Thanks Fowler:? :?

Im looking at putting some of these wheels on my 86 M1008 I use the truck as a daily driver and Im tired of listening the the wrapped out 6.2 on the freeway..... Any advise tips? Thanks in advance Fowler
