    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    We had a dusting here in N GA back in December. I had to take my sister to dialysis. Ended up using the SECM. Just found out my bride took a few pics upon our return.

    Recovery: M1010

    Good grief. Glad all is going well Drew. Anything good or stripped in the back? We woke up to 4° but it's 14 already. Gonna be another hot one. The bambalance looks pretty dry and solid. Let's hope the back wasn't subject to an abortion.

    Mild Power Adders

    Here would be my top 3. Add a second snorkel to the air cleaner. Switch to 3" single exhaust or at least add a balance tube. These should be done together. Lastly would be a new IP. Consider it maintenance.

    84, M1008. Anyone familiar with the governor?

    FYI, I used the Grimm jeeper gear ratio calculator and came up with the following. Assuming a stock truck with 4.56 gears, TH400 and 235/85R16 tires, you will be turning 2806 @55, 3061 @60 and 3316 @65 MPH. My SECM has an SM465 and 4.10 gearsets. It turns 2388 @55, 2605 @60 and 2822 @65 MPH...

    Fill spout for threaded fuel cans, repairing rubber seal?

    Surplus threaded metal donkey dongs are the expandable type. The threaded ones are aftermarket and block the vent hole. New mfr replacement rubber would be nice to have. It needs to be quite soft to seal against the 2" threads in either the steel or Scepter cans.

    MBU not MEP for camper kitchen

    I can't offer any definitive information on the actual MBU but from my experience at the GA Rally, if you use them inside, have hearing protection. You can hear them from a hundred yards away.

    TM for M119 Trailer

    Sorry,. It's been gone for a while.

    How good is a deuce really in the mud?

    Not defending the driver here but anyone who thinks you can just steer out of the ruts he made with NDTs, is strongly fooling themselves. No matter how bad you want to, it will not happen without an outside source of force or completely backing out and starting over.

    Wrong Bogert Jack

    I always wanted one of the Bogert jacks for my SECM. Odds are, I would never use it but it's so neat.

    Lack of power at speed.

    If you want to remain low buck, try this. The air cleaner housing was mentioned. If you add a second snorkel, it will really open that up. If 3" exhaust isn't in the budget, add a balance tube between both sides. It really makes a difference. Also consider a reman IP. I know it's a few bucks...

    Hey there from Union County GA.

    Are M818 axles lockers?

    CSMDAVIS might have surplus rear axles with NoSpins. They do show up from time to time.

    Are M818 axles lockers?

    USMC used Detroit NoSpins in the back of some of their 809 series trucks. I don't know if tractors were one of them.

    NATO Slave Port Adapter Power Plug/Ration Heater ?

    Correct, the ration heater bag plugs right into it.

    Accepting ideas for accessorizing this dump trailer.

    I agree, trailer brakes are largely over rated.....until that family of 6 turns into your path. At that point it's trailer brakes or funeral expenses.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I have a very old one I use in the CUCV. It's more of a speedo like you say but the data comes in handy too. When I was going back and forth between FL and GA with the CUCV, I regularly wrote my mileage at fuel ups on the windshield with a sharpie. Nice place to keep notes. Also, great idea...

    Manual transmission in a HMMWV

    Unrelated to HMMWV but very related to Detroit NoSpins. The off camber spots in my area here combined with the NoSpin in the back of my CUCV and snow creates interesting situations. I find myself always trying to stay high so that a loss of traction gives me some place to slide. I was able to...

    Aux power socket/outlet

    Give me a day or two to look. I had an extra.....somewhere...I thought.
