    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally volunteers needed.

    Your memory is accurate. Most people agree, its more fun to ride a cart than a gimpy.

    New M1009 Owner

    Post up some pics so we an have a looksee. Maybe we will see something important.

    CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

    They did. Look at post #4 for pics. As far as electronics, they do have the troublesome DS4 pumps but many of their inherent problems have fixes.

    Ah, got it.

    M1028 6.2 diesel to 454 swap

    For the uninformed, what is an LMM?

    You might get skinned up if Gimp drives the cart. I seem to remember a late night sound of an overturning vehicle and a distict voice indicating that they are alright.

    Dave, any childrens sizes in these?

    M1009 Lift Suggestions needed

    Shackle flips are horrible for rear driveline angles but I know we are talking front here. Shimming the front to correct driveline angles will toss your steering angles off a cliff. Caster is a ctitically important setting for drivability. I would only shim as a dead last resort and I would be...

    M880 wheels.

    Just confirmed it. Ford went to the 8 on 170mm pattern in 99.

    2 1/2 years later and the 1009 is back on the road.

    Congrats....hope your back gets fixed as well.

    M880 wheels.

    Those will not fit....I believe. Memory is trying to tell me that Ford went metric in 99.

    Hey Tim, will you have any speedy stitchers with you this year?

    Re: Optima Battery Woes

    I have abondoned all my conventional chargers in favor of NOCO Genius chargers. They seem to be pretty darned good and have modes for AGM batts.

    Own your own B-52!!! Buyer Load, ran when parked.

    Can it be flat towed off site?

    M103a2 wrecker minion

    I had one of these for use behind my M108. Was handy for that purpose but the 108 has 2' less stick so I couldn't load the aft part of the trailer while hooked.

    M1008 Fuel tank 'drain' tube? What about a fuel tank air pressure bleeder?

    That is actually an auxiliary tap for a fuel fired heater to draw fuel from the tank. I have also used them as a means to transfer fuel into the tank as well as a secondary pickup when the sock got spooged up.

    Tire carrier

    Once again, we agree. Perhaps the solution could be an axle from an M101A2 or A3. They have hand brakes but sadly, are hydraulically operated. Cost of a new Dexter would far exceed the cost of the trailer.

    M1028 6.2 diesel to 454 swap

    I agree, on paper this makes more sense. In my fixed income world, the cost of the swap is only complicated by the need for a scan tool and complexity beyond my skills. A mild 454 for the little driving I do coupled with the simplicity of throttle body injection gets me where I need for a...

    M1028 6.2 diesel to 454 swap

    I may have to commence my own 454 swap. The mountains here all but kill off a 6.2, especially in an 8500# CUCV.
