There was a fellow on epay or maybe it was the Nashville craigslist who was selling HMMWV takeout engines for $550 and he guaranteed them. You just have to swap out a few 24V items on the injector with your CUCV parts and you can drop it right in.

I was young once, too. I drove a '72 Olds 442 from Whidbey Island, WA to Nashville, TN in three days. My butt was so sore after those three days that I didn't want to sit down for days. For the sake of argument, figure that you aren't going to push the truck by driving with the foot to the...

I am very near Old Hickory and can lend a hand if you have problems near here. I would count on at least 6 to 7 days drive time. 500 miles a day in that truck will be all you want to do. Bring plenty of tools and a credit card.

My only criticism is the lack of fire damage, and bent/broken parts. Fire will initially be seen as smoke damage, burned paint, and then metal burned clean and heavily rusted. Also look at how tires burn (usually top down with lots of wires showing through black particles of burned rubber).

Keep lookinjg through the parts breakdown manual, it's there.

Wolf.Dose, there are probably more WWII US military vehicles in Europe than the US. Especially tracked vehicles.

Lucy! You got some 'splainin' to do!

Let me introduce you to a concept called a "joke".

Look in the Resources section at the top of the page for Technical Manuals. There are several pages so you will have to page through them to find the CUCV manuals. The schematics are in the -20 manual way in the back.

The schematic appears to have the large red and small orange on one side of the large terminals and big orange on opposite side. The pink wire is the power for the relay and the lt blue is the other side (small terminals). It sounds like you have a shorted wire somewhere. Download the...

Since you say that the starter was bad and you changed it, double check to make sure you didn't hook up the wires on your starter incorrectly. The solenoid in your hand is the glow plug relay.

Get a wooden post and chain one through each rear wheel so that it is sticking out about a foot and go slowly.

A lot (most?) people here get their MV's from Government Surplus Auctions at Government Liquidation where you can pick one up for $1500 or less. That leaves you and your dad $2500 for repairs, add-ons, locking hubs, super single tires, winches, and other goodies. Parts are plentiful and fairly...

The AM General is exactly the same truck as the Kaiser Jeep because Kaiser was sold to AM General lock, stock, and barrel (plus military contract and workers).

Heatsinks and fans of that size are cheap and it operates off 24 vdc. If you had a reflector, it would definitely be a great spotlight or headlight.

If your FDC is bypassed, how will turning the screw do anything?

BTW, a fully charged battery should read about 13.5 volts dc.

Call Napa and Autozone and Carquest. One of them will test it.

The alternators are not standard alternators like you find on most vehicles. Those vehicles have the the casing of the alternator electrically grounded to the alternator windings. The GM CUCVs alternators are 12 v each and have the negative terminal electrically isolated from ground. This...
