Augi, Thanks for clearing up my misinformation. I had always been told that the valve by your right knee labeled Vent on the top and Deep Ford on the bottom was to disconnect the fan. I took a look at a few partially disassembled HMMWV's to get the real story behind it after reading your post...

My tag/title office has my CUCV listed as Chevy D30 Military P TRK and the insurance card is Chevy D30 Military Truck. GA classified my Deuce as a MPV since the local tag/title office didn't have a clue what to call it.

I noticed the temp gauge is bottomed out, my work truck drops in the yellow when the glow plugs kick back in after a cold start. It'll jump back up to green when they release and then jump back to yellow when they engage again. After all that, it'll jump just to the right of the line in the...

Close, the longer nose actually started with the addition of A/C which resulted in the radiator and all coolers laying flater to accommodate the evaporator. The engine is the same size, sit's in the same spot but the turbocharged models have a revised "doghouse" that protrudes more into the...

The problem with driving a HMMWV in deep water is there is not much to keep it out of the cabin. In fact there a holes in the floor pan that will allow it right into the truck so even though it's rated at 5 feet of water, you're crew along with yourself will be underwater trapped inside so to...

NORMAL :driver: I drive them all the time and they do this new from the factory when running down the road at those speeds. If it bothers your, you can disconnect the 4 wire connector by the windshield wiper reservoir and your fan clutch will be engaged all the time and the loud roaring from...

Glad if was a successful trip. Your brake issue is likely a lack of proper brake maintenance. There are adjusters on the backside of each drum. The top ones are for major adjustments, the bottoms are the fine tune adjustments. Secure the axle up in the air on a jack stand (both sides), spin...

Not sure if you need them, I've got 2 duck cloth end curtains NOS NIB that I'll send to you for the cost of postage. Awesome thread, let me know if you need them and good luck finding a matching bed cover. They smell like grease, not sure what that's about but they are new as can be.

one advantage is having a locked up rear and if your lucky like me, a locker in the front end. That Cucvnut owe's me some cookies, I'm planning a trip to Barstow to collect!!!!

I've got an M818 with the NHC-250 Cummins in my yard right now that cranks fine on 2 Hawker's. They are the same size as the 6TL's from Interstate but they hold about 1400 CCA's each. They are expensive but compared to buying 4 batteries, they save a little money and do the same job down here...

I'd position the step deck in such a manner that I had plenty of room behind me, chock the wheels, cage the rear brakes, secure a 20 foot chain to one of the front shackles and the rear of the trailer, remove wheel chocks, start truck, bump it into reverse just to get it moving, ease off the...

Mine's on Firestone T831's with duals on the rear. It ran fine on the old NDC's 9's, I'm going to flip the shims this weekend after reading this and will post my results. Currently, it feels very jumpy when it hits a bump or a depression in the road. I'd like to get back to a more solid feel...

RRAD is an awesome facility, I lived there for about 3 weeks 2 summers ago as I attended MRAP University there. As for taking on Civilian work or helping out on a Civilian owned truck, I could only wish you the best of luck. I'm sure there is some great talent there, but I can assure the work...

Mine seems to leak out of the aircompressor via the unloader on the firewall. When the air pressure drops to about 90, the unloader calls for air and it all bleeds on out from there. I'm not sure where the first 30 psi of air is leaking, I just drain the tanks when I park since the whole...

I broke a fuel line to the flame heater on my Deuce one time and wound up with the exact same symptoms. I know, different everything but one thing stayed the same. It'd start right up after a long sit but stall out after a few seconds. It'd come back to life after a bit of cranking. The lift...

Well, it could be a secret love. PB told me that he doesn't care for CUCV's, now he own's one as do I. Ron could be in denial, CUCV's normally don't have a split rim that can come apart on you if you neglect to check the air in the tires. It really was neat to watch the locking ring and then...

Did Travis ever get the A/C conversion working in that truck? Looked pretty nice last time I saw if for the SGM Association Car Show. I'll try to get my better half a M1009 one of these days so I can take back my M1028!!! Good Score!!!

I like the link to Devilman's build. I'm getting ready to do the same thing to a truck at work. We'll be putting a 6.5 GEP with Turbo from a HMMWV into the truck. This will be my learning truck, then the NOS USMC CUCV will undergo the knife for the first time and receive a 6.5 GEP with Turbo...

Sir, You are very well respected on this board, I'll extend the same courtesy. I've read many times that adding a turbo to a multi equals zero power increase. I can't quite figure that one out at all. The N/A's smoke like crazy when you press the pedal or "up the fuel". Black Smoke. I...

If I lay off the Nattie's, ie motivation fuel for 2 weeks, I could stop drinking altogether and then have a fire sale of the mess of stuff in my yard. It'd upset the balance of things around here!!!
