Umm, this post is a year old. I don't think he's still got it. Later, Joe

Here's a design that a friend of mine is working on for his 78 Bronco. The stock carrier ripped up the quarter when the latch wasn't quite closed and he went around a corner and the 35" tire swung it open. The long platform under the cans isn't there anymore, he's changed his mind and is...

I know you replaced the pump... I've been following along for a while now... LOL I would try rotating the pump off the marks to see if it helps anything to make sure it's not the timing and the marks are wrong or something. Move it about a quarter inch off the marks in one direction then see...

My 1008 smokes white on initial startup when it's cold, white smoke in a diesel can be unburnt fuel. Did you make sure that the timing on the IP is correct? Can you get a compression test done on it? It really sounds to me like the injection timing is off. Have you tried loosening the three...

LOL, that'll do it... :D Later, Joe

If you look close at the rubber 'cap' you'll see a line because it's supposed to have a spade terminal sticking out of it and it probably got busted off. The only thing the wire is for is to turn the brake warning light on on the dash if you have a failure in one side of the brake system...

Still trying to make this happen... LOL Life hasn't been cooperating at all and keeps taking all the money I get set aside for fuel. Anyone need something moved in that direction? Later, Joe

The complete truck price would depend on the condition of the rest of the truck (rust, etc) and the completeness of the powertrain. Is it non-running because the engine is blown or non-running because that's how it came from GL (dead batts, etc) I've seen them go from $1500-4000 depending on...

1156 was too big for the last M101 that I swapped to 12V. Take the 24V bulb out and take it into the store, then compare it to the packs until you find the 12V equivalent. It's been a couple of months and I didn't write the number down but it was at the local O'reilly's. IIRC, you need 4 of...

Check for 12V at the two terminal diamond shaped block just above the master cylinder. If you don't have 12V there, trace the wire that runs across the firewall to the negative battery terminal on the rear battery. Either that fusible link is blown or the wire is broken. Later, Joe

Go find a civvy pickup at a salvage yard with the right tank, pull all the bracketry off the frame with it. Bolt it in the existing holes in your frame. Plumbing it is a little more difficult. If you can get all the lines and the tank switch when you get the tank, do that, otherwise, you are...

The trailer plug is 12V. Yes, you can tap in/use a T Connector harness to add a modern civvy trailer plug. Use a commercial harness for a pre-85 truck though. The glow plugs are 12V, the resistor feeding them is supplied from 24V. The controller card CANNOT handle 24V and will die a smokey...

That's awesome... thanks for the link. I'll add it to the other 1031 SECM manuals that I have. And of course, if anyone needs the TMs for the 1031 SECM body, just drop me a PM with your email address. I have the SECM -13 and 23P, generator and PTO manuals in addition to this Governor manual...

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner... I live near Ft Carson and could pick-up and possibly store for a short time. PM me if you still need help. Later, Joe

Oil is a big no-no in any lock, but doubly so on any truck that will see dusty/dirty conditions. The oil will attract dirt and will eventually gum up the lock. Dry graphite powder is the lubricant of choice for locks as it does not attract dirt. Spray a little in the keyhole and work the key...

Is the truck the 1031 with the stand-alone generator SECM body or the one with the PTO driven generator? If it's the PTO driven unit, the TMs (9-4940-562-13 and 23P) are still classified and you cannot get them from the Army directly. That said, PM me with an e-mail address and I'll send you...

Glad you and your son are ok. Just out of curiosity, how did the towbar fare in the accident? I've always wondered what would happen in your exact circumstances. I disagree, in part, with your statement mostly because of what they replace the CUCV with after it's gone. HMMWVs are not nearly as...

I wonder if some guy working on it after it came out of the military just said, "It's a Stanadyne DB2, why wouldn't it work? They're the same pump, right?" aua Hopefully wherever you got the new pump from will let you use the Ford pump as a core... Or is this the 'new to you' pump off the short...
