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

    Was that horses or decibels?

    "Categories of Risk", or "When Everything is Emphasized Nothing is Emphasized"

    What kind of fantastic stories could we tell if it weren't for the idiocy of mankind. The only pics we would have would be selfies. BTW, never in the history of human existence has man ducumented himself so much, doing so little. I don't care for selfies.

    Rally's planning

    Probably May time frame. If you post it too early, the info gets lost in all the posts.

    Best one stop shop for bolts/lockwashers/fittings?

    If you are not in a hurry, deals can be had on ebay. Surplus dealers often end up with large lots of a single size fastener. I bought 5# grade 8 1/2" nylocks a while back for likely a dollar or two over shipping cost. I maintain a fair inventory of SAE grade 8 stuff (and everything else) in my...

    Rally's planning

    GA rally is a hoot. Worth 700 miles in the saddle of any MV.

    M101A3 mods for Jeep/off road

    Few things to consider that were not covered. If you plan utility use, consider this. The fenders are actually the same size but A3 fender are positioned out further. The A3 has 55" between the fenders, all the others have 45". If you ever plan on hauling a full sheet of plywood, drywall or...

    M51, should I buy?

    The 6602 gas motor is wicked. I love the M39 series with the flat grill.

    Humvee Brakes Locking Up

    Since all the brakes are locking up, it is the classic symptoms of a blocked compensating port. As a troubleshooting technique, you could shim out the MC with a couple of washers and do a test run.

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

    Here it is. Granted, mine is an M887 box but results would be similar.

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

    I love the look of the lights recessed in buckets but can't swallow the loos of space. There is kind of a compromise. LED composites don't require the bowl on the back. By cutting a square hole, you only have slight intrusion (guessing an inch) and the 5 wires. Looking for a pic I took.

    Top Speed for unmodified CUCV?

    I have a GPS speedo app in my phone. Its a pain to deal with while driving but its great when my son is driving and I need to check his speed.

    Top Speed for unmodified CUCV?

    I have succomed to the world of GPS. I have older, outdated GPS units for my trucks. Maps may be dated but they make wonderful speedo, odo and trip calculators. My reported speeds are based off these.

    My Kantleak is leaking

    FWIW, I would save the old valves to tinker with. IIRC, the factory ones were brass and had lapped seats. Might be worth reworking.

    Top Speed for unmodified CUCV?

    At 55 MPH with stock tires and gearing you are turning 2806 rpm. At 59 MPH its turning 3000 rpm and at red line of 3600 rpm you're at 71 MPH. I've always run mine up in the 61-62 range and now that I have 4.10 gear, 66-68.

    Front leaf springs

    Posted that in the wrong thread. Guess I shouldn't be running so many tabs open.

    M1008 rear wheel cylinder

    The 2 part numbers in the TM cover UOC209 (blazer) and the other part number is for all the other UOC codes which is basically all the trucks. I did see that you were referring to the TM, that's why all the UOC details.

    Need to pick someone's brain: Forlorn rotting M275/M48?

    If you seek one they are expensive. If you're trying to sell one, they bring a pittance. The M48 is rare as hens teeth. hndrsnj has the only M48 I've ever seen. Does it have a spare tire carrier on the porch?
