    CUCV M1008 wobbling. Help needed

    No not the entire knucke! There are plastic bearings that need to be replaced. Off Road Design is a good parts source for upgrade design parts. The oem parts are flimsy.

    CUCV M1008 wobbling. Help needed

    Sounds like what is called “death wobble”, can be caused by many issues but by far the simplest to fix is tire defects like you have. If problem remains after new tires, the knuckles on the front axle will need overhaul.

    Welcome Shaun. It appears that GP purges off the sold listings after about a year or so.

    M1097A2 configuration question

    The six hole rectangular pattern on the flat plate mounted a “sugar scoop” antenna bracket. Entire thing looks shop made.

    Hello from central Texas

    Maybe I can offer a little motivation on the 757s, I had the pleasure of driving a 656 back in the day and OMG what a screamer that truck is, the Allison keeps the turned up 220 hp LDS way up in the RPMs and man it runs like a scalded dog, very impressive.

    Hello from central Texas

    Wow, you live in the epicenter of MV barn and pasture finds, people have been hauling stuff off Ft Hood auctions since WWII. I used to be guilty of that myself.

    M38 engine ?

    Well if it’s a flathead with 4 spark plugs sticking up out of the head, it’s a 134. To see if you have a M38 military engine, look at the serial number boss near the water pump, a M38 engine will start with “MC”. Regardless the post war flathead Jeep engines are basically the same 1946 until...

    Apparently you must be unaware of this, the “bots” send you directed advertisements based on your search history.

    Odd Brackets on M105A2

    Does a sledge hammer fit in them? Might be to hold hammer needed to drive in ground rods.

    M54a2 oil leak

    Suggest you leave the transmission oil level 1" low inside the case and use 80W-90.

    M54a2 oil leak

    Is it dripping GO 90 or OE 30?

    Hot in Arizona

    Suggest you verify the gauge temps with a thermal gun. If you are truly near boilover, look for clogged radiator tubes. No clue if your electric fan has enough CFM to do the job, suggest you get rid of it and go back to the very dependable mechanical fan.

    Is your PTO engaged?

    2002 HmMWV DEEEEP fording ? PICS

    Be glad they didn’t use a chain saw to remove the fording valve. All the pieces they removed are readily available.

    Correct 1982 Army green

    I agree, 1970's vehicles such as the M880s did not get 24087 semi gloss. 34079 is the base color of most MERDC patterns.

    Correct 1982 Army green

    No, that is a WWII color. 24087 would be under a MERDC camouflage. No doubt your wrecker has 383 green on it NOW, but you can be assured that that paint is not what was sprayed on at the AM General factory 39 years ago. These "A0" trucks came with alkyd enamel MERDC camo.

    1998 LMTV m1078 3116 pulling a code d1-6600 d2-4212 d3-6927

    Suggest you go over the harness extremely thoroughly from the WTEC III controller to the transmission looking for more wire issues. Especially where the harness flexes when the cab rotates. The controller verifies that the two wire solenoid circuits are: 1. Not shorted to ground 2. Not...

    No, that is a WWII color. 24087 would be under a MERDC camouflage.

    Correct 1982 Army green

    I say no. The NATO 3 color camouflage came about a little later, with the HMMWVs and CUCVs in 1984.
