What was done: 1) Rear hubs fully disassembled, refurbished, turned, all new linings, parts kits, seals, adjuster nut replaced. 2) Rear diff...

    M1008 rear axle (seal replacement)

    SO, as of today I was informed that some CUCVs were DOT 3 and others upgraded to the DOT 5? This was from one of the MV Surplus vendors I use. My truck is DOT 5 and is labeled as such which is why I had concerns about the seals in the cylinders from the local part stores. I have decided to...

    M1008 rear axle (seal replacement)

    UPDATE: Returned the two wheel cylinders from pep boys since one box I opened was a completly different one. Went to O'reilly and found that they had the same box as dorman, the same part number as dorman but under a different name. Then I asked what type of DOT fluid it was rated for... DOT 3...

    M1008 rear axle (seal replacement)

    Ok, I need some help. Does anyone have a part number for the 1 1/8 rear wheel cylinder from either pep boys or napa? I bought two from pep boys, same part numbers but both are different and the one which looks like it would replace mine has a bigger diameter. I looked at some other threads but...

    M1008 rear axle (seal replacement)

    Good Saturday everyone. I have found a concern while putting my new wheel cylinders on. I purchased these from Pep Boys. You can see the part number in the pictures. My question is, should the dust covers be squished into the ears like this? I don't have any adjustment room and I am worried the...

    M1008 rear axle (seal replacement)

    Chaski, apologize for the delay. Finally have a day pretty much to myself to work on the truck. I have not pulled the diff cover off yet. I am trying to get the brakes on first, minus the installation of the axles so that I can free up the work bench... darn kids keeping me busy. Once I get the...

    M1008 rear axle (seal replacement)

    Ok, so I pulled the passenger side tire, axle shaft, drum and found some issues. The pads have good meat but the drums need to be resurfaced. The seal was definitely blown and needs replacement. The splines on the axle shaft look good with no damage or bad wear. Decided to pull the plug on the...

    Is this an 880 Brake pad?

    I purchased 8 of these thinking they when to the CUCV but after dissembling the drum on the CUCV these pads are different. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Also, what civilian dodge would these go on?

    M1008 rear axle (seal replacement)

    Just got the truck in jack stands. Found my rear passenger wheel has a leak. Have to open her up and see what is going on. Going to replace all seals and related items and probably do the brakes.

    Air over Hydro Brakes in op (M35A2)

    I am interested in this. What size would I get for a brake like 1/4 inch? Are they just a soft copper in which I would still flare? I am referring to the napa lines.

    Air over Hydro Brakes in op (M35A2)

    So after looking the brake line over this is what I have in mind. 1) Remove line from brake hose at the front passenger wheel. 2) Use a tube cutter to cut the line at the middle of the cross member. 3) Take out bad section of line, bend to fit new line and use a fitting to affix new line to...

    Air over Hydro Brakes in op (M35A2)

    Hi everyone, Yes, this topic has been covered. I have checked the forums and didn't see my symptoms in them. I have also looked at my TMs in my garage but cannot find my troubleshooting TM. Looked at the forum TMs and can't remember the TM number and the ones I read through don't have...

    Installing reverse lights

    Finally finished my simple task of installing rear lights on the back of the deuce. Started off with two 24V armor lights I purchased at the last tower park meet along with about 30 feet of wiring. First I reconditioned the old light housings and mounted them. Next I ran wiring through both...

    Installing reverse lights

    Ok so it appears that lead # 17 on the bulb is high beam and #18 is low. The stud does act as ground and since I now know that the fog has highs and lows i can change the plug as needed.

    Installing reverse lights

    @ Gimpyrobb, lol thank you for the advice. I do wheel it but not aggressively. I tow bar the cucv to my campsite so I can wheel that. @ Scar 59. Good advice and thank you for knowing what the switch came from as I was puzzled as to why it said "WARNING" on it haha. So I looked for available...

    Howdy Gents, I am looking for information and guidance on installing lights on the rear of my M35A2. The lights will mount behind the mudflaps on the rear cross member of the bed. Above the tail light and below the reflector as seen in the pictures. I will run the wiring next to the tail light...
