    Steel vs. Fiberglass hardtops?

    Ridge, You might drop a PM to TedG. I think he has an NOS hard top kit I am not sure but I think he can beat the $600 figure above. He is located in Eaton Rapids just south of Lansing so if you can pick it up you could save quite a bit on shipping. Like stated above, steel tops are the...

    old style gear to new style change over?

    When I was in the Army we always preferred the old style as it rolled easier and was quicker to attach. It takes longer to crank the landing gear up enough to get over the pintle then crank it back down so you could swing the gear up. It is nice to have a back up when alone. I just use my high...

    Licensing and Insuring M929A2 in Michigan

    At least they got the CDL part right. I was lucky that one of the SOS clerks knew her stuff. I got a new lady that first had trouble with a 1969 vehicle that had never been registered. I had to explain that the government does not register vehicles. Then she really choked on the Kaiser-Jeep for...

    Licensing and Insuring M929A2 in Michigan

    I have posted a lot on this subject both about registration and the need for a CDL. First of all, the only thing that would make it a commercial vehicle is you using it to make money in some way. If you are using it just for moving your own stuff (not stuff for or to sell) then you are not...

    Steering wheel straight?

    One point I failed to bring up is a professional alignment will also show if the rear is out of spec. The rear will only be out of spec if something is work or broken but this could be why the steering wheel does not seem centered. The professional alignment will ensure the front tracks the same...

    Touch Pad Master Switch Repairs

    Do a search. I had a thread on this with part numbers. Most of the time one or all of the four surface mount relays are bad. I had mine replaced but the relays are kind of expensive and I had an electronics person experienced in surface mount components to the repair for me. I am on dial up so I...

    Steering wheel straight?

    For an experience person doing it I say you are right but if someone does not know what they are doing then they should leave it alone for the reason I stated. If he adjusts the wrong rod then he will mess up the toe. At any rate I gave him enough information to do it himself if he so chooses. I...

    Steering wheel straight?

    Tie rods are the only way to adjust toe. Camber is adjusted by shimming or adjusting cams and caster is adjusted the same way as camber. I am not trying get into a flame match with you but I used to be a certifed mechanic. Toe is the difference between the distance between the tire in the front...

    Is the HMMWV EPA or DOT certified

    Although weird it is true, you can get a Russian T-72 imported with a demil gun but can't get an obsolete Stuart back in the country. This is what happens when laws are enacted by people listening to other people that do not know anything about what they are talking about.

    Steering wheel straight?

    This would require an alignment. You could mess with it but you are just guessing. I just paid $46 to have my car aligned at Belle Tire. Tell them the wheel is not straight and they can adjust the toe to get it straight. Basically, your toe in might be right so you need to make sure they know...

    M998 1985 Diesel Motor

    Try TedG. He is on SS and other boards. PM him. He has several engines to fit your need including 6.5 NA humvee engines as well as 6.5 turbo engines. He knows humvees and is great to deal with.

    Personal Rant....... 5 ton wanted......

    Prices go up. That is the nature of things. I waited and waited and waited until I found a deuce near me on GL listed as a runner and got it for the price I wanted. That whole process took about a year because I am cheap. I will not pay the dealer retail for one. For a while M818s seemed to be...

    Alternator problem for M1009

    Yes. Unless they have been changed by someone else but from the military they are both isolated ground 100 amp alts. The same on both sides.

    Cab Reinforcement Plates

    I have one installed in my truck that was installed by the military and it is just like the one being sold. I had pictures but they are probably on the old site. Even the weight of ring mount can deform and crack the cab. If you are planning on having a ring mount I would plan on installing one...

    How to seal a leaky M109 Van

    I used RV rubber seam cement to seal up my M146. I sealed all seams and covered all rivets. No problems at all with water now.

    Only 230 Hours on CUCV

    That is a trip odometer not an hour meter. The rest knob is just to the right of the digits.

    Only 230 Hours on CUCV

    My old department used to add hour meters to the traffic cars since they would sit idling for long periods. This may have been the case with this one also.

    new 1009 electrical question

    I would check for a loose belt. The belt may have started slipping when the alt had the extra load of the blower fan. The blower motor might also be starting to go and is drawing more amps than it normally should.
