question about m-1008

[leophard189]

hey guys just bought an 87 m-1008 with 17000 original miles for 5500 in north carolina. truck is all original. what would be a good way to check engine and drive train to make sure everything is in good working order? what type of lift should i use to put on humvee tires? i dont want the tires to rub. where can i get the camo paint scheme for touch ups? thank you guys in advance for any help.

The camo patterns are in TB 43-0209 in the Tech Manual section. Also look at the stickies at the top of the CUCV forum. Your CUCV moderator took the time to create links to all of the CUCV tech manuals you need and yes, you need them. Read them well and often.

The best way to see if everything is working right is to drive the truck.

Agree with tsmall - drive it around a bit, listen for noises, feel for vibrations. Jack up the right wheel and try to move it side-to-side to check the front end. Eyeball the u-joints, break out the grease gun and hit all those zerks.
