I was at work and I heard someone drive up in the CUCV M1028 we have been beating for 25 plus years.
View attachment 922379 I could hear it coming from a mile away. Anyway he shut it off and went and did some work. When it started it up and drove away I heard the strange sound the starter made engaging. I seen it parked at another location and decided to take a look see.
View attachment 922380 Problem number 1 3/8” starter bolts. Problem number 2 no support bracket. I spoke with the man that works on the vehicles and he basically blew me off and said it was good and that bracket was not needed. NAPA sent him the bolts and they were just a bit long so he used washers to make up for it. I thought about it and offered my help to deaf and ears. Next day zing zing. The starter is grinding and guess who found the broken bolt? I told them I have the remedy and can get you the right parts. Not listening again. More later. I have the correct parts coming to myself and will share the numbers when they arrive.
