Thanks for that part number. I'm in El Paso tomorrow and will ask at chevy dealer. Biped

Sorry, I get confused sometimes. 6.2 and 7.62 kinda run together out here. Biped

Same shock bracket since '72. Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be in a junkyard soon. 7.62 is my favorite rifle round. Biped

Cucvrus, I'm still coming up empty. The 2nd picture in the post before yours is the bracket, the one with the blue shock. You'd have to grind off 4 bolts to get it off. I'm good for buying it if you can get it off. I don't know how to post pictures but I've got some I can forward to you if...

I looked at that. i's a reinforcement not a replacement. You've got to have original bracket. These are prone to failure and this bracket is supposed to keep original from breaking. Thanks for the post. I'm on the trail of another "substitute" bracket thru Fly-N-Hi Offroad shop. Biped

The shock didn't break but it came loose because the bracket broke in half. To date I have been unable to find replacement. I want to drop fuel tank and bust off the 4 rivets and install another bracket.....if I could find one. Napa, Auto Zone and LMC Truck are a no-go. Junk yard is starting...

1 oz per 3 gallons diesel? I can't remember and I haven't been driving the truck lately. Diesel Kleen says 80 oz services 250 gallons diesel. Mild climate. I think that's what it works out to be. Any reason why it would be more or less? Biped

Not a home run. Got bigger cables. Volts upon starting would drop to 8 & 9. Now 10 & 11 volts. Something was accomplished but I still get the occasional click instead of ignition when I turn the key.

My local expert thinks one of my battery cables is under spec for the CUCV. He is fabricating a heavy duty cable. I'll know more Monday. Volts sucked down to 8 when starting. That's low per my expert and sometimes not enough to get armature spinning. More later. Biped

What is solution if armature is problem? I have new GM starter but it exhibits same problem as previous rebuilt one. Click seems to come from starter. Some teeth of rebuilt I returned to Autozone were messed up. Biped

My 1009 ate a starter in 2 years. I just replaced it and getting same empty "click" sound (sometimes 6 or more times) before contact and truck starts. Sometimes it starts first time but occasionally there is nothing but a click. I think it's shims. It doesn't have any. I'm back under it...

I see now that I was wrong. Tightening pulley and other bolts corrected the power steering issue. Biped

A slow speeds like parking lots the steering wheel is difficult to turn and may squeal a bit. This is the 3rd belt of varying sizes. The problem persists. Somewhere in my memory I recall a post where it was recommended to install the 2nd alternator to equalize the pulley. Don't hook it up to...

Thanks to everybody for your input. I've been experimenting. The angry bees sound occurs when the motor is first started. It won't occur at idle, only when you apply pedal as in driving off or revving the motor in park. It doesn't seem to be hurting anything and it goes away within 5 to 15...

Okay, it's that big hole underneath the air cleaner.

I should have said it better at the beginning. The "swarming bees" sound only occurs when I start moving. I don't get the noise from idle. It goes away after 1/10th of a mile or so. I had air cleaner noise early in my history with the CUCV. There is a gasket that goes between carburetor and...

What is that noise I get when I start my 6.2? I tell my friends the oil hasn't gotten to the top of the motor yet. It can last for 30 seconds or more, typically when motor has been shut off for a while. There is a technical answer and I'd like to know more. I don't hear it in other diesel...

James, that is an amazing job. I've seen none better. My project went to an outside body shop and I am not displeased. $5,500 later and I have a new hood, tailgate, LF fender and lots of sheet metal repair. They are good trucks if you take care of them.....noisy and somewhat drafty. That...

Thanks. I have a spare alternator and I'll mount it with a 2nd belt. Good advice. Thanks again. Biped

I had a diesel mechanic replace power steer belt because of noise. I've still got belt noise and shudder steering at speeds below 3 mph. My truck is converted to 12 volt and belt pulleys that were originally two are now one. My belt is installed on the one nearest the driver. (a) is that...
