Most stuff that goes wrong with 21/2 ton are minor. That goes the same with any USED truck, you will have problems. But for a 40 year old truck you can't get a better truck, Unless it was trash by the last owner.

If just going to be Military-ish. Just paint it a solid carc green unless your going to camo it. That is how the army does it.

Your best bet is to find a military CUCV to look at. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

You need to check your wiring. The glow plug solenoid should not afect the starter at all.It is 12v and its only purpose is the glow plugs. If it was bad, the starter still cranks over. So you need to check the wiring, someone or something might have happen to it before you got it (truck).

Re: Battery The one's the military used where 24volt and where wired so.

Re: RE: CUCV solenoid & starting problems...again The glow plugs are not on the same circuit and would not cause what you are saying is happening. Try the troubleshooting in the last post. 1st chance you get you should get the CUCV TM 9-2320-289-20. You will find it a big help, with...

Hope this helps 1 Check 20 amp fuse, Replace if burned out 2 Test voltage of batteries, if not 12.5 charge 3 Load test each battery, should not drop more than 1 -2 volts, if it does replace 4 Inspect lead connections at starter solenoid for corrosion and damage. 5 Check for voltage at...

It has to be the Starter, If it tested AT the starter 24 volts. At least it is under warr.From what you wrote, it sounds like the solenoid is not in gauging. :!: BUT 1st load test the batteries, they can be 12v each and still be bad. 1 or both that is ( can't handle the load from the starter...

Test the volts at the starter, it should be at least 24. If it is than it is the starter. I would take to shop and have them check, and than rebuilt it. It cost alot less than over the counter.

Re: RE: CUCV There is also are turn in tags that the military uses. Stating the condition of the equit, one of them is also RED meaning unserviceable. But that being said, Few years back I got a 5kw gen at the old DRMO auction with one on it, I got it home and after freaking out. My friend who...

RE: trailer What no takers? I will take offers.

Re: Battery Military took them off all their trucks. They were creating alot of problems with the batteries. They are in the stage of testing something new.

And you shouldn't be cranking the starter for extend periods with out a cool down between tries anyway.

The military set up is 12 volts (glow plugs)

Manuf. part# 25004140 It's from the 289-20-P. The parts guy at the NAPA I deal at, cross matchs it to a NAPA#. You used to be able to do it at their web site. But they took it off, why who knows? 9 out of 10 times the part#'s cross over out of the military parts manual (CUCV & M880s) Not the...

When you disconnect the ground, connect a voltmeter to the battery and a good ground. If there is a draw you will see it on the voltmeter, and how much. If there is none than one or both your batterys are bad.
