    Axle Hub Bearing... need a diagram

    Which axle are you talking about? Dana 60 is so easy you probably won't even need a diagram of your a mechanic guy. All you need is a Dana 60 spindle nut socket, which any auto parts store will have.

    engine question...*turbo install comming*

    I've thought about doing a turbo. A good friend of mine is a diesel technician, and says whatever I do...run a stud girdle and get good quality head gaskets to replace the 20+ year old ones.

    Name that noise

    Same thing happened to me, was pulling a winch line in when I started to hear it...took a few people to finally figure out what the noise was. Had to use a pulley puller to move the pulley far enough to fit a wrench in to tighten it back down.

    Turbo 400 rear seal question

    Hes confusing you by saying the rear output... there is a seal where the rear driveshaft goes into the transfer case, yeah...but hes talking about the transfer case adapter between the tranny and t-case. Mine is just RTV, but paper seals are available like the above poster said.

    Rear Diff Smells like a Sewer PLUS: ID these diff parts???

    You found a half cup of metal shavings, and several big pieces of junk, filled it up and decided to see it would magically fix itself? :cookoo: Time for a new differential, since the pieces you found are whats supposed to be holding it together.

    go prepared

    My M1028 came with a 1/8 steel skid plate under the tank. Trucks have saddle tanks, with skid plates.

    M1008 Hydro Winch

    Crossover steering doesn't require tapping the box, I think you mean hydro assist. Tapping the box for a winch is kind of over complicating it a bit.

    m1028 crank pully

    Yes its normal...thats how engines are normally first tested at junk yards etc, if it can be turned over by hand it tells you its not seized up.

    Dont need to torque them, as tight as you can get with a ratchet is fine.

    CUCV's And CARC

    Notice the key words 'long term exposure'. Wear a mask and take a shower afterwords...no different than sanding any other paint off a vehicle. You aren't going to die :roll: Spray it down with water and sand it, you won't get as much 'death dust'. Motor oil causes skin cancer, I don't see people...

    M1008 / M1009 CUCV Oil Cooler Line Failure

    When our daughter was born I traded my 1994 GMC Sierra GT for a 2003 Kia Spectra (Both vehicles were on reconstructed titles) Went from 14mpg on a good day to 28mpg, and the only thing 'reconstructed' on the Kia was the trunk. It doesn't match, but I don't care. Kia's are decent cars.

    Why so Hot?

    I will also point out you can't fully flush the block without pulling a plug on the bottom, water will just run right over the sediment on the bottom. Gotta stick a thin punch in there and rattle it around to break it up.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Got rid of the torn up rubber matting on the floor, fixed the rust as best I could, and painted it.

    Lifetime Oil Filter

    If they want to sell it, I want to see a 10,000 mile oil sample tested after filtration to see how clean it still is. Only then would I buy it.

    Hub Removal Tool

    I put the hub on the floor and use a long socket extension to remove everything. Goes back in the same way it comes out, then I tighten down the spindle nut as far as it will go to suck everything back into place. Back off the spindle nut, then torque to proper specs.

    Pull fuses one by one until the draw goes away. Will be time consuming, but it should tell you what the problem is.
