I just have to ask....is this for real? Like really real? Because if it is, my nightmares and troubles might be over...

RE: CUCV M1008 common parts with civilian Chevy or GMC picku I'm waiting to get back to the states before I do any major engine work, but everything else I've found at JCWhitney and other aftermarket sites. TM 9-2320-289-20P has been completely indispensable to me, as it lists most all the part...

RE: Re: RE: electrical hack job and misc electrical Excellent. Totally makes sense, and I appreciate you clearing this up for me. It's just one of those little things that has been nagging on me for awhile...

I'm interested in this one too. I've been toying around putting a winch on mine as soon as I get the rest of the body work restored...

I don't know if this is related or not, as I'm pretty much a newbie to CUCV's, but I know that on my 1028, when the engine is cold my truck idles higher until it warms up. When I start it, I just rev it once to let the pedal throttle lock take hold. Once it's warmed up, the gas pedal will...

Re: RE: cab panels I've done a bit of snooping around, and actually today there's a big auction for used GOV's, but I perused the lot and all they had were old fleet vehicles, like Ford Rangers and panel vans. Nothing of note. They've begun to realize that folks are really interested in the...

RE: cab panels Thanks for the info guys. I was thinking about using the epoxies, but was unsure of how good it would work. Sounds like I'll be using that for the majority of the spot work. As for the Coasties, it just so happens that I'm good friends with a couple (always good to befriend the...

Much appreciate the info. I'll definitely take a look at the arc... I guess I should have mentioned that this is my '86 M1028...got all caught up and forgot to mention that...

Ok all, I'm looking for a couple of tips. I'm down at GTMO, and getting parts and service is pretty much like the rest of Cuba, non-existent. Smaller and cosmetic parts I can get, but anything major isn't happening. I've pretty much entirely redone the interior, so if any of you want info on...

oops..or no pic. Guess I'll get to that when I'm not at work LOL

There's quite a good handful of CUCV's down here, and folks are always clammering for them. I really had to put the heat on the guy to get my 1028. I think there's probably more 1009's than anything else though. As for 5-tons and the bigger vehicles, I haven't seen too many, though I haven't...

I'm using HMMWV tires on my 1028. The guy who owned the truck before me got them for a steal. The military here at GTMO ordered a ton of them, then realized they were about 1/2 inch or something wrong size, and sold the lot of them to our GTMO tire shop. I really love 'em, and they really make a...

Muches gracias for the help. Both are definitely a possibility. I'm taking in for some routine maintenance tomorrow, so I'll have them take a look. I'm having a look at the suspension while she's up on the lift as well...thinking of having the entire rig replaced, leaf springs, shocks...

First, I want to say thanks to everyone on Steel Soldiers for their great posts! I've not yet had to actually post a question, as I find all my answers in great detail before I even have the chance to post! I hope I searched effectively enough and am not re-asking a question already answered...

I like to refer to it the Fonz maneuver as "Percussive Maintenance". It's good for all sorts of things. When I was kid, my dad used to even use it on me!

I have hummer tires on my m1028, and I'm trimming the fenders next week or so, as they rub in sharp turns. They look real good though, and raise the height of the truck some. I have no plans for a lift kit since these tires have been put on, my girlfriend has already requested I mount a step...

I'm in the process of gutting the interior of my M1028. I've managed to find and order OEM parts for everything, except for the rubber mat, so I feel your pain. I was looking at one on JC Whitney, but I'm hesitant to buy something I'm not sure will fit. I'm living at GTMO in Cuba, so getting...
